Is This Love? - Her Version (Part V)

"ALMOST"

She turned to her right
Still a huge crowd
Rolled her eyes left and right
Until they were locked inside.

She arrived at home
With a saddened heart
But the glow in her face
Oh! More stunningly sexy.

After few minutes
Her sister invited her
To their usual routine
Chatting and Internet surfing.

She shouted a big YES
Then moved fast to her room
Got her red wallet
And brought few Peso bills.

As soon as she got her seat number
She clicked the internet tab
The connection was fast
She was so delighted.

Her sister suddenly whispered
With a soft and sweet voice
“Take your time sis
Coz I’m not in a hurry.”

She wanted to be quiet
But she was so excited
“Oh sure” she answered
With massive gusto.

She checked her FB quickly
And noticed two notifications
A tagged old photo
And a butterfly from a Don.

She remembered the invitation
About two months ago
She visited it again
And finally clicked “Accept.”

Since he was also online
She decided to drop a message
She said a simple “Hi”
And patiently waited for his reply.

Is This Love? - Her Version (Part IV)

“SURPRISE”

First thing in the morning

And the last thing at night

A debonair would pop up in her psyche

Then ask the question "Why?".

But days and months passed by

Still no trace of the guy

With macho guapito look

And every woman’s ultimate desire.

Since nothing has changed

She decided to just forget

Although cupid hit her heart

Her craziness has to stop.

But just when she’s ready to move on

Her sister chanced upon an old friend

And said “the guy I’ve been telling you

Was just few meters away."

At the back of her mind

"Oh! I know him too

He's the guy I was telling you

That turned me so red."

The air-conditioned train arrived

The passengers started pushing
In a blink of an eye

They were already inside.

Is This Love? - Her Version (Part III)

"PLEAD"

Although she just ate a fiesta meal
Her stomach still seemed so empty
In her mind she kept on asking
“Why is this happening?”

Even in the midst of confusion
She told her sibling
“Wait for me downstairs
I’ll be there in a jiffy.”

The two got separated
When she was assigned in no. 3
And the other was in no. 7
There was no way one can peek.

As expected she opened her Facebook
And saw 1 friend request
She scrutinized the wall, info and photo
Oh, a stranger indeed!

She examined the News Feed
From top to bottom page
And then she pressed two buttons:
Account and Logout.

When they got home
She remembered the guy
Took an audible breath and said
“Erase! Erase! Erase!”

And so she lay in her pink bed
Prayed really really hard
“Bro, I know you have a plan
Your will be done"

Is This Love? - Her Version (Part II)

"CHANCE"

It’s 9 o’clock in the evening
Her favorite dish was still hot and smoking
But she walked straight to her bedroom
As if she didn’t hear her tummy rumbling.

She looked at the clock
It’s time for her favorite soap opera
Luckily she arrived just on time
Because every episode matters.

Three knocks from her beloved father
And a saccharine reminder
“Honey, I prepared a square meal
Because I know you are dog-tired.”

She got her plate and put it inside
Savored her preferred meal
In front of a romantic scene
So steamingly hot.

But in every commercial gap
Her world would stop for a moment
The guy who was standing beside her
Couldn’t get off her mind.

Forty five minutes later
The OST played again
Her favorite drama was over
Yet consciously unconscious.

Her cellphone beeped twice
So loud she was awakened
It was her sibling inviting her
To the internet cafe nearby.
