-recap-

Then afterwards kim kept thinking why she thought she saw Gerald a while ago.

Kim: (thinking) anu ba ito, bakit ko naman kasi napag kamalan na si Gerald yung lalaki kanina? Buti na lang lumingon yung mama hay

Their day ended up great, laughing, telling stories, joking around and shopping. But most of all they were all happy because Kim was fine.

-end of recap-

It was already Monday, Kim surprisingly got up early. Her mother and father were both amazed at how early she got up without the need of waking her up. Even she herself was shocked.

Celine: oh, bakit parang ang aga mo atang magising? Anong meron?

Frank: (looks at the clock and saw that kim was 30 minutes early) teka, sha nga ano, look at the clock your 30 minutes early. May balak ka pa bang puntahan bago ka pumasok ng school or may gagawin ka pa bang importante?

Kim: Good morning din po ha. (she sarcastically said) Naku, wala po akong pupuntahan and to assure you wala po akong nakalimutang gawin. Hindi ko nga din po alam kung bakit an gaga ko nagising, eh late naman nap o akong natulog.

Celine: baka naman excited ka? (with a naughty smile on her face)

Kim: (confused) Huh!? Mama, excited for what?

Celing: eh di excited na Makita yung boy na nakadate mo nung Saturday.

Kim: (shocked) naku mama hindi din, yuck ha, saka may pangalan po yung boy nay un, and to correct you hindi ko siya ka date. Diba inexplain ko na sainyo yun.

Frank: (with a serious face) naku celine, tigilan mo na yang anak mo, kung sabi niya na hindi siya excited makita yung Gerald bay un? Meaning hindi siya excited.

Celine: sus, ayaw mo lang tanggapin na may lalaking umaaligid na diyan sa anak mo. (laughs)

Kim: Naku itong si mama niloloko na naman si dadi. Pero to clear things out, hindi talaga ako excited Makita yung taong yun, saka friends lang kami nun ok, so no need to worry.

Frank: naku kayong dalawa, kumain na nga lang kayo nang matapos na tayo.

Celine: if I know ayaw mo lang talagang pag usapan ang boys. (laughs)

The Chiu’s had a wonderful breakfast with laughs surrounding them. After preaparing, Frank brought Kim to school where Kim would meet her barkada.

On Gerald’s side

Gerald woke up earlier than the ring of his alarm clock. As soon as he fixed himself up, he went down to their dining room to eat breakfast.

Gerald: Good morning Mang Cardo. Saluhan niyo nap o ako sa pag kain.

Mang Cardo: naku Ge ayos na ako, nakakain na ako bago ka pa magising. Intayin na lang kitang matapos.

Gerald: sige suit yourself.

Mang Cardo: Teka lang Ge, parang may kakaiba sa iyo ah.

Gerald: (confused) Huh?! Kakaiba? Anu poi big niyo sabihin?

Mang Cardo: Tingnan mo yung orasan, ang aga pa kumpara dun sa normal mong gising.

Gerald: Ah ganun po ba, hindi ko nga po alam kung bakit e, basta nagising na lang ako.

Gerald was also wondering why he was up so early. Then he asked Mang Cardo something.

Gerald: Mang Cardo, naramdaman niyo nap o ba yung feeling na parang mai gustong kang Makita pero di mu alam kung ano?

Mang Cardo: Teka, san naman nanggaling yang tanung nay an?

Gerald: Eh kasi po, yan po yung naramdaman ko nung nagising ako kanina.

Mang Cardo: ahh ganun ba. Well, ang sagot ko dun sa tanong mo ay, oo.

Gerald: ano po ang nangyari?

Mang Cardo: Naramdaman ko yun nung napalayo ako dun sa mahal ko, matagal ko na siyang hindi nakikita nung mga panahong iyon, na miss kumbaga.

Gerald got even more confused than before.

Gerald: (thinking) huh?! Kung ganun yun, sino naman yung gusto kong Makita na miss ko na? Siguro sina ma at pa lang yun. Makikita ko din naman sila mamaya e, webcam nga lang. Naku hayaan ko na nga, wala lang siguro ito.

Mang Cardo: Kung ganun yung feeling mo kanina, sino naman yung gusto mo Makita?

Gerald: aba malay ko.

Mang Cardo: Siguro yung girl na kasama mo nung Saturday no, yung gusto mong samahan pauwi kahit na malayo bahay mo sa bahay nila, yung kunwari on the way yung bahay mo kahit hindi naman makasabay mo lang siya.

Gerald: okay I get it, gets ko na kung sino yung tinutukoy mo, pero si kim? Bakit ko naman mamimiss si kim? Eh kakikita ko lang sa kanya? Saka friends lang kami nun no, no more than that.

Mang Cardo: Sige, payag na ako, kunwari friends lang kayo. (laughs)

Gerald: naku Mang Cardo hindi porke napaagap ako ng gising eh pwede na ako magtagal kumain, kaya tigilan niyo na ako para matapos na ako, sige kayo pag ako nalate.

Mang Cardo: ai sige, kumain ka na dian titigilan na kita, tawagin mo na lang ako pag mag papahatid ka na ha. (Leaves with a smirk on his face)

Kim is already at school, then just coincidence, while she was entering the campus gate Gerald  came in too. Gerald noticed Kim first, so he greeted kim.

