so done

"Boss Win, may naka-appointment palang home service. Pero may sakit si Tomi," Yujin said. Napatingin naman sakanya si Winter. Wala naman siyang ginagawa. Busy ang talyer dahil hindi niya rin alam, basta busy.

Winter groaned. She never really like home service. Everyone, and she's not even exaggerating, flirted with her. Some only make an appointment to flirt with her. Kahit naman sobrang gusto niyang makilala ang love of her life, ayaw naman niya na dahil sa home service pa. Baka maging kabit lang siya nang hindi niya alam. 

"Fine, I'll do it. Ikaw na bahala sa talyer, Yuj." Tumayo si Winter at inilagay sa bag niya ang work clothes niya. She sighed. Bakit niya ba naisipang magtayo ng ganitong business?

Ano kayang ginagawa ni Karina ngayon? Speaking of, tatawag pa pala siya sa RadioLove sa Sabado. Sana may mahanap na siyang kalandian na pwede makwento kay Karina. 

She forgot to take the tall girl's number. Palagi kasing nagmamadali kapag nagkakasalubong sila. After seeing each other at the park, hindi na ulit sila nagkita. Baka busy. 

"Ingat Boss Win! Labyu!" Winter shook her head before entering her car. She drove to the adress, buti na lamang at hindi masyadong malayo. 

Nakarating siya sa tapat ng isang modern house sa bandang dulo ng village. Winter winced. She parked her car on the side before exiting. 

Kinuha niya sa trunk ang mga tools niya bago ayusin ang sarili. She rang the doorbell and stood up properly. After a minute or two, may lumabas na matangkad na babae. Her hair is brown and long. She's pretty, like so pretty. 

"Hi!" Nakangiting sabi ni Winter at kumaway. Okay, that was kind of not professional. Parang magtropa lang tuloy sila.  

"Hey. Are you the car mechanic?" Tanong ng babae. Winter nodded her head.

"Hi, I'm Winter. Si Hitomi dapat yung mag-aayos ng car mo, pero she's sick," Winter offered her hand. 

"Well, that's all right. You look kind naman. I am Yunjin pala," inabot ng babae ang kamay niya. They shook their hands while smiling foolishly at each other. Ang lambot ng kamay ni Yunjin. Parang nakahawak sa favorite unan niya si Winter. 

"So, where's the car?" She asked. 

Yunjin opened the gate wider to let the shorter girl in. Winter excused herself before going inside. Nakita niya agad ang sasakyan sa may garahe. 

"Is that it?" Yunjin nodded her head. Kinuha niya ang bag niya. 

"Yep. By the way, may gusto ka bang lunch? Papunta ako sa market kasi I thought about cooking for you as a thank you." Winter raised a brow playfully. Did this beautiful girl in front of her, really asked her what she wants for lunch? Lulutuan siya ni Yunjin?

"Uh, kahit ano na lang. You don't need to cook for me," sabi ni Winter. She lifted the hood of the car and inspected the parts. May jowa na kaya si Yunjin? Kung wala, ano kayang type niya? Straight ba siya or bakla rin katulad ni Winter?

"Nonsense! What do you want to eat ba?" Yunjin asked again. She leaned on the wall beside the car while looking at Winter who is busy inspecting her car. 

Winter looked back at her. There's something about Yunjin leaning on the wall that makes Winter's heart race faster than usual. 

Well, sue her. She might have found the love of her life. A story she would tell Karina, that's for sure. 

"Uh, adobo? Ano bang specialty mo? Surprise me, ganon." Nahihiyang sabi ni Winter at nag-iwas ng tingin. 

"Adobo it is. So, I'll leave for a while muna ha? Pero babalik agad ako. If you want something to drink, you can enter the house and get yourself a drink." Sabi ni Yunjin. 

Hindi pa nga sila, pero grabe na ang words of affirmation. Charot. 

Ang landi talaga ng kaluluwa ni Winter. Makakatikim na naman siya ng mahabang sermon kila Lia, at syempre kay Karina. 

"I-ingat Miss Yunjin," the taller girl snorted. 

"Call me Yunjin. Alis na ako ha?" Tumango na lamang si Winter at hinintay makaalis si Yunjin. 

It will take her hours to fix the car. It means she gets to get to know the owner better.

Parang ang landi naman na sa mga nagiging customers niya rin sa talyer ang nagiging at magiging kalandian niya. Baka mamisinterpret ng iba na nagtayo siya ng talyer para lumandi. 

Papayag kaya si Yunjin na mag-alaga ng turtle with her? 

Time flies fast. Before Winter knew it, Yunjin has already arrived and was back at home. 

"Oh, you're here! Let me help you with that," agad na pinunasan ni Winter ang kamay niya na puno na ng grease ng sasakyan. Itinaas niya ang sleeves ng suot niya at binuhat ang dalawang paper bag. Yunjin smiled gratefully. 

"Thanks, Winter. Can I call you Winter? Or do you want Terter?" Tanong ni Yunjin. Winter chuckled at her question.

"Whatever makes you feel comfortable, Jinjin." She joked. 

The taller girl looked at her with surprise. 

"Oh my! That's so cute! No one has ever given me a nickname before!" Ipinatong nila ang paper bag sa kitchen aisle ng bahay ni Yunjin. 

"Really? Wala ka bang naging boyfriend? Or girlfriend?" Tanong ni Winter. Bukod sa curious siya, interested talaga siya kay Yunjin.

What can she do? She's easily attracted and attached. Pero mabilis lang din siyang makamove on. She is called names, sure. Flirt, babaero, lahat na ata. But it's not like that. She just believes in love so much. 

"Jowa? No, wala naman. I mean, I did have flings, but they never gave me a cute nickname. It's actually a nice feeling to have someone do it," Yunjin explained. Winter nodded her head and shrugged. 

"Well, I should get back to my work." Sabi ni Winter at ngumiti. People often told her she has a  nice smile. 

"Sure thing. Tawagan kita kapag luto na lunch natin. Happy working, Winter." Yunjin said cheerfully. Napailing na lamang si Winter bago lumabas ng bahay. 

Pray for her flirty soul and a broken heart. Let this be her the one. 

And she should probably start apologizing to Karina. Because damn girl, she thinks she just met the love of her life.
