"I laugh at him." Karyll raise her brow. We are in Luigi's subdivision. Eating chowfan.
"So? You laugh at his face when you finally realise that you have different religions?" Karyll carefully ask. I shake my head before taking a big bite. Stress eating men! Stress eating!
"Nope. We talked in phone. In chat to be exact since we can't meet each other." I shrug. And it's not like I can do anything about it.
Karyll hiss. "I'm doubting him. We-- in our religion, We can't date anyone we like. If we want to be in a relationship, it has to be an Inc. In your case, someone needs to change religion."
I furiously shake my head. "Nope! I will never gonna change my religion just for a man or for someone." It's a serious thing. And I will never gonna change my religion. I have nothing about different religions because I respect everyone's perspective about it. It's just, I'm a devoted person. Me and my family.
I was raise properly by my Mama and my Lola and Lolo. They made me this. Someone who is afraid of Lord. Someone who respect everyone.
Karyll shrug. "Well, You gotta talk to him about this matter. For real, it's an important matter."
I nodded my head. I think I need to have a deep conversation with myself. Super deep...

Another weeks pass in a blurred. I have deep analysis with our situation. And I already have my answer to his question.
Allison: I have something to tell you.
I call him and when he answer the phone... "It's a yes." I said with a smile on my face.
Luigi didn't say any words. So I thought he ung up until I heard a static sound.
"What the fuck? Are you serious?!" He shockingly ask. His voice makes me laugh a little.
"Yup. Do I look like I'm not sure about it?" I think abouty answer for a week. It's not like I'm rushing things between us, I just don't want to waste a precious time.
"But to be honest I don't know how I'm going to start." I cringed. "Virtual pat. That's okay."
"Ugh, tell me how?" I laugh. "How would I know? Try figure it out on your own."
I smile and fell in silence. "Are you really sure about this?" I ask again. Cause I was about to shout it to my friends faces that I'm finally taken. That we finally have a label. That I can finally call him mine.
"Luigi. Don't start with me. Start with my friends. I will give you a list." I laugh when he groan. Meeting my friends first is a sacred thing to me. Because for me, he's not meeting just a friend. He's meeting my siblings by heart.
It was our last conversation before I go to bed. And when morning came, I was enjoying the cold breeze in my Lola's rooftop while enjoying my coffee when Luigi's message suddenly pop in my screen.
I almost chock to death with his question.
Luigi: Can I talk to your mother?
I freak out. "What the fuck? Who fucking give you that fuck up Idea?"
I become a keyboard warrior early in the morning because of our first conversation for the day.
Allison: are you serious?
Shit! My brain cell doesn't want to take the informations!
Luigi: yes.
My jaw drop.
Luigi: That's what your friend want me to do.
I breath. Gosh! Who among my friends?! I immediately go to Pepengs chat room. Last night I give Luigi the name of Pepengs.
Allison: Bakla! Who talked to Luigi last night?
Angel: Yawa ka Lods, You did not inform us that someone is courting you.
I laugh at her attitude like emoji.
Angel: I ask the basic questions.
I wince when I read their conversation. Luckily Angel send me the conversation.
I just shake my head. I almost forgot that we came from mental hospital. Ugh!!!
"I will go to their house once quarantine is over." That's what Luigi said before Angel put him in hot seat.
I shake my head. Poor Luigi. They just wanted to protect me from another heartache.
I laugh and continue reading their conversation.

//Angel and Luigi' conversation//
Luigi: I will go to their house once we are allowed to go out.
Angel: Make sure if it. You need to ask for her hand in her ancestor.
Luigi: She courted me back then, did she even ask for my parents permission?
=END=
I laugh at what Luigi said. Yup I told him before that I will court him. But I never got that chance to do it since someone entered the scene.
I laugh.
Angel: Yawa ka Alli! You courted him?!
Allison: Yeah, hahahaha. That's how a lunatics can do.
Luisa: Let's go, I'll bring you back in mental.
Jabez: Jusme ka talaga Alli!
Karyll: Sana all. Let's bring this bitch in mental.
Jabez: I thought you are not Marupok na?
Luisa: Tsk, tsk! You still have the crown of being plain wood!
Angel: Lot for real? Are you alive just to be marupok?
Karyll: Virtual pat. It's okay, we still love you.
I chuckle while reading their messages. We never have a decent Talk whenever all of us are open in msenger.
Their comments never end so I have to cut them off so I can reply to Him.
Allison: Don't believe them. Hahahaha.
His next words makes my brain spin.
Luigi: I want to talk to them.
Shit! I never let anyone meet my family. Not because I'm scared of their reaction but because I'm scared thay there is a big possibility that I will lost him.
"My family won't let us be together. I'm sure of it."
Luigi: Can I court you?
Before I can even reply to his message, Another pop up message came. It's from the lunatics!
Luisa: Hoy Bakla! Just chill okay?
Angel: Yeah, Yeah don't let him jelly you.
I shake my head before saying my answer to Luigi.
Allison: Hahaha, It's a yes.
Luigi: Yes!
Luigi: You're serious right?
My smile drop at his question. No, I should be the one asking him if he's serious.
Allison: How about you? Are you really sure about this?
Luigi: What do you see about this?
No, bro... don't ask me that question...
