CHAPTER 17

LEANNA

“Miss Leanna, kain po muna tayo.”

Tiningnan ko ‘yung bintana. Tanghali pa lang pala at nasa parking lot kami ng unknown place at wala naman ako nakikitang restaurant pero ang daming sasakyan.

“Nasaan tayo Sheena?” inayos ko ang bag kong dadalhin sa restaurant. “Ma’am SM Lucena City po tayo. Malapit na po tayo sa Tayabas pero pahinga na muna tayo para tuloy tuloy na pagdating.”

I just nodded and opened the van. Gosh, it's so windy here but totally hot. “Let’s go na.”

Naglakad na kami paloob. Ang daming tao, sabagay Sunday na ngayon. Plus it has been 74 days since John courted….it feels like a dream come true.

He always brings me flowers and chocolates. Bring me to a fancy restaurant, arcade and even a golf club. He always wants to make time for me.

Biglang tumunog phone ko pagkatapos magpa-check sa mga guards. It was him.

“Hello John.” I smiled when I heard his laugh. Siguro marami siyang sasabihin sakin ngayon. [Nasaan ka? Wala ka sa office mo.]

Dumaan kami sa ibang restaurants pero jam-packed. “Ahh, nasa Lucena ako ngayon. Meeting with a partner.”

There are a lot of students too, maroons, green, and white uniforms. They are just scattered in the mall. “Uhm wait lang John. I need to ask.”

[Alright, take your time. I’ll be waiting.]

“Do you have classes?” I asked the students who are closer to me. “No po Ma’am. Half day po.”

I nodded. “Saang school kayo?” they are in their P.E. uniforms, MSEUF was written.

“Enverga po Ma’am.”

Ahhh right. I smiled at them and said thank you. Abigail’s cousin was in the school named Pagbilao Academy. I think I will not see him here because this is Lucena and he is in Pagbilao.

But I want to see him. I think he got bigger and more handsome. I’m sure he will get the girl's attention. I talked with John for a minute then decided to hang up. “Enverga, CEFI at taga Sacred Heart University ang nandito po ma’am. Baka saba-sabay na-dismissed ang classes nila today.”

And that’s another reason that we can’t find somewhere to eat. “Ma’am KFC!” tumakbo agad ‘yung driver namin sa empty seat na kasya kaming tatlo.

“Flavor Shots!” sabay naming sabi ni Sheena, knowing each other favs. Binigay ko ang pera sa driver ko kasi siya ang mago-order.

I looked around and caught something in my eye. “Look at those two.”

Natatawa ako sa isang babae at lalaki na nag-aaway sa gravy. They looked great together. “Magiging sila, pramis.” Sheena caught a glimpse.

Napangiti ako. “They are soulmates.”

Pero parang grabe yung awayan nila so I decided na puntahan sila. “Don’t worry guys, babalik naman ‘yung waiter to refill the gravy. You can wait naman di ba? I know you are hungry but fighting keeps it more worse.” I got between them and smiled.

The boy just kept silent but when I looked at the girl, her jaw was loose. “You are Leanna Katarina Adair.”

She said in bold words like she is a computer. “The CEO of Adair Clothing Store. A luxury brand, not just national but international.”

Ehh? She knows me. “Can I take a picture?” she put her plate in an empty space and got her phone out in her pockets. She faked, coughed and looked at the boy.