Gerald: Kim! (tapping Kim’s shoulder)

Kim: (looked at the person who tapped her shoulders and called her name) oh Gerald ikaw pala yan. Ang aga mo atang pumasok? Diba usually you come in saktong bell na…

Gerald: Good Morning Din HA… (laughs) hindi naman lagi, saka pano mo naman nasabi na ganung oras ako napasok? Bakit? Lagi mo akong inaabangan no? no?

Kim: ui, kapal mo naman. (playfully hits gerald’s arm) excuse me hindi kita type, saka napansin ko lang naman yun. Dba nga ang tambayan ng barkada ko ay malapit sa may gate, so nakikita ko ikaw pag napasok ka. Kaya wag kang feeling. (laughs)

Gerald: bakit napaka defending mo naman? Joke lang naman yun, saka hindi rin kita type. Ang type ko yung hindi Payatot… (touching kim’s arms then laughs)

Kim: ikaw ha, niloloko mo na naman ako. And For your information, hindi ako Payatot, slim lang. (laughs)

Both kim and Gerald laughed so hard not remembering that they are still by the gate. So the guard broke their laughs.

Guard: Kim, Gerald, alam kong nagkakasayahan kayo diyan, pero nakahara kayo sa daan e. Kaya I hate to break your happy moment but kelangan ninyo ng tumabi. (smiling)

Kim: ai sorry po Mang Jojo.

Gerald: sorry po, nagkakatuwaan lang po kaya hindi  na naming namalayang nakahara po kami, sorry po talaga.

Mang Jojo: naku okay lang yun, basta kayo ay pumasok na at nang hindi kayo nakahara.

Kim and Gerald: Sige po, salamat din po.

Kim and Gerald headed off to their lockers then, they went to the barkada’s hangout place. While on the way Gerald asked Kim if it was just fine if he would come along with Kim at the hangout place, remembering that maybe her barkada is still mad at him.

Gerald: Kim, okay lang ba na sumama ako sa iyo sa tambayan ninyo? Galit pa ata sa akin yung barkada mo eh, baka kung ano gawin sa akin nung mga yun.

Kim: naku, wag ka mag alala. Hindi ka sasaktan nung mga yun. Saka diba friends na tayo kaya okay lang yun sa kanila. I will just explain it to them later ok. (smiles)

Gerald: sige sabi mo yan ha. Kaw bahala sa akin. Protect me from your fearsome barkada. (laughs)

Kim: ikaw, pag narinig ka nung mga yun hindi ko alam kung maproprotect pa kita. (laughs) teka, hindi ka kaya hanapin nung barkada mo?

Gerald: sino? Sina enchong at matt? Hindi no. They may not even notice that I am not around.

Kim: ok. Sabi mo yan ha.

While kim and Gerald are talking, kim’s barkada noticed them getting near and also, they noticed that kim and Gerald are having a great time talking with each other and laughing, as if they are the only people in the world. So, they were curious.

Empress: teka, si ate kimmy ba yun?

Maja: huh?! Uo nga ano. Sino yung kasama niya? Lalaki ba yun?

Beauty: Weh?!  May kasamang lalaki si Kim? Di nga?

Maja: uo man, may kasamang lalaki nga. Tawanang tawanan pa nga sila eh.

Erich: ang weird naman. Si kim may kasamang lalaki. Eh diba hindi yun nagsasama masyado sa mga lalaki. Not unless they are close.

Mel: malay naman natin new found  friend diba. Saka, wala namang masama na sumama si best friend sa lalaki. Its about time na mag karoon siya ng close friend na lalaki para naman lumawak ang circle of friends niya. And also before naman mga lalaki ang kalaro niya diba.

Beauty: sabagay, you have a point. Eh sino ba kasi yung lalaking kasama niya? 

So everyone tried to see if who the mysterious boy that Kim was with. When they finally recognized the face of the boy, every one of them was shocked. It was no other than Gerald Anderson himself, the boy that made Kim walk out from the mall.

Erich: What the?! Si Gerald?!

Maja: what is he doing with our Kim? Baka naman he would make her upset again. Aba I will not let that thing happen again. Bugbugin ko siya e.

Mel: teka lang ha… (trying to make every one calm) Chill guys. Wag nating gayahin yung mistake na ginawa ni Gerald sa mall ok. Let’s not jump to conclusions.

Beauty: tama si Mel. Let’s try to talk to them first before we do something irrational. Baka naman si Gerald ang mag walk out.

So the barkada went to where Kim and Gerald was.

Kim and Gerald were both surprised when Kim’s barkada approached them.

Kim: (mumbling) ano kaya meron? Bakit pa kaya sila lumapit? Siguro may sasabihing importante.

Gerald: Kim, may sinasabi ka ba?

Kim: ahh wala, nagtataka lang ako kung bakit papunta ditto sina mel.

Gerald: same here. Im wondering why they going here instead of us going there.  (thinking) shoot, I’m so doomed. What would they do to me? I hope nothing bad.

Kim saw how nervous Gerald was so she tried to calm him down.

Kim: Gerald, you nervous?

Gerald: No! Why did you ask?

Kim: Don’t lie to me. I can see it in your face, your nervous. Relax, okay. They wouldn’t do anything bad to you. Promise. I got your back.

Gerald: Kim, don’t worry about me. I know your friends wouldn’t hurt me. Saka tatago na lang ako sa likod mo if ever sasaktan nga nila ako. (laughs)

While Kim and Gerald were both laughing Kim’s barkada came.
