I was busy scrolling through my phone when suddenly, a friend request appeared to my timeline.
'Dwight Barnuevo sent you a friend request.'
I cringed and take a look of his profile. Uh, dummy account pala.
Akala ko naman real account. Sabagay, writer's account ko naman 'to. "Ano 'yan, ate Czarah? Poser?" Halos mapahiyaw naman ako sa gulat nang marinig ang mahinang boses ng pinsan kong babae na si Jamie. Bigla-biglang bumubulong, buset!
"Tae ka!" I glare at her and uttered, "Hindi poser 'yan kundi dummy account. Ibig sabihin, nagtatago ng identity, parang gano'n." Napatango naman ito sa sinabi ko.
"Ba't nag-unfriend sa'yo, crush ka? Ganda mo, te, a." She chuckled on her own mock but stopped when I glare at her, again.
"Una, add friend 'yon at hindi unfriend. Pangalawa, a-aba malay ko."
"Aaah."
Tinalikuran ko ito at muling hinarap ang screen ng phone ko.
Hm, he's mysterious at maraming admirers ha.
"Ico-comfirn mo? Type mo ano?"
"A-Ano ba!" Puro gulat ha! "Confirm 'yon, hindi comfirn! At tsaka, h-hindi 'no!" Agad kong pinindot ang 'delete request' at agad na pinatay ang phone. "Oh, happy?" Napatango naman ito nang kaunti at muling bumangisngis ng tawa.
"Ay kaya pala ako nandito dahil nagbebenta si mama ng coffee jelly, bibili ka?" My gosh, buset naman nitong batang ito.
"Aba, rumaraket na mama mo a."
"Oo naman, hirap ngayon e, new normal na."
"Osige, dalawa."
"Ang siba mo a." Aba't..
"Basta dalawa!" Agad naman itong napatakbo papalabas ng kwarto ko at sumigaw,
"Coming!"
