Maganda ang weather today, kaya naman, inimbitahan ni Narda si Leslie na pumunta sa condo nya. Umoo si Leslie at natuwa naman si Narda.
"Regina, may bisita ka ba mamaya?" Tanong ni Narda dito.
"Wala naman, why?"
"Pupunta si Leslie." Excited na sabi ni Narda.
"K." Wala sa mood na sabi ni Regina.
Nagluto na si Narda ng pagkain nila at pagkatapos nun ay naligo na sya. Para fresh.
Pagkatapos nyang maligo ay naghintay sya ng ilang samdali at nang marinig na nya ang doorbell, alam nyang si Leslie na yon.
"Leslie!" Masayang sabi nya at nagyakapan sila.
Napatingin naman si Regina sa kanila at umirap lang.
"Pasok ka." Sabi ni Narda at pumasok na nga si Leslie. Umupo ito sa sofa, habang si Narda naman ay kumuha ng tubig.
"Ang sweet mo naman pogi." Leslie said.
Napatawa naman si Narda dito. "Syempre naman, ano ba ako lang to oh."
"Oo nga noh? Akala ko ikaw si.."
Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Narda. "Sino?"
"Secret."
"Para namang sira eh. Sino nga?" Takang tanong ni Narda.
"Hindi ko sasabihin, secret to ni Victoria."
"Tama ka na, Leslie." Umiiling na sabi ni Narda habang si Leslie naman ay tawang tawa.
Bigla namang tumayo si Leslie para ilagay ang baso sa lababo, nakita nilang tumingin si Regina, kaya naman pagtingin nila sa isa't isa ay alam na nila ang gagawin nila.
Pagbalik ni Leslie ay niyakap sya agad ni Narda sa waist. Tumingin si Narda dito at pinaupo ito sa lap nya, tsaka ulit niyakap si Leslie.
Nakaramdam nanaman ng kakaiba si Regina. Kaya naman umiwas sya agad ng tingin at umubo ng malakas.
Natigilan naman ang dalawa at umalis na si Leslie sa lap nya. Kinindatan naman ni Narda ito at napa-iling nalang ito.

"Kumain ka na ba?" Tanong ni Narda kay Leslie.
"Hindi pa nga eh."
"Oh, tara na kain na!" Sabi ni Narda at lumapit kay Regina.
Bumibilis nanaman ang tibok ng puso nya habang sya ay papalapit.
"Regina? Kain na tayo?" Malambing na sabi ni Narda.
"I don't want to eat."
"Eh? Bakit?" Takang tanong ni Narda.
"Wala akong gana, kaya you two, just eat." Naiinis na sagot ni Regina.
Napabuntong hininga nalang si Narda at kiniss ang ulo ni Regina.
Medyo napangiti naman si Regina pero hindi nya ito pinakita kay Narda at nagcellphone nalang.
Narinig nya ang mga kalampag ng plato, kutsara at tinidor ibig sabihin ay kumakain na ang mga ito.
"Ang ganda mo naman kumain, how to be you?" Tanong ni Narda kay Leslie.
"How to be me? A-ah just eat." Sabi ni Leslie sabay tawa. "Wag ka nga maingay Gusion, barilin kita dyan ng armalite."
"Aba may itak naman ako."
"Edi wow nalang." Sabi ni Leslie at umirap.
"Can't they just talk quietly?" Bulong ni Regina at umirap. Naiinis sya sa dalawa dahil ang landi daw ng boses ni Leslie.
"Hala ang sarap mo pala ang luto." Gulat na sabi ni Leslie.
"Syempre, may secret ingredient yan."
"Ano naman?" Tanong ni Leslie.
"Secret nga diba, pag sinabi ko di na secret."
"Oo nga naman, bonak talaga." Sabi ni Leslie sabay tawa silang dalawa.
Natapos na silang kumain at sinabi ni Leslie kay Narda na sya nalang ang maghuhugas at suyuin nalang si Regina.
"Dali lakad na, ako nang bahala."
"Hindi pwede, bisita ka no!" Sagot ni Narda.
