Chapter 2: Unang Pagkikita (First Meeting)
Joshua has talked with his baba girlfriend Julia and told her everything about Ador's reactions to Ivana Alawi's YouTube videos. As boyfriend and girlfriend and as Ador's best friends, the two plan for the mayor's son to meet with the vlogger for the first time.
Julia: wow ang choosy niya, baba (wow he is so choosy, babe)
Joshua: that's how he is, baba. Remember, siya ang anak ni Mayor (he is the Mayor's son)
Julia: may point ka (you do have a point)
Joshua: and this will really help him
Julia: oo (yes), I texted si Ivana, I'm still waiting for her reply
(Meanwhile)
Ador just finished his class and he was heading for home, and due to the large population of the University of the Philippines and fearing that the girls will just hang out with him due to his family connection, the mayor's son put his earphones and drown out in music, ignoring the loud population. He managed to exit the school gate and saw his guardian, Police Captain Coco Martin. Ador and Coco shared a brother like bond with one another and was counted on by Mayor Martinez to watch over and take care of his son.
As a police officer, Coco's job is to help Ador defend himself whenever trouble stirs up.
Ador: Captain Martin
Coco: oh, kumusta sir? (How are you sir?)
Ador: mabuti po (I'm okay)
Coco: ready na bang umuwi? (ready to go home?)
Before Ador could answer, a group of students came rushing out to the gates to get Ador's attention.
Ador: tara na! (let's go)
Coco: pasok sa kotse! (get in the car!)
Coco and Ador hurriedly went in the car and drove off before the students can get to them.
Coco: sikat na sikat ka sir (you're so popular, sir)
Ador: only kasi ako ang anak ni Mayor (just because I'm the Mayor's son)
Coco chuckled as he continued to drive.
Coco: ihahatid kita sa penthouse? (I drop you at the penthouse?)
Ador: oo (yes)
The police captain dropped off Ador at the penthouse, and he had to go back to station to continue his work.
Coco: sige, magkikita tayo mamayang gabi (okay, I'll see you tonight)
Ador: sige po (okay sir)
Coco drove back to the police station, leaving Ador on his own. The mayor's son felt hungry, and since he got some money, he looked around for some vendors who were selling his favorite street foods which were kwek kwek and lumpia.
Ador found a vendor who was selling the food he wanted and proceeded to order a lot of kwek kwek and lumpia.
Ador: salamat po (thank you, sir)
Ador found a place to sit so he can eat properly. While he was eating, Ador saw a white car coming in; Ador sighed as he instantly recognized the driver in the car, Vice Mayor Arcilla's son, RK Bagatsing.
RK is a third year student studying at Ateneo University and he is one of the most popular students on campus as he was rich, handsome and a chick magnet. Ador and RK developed a rivalry for one another since their fathers entered politics, and RK's grudge mainly focuses on the fact that his father is not in the high seat of the city.
RK got out of his car and put his shades on and smirked as he saw Ador.
RK: Ador Dalisay, is that all you eat nowadays?
Ador: RK, anong ginagawa mo dito? (what are you doing here?)
RK: wala, (nothing) I was just in the neighborhood
Ador: o para lang ipagmalaki kung paano nagpunta ang araw mo sa paaralan? Sabihin sa akin kung ilang numero ng telepono ng mga babae ang nakuha mo? (or just to brag of how your day at school went? Tell me how many girls' phone numbers you got?)
RK smirked as he bragged.
RK: apat (four)
Ador shook his head.
Ador: siyempre (of course)
RK: dahil naniniwala ako na makukuha ka ng pera kahit ano, lalo na ang isang relasyon (because I believe money can get you anything, especially a relationship)
Ador shook his head as he obviously disagreed of RK's ideology; Ador's point of view is that money can't always buy happiness, a direct opposite of RK's view.
Ador: alam natin hindi totoo yan (we both know that's not true)
RK: if you come from a rich and powerful family like me, you won't eat from the streets; only at the most expensive restaurants
Ador: hayaan mo akong tamasahin ang aking pagkain sa kapayapaan (leave me to enjoy my food in peace)
RK: sige, sana makahanap ka ng babae (I hope you find yourself a girl)
RK smirked and tapped Ador's shoulder before going back into his car and drove off. As Ador finished his food, he saw Joshua's car pull up next to him; he also Julia in the passenger seat.
Julia: uy Ador, pasok na (hey Ador, get in)
Ador: bakit? Ano ang nangyayari? (Why? What's going on?)
Joshua: magtiwala sa amin bro, pasok na (just trust us bro, just get in)
Ador always trusted Joshua and Julia, so he got in the backseat.
Ador: saan tayo pupunta? (where are we going?)
Julia: ito ay isang sorpresa (it's a surprise)
Ador: sopresa? (surprise?)
