About a month ago, due to a work related issue, I wasn’t able to keep tears from spilling onto my cheeks while I rode a passenger jeepney home.
I kept my face turned outside, so that the other passengers wouldn’t see.
I did not expect, however, that the driver of the Fed Ex truck behind our vehicle would have a good view of me.
He yelled to me:
HUWAG KANG MAG-ALALA! MAHAL KA NUN!
Translation: “Don’t worry, he loves you!”
That certainly turned my tears of grief to tears of laughter.
