Hanging in the Cab

Jules, Gab and I always fool around. One usual thing that we do is we kept on repeating the same discussion as if we were a long player stuck on the same second.

Jules: Kumain na ba kayo?

Gab: Kelan?

Me: Ha?

Jules: Kumain na ba kayo?

Gab: Kelan?

Me: Ha?

Jules: Kumain na ba kayo?

Gab: Kelan?

Me: Ha?

It’s an ongoing joke within our circle.

Last New Year’s Eve, the three of us shared the same taxi going to Ate Saffiya’s House in Al Ghuzais. Gab asked me something about who did something. He asked me, “Si Jules?”

I answered, “Sino?”

Gab, “Si Jules?”

“Sino?” I answered.

And that conversation went on and on. The Iraninan Taxi Driver, confused about what these Filipinos were talking about, didn’t stop himself and asked Julius, who sat infront, “What happened!?”