Joshua: enjoy lang sa ride (just enjoy the ride)
Ador: kayong dalawa ay puno ng sorpresa (you two are full of surprises)
Joshua and Julia giggled and smiled at each other, and unbeknownst to Ador, they have set up their best friend big time.
Joshua: bro, mas marami ka bang napanood na video ni Ivana sa YouTube? (did you watch more of Ivana's videos on YouTube?)
Ador: isa lang, yung morning routine, pero just the first 2 minutes
Julia: first 2 minutes lang? Bakit?
Ador: uhh... walang dahilan (no reason)
https://youtu.be/_I1PYeP0hOw
Ador hid the fact that the reason why he only watched two minutes of the video because he was in awe that Ivana does indeed sleep naked. As the ride went on, Ador updated his father and Coco of his whereabouts and that he was with Joshua and Julia. Assuming the ride will be long, Ador rested his eyes and took a nap.
(An hour and a half later)
Joshua pulled up his car in front of a house, and Julia saw that his best friend is asleep. She smirked and gently nudged Ador to wake him up.
Julia: uy Ador, gising na (hey Ador, wake up)
Ador: hmm? Dito na tayo? (are we here already?)
Joshua: oo (yes) bro
Ador: saan tayo? (where are we?)
Julia: just come and follow us, best friend
Ador got out of the car and followed Julia and Joshua to the front door of the house.
Ador: sinong nakatira dito? (who lives here?)
Julia: kaibigan ko (my friend)
Julia smiled as she knocked on the door of the house. After a few seconds, the door opened while Ador was clueless and his best friends were smiling.
The owner of the house was none other than Ivana Alawi herself. Ador's eyes widen and his mouth hung open as he is in the presence of the Filipina-Moroccan beauty.
Ivana: uy Julia, kumusta? (hey Julia, how are you?)
She said as she smiled.
Julia: mabuti naman, sis (great as always)
Ivana: Joshua, kumusta? (Joshua, how are you?
Joshua: masaya (happy) as always
Then Ivana set her sight on Ador.
Ivana: sino ang gwapong ito? (who is this handsome guy?)
Ivana smiled as she slowly walked towards Ador while the mayor's son can only blush and froze on sight.
Julia: siya ay si Ador Dalisay (that's Ador Dalisay)
Joshua: ang anak ni Quezon City Mayor, Albert Martinez (the son of Quezon City Mayor, Albert Martinez)
Ivana: anak ni mayor? Astig niyan (the mayor's son? That's cool!) Nice to meet you... Ador
Ador snapped out and regained his senses.
Ador: n-nice to meet you, ganda (beautiful-) I mean Ivana
Ivana blushed a bit and giggled from Ador's compliment and shyness.
Ivana: cute at gwapo ka (you're so cute and handsome)
Now it was Ador who blushed from her charm and compliment; Julia and Joshua smirked and high fived each other as they watch the two new friends talk.
Ivana: gutom ba kayo? (are you guys hungry?)
Julia: oo sis, bakit? (yes sis, why?)
Ivana: nagluto ako ng bulalo (I cooked bulalo)
Joshua: bulalo? Paborito ko yan (bulalo? That's my favorite)
Julia: ako din (me too)
Ivana: gusto mo din, Ador? (do you want some, Ador?)
Ador: o-oo sige (yeah sure)
Ivana: sige pasok na, guys (okay, come in guys)
Ador, Julia and Joshua went inside the mansion of Ivana and the three were in awe of the interior.
Joshua: wow ang fancy (so fancy)
Ivana: all from hard work and my own company
Ador: oh, may sarili kang kumpanya? (you have your own company?)
Ivana: oo, it's called Ivana Skin, at lahat ng aming mga produkto ay pawang skincare (and all of our products are all skincare)
Ador was impressed that Ivana also has her own business, something he can relate to since he is a business major at college.
Joshua: amoy na amoy ko ang bulalo (I can smell the bulalo)
Ivana: follow me sa dining room
The three followed Ivana to the dining room and took their seats. Ador attempted to sit next to Joshua, but Julia stopped him.
Julia: oh! Ador, upo ka dyan... sa tabi ni Ivana (you sit over there... next to Ivana)
Joshua: oo tol (yeah bro)
Joshua and Julia smirked and teased their friend while Ador playfully stared at them as he took his seat. Then Ivana came in with a bowl of bulalo.
Ivana: ito na (here it is)
The four sat down and began to eat one of the most popular Filipino food.
Ivana: sana ay sapat na ito para sa anak ng mayor (I hope it's good enough for the mayor's son)
Ador smiled and nodded as he tasted Ivana's homemade bulalo.
Ador: ang sarap (it's delicious)
Ivana sighed in relief and smiled as Ador enjoyed her cooking. Then she noticed a stain on Ador's cheek.
