The shared umbrella story.

It's a typical Friday night for me and I am going home from my work. As usual every Friday , for sure I will be facing a hard time commuting again. I am working in Makati and my route going to our house it through riding a jeepney in Magallanes to FTI. I dont have any idea that during that night there's something that will happened unexpectedly and going to he a part of my memories. I was waiting for a long time standing in Magallanes together with other commuters because it's hard to ride on a jeep every Friday. There's a lot of jeep on the road but it's all full. I am waiting for about an hour and I decided to walk form Magallanes to Evangelista but when I reach Evangelista Street , the situation is the same. Since I already walk a long way I decided to walk again going to Malibay and wait for jeepney there. I reached Malibay and wait there but there's no jeep still until the rain pours while I am waiting. Gladly I have an umbrella in my bag and I get it. I noticed a guy who was only wearing a hoodie beside me and I offer my umbrella to him and he accept my offer. I know it's kinda flirt act but it's not my intention that time but I admit that guy that time is looking good haha. We shared an umbrella together and because of that we started to talk about having a hard time commuting. We talked about where I have been and also him and I find out that he is a Nautical Student in PMI and he is also a working student. I told him that I am already working and I have been waiting in Magallanes and walk up to Malibay. We decided to walk up to Pasay Rotonda because we can't able to find a jeep with a vacant seat that time. I we were walking , it's feels like I am so comfortable to him. He's very gentleman and he protected me by the people walking and the vehicles on the road. I know he's a stranger and it's not right to trust him but I did maybe because he's kind? I don't know. We have reached the Pasay Rotonda and form there we already found a jeep and finally we can go home. We have lot of stories while inside the jeep as if we know each other for a long time and I was carried away from our conversation to the point that I already put my hand on his lap. Minutes passed and I reached my dropping point and I told para to the jeepney driver. To my surprised he also go down on the jeep and walk with me. I thought he was living in FTI that's why I asked him why he also go down the jeep and I laugh because of his answer. I forgot something. I am wondering what it is and I told him what's that? He said I forgot to get your number. I am laughing after he said that but deep inside I am worried about my hair baka maapakan haha. So after I gave my number we already separated our ways and I recieved a miscall when I was on the tricycle. I know it's him because there's also a text message saying Macoy here. We started to text each other everyday and he always asked me if I am on my way home because he will wait for me but destiny didn't allow us to meet again. He invited me to go on Mall of Asia on weekdays and I said yes. We went to the church first to attend a mass then we went to Mall of Asia. We eat at Bonchon and he asked me if I want to watched a movie. I said yes to him because he to me it his treat. While we are on the cinema I never imagined that he will do something to me because like what I said I feel like he's kind but I am disappointed. I was shocked when he hold my hand and then kiss me. We didn't finished the movie and I asked him I will go home. He keeps on saying sorry to me and he asked me to please stay and explained himself. We go to the sea side and I give him time to explain himself. He said sorry to me and confess that he likes me that's why he do that thing. I just told him don't do it again and acted normally. We are on our way home when he hold my hand while waiting for the jeep until we go home. I let him do that for the last time because I don't have any plans on meeting him again. He keeps on texting me and calling me for the next days and I didn't answered it until he stopped doing it. Years passed , we meet again. We meet unexpectedly . I am on my way to Baclaran and he is going home on Taguig and that's an another story hehe.
