Saturday Experience

It was Saturday, June 19, 2010. My mom asked me to accompany her to go to Divisoria to buy some things. I was not that busy that time so I’ve decided to go. We fetch my aunt and cousin at Mc Donald’s Gateway. Then off we go to my godmother’s condo unit at Boni Avenue to get the tenant’s payment for the said room. I really love to go there for it was a nice place. :D I want to buy or own a condo unit sometime – hopefully in the near future. The place is near Robinson’s Pioneer. After that we go to Divisoria already. We roam around the different malls and buy things. The prices were so low that’s why I bought several things for myself. It’s affordable by many than the ones in the malls. The only difference is that the things you buy there is not that branded but the prices are low so you can buy many things. And you can make “TAWAD” unlike in the malls. :)) We were all so tired but it is fulfilling for we have bought all the things that they needed.

Then after that we decided to go to Mc Donald’s Gateway again to eat dinner. As we arrived, my mom and aunt asked me to order foods that would be eaten later for they will be buying groceries at Isetann. As I was on the line, I saw this guy; he was quite handsome, fair complexion, not that tall and he was wearing a pink t – shirt that says “Love is Rare.” I don’t know why that guy catches my attention, I stare him for quite long and then I realized that I would be the one to make an order. I don’t know if he caught me looking at him. I hope not. :)) ‘cause if he does, oh no! It’s embarrassing.

I only ordered French fries, hamburger and coke float for myself for I was not that hungry. As I get back on our table, I take a look at the guy and I saw him glance at my direction. I was quite shocked so I turned my back on him and act like I saw nothing. As I was eating, I saw him glancing and staring at our direction. I asked my cousin to block his direction and sit in front of me. Then I continue eating. As I finished, my mom and aunt arrived and they bought us an ice cream. As I finished licking the ice cream, I felt the urge to urinate. I get up on my chair and went in front of the comfort room. The comfort room there is for both boys and girls so I have to fall in line. I was the first one so it means I don’t have to wait that long. Beside it, there’s a big mirror. As I was about to glance where my mom was sitting, I saw him – the guy at my back. I was shocked again for he was there less than a minute. While waiting, I’ve decided to fix my hair and face the mirror. As I was fixing my hair, he quickly gets his phone and took a shot of me. I know it was me for he quickly keep his phone in his pocket and say “Yes!” That’s so irritating. I said to him face to face “Epal ka.” Then turn my back on him…again. I heard him utter words but I don’t really understand what it was. Then I saw my aunt beside me and asked me if she can void first. Without hesitancy, I frankly said, “Sige tita, una ka na po.” I hear him say, “Naiihi na ko.” I face him and say, “Gusto mu sunod ka na sa tita ko? Sige ikaw na mauna.” He nod and say, “Hindi, sunod nalang ako sayo.” Then he smiles. He hum a song but I already forgot what song is it. As I went to the CR, I was looking at him while closing the door. He is smiling at me. I think he’s mentally retarded. I’m pissed off. “Parang nang – aasar yung ngiti, kainis.” I said to myself and shut the door closed. As I open the door, he murmur words again, but I don’t understand it. ‘Dinedma ko nalang.’ As I return to my seat, my mom was fixing the things we bought for it was to be brought in our province. Then we decided to accompany my aunt and cousin in Baliwag terminal where they will ride a bus to get in Nueva Ecija. Then we went home. As I was about to sleep, I remember the guy that I saw a while ago. I’m asking myself if I knew him already but nothing reminds me of him. Then I’ve decided to erase him on my mind and fell asleep.

In the past days, I do think of what an experience it was. I usually smile when I remember him.