Ivana: oh Ador, may mantsa ka sa pisngi (you have a stain on your cheek)
Ador: saan? (where?)
Ivana: hayaan mong punasan ko ito para sa iyo (let me wipe it for you)
Ivana took a piece of tissue and wiped the stain off Ador's cheek. Joshua and Julia smirked as they eat and watched the sweetness in "front row."
Ivana: ayan na (there you go)
She said with a cute smile on her face.
Ador: s-salamat (t-thank you)
He blushed a bit as he continued to eat. Then Ador saw that Ivana had a some corn pieces on her chin.
Ador: Ivana, may mais ka sa pisngi (Ivana, you got some corn on your cheek)
Ivana: oh? Saan? (where?)
She wiped on the wrong cheek.
Ador: iyong kabilang pisngi (your other cheek)
He took a piece of tissue and gently wiped the corn pieces from Ivana's cheek while she blushed a bit. Joshua and Julia high fived each other as their plan to get the two together worked.
Ivana: salamat (thank you)
Ivana smiled and blushed a bit while they finished the bulalo.
Julia: ang sarap (that was delicious)
Ivana: natutuwa akong nagustuhan ninyo ito (I'm glad you guys liked it)
She smiled as she went to get the plates and silverware.
Ador: hayaan mo akong makatulong sa iyo (let me help you)
Ivana: salamat Ador (thank you, Ador)
Ador and Ivana went to wash the dishes and silverware while Julia can't help but to take a sneaky candid picture of the two. Joshua smiled and whispered.
Joshua: ipadala mo sa akin yan (send that to me)
Julia: sige
She smiled as she admired the candid picture.
Meanwhile, Ivana and Ador had a conversation while they wash the dishes.
Ivana: college student ka? (you're a college student?)
Ador: oo, business management ang major ko (yes, and I'm majoring in business management)
Ivana: wow, at ikaw ang anak ni mayor, so ibig sabihin sikat ka (and you're the mayor's son, so that means you're popular)
Ador: ah hindi (oh, I'm not)
Ivana: ay bakit? (oh why?)
Ador: gusto lang ako ng mga estudyante na tumambay para lang sa pera (the students just wants to hang out with me only for money)
Ivana: oh that's awful
Ador: kaya naman gusto ko laging mapag-isa, yung dalawa lang yung kaibigan ko (that's why I always want to be alone, my only friends are those two)
Ivana: gawin mong tatlo dahil kaibigan mo rin ako (make it three because you have me as your friend too)
She said as she smiled and dried her hands off while Ador smiled too.
Ador: salamat Ivana (thank you Ivana)
(Small time skip)
Ivana: salamat sa pagpunta, gawin natin ulit ito sa susunod (thanks for coming, let's do this again next time)
Julia: sounds good, what do you say Ador? May plans ka next weekend?
Ador: wala (I don't have any plans)
Ivana: gawa tayo ng mukbang video para sa YouTube channel ko (let's do a mukbang video for my YouTube channel)
Joshua: oh sige (oh sure)
Ador: pero, anong kakainin natin? (but, what are we gonna eat?)
Ivana: sopresa yan (it's a surprise)
Julia: okay, let's go na guys?
Ador: sige (okay)
Julia and Joshua got in the car, but as Ador was about to go in, Ivana stopped him.
Ivana: teka lang Ador, may gusto akong ibigay sayo (wait Ador, I want to give you something)
Ador: ano yan, Ivana? (what is it, Ivana?)
Ivana: pahiram ako ng phone mo (let me borrow your phone)
Ador: phone ko? Oh sige (my phone? Okay sure)
He got out his phone and gave it to Ivana. She took his phone and...
Ivana: Ibinibigay ko sa iyo ang aking numero ng telepono (I'm giving you my phone number)
Ador's eyes widen as he got Ivana's number on his phone. She then gave his phone back.
Ivana: tawagan mo ako o itext kung gusto mong makausap, okay? (call me or text me if you want to talk, okay?)
Ador: s-sige Ivana, salamat (okay Ivana, thank you)
Ivana smiled and gave Ador a friendly hug, making the mayor's son blush as he hugged her too.
Ador: sige Ivana, uuwi na kami ngayon (okay Ivana, we're gonna go home now)
Ivana: sige, I'll be waiting for your call
Ivana smiled and winked at Ador, making him blush as he went in the car. Ivana smiled and got back inside her house as she enjoyed her day today. She went to her room to wash up before stripping her clothes and got in her bed fully bare to take a rest.
(Time skip)
Joshua has dropped off Ador at his penthouse and the mayor's son got inside and changed into his house clothes. He went to his bed and grabbed his phone to look at the screen showing Ivana's phone number. Ador smiled as he got the number of his dream girl. He then put his phone next to the table and took a rest for the day.
