Leni sat beside the window, random thoughts ran through her mind. She remembered the time when Aldo took her to the bus terminal. She can’t help but smile. She was probably, falling for him, she just didn’t know.
It dawned to her that Aldo it would take someone special for him because he made a person realize that he or she is valued. Leni should know because this is what she experienced that summer. This is something that she still hopes to find in her relationship with Red.
“Why are you smiling?” Red asked.
“I just remembered my vacation here last summer.”
“Yeah, I know. Aldo and Mong told us about the play that you guys did. Nag-enjoy nga daw kayo.”
Red and Leni stood silent for a while. He stared at her while she glanced at the window. That bracelet that he gave her during college was still there. This assured him that she still loves him despite what he did to her in the past. Then, he knew that he shouldn’t let her go this time.
Adam broke in and offered them a bag of chips.
“Gusto niyo?”
“No, thanks.” Red replied.
“Guys, parang nakita ko minsan si Aldo sa university.”
“Oo, prof siya dun eh. Sa College of Education.” Leni said.
“Hindi dun sa coffee shop. Pero, hindi ako sure ah, isang beses ko lang naman na-encounter yung tao.”
Faith said,
“Baka nga kamukha lang.”
Leni was silent during the rest of the trip. Adam and Faith noticed something different with her.
“I notice something about Leni. Ikaw, may napapansin ka ba?” Adam asked Faith.
“Oo nga eh, Iba ngiti niya ngayon. Parang iba siya kumilos kanina kay Aldo, yung tipong masyadong natutuwa. Pero wag siguro natin bigyan ng kulay yun, kasi magkababata sila. At isa pa, ngayon lang natin si Aldo nakita.”
“Sa bagay, tama ka. Magsasabi naman si Leni sa atin eh. Natanong ko lang siguro kasi medyo nagseselos si Red kay Aldo.”
“Adam, takot lang siya na baka gawin din sa kanya ni Leni yung ginawa niya dati.”
“Faith, yan ka na naman eh. Baka mapa-away ka niyan ha.”
“Sorry, ayoko lang kasi makitang masaktan yung kaibigan natin. Yung histura niya kasi, parang natalo sa lotto.”
“Para kang sira, ginawa mo namang katatawanan si Leni.”
“Ang panget lang talaga.”
“O, tama na, baka marinig ka nila. Inaantok na ako, paki-gising na lang ako pag nasa Manila na tayo ha.”
While Adam was asleep, Faith kept glancing at her friend.
