Falling In You

CHAPTER FOUR

Tyler Hernandez

There so many cars passing by. The engines of their vehicle is so loud to my ears. I was holding my phone using my left hand on my ears.

I'm on a call right now with my dad.

"Hey son, where are you? I hear that you cancelled your meeting. May I know why?"

"I don't like her. She is too clingy" I said in a bored tone

"Ohh yeah I know. I thought you didn't going to notice that" he said

"Nothing important to say?" then I hung up the call

That girl. I don't like how she talk to me. Sobrang arte at nakakapikon ang mga ginagawa nya. In the middle of the meeting bigla bigla syang tatayo at pupunta sakin para umupo sa kandugan ko.

Slut.

I'm here outside the coffee shop. I don't understand why, but I love the creamy taste of my cappuccino last night. Especially the little heart on it.

"Ty, let's go inside" Roger call me

Roger is my personal bodyguard. He's like a superhero for me. He saved me when I was a kid dahil biktima ako ng pangbubully. Hindi na ako magtataka kung bakit. Sobrang payat ko noon at mahina.

Walis ting-ting.

Yan ang madalas nilang sinisigaw pag pasok ko palang ng school nung bata pa ako. Roger taught me some self-defense techniques. Tinuruan nya rin ako ng karate, boxing at iba pa. Pati na rin ang paggamit ng mga armas at kung para saan at ano ang nagagawa ng mga ito.

Just in case na kailangan ko ipagtanggol ang sarili ko dahil maraming naiinggit sa pamilya namin. Ang Hernandez Family.

Isa lang naman kami sa top 5 na pinaka mayaman rito sa buong pilipinas. Actually nasa top 1 kami. Hindi na kataka taka, Hindi ba?

Ilang oras na akong nakaupo rito ngunit hindi ko parin natitikman ang cappuccino na katulad kagabi. Nagtitinginan narin ang mga tao sa akin. Marahil na iniisip na bakit ang Arte ko. But who cares? I want my cappuccino like last night.

And for the last time ibinigay sa akin ang pang seventeen na cappuccino. I counted.

When I sip a little, I realize that it's not my cappuccino. Due to my irritation I stand up and slowly walk to the front door.

When I'm already outside I walk toward my car and suddenly the girl bumped into my broad chest. And then she fell to the street floor.

Her eyes got bigger than her normal eyes. She's mumbling something while picking up her bag and checking if she have some wound.

"I'm sorry sir, It's all my fault. Hindi po ako tumitingin sa daan at nabunggo kopo kayo pasensya napo" paulit ulit nyang paghingi ng tawad

"It's okay" I said to her. I thought she's going to say sorry to me but I'm wrong. She hurriedly walk inside the cafe.

"Hey are you okay?" Roger ask
"Yes, she bumped into me" I answered
"Wait, that's the girl"
"What girl?"
"The girl who make your cappuccino last night" he happily said
"Really? Let's go inside then"

Pumasok akong muli at umupo malapit sa counter kung saan ako nakapwesto kagabi. Hinihintay ko si Roger na bumalik rito. Nasa counter sya at hinahanap ang babaeng nagtimpla ng cappuccino ko.

After a while, finally dumating narin sa harapan ko ang creamy taste cappuccino and again there's a cute little heart on it.

"I really love this cappuccino" I mumbled. Roger slightly laugh. I ask him why but he only answer nothing.

Nikka Sandoval

Naguguluhan ako kung ano ang nangyayari dahil pinagmamadali ako ni Lorna. Sabi nya may lalaki daw na naghahanap sa akin at yung cappuccino daw na timpla ko ang gusto.

Kaya nagmadali ako sa pagbibihis at lumabas na agad sa counter upang gumawa ng cappuccino.

Nakakainis dahil tinanghali ako ng gising. 7:32 na ako nagising at naligo pa ako Hindi na ako nakapag almusal sa pagmamadali. Sa labas ng coffee shop nakabunggo pa ako ng lalaki. Sa sobrang pagmamadali ko Hindi ko sya napansin.

Sa dami kong iniisip hindi ko napansin na may naka tayo pala sa harapan kong matangkad na lalaki.

Naalala ko sya, sya rin yung lalaki kagabi na nagbigay sakin ng malaking tip. May inabot sya sa akin na isang libo muli.

"Sir it's only 90 pesos" nakangiting sabi ko sa kanya ng napansin na aalis na sya.

"Keep the change miss" he huskily say

"This is too much sir."

Hindi na sya sumagot at umalis na ng coffee shop.

"Ang gwapo nya no?" Kinikilig na tanong sa akin ni Lorna "Ha? Oo" sagot ko

Tumalikod na ako sa kanya at inayos ang mga kagamitan.
