Arghh...

Nagising tuloy ako...I just want to sleep. Ngayon na nga lang ako nag day off. Yeah...I drowned my self in work just to forget about him.

It's been 3 years and he never showed up.

"Ma'am Eva?"

Napabuntong hininga ako at bumangon. I opened the door and saw one of my maids. "What?" Tanong ko habang kinakamot ang mata ko.

"Si Ma'am Stacey po ay nasa baba."

"Huh? What is she doing here? This early?"

First time ah! Maaga! Ahahaha! Ang alam ko laging tanghali gumigising yun.

"Hindi ko po alam Ma'am Eva eh..." Iling niya.

"Sige, Pakisabi na hintayin niya na lang ako sa baba."

Tumango siya at sinarado ko muli ang pinto. Naligo, toothbrush at nag bihis. Pagkababa ko ay nasa living room siya at kausap si Mavis na tumatawa pa.

"Stacey? What are you doing here this early?" Napalingon sila sa akin.

"Omo! Good morning Eva!!" Tili niya pa.

"Good Morning Miss Eva!" Ngiti sa akin ni Mavis.

"Mmhmm...Good Morning." Tango ko at tumingin ulit kay Stacey. "What are you doing here again?"

"Psh! Parang tinataboy mo ako ah! Eh ang huling bisita ko dito ay last 3 months pa!" Nguso niya.

"Whatever Stacey." Ikot ko ng mata ko. "Go straight to your point." I sighed.

"Nothing big naman! Hindi na ba ako pwedeng bumisita dito? Plus! I heard na nilulunod mo nanaman ang sarili mo sa trabaho!"

"Tss...Who told you that?"

"Your Secretary! Who else??" Ikot ng mata niya.

Haysss...

"Tapos sabi rin sa akin ni Aiza na ngayon ka lang daw ulit nag day off! Grabe ah! Workaholic ka nanaman daw! Anyways! Forget work! Let's cook!"

"What?"

"Cook! Cook...as in magluto! DUH??!"

"Tsk! Kung ano ano nanaman yang naiisip mo." Iling ko.

"Hala grabe siya oh! I'm good at cooking alam mo yan! Pareho lang tayo remember?? Hmm??" Inambaan niya pa ako ng siko niya at tinaasan ng kilay. "Pleaaaseeeeee!!"

d>__<b

"Hayyy...Fine."

"Yey! It's settled then! A cooking challenge."

Huh?

"Cooking what?!"

"Cooking challenge? Why? Are you scared?" Hamon niya sa akin at may halong ngisi.

"Oh yeah? Bring it on!" Ngisi ko din.

"Yehey! Cooking challenge!!" Hala nandito pa pala si Mavis? "Laban! Laban! Laban!"

"The ingredients are prepared! Same ingredients but it depends on what kind of dish you'll cook." Ngisi ulit niya sa akin.

"Sure thing. Basic." Ngisi ko din.
