Mending Our Broken Heart ( Drudgery Series 2 )

28

"Can you talk to him?" I bit my lower lip, I'm talking to Danica, I am planning to build my dream house.

"Gosh, okay I'll try" she already hung up, I place my bag at the passenger seat, It's already 12 noon, well kaya naman nila ng wala ako don. Nag-bake pa kasi ako ng cupcakes para madala sa cafe, kapag naubos doon na lang ako mag-b-bake.

My lips parted when I saw Kade's Mom entering the cafe wala din namang issue sakin yun, naisip ko lang talaga yung sinabi nya sakin noon nung panahong iniwan ako ni Kade.

 "Ma'am, wala pa nga po yung boss namin" I immidiately enter the cafe when I saw Josh, he's one of the barista's that I hire here.

"Hey, It's okay, I know her" ngumiti ako kay Josh, "Paki-lagay na 'to sa food warmer" tinuro ko ang glass food warmer, tumango lang sya at bumalik na sa pwesto nya para ayusin ang cupcakes."Yes? Ma'am?" I bit my lower lip to remain calm.

"I just want to talk to you" seryoso'ng sabi nya kaya mas kinabahan ako.

"Let's sit there" dumeretso ako sa lugar na medyo walang customer, maybe our topic will be that private. "What are we talking about?" I give her a small smile.

"I'm sorry" she whispered, making me stunned.

"About what?" I ask her, still confused.

"Years ago, yung nangyari hindi ko sinansadya na mang-himasok sa relasyon nyo" nanginginig ang labi nya kaya napa-awang ang labi ko "magulo na kayo noon, pero mas lalo ko'ng pinagulo" umiyak na sya.

I sighed heavily. "Tita, that was years ago, it's already on the past. Nangyari na yun, and we separate ways to become batter persons, tita I'm not blaming anyone of what happen between us. It's our relationship that time at kami lang ang may control non, and he let go of my hand even I'm holding so tight on it" mahinang sabi ko, I bit my lower lip to stifle my sobs.

"I'm sorry for ruining your dream relationship, sadyang hindi ko lang kayang tingnan yung mukha ng anak ko'ng pagod, dumagdag pa yung karamdaman ko" humikbi si Tita kaya lalo ako'ng na-luha, may mga bagay man sya'ng nagawa na hindi ko nagustuhan, hindi ko padin kayang tingnan na yung naging pangalawang nanay ko ng ilang taon ay umiiyak sa harap ko ngayon.

"Tita, tapos na po yun, hindi man kayo humingi ng tawad napatawad ko na po kayo, alam ko naman po na hindi nyo kayang sumira ng relasyon dahil once na ding nasira ang sainyo, at hindi nyo po kasalanan yun dahil kami po yun eh, may problema po kami kaya wala po kayong kasalanan dun"

"Hi, I guess naka-usap ka na ni Danica about dun sa bahay na ipapatayo ko sa Rizal"

"Yeah, she already talk to me about that so you don't have to worry. I will handle it" ngumiti ito "So, when can I see the lot? mas maganda kasi kung makita ko ng personal para sukat"

"Yeah, sure. We can check it on Friday, are you free?" tumango lang ito "Nice, ipapatapos ko na din kay Danica yung designs para masimulan na"

"Okay, thats it. Just send me an email if you have questions or something, I gotta go." inilapag nya ang calling card nya na may email at phone number nya. Kinuha ko na lang din, baka kapag ibinigay ko kay Danica matuwa.

"Ayan, Final na just check the design kung okay sayo then if it's okay mag s-start na ang pag-tanggal ng mga damo dun kasi malaki din ang sukat ng lupa, are you sure that we will consume all the available area?" ini-abot saakin ni Danica ang plate nya

"I want to save even at least 150 square meters, just leave it, then the rest it's on you just call me if you have more decision to made about my dream house." ngumti ako
