I spotted you

You arrived. I saw you from the corner of my eye. I suddenly became so chatty. But you were with a girl. I could feel myself feeling downcast. The night wore on. The host thought of an ingenious way to bring you near me - a selfie with his wife who was beside me. And suddenly you were beside me. I could feel my heart thump. I could hear a pin drop in my head. I could not really recall what words were uttered but we were finally introduced. I was sitting down on a chair. And you approached me extended your hand and made beso. I couldn’t really think straight. I suddenly muttered you should congratulate him. He won an award. He corrected me by saying the book won. He was right. And that ended the convo. I ended up talking to his companion who was quite nice while he talked to Elbert. The evening ended with them rushing out since he needed to catch the MRT to go to the studio. He had to pinch hit for someone who was sick. He picked up his bag which was so full of stuff and told him Buong buhay mo ata nandyan. And he laughed. He got some of kutsinta on a plate and put it before us. Before they left, we talked about a Japanese bank and the controls they had on my company. And so they left. I sent him an FB message saying I was glad to finally meet up with him and hope he gets to the studio on time. He said likewise and hopefully longer next time. How I wish that would come true.
