Just when I thought I won't be seeing you yesterday, fate takes me by surprise. I decided to drink two bottles of beer before training as I was waiting for my classmate to arrive from their ward work. Upon parking at the drinking place, I took my wallet and my cell phone. Walking towards the area, I was looking for a good table to settle in with my other classmate. Suddenly out of nowhere, I see you. I wrinkle my forehead in doubt surprised to see you were there. You do the same. As I settle at one of the tables outside, you grab a chair from your table and bring it over to ours and sit down in front of me. You were holding a lit cigarette which triggered me to smoke.

"Bawal yan ah."

"Hinde. Private area naman 'to."

"Ahh... Dala ko ice blast!!! Naiwan ko sa kotse. Kukunin ko lang."

You told me you lost the pack which contained the cigarettes I shared with you. I faked disappointment and said that those cigarettes were precious. We smokers should know. As I lit my cigarette using yours, you asked for a stick. I said "sure". You opened the pack and then found out that the last stick is my wish stick. You wanted to return it out of considerations since we smokers should know. I said it's fine since I already bit the filter of the stick in my mouth.

You said that you were just gonna wish the wish for me. And so you asked me, "Ano ba wish mo?"

My world paused for a moment. There was internal silence. I had to think fast and give a casual excuse. Thank God for my swift reasoning and awesome brain.

My persona said "Kung sasabihin ko sayo wish ko, eh di 'di na siya magkakatotoo." but the real me said "Ikaw."

Haha! Malanding banat. Or maybe I should've just jokingly said the truth. :> Either way, you stayed in our table for the most part that you were there until you had to go back and study in the library. Crazy boy makes crazy girl feel good.
