"Arki!"
Nagulat kami ni Tricia nang biglang may tumawag sa akin sa hallway. Agad na napabitaw si Tricia sa kamay ko. Pag lingon ko ay siya yung babae kanina na simp kay Ate Aiks.
"Hey, hello! Nandito ka na naman?" I greeted her.
"You know her?" Tricia asked.
"Uhuh, siya yung nag assist sakin sa room kanina," sagot ko. Tiningnan ko 'yong babae. "Sige na, oh batiin mo na. Nasa harap mo na,"
Lumapit siya sa akin at bumulong. "Nakakahiya, Arki okay lang po ba?"
I nodded at saka naman siya tuwang tuwa na lumapit kay Tricia.
"Ay, Ma'am ang ganda niyo po so much sa personal!" Puri niya. "Naguguluhan na po ako sa inyo ni Jill.. pero kay Ate Aiks pa rin po ako uuwi," she said and giggled na animo'y kinikilig.
"You're shy pa niyan ah," sabi ko at natawa sa kaniya.
"Arki, sabi mo nga po, nasa harap ko na! Sayang ang pagkakataon po!"
"Hello! Siguro kay Mama ka na lang para walang away," biro ni Tricia at natawa naman kami.
"Susunduin ko po sana kayo, nakaready na po kakainan niyo sa baba," aniya at tinuro pa yung kainan sa baba na kitang kita mula rito sa hagdan. "Pero pababa na rin po pala kayo, tara po!"
"Ang sigla niya, hindi maboboring ang guest sa kaniya," Tricia whispered habang nakasunod kami pababa ron sa babae.
"Ganun talaga, taga Batangas, e." pagyayabang ko.
"Wow, taga Batangas ka ba?"
"Hindi," sagot ko. "Pero si Inay taga rito, bakit ba? Noon madalas niya kami ipasyal dito,"
"Really? Ipasyal mo rin ako!"
Mukhang narinig 'yon nung babae kaya lumapit siya sa akin at bumulong.
"Arki, may magandang beach dito, tamang tama pang date niyo ni Doc Tricia," bulong niya at nagtaas taas pa ng kilay.
"Saan 'yon? Turo mo sakin mamaya,"
"Ano 'yon?" Tricia suddenly asked.
"Huh? Wala?"
"Wala, Doc!"
Nang sabay kaming sumagot nung babae ay pinaglipat lipat ni Tricia ang tingin niya sa amin. Siniko ko naman nang bahagya 'yong babae at nginitian niya lang ako, nagpipigil pa ng tawa bago tuluyang umuna sa amin.
"Close na kayo?"
"Huh?"
"Kayo nung girl, close na kayo agad?"
Natawa ako sa itsura niya, pilit niyang hindi pinapahalata na selos siya. "Are you selos, miss ma'am?"
"Excuse me? Ako? Selos?"
I nodded and I heard her scoffed. "Hindi, no! Why would I be selos? Hindi naman siya ang nagayos sayo kanin—"

"Grabe! Ang ganda rito, no? Grabe talaga!" pagputol ko sa sinasabi niya.
Tatawa tawa siyang umuna sa paglalakad at iniwan ako rito sa likod. Nakikipagkwentuhan siya ron sa babae kanina at mukhang tuwang tuwa at kilig naman 'yong isa.
I mean, sinong hindi kikiligin kung makakausap mo ang isang Tricia?
Kung ako nga, halos mag wala na deep inside kapag kausap at kasama ko siya. Paano pa 'yong mga taong minsan lang niya makausap at hinahangaan siya talaga?
Nang makababa kami ay sinalubong kami ng mga taong sumusuporta kay Tita. Agad nila kaming kinamayan at inanyayahan si Tricia na magsalita. Ako naman ay sinamahan lang nung staff na kanina pa naming kasama rito sa may likod.
"Hey," pagtawag ko sa kaniya. "What's your name? Ang hirap mo tawagin, e."
"Ay, oo nga po hindi niyo pa alam," sagot niya. "Keith po pangalan ko, Arki!"
"As in K A T E?"
"Hindi po, Arki K E I T H po,"
"I see," I said at tumango tango.
