This happened yesterday and it's been stuck in my mind since and I just wanted to share it here lol. I (M26) was waiting for the next train inside sa Ortigas station around 5 pm so gets na it's rush hour and there's a long line forming already. Here arrives the train and people are all crammed inside na, nasa harap na ako ng pila and I know may space pa for me to squeeze in but I wasn't feeling like it so pinaubaya ko na sa taong nasa likod ko and waited for another one. While waiting, I just put on my favorite romcom playlist (that I carefully curated btw) para di ako mainip.

Kiss Me by Sixpence None The Richer was playing when the next train arrived and masikip pa rin sa loob. After maglabasan ng ibang passenger, I was pushed by people inside kasi siksikan na! Na-out of balance ako when a guy in front of me held my waist. The song stopped, I looked up and everything just stopped.

Oh my fucking God. He's the cutest guy I have ever seen. Chinito, around 5'10, and his perfume is Clinique Happy for Men so gets mabango siya. He asked me if I was okay, I just nodded and nag thank you. It was very awkward at first kasi we were just facing each other, ilang kami but we were exchanging glances. As a person who never initiates a conversation, I broke the ice told him "ang sikip 'no?" he just smiled and agreed. He told me na from Makati pa masikip so I figured he works there. We arrived sa Cubao station na so it was expected na ang dami nang lalabas, napapatangay na ako ng mga lumalabas when he held my arm (I can feel na namumula na mukha ko nito and it's obvious too) so I kept my cool and balanced myself. The doors closed na and he asked again if I'm okay and I just smiled at him. We talked about our age and what we do for work.

Unfortunately our conversation was cut short kasi sa Kamuning siya bababa. He gave a gentle pat on my shoulder and waved goodbye as he went out. Both of us are idiots kasi we never exchanged names and I guess were just carried away with what happened. He was looking back at me though before he disappeared in the sea of people. Did I just have a meet-cute? Nasa romcom ba ako? I couldn't help but smile after what happened. Now that rush hour ulit mamaya, I'm lowkey hoping that I get to see him again and ask his name this time but if not, it's alright.
