Kahati (GMA Magkaagaw Fanfic)

61 - Dis is it pancit. Mabubuking na ba?

"Love!"

"L-love.." Hindi makapaniwalang sabi ni Sander. At medyo kinakabahan pa siya kasi kagagaling lang niya sa bahay ng boss with benefits niya tapos ngayon kaharap na niya ang kanyang fiance. Impromptu.

"Hindi mo man lang ba ako yayakapin at hahalikan?" Vanessa asks with a childish pout. "Kung natatakot ka dahil sa kung ano-anong virus d'yan, huwag kang mag-alala. Mas mahalaga sa akin na mayakap ko ang asawa ko. Kasi miss na miss ko na siya." Vanessa says with open arms.

Sander smiles at her after removing his face mask and hugs her.

"Hmmm hindi mo ba ako na-miss?"

"Oo naman." Plain na sagot ni Sander. Medyo feeling a little relieved na siya dahil parang wala namang kahit anong suspensya ang fiance niya sa kanya. "Miss na miss ko na kayo ni baby Kylie."

"Teka.." Sabi ni Vanessa pagkatapos nilang niyakap ang isa't isa. Tila may naamoy siya kay Sander. "Ba't iba ang amoy mo.. Parang pabango ng babae."

"H-ha? Ah hindi love.. Uhm.."

Go Sander bilisan mong mag-isip ng palusot.

"Si Gab. Nagkita kami ni Gab kanina. Bumili siya ng mamahaling perfume para kay Lynn. Eh.. sa akin niya ini-spray." Sabi ni Sander sabay kamot sa ulo.

"Binuksan niya ang perfume para i-spray sayo?"

"Ah hindi, yung tester.. Gusto niyang malaman kung ano talaga yung amoy pag sinuot ng iba." Patuloy pang rason ni Sander saka siya nag-change topic. "Kanina ka pa ba dito love? Pasensya ka na ha."

"Okay lang love! Basta ang importante na-surprise kita. Kain tayo sa labas! I'm sure nagugutom ka na rin kagaya ko."

Pinakain na ako ni Diane kanina. "Ah sige, love. Sige, treat ko nalang kasi binisita mo ako dito." Sander says and Vanessa hugs him again.

It's Monday again and Diane comes early to her office. Kagabi pang may bumabagabag sa kanyang isip. She's been thinking about her meeting with Mr. Cinco and the deal she was asked to do with. Si assistant pa niya ang kanyang sinabihan nito. She'll tell Regina later. For sure magtatampo yun pag nalaman niyang mas una pang naka-alam si Sander kaysa sa kanya. He was so concerned about her when she told him about what that old businessman wanted. He got so worried. Speaking of Sander, he enters her office after three knocks on the door.

"Hey." Diane says first and she didn't know why she did that. It was obvious there was a hint of enthusiasm in her voice and face, and she didn't know why she did that too. But too late because he already sees her wide smile. Happy lang?

"Diane-uhh.. Miss D, pasensya ka na hindi na kita kinontact kagabi pag-uwi ko."

Diane recalled that last night they were cut short in the middle of a conversation kasi tumawag si Vanessa saying she's in Manila. "It's okay." Sabi ni Diane. As if ba naman may choice siya diba?

"Andon nga pala si Vanessa sa labas, gusto niyang bumisita dito sa Martinez." Salaysay ni Sander. "At higit sa lahat, gusto niyang makita ang boss niya."

Syempre pinapasok ni Diane si Vanessa, ang original assistant niya, sa kanyang opisina. Tuwang-tuwa si Vanessa na makita si Miss Boss at niyakap niya ito agad. Diane expected she would react the same because after all it's been almost a year since last silang nagkita. After manganak ni Vanessa hindi na sila nagkita in person. But all Diane felt was guilt when she was hugged by Vanessa and Sander was also there, standing and just looking. But then the guilt quickly disappeared. Bakit siya magi-guilty, hindi naman niya talaga pinlano lahat. Certain things happened which lead her and Sander have the relationship they have now. And there's no going back. At tsaka no one was forced to do anything.
