“Red, could you get that bag of cornick, thanks.”
He grabbed it from the shelf and placed it on the grocery cart. Red wondered why Leni kept on stacking packs of dried mangoes and hopia when her mom just asked them to buy fresh milk and sugar. She explained to him that she would give them to Aldo as a pasalubong to his relatives in Vienna. To mask his jealousy, he added packs of pancit canton and a bottle of soy sauce.
“These items would be expensive if they would buy them there.”
“Thanks, Red. By the way, I’m going to meet with him the week after this.”
“Okay. Leni, my parent’s silver anniversary would be this coming Saturday, I want you to come with me. I’ll introduce you to them.”
Leni couldn’t believe with what she heard.
“Are you serious?”
“Mukha ba akong nagbibiro?”
Red smiled. Without saying a word, she wrapped her arms around him. They caught the attention of the shoppers inside the grocery. A gay man walked near them, clapped his hands and exclaimed.
“Magaling! Magaling! How sweet?! Gusto niyo ba ng chicharon at lobo? Para kayong nasa Luneta, Mag PDA daw bas a grocery?! Ang ‘chaka’ niyo ha.”
Upon recognizing a familiar voice, Leni removed her arms and turned around. It was their former professor.
“Sir, kumusta na kayo?”
“Okay naman, eto bongga pa rin. Kayo na pala ulit.”
“Opo kami na po ulit ni Leni.”
“Napaka-husay, sana kayo na ang magka-tuluyan. Isang athlete at theater girl, perfect combination. Basta kung kailangan niyo ng emcee slash entertainer sa kasal niyo, mura lang ang raket ko.”
Leni and Red laughed at their professor’s antic.