Habang nag sasalita si Tricia ay naisip kong ito na 'yong pagkakataon para matanong ko sa kaniya yung sinasabi niya kanina.
"Keith," tawag ko. Agad naman siyang lumingon sa akin. "The beach na sinasabi mo kanina, is it layo here?"
"Hala! Itutuloy n'yo po, Arki?"
"Shh, oo sana, pero satin lang muna,"
"Sige po! Support po!" aniya at kinuha 'yong cellphone niya. "Ito po, Arki," iniharap naman niya sa akin 'yon. "Malapit lang po 'yan, kung gusto niyo po puwedeng mauna na kayo ron tapos kami na lang po maghatid kay Ma'am Tricia,"
"That's a great idea, plano ko sana is after ng rally bukas para makapagrelax naman siya,"
"Dinner po, Arki?"
"Yes, is it possible na sa labas sana? Like sa harap ng dagat so that fresh air and you know very ganda and calming view. Let's just put candles as the ilaw,"
"Puwede naman po! Pili na lang po kayo ng kainan na gusto niyo tapos ako na po bahala makipagusap," siniko niya ako nang bahagya. "May kakilala ako ron, Arki kaya I gotchu,"
"Ang dami mo kakilala kahit saan 'no?"
Pansin ko kanina pa na ang dami laging bumabati sa kaniya at halos lahat ay kilala niya. Ngayon naman ay kahit sa ibang lugar may kilala rin siya.
"Kalat kasi po pamilya ko rito sa Batangas," she explained. "At medyo kilala rin po apelyido namin dito kaya ganun, pero hindi naman po kami sikat tulad n'yo,"
"I'm not famous also, si Tricia 'yon and her family,"
"Pero parte ka na rin po ng pamilya nila, Arki!"
Nang marinig ko 'yon ay agad akong napangiti. Oo nga, parte na ako ng pamilya nila.
"And I have here Architect Y/N with me today," Tricia suddenly said at tinuro ako. Agad akong tumayo at kumaway sa kanila. "Arki will be with me tomorrow sa rally since my sisters and Mama ay nasa ibang lugar,"

Nakarinig kami ng sigawan at asaran nang matapos niyang sabihin 'yon. Si Keith naman na katabi ko ay sinisiko pa ako.
She continued her speech at nakinig na lang kami ni Keith sa kaniya. Pasimple lang kaming nag plano at kinuha na rin namin ang number ng isa't isa para sa update ron sa surprise.
Nang matapos mag salita si Tricia ay agad ko siyang sinalubong ng yakap.
"You did well, Trish."
"Ang sweet!"
"Hala, sila ba? Akala ko si Arki saka si Jill?"
"Ang cutie naman!"
Naririnig namin ang chismisan nung ibang staff at natawa naman kami ni Tricia nang biglang umawat si Keith.
"Okay, tama na yan! 'Wag tayo mag assume ng bagay bagay. Sabi nga diba don't assume unless otherwise stated!" saway niya. "Sige na, ron kayo asikasuhin niyo yung mga kumukuha ng pagkain,"
Lumapit siya sa amin matapos paalisin 'yong iba. "Ang hirap n'yo pagtakpan, Arki pero okay lang kasi mahal ko naman si Ma'am Aika,"
"Anong connect ni Ate Aiks dito?" Tanong ni Tricia at natawa.
Napakamot naman si Keith sa ulo. "Wala, Doc naalala ko lang siya and gusto ko banggitin," sagot niya at kinikilig kilig pa.
"You like Ate Aiks so much," asar ko. "Paano kung may manliligaw na 'yon?"
"Hay nako, Arki hindi mo ba alam ang kasabihan?" nag face palm pa siya. "Habang may buhay, may pag asa!"
"Weak ka pala, e hindi mo alam 'yon!" asar naman ni Tricia sa akin.
Sinamaan ko lang siya ng tingin at tinawanan lang nila ako ni Keith. Magkaakbay silang umalis sa tabi ko at nag punta ron sa pagkain.
