Let's Design Love

Chapter 18: Unit

Rita's POV

"Ahm wala?" Why the tone of my voice is uncertain. Nakakalimutan mo na ba Rita na wala ka nang boyfriend? He's gone, I mean he already broke your heart. I sighed and look at him now. "I mean wala" I said and he just nodded.

"Me too, I don't have girlfriend" I bit my lip and smile.

"Why are you smiling?" I felt shy when he asked me. Bakit ka kasi ngumiti Rita? Pssh.

"No it's just ahm" I don't know what to say, hindi ko alam anong ipapalusot ko. "It's because you want to learn how to cook" I think ayos na 'yon.

"Oh really hahaha, yes I want to learn how to cook at ayoko naman na kapag nagka-asawa na ako ay hindi pa ako marunong magluto 'no. Nakakahiya kaya" Buti pa siya alam na yung gagawin kapag mag-aasawa na, eh ako lahat ng pangarap ko para sa future ko ay tuluyan nang nawala.

"That's good" I simply said and started to teach him how to cook my 'special' scrambled egg.

"Patikim nga" Excited na sabi ko nang matapos niya nang isalin ang lutong scrambled egg sa plato.

"Wait" I can say that the atmosphere is good, he is smiling the whole time while I'm teaching him because I noticed that he was so determined to cook it by himself. Well...I'm proud of him.

"Ano masarap ba?" I look at his eyes at tila hinihintay ang aking sasabihin sa niluto niya. Ngumiti ako ng mapakla at tinignan siya nang may halong pagkadismaya.

"Sabi na nga eh, ayoko na nga magluto" Natawa naman ako sa sinabi niya. If you could see Ken's face right now you'll probably get laugh because he was so disappointed, but for me the scrambled is so good, It's so delicious like mapapa sabi kang wow.

"It there anything funny?" Umiling ako. "But why are you laughing? I'm so sorry kasi—" I cut him off.

"No, It's so good. Ang sarap niya Ken" Napakunot naman ang noo niya. Why the hell I say that! It sounds so—basta. "'Yung-'yung luto masarap" Nagliwanag ang mata niya.

"Really?" I nodded. "Sh*t so pwede na akong magluto?" Natatawa ako hindi dahil sa inasta niya ngayon kundi dahil masaya siya dahil naka unlocked siya ng isang bagay na hindi niya nagagawa noon at ngayon nagawa niya na.

"Oo nga hahaha, pwede ka nang mag-asawa" He bit his lower lip and look at me. He held my hand.

"Thank you, thank you so much" Puno ng sayang sabi niya. "Thank you talaga" Ano ba naman 'tong chinoy na ito, thank you ng thank you. Well It's okay na rin dahil mas mabuting ganito siya kaysa mangpikon sa akin.

"Ano ka ba naman! Maliit na bagay" Sabi ko at tinulungan na siyang maghanda sa dining. I asked him if it is okay that Julie, Jade and I are going to eat lunch here on his unit and he said that it's okay, we are always welcome raw.

"Oh we're back" Nakaupo ako sa couch at si Ken din. Nagulat ako nang biglang bumukas ang pinto at sumigaw si David ng napakalakas. "Oh i'm so sorry, nasira ko ata yung bebe time niyo" My eyes widened as he said that. Bebe time? the hell hindi kami nag bebe time nag-uusap lang naman kami ni Ken.

"Siraulo ka talaga. Ang ingay mo" Ganti naman ni Ken at tumayo na. Kinuha niya ang mga dala ni David na may lamang alak. Sina Julie and Jade naman ay may dalang pulutan. Hays.

"Hey anong nangyayari? I-chikabels mo naman sa'min oh" I was so surprised when Julie whispered in my ear.

"Shh just keep quiet okay? tsaka wala naman akong i-chichika sa inyo 'no" I don't want them to know that we asked each other if we have a boyfriend and girlfriend. Baka ano pang sabihin ng babaeng 'to.
