Los Ricos #2: A Man Once Mine (Memories)

Part 34

Talo

Pagkatapos ng mahabang pag-iisip, nagawa ko ring magtimpla ng kape at pumasok sa office niya.

Like the usual thing, put down the coffee and reading his schedule. May dagdag nga lang siyang tanong.

"Did you like the chocolates?"

I pursed my lips. "Hindi po ako mahilig sa matamis, pero salamat." I gave him a thin smile.

He bit his inner chicks. "So, what do you like?" sabi niya hindi sinagot ang aking pasasalamat.

Napabuntong hininga ako sa tanong niya. "Gusto ko pong malaman kung bakit bigla-bigla kayong ganito?" lakas loob kong tanong.

He stopped what he's doing and leaned in to his table while pouting. "I felt guilty the other night, I just wanted to be nice."

"Pwede kayong maging mabait Sir sa simpleng pagtrato ng maayos, hindi kailangan ng cake at chocolates."

He tilted his head and rubbed his palm over the table. "Maybe for you," he made a face. "but I have my own way."

"Sir your way is too much, anyone might assume different meaning towards that act."

"If you want to assume, then go ahead. But me, I just really wanna be nice." he gave me a small smile.

My jaw moved on what I've heard. Is he doing it again? Isasama akong lumipad tapos iiwan ako sa ere?

O baka dala ng awa, siguro naalala ang sinabi ni Elize?

Nangunot ang noo ko sa naisip.

"Sir palagay mo, paano napunta sa akin ang cellphone mo kahapon?" it's out of the subject but I just wanted to know if he knew something about what happened the other night.

He shook his head. "I've no idea. I think, I'm supposed to be the one asking that, right?" I got conscious the way he stared at me, o nararamdaman ko iyon dahil may alam ako sa nangyari noong gabing iyon?

Ano ang isasagot ko ngayon? Bakit ba kasi itinanong ko pa iyon?

"Nevermind, let's just be thankful that you're the one who have it." sa huli ay sabi niya ng matagalan akong sumagot.

"Okay, Sir." I heaved a sighed.

"Okay what? Which one do you agree?"

"The last one, Sir."

He nodded languidly. "The being nice, thing?"

My eyes narrowed, doesn't agreed on what he just said. "No, the last one."

"Yes, that's the last one. The first was the church and the second one is me being nice."

"About the cellphone, Sir." pagtatama ko.

"Nah! That's not counted."

This tricky living cold compress.

Nahigit ko ang hininga at matagal bago nailabas iyon. Ganito ba talaga ang ugali ng tunay na Trez? Hindi nauubusan ng sagot. Kunsabagay kahit noon pa man.

"Anymore questions?"

I shook my head, ayaw ng magsalita.

"Alright, we'll go home together later, and we'll get your wheels on Monday."

My eyes narrowed, I can't believe this guy. Naplano na niya ang schedule ko ng hindi ko nalalaman.

"Hindi pa raw tapos, Sir."

"Precisely, reason why I want to get that owner of yours on Monday, before it gets done."

"Bakit?"
