Nasira bigla ang magandang mood ng dalawa, who would have thought that they unfortunately meet a trash in this kind of place. Mabilis nila itong hinabol, Inakbayan ni Eduardo ang kapatid ng maabutan ito at bumulong dito, “Oh, dear brother, naligaw ka 'ata? Alam mo bang ang mga kagaya mo ay hindi bagay sa lugar na ito? Kung ako sayo, ngayon palang ay simulan mo nang umalis, mapapahiya ka lang din naman," Matigas na sambit nito sa kanyang tenga. Napayuko na lamang siya sa narinig.

At napatango nalang ako, at biglang nagtawanan sila ng malakas. "Damn it! RIP, buddy!" sabay-sabay nilang sinabi, at tawa na naman ng malakas. Sigh! But I don't care. They can think whatever they want. Basta ako, I know that strange girl was the one for me. And I still believe, someday, we will meet again... --- GABRIELLA MONICA JIMENEZ POV Nagising ako sa mumunting mga halik na dumampi sa aking mukha. Kaya't unti-unti kong iminulat ang aking mga mata...

"May nagsabi sa aking nandoon ang mga kasagutan sa tanong ko, nalaman niyang hinahanap ko si Niko at mukhang alam niya rin kung ano ako pero hindi naging mapanganib ang tingin niya!" Maybe some people are still not blind by their prejudices and I want her to know that too. "Sino ang nagsabi sa'yo non?" Imbis na matuwa sa balita kong may ibang tao na hindi mapanganib para sa amin, mas nagdilim lang ang ekspresyon niya. "Kilala mo ba?" "Hindi pero-" "Naniniwala ka sa sinasabi ng isang estranghero?!" Aniya na parang tama nga siya at nasisiraan na ako ng utak.

“I didn’t know who you were. I wouldn’t have—” “I know,” she cut in. “Neither did I.” Silence stretched between them. Awkward. Raw. Heavy with things unspoken. “I didn’t plan it,” she added, her voice softer now. “I don’t usually… do things like that.” He nodded. “Neither do I.” They stood there for a moment, two strangers bound by a mistake neither of them anticipated. “You’re not in trouble,” he said finally. “I’m not that kind of man.”

“Pero sir, wala pa po ako nasisimulan. First day ko po, ‘di ba?” “I know. Yun lang gagawin mo. Just be there.” “Huh?” Napatanga ako. Hanggang sa dumating na ang food delivery, parang naka-freeze pa rin utak ko. Just be there? Talagang wala akong gagawin? Sasahod ako nang ganito kalaki para lang tumambay? True stone ba?

As if silence is his way to calm himself down and afraid he might say something he shouldn’t. “Masiyadong plain. Hindi bagay sa necktie mo.” “Magb-beach ka ba?” “Masiyadong maluwang.” “Ano ’yan? Bakit stripes? Parang pantulog. Matutulog ka sa simbahan?”

“Hindi pala ako dapat nakikipag-usap sa strangers. Sabi ni Mommy, stranger daw si Mr. Handsome.” Bahagyang ngumiti si Dashiel. “Your mom is right,” mahina niyang sagot. “Stranger nga ako.”

“Ayos lang ako, Girl. Gusto ko lang naman na mapag-isa. Huwag kang mag-alala at uuwi ako ng ligtas.” With that, Ate Marissa left, but I’m still not convinced with what she said. I couldn’t help but to feel worried about that, so I immediately ran after her, but I was being bumped which made me groan in pain. “Attento, perché vorrei ancora tutto quello che avevi, Bitch.” the stranger whispered just enough for me to hear it, and then she went to the waves of the people passing by.

Na-appreciate niya ang sinabi nito. “Thanks,” she said. “Hindi ko in-expect na magsalita sa isang stranger na katulad mo ngayon. Nakakahiya ang pinagdadaanan ko.” Clarence offered a comforting smile. “Sometimes it’s easier to talk to someone you don’t know. No judgments, no history.” “You’re right. Kailangan ko talaga ng makakausap ngayon. Tomorrow was supposed to be the happiest day of my life, but now. . . well, you know that story.”

Chances are, we’ll never cross paths again after this. Sabi nga nila, mas maayos na kausap ang isang estranghero tungkol sa bagay na hindi mo maintindihan.

Karamihan pa naman sa kanila, may substance lagi ang mga sinasabi. “Teka muna,” I said, squinting at him. “Hindi mo naman siguro ako kilala, 'no?”