"Bahala ka nga."
Umupo nalang si Leslie sa sofa dahil wala syang magawa dahil mapilit rin si Narda. Ang sofa ni Narda ay medyo malapit lang sa higaan kaya naman medyo magkalapit lang si Leslie at Regina.

Tahimik lang naman si Regina sa kama habang nagce-cellphone, kaya naman nagcellphone nalang din si Leslie at nagtiktok.
Maya maya lang ay natapos na sa paghuhugas si Narda, at tinabihan nya si Leslie. Pag-upo nya ay nagpaalam si Leslie na iihi lang pagkatapos ay kumindat ito. At dahil wala pa si Leslie ay tumabi muna si Narda kay Regina.
"Regina." Malambing na tawag nya at niyakap ito, pero hindi sumasagot si Regina. "Busy ka?"
"No."
"Ayaw mo pang kumain?" Tanong ni Narda.
"I don't want."
"Sayang naman niluto ko." Narda sadly said.
"Niluto mo yun para sa kanya diba? Why are you being sad? You should be happy." Medyo naiinis na sagot ni Regina.
"Niluto ko yun para satin, Regina." Sagot ni Narda.
Lumabas na ng cr si Leslie at tinignan nya ito ng malungkot. Naintindihan naman agad ni Leslie ang nangyayari kaya nagaya syang lumabas.
"Regina, alis muna kami."
"Go."
Paglabas nila ay agad na ikinuwento ni Narda ang nangyari. Naisip ni Leslie ay nagtatampo ito, oh di kaya ay wala lang sa mood.
"Ano bang favorite nyang pagkain?" Tanong ni Leslie kay Narda.
"Pizza tapos minsan ice cream kapag trip nya."
Pagbukas naman ni Leslie ng instagram nya ay nakita nya ang story ni Regina. Hindi nya ito vinew since makikita iyon ni Regina, kaya naman tinignan nyang mabuti ang story nito.
"Huy bakla! Tignan mo, nakalagay sa story nya, Craving for Pizza and Ice cream so bad. Bakla ka, bilhan mo samahan kita."
Npangiti naman agad si Narda. "Oo nga noh! Tara na bilis."
Bumili muna sila ng pizza at sunod ay pumunta na ng seven eleven para bumili ng ice cream na gusto nya.
"Uy chocolate oh." Turo ni Narda.
"Idagdag mo na bakla, para naman ngumiti na sayo."
Tumango naman si Narda at bumili ng chocolate. Sinabihan sya ni Leslie na uuwi na sya pagkatapos magbayad, kaya naman hinatid nya ito at nagpasalamat rito.
Pagbukas nya ng pinto ay nakita nya si Regina na nakahiga. Dahan dahan syang pumasok at inilagay sa lamesa ang pizza samantalang nilagay nya naman sa ref ang ice cream, bago tumabi kay Regina.
"Galit ka ba sakin?" Tanong ni Narda dito.
"No, why would I?"
"Parang galit ka eh"
Humarap naman si Regina sa kanya. "I would never be mad at you, maybe naiinis pero galit hindi."
"So naiinis ka?"
"Sayo? No."
"Sure ka ba?"
Tumango naman si Regina at medyo ngumiti.
"Halika na, kain na tayo. Bumili ako ng pizza at ice cream." Nakangiting sabi ni Narda at nakita nyang nagningning ang mga mata ni Regina.
"Really?"
"Oo, kaya tayo kana dyan."
Tumayo naman agad si Regina at nakita nga ang pizza sa lamesa. Binuksan nya naman ang freezer at nakita nya ang ice cream.
Tumakbo naman sya kay Narda at niyakap ito. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!!" Sabay halik nito sa pisngi.
"You're always welcome, now go eat. Alam ko gutom kana." Masayang sabi ni Narda habang ang tibok ng kanyang puso ay sobrang bilis at parang sasabog na.
Another pictures are uploaded on Regina's instagram with the caption,
"Ang cravings ko for today ay binili ni bebe girl."