Agad naman akong sumunod sa kanila. Bago pa ako makarating doon ay madaming tao ang nakasalubong ko at nakachismisan saglit. Nakakahiya naman iwan sila bigla dahil sila rin naman ang unang bumabati.
"Honestly, Arki naninibago ako," one of the girls na bumati sa akin said.
I gave her a confused look.
"Sanay kami na si Jill ang kasama mo lagi, kaya nakakapanibago na si Doc Tricia ang kasama mo, right girls?" tanong niya pa ron sa dalawang kasama niya.
Agad naman silang tumango at natawa na lang ako. "Jill is with her Mama naman, and Tita asked me for this personal favor, I can't and I don't want to say no,"
"You're really an ideal jowa," sabi naman nung isa.
"Hala, sumisimple siya sayo, Arki!" asar nung isa pa nilang kasama.
"Crush ka niyan kasi, Arki matagal na,"
Agad naman siyang hinampas nung inaasar nila na babae. Patuloy silang nag asaran at ako ay nakatayo lang dito at hindi malaman kung anong sasabihin.
"May question po kami,"
"What is it?" I curiously asked.
"Are you single raw po ba? If yes, puwede raw po ba mag apply?"
Natawa naman ako sa kakulitan nila and was about to answer them when Keith suddenly talked. Nandito na siya sa tabi ko bigla.
"Girls, you can get food po there, kanina pa po kayo rito baka gutom na po kayo, sige na po kuha na po kayo ron!"
Sumunod naman 'yong mga babae sa sinabi ni Keith at bago pa makalampas yung isa sa kaniya ay bumulong ito.
"Keith, lakad mo naman ako kay Arki,"
Tumawa lang si Keith at itinuro lang 'yong mga pagkain.
"Thanks for that, mukhang wala sila balak paalisin ako," I thanked her for saving me.
"No problem, Arki! Nautusan lang din,"
"Huh?"
"Ah, wala po! Sabi ko po tara na ron sa table! Kinuhaan na rin po kayo ni Doc ng pagkain,"
Nang makarating kami ron sa table ay nginitian ko si Tricia bago naupo sa tabi niya.
"Akala ko ay doon ka na kakain," she suddenly said.
"Magpapaalam na nga sana ako pero buti dumating na rin 'tong si Keith,"
Tumango tango lang siya.
"Nako, Doc narinig ko nga po e tinatanong pa 'tong si Arki kung single raw po," sumbong ni Keith.
Napansin kong kumunot ang noo niya pero nag tuloy pa rin sa pagkain.
Lumapit ako sa kaniya at bumulong.
"You're the only one I want," I said. "And just so you know, I'm not considering myself single anymore," I looked at her and she did the same. "I have you now."
I saw her smiled nang marinig ang sinabi ko. I gently rubbed her hands sa ilalim ng lamesa and Keith poked my shoulders.
"Kita ko 'yon, ah!"
"Ang alin?"
"Sus, sa akin niyo pa po tinago, ah!"
"Just eat," sabi ko at natawa kami pareho.
We were peacefully eating nang biglang nagsalita 'yong katable namin na mukhang stock holders ng hotel na 'to.
"Doc Tricia, would you mind if I ask about something?"
"Sure, Sir ano po 'yon?"
"You had an accident few years ago, right? How are you now?"
"Yes, Sir thank you for asking. But, thankfully I'm doing good now," Tricia answered.
Patuloy lang kami sa pagkain habang nakikinig sa usapan nila.
"I heard dalawa 'yong laman ng kotse na nakabangga sayo, diba? Kumusta na kaya sila?"
"From what I know, one of them died and the other one wala na po akong balita," Tricia answered.
"Are you sure you're okay now? Mabuti ay nakakaya mo na ulit mag maneho,"
"I'm okay, Sir. But that doesn't mean na napatawad ko na 'yong dahilan kung bakit nangyari lahat 'yon," she said.
"But that was years ago?"
"They gave me trauma, at wala akong natanggap na sorry,"
"Paano po 'yon, Doc? Paano kung biglang sumulpot para mag sorry po?" Keith suddenly asked.
"Same question.. paano kung nagsisisi pala sila ngayon?" I asked.
"For now, I think.. ,"
