CHAPTER 8: IT'S TIME

She had been scribbling the words in her mind for about an hour now. But her mind was wandering somewhere, and she could hardly focus on that moment. Hindi niya matapos-tapos ang istoryang dapat ginagawa niya na ngayon. May deadline ito pero hindi mapigilang lumipad ang isip niya kung saan.

She disliked procrastinating. She had done that in her school days. However, it's way different if you started to work. Maaari siyang matanggal kapag tatamad tamad siya.

Ngunit paano naman mawawala ang mga katanungan na gumugulo sakanya. Ngayon nagtataka siya kung bakit napunta roon ang jacket ng nobyo na ineregalo niya rito. And why would her sister keep that in the box and seal it with the paper wrapped around it? 
 

Dapat ba niyang tanungin ang kapatid o ang nobyo niya? Because something is wrong here. And she will find out herself.

Carnala was finally discharged, but the doctor recommended not giving her loads of work and avoiding things that would make her exhausted. Kaya nasa bahay lang ito at nagpapahinga. Pamela, her friend, was there to keep her entertained.

She couldn't confront her in the meantime. Dahil sunod-sunod na gawain ang tumambak sakaniya sa nagdaang linggo. Speaking of, this is the end of the week! Tanda niya pa na may isang linggo lang siya na makasama ang kapatid niya. Pero hanggang ngayon hindi pa niya ito nakikita.

Maybe he was kidding me.

Yes. Probably that contract was fake! Hindi naman niya gustong magpakasal sa taong hindi niya mahal. Lalo na sakaniya! Even if he's drop-dead gorgeous and hot with his captivating ashed-eyes, a muscular body, and his luscious lips, she could barely forget. It makes her want to kiss him harder, and...

What the heck is that!? She's not fantasizing that man! Hell no! May boyfriend na siya at kasalanan na....na magustuhan niya na maging malapit siya rito. Hindi pwede! She has to forget that immediately. Ayaw niyang magkasira sila ng nobyo nya.

Lumabas muna siya ng office niya at maghanap ng ibang gawain upang mawala ang nasa isip niya. As she got out of her office, she was welcomed by the staff, who's busy serving the orders of the customer. Punong-puno ang bawat table ng mga tao. At hindi ito ang unang beses na dagsain sila ng customer.

"Ran bakit hindi mo sinabi sa akin na marami palang customer ngayon. Edi sana tumulong ako." sabi niya rito nang makalapit.

"Eh ma'am alam ko naman na busy ka. Kaya hindi na kita inistorbo."

She exhaled. "Fine. Hand me the apron." hindi na ito nagsalita pa at ibinigay ito sakaniya.

She wore the apron and tied her hair in a messy bun. "Kung wala kang ibang ginagawa. Tulungan mo rin sila."

"Yes ma'am!"

She walked to the kitchen counter, grabbed the tray with food, and began to serve it to the customer. Ginawa niya ito ng halos isang oras hanggang sa tumulong naman siya sa pagkuha ng mga order nito.

"What's your order sir?" tanong niya sa mga kabataan na isa sa nangigibabaw ang ingay dito.

"Ahmm. I want to order You." banat ng isa sakanila.

This is not the first time she's experienced someone trying to flirt with her. She reminded herself not to argue with a bunch of teenagers and to stay calmer than she already did. "You? But YOUR name wasn't here sir. You may choose another one."

Napakamot sya ng ulo."I mean... I want to order Me??"

"Sir, I already told you... Your name is not listed here. And cannibalism is against the law. So, order something edible that are listed to our menu." pagbabara nya rito.
