My Café Girl

Chapter 2

"Hey! Did I say something wrong?" I asked them confused.

"H-ha? A-ano. Wala naman, babe." He stammered.

"E bakit kasi ganyan mga reactions niyo? "

"Paanong hindi magiging ganito ang reaction namin e pabigla bigla ka naman magtanong." Si Mads. "Dahan dahan naman Faye. Nagpunta ka lang sa Canada e."

"Sorry naman. Pati, bakit naman nadamay pa yung Canada? Kayo ha. Nananahimik sa America e." I chuckled. "I'm just asking Anikka lang naman e. Gusto ko lang naman malaman. Syempre, I want her to be happy na like us. Lagi siyang naa-out-of-place sa atin. And she promised me na ako pa ang unang makakaalam sakaling meron na." I explained to them. Tumingin naman si Anikka sa akin.

"Ano ka ba naman, Bes? You don't need to worry. Di ko pa naman kailangan ng lovelife noh? Hahaha! Don't worry, hindi ko pa nakakalimutan yung promise ko. Ikaw pa din ang unang makakaalam." She said and gave me an assuring smile.

"Hahaha! Sabi mo yan ha?" I smiled.

Phew. Medyo awkward. Waaah! Ang baliw mo kasi Faye. Kung ano-ano na lang pumapasok sa utak mo e. Haaaaayyyy!

After classes.
'La Fayés Cafe'

"Ate Alice, paluto naman po kami ng carbonara."

"Saglit lang. Ipagluluto ko na kayo." Ngumiti siya.

"Thanks Ate." I smiled back.

"Jester, padala naman kami ng 2 frapp and 1 chocolate shake."

"Sige po Ma'am." Ngumiti din siya.

"Thanks." I smiled.

Lumabas ako ng kitchen at dumiretso sa table na malapit sa may bintana kung saan nakaupo sila Mads at Anikka. I sat beside Mads.

"Faye, look oh!" Sabi niya sa akin pagkaupong pagkaupo ko. Tinuro niya yung group of guys na nasa corner ng café.

"So?" I asked looking at her blankly.

"Don't you think he's cute?" She pointed the guy sitting in the middle of his group. "No, I mean he's hot pala." She said na kilig na kilig pa.

"Mads! May boyfriend ka." Saway ko sa kanya.

"I know! Luka ka ba?" She giggled. Wow! Ako pa ngayon ang nasabihan ng luka. =__= "Di ko naman sinabing ipagpapalit ko si Jeric. Hindi ko magagawa yun noh! Di naman masama ang icompliment yung guy. He's so hot naman talaga e. Di ba Nikka?" Hayy Naku! Naghanap pa ng kakampi. =___=

"Ha? Sino?" Nagtatakang tanong niya.

"There!" She said pointing to the guy. "Don't tell me hindi no narinig yung pinag-usapan namin ni Faye?" She eyed her.

"Yes. I mean, No. I've heard everything naman." Sagot niya na obvious namang hindi totoo. What's wrong with her?

"Ano ba kasi yang ginagawa mo? Kanina ka pa busy ha?" I asked her with annoyance evident to my voice. I decided to take a look on her laptop but I wasn't expecting na iiwas niya ito sa akin. She's acting so weird. She's not like that before.

"Ano ba kasi yan, Niks? Mads asked her.

"W-wala. Project lang 'to." Sagot niya.

"Project? Saan? Wala pa namang nagbibigay na prof ah?" Pagpapatuloy pa no Mads.

"A-ano. K-kasi. I mean, this is a project for the company. Yeah, that's it. Dad asked me to make a project for the company." She answered looking so unsure with it.

"He told me na he's preparing me na for the future. Since sobrang bata pa ni Ethan, ako daw ang matanda kaya ako ang tutulong kanila Mom and Dad."

Nagtinginan lang kami ni Mads. We're both not convinced of her reason.

"Okay." Mads said. Saktong dumating naman yung pagkain namin. We started eating. It was so awkward. Napakatahimik. No one's trying to say a word. Pero itong si Mads pasimple akong sinisiko. Si Anikka, kumakain pero nakatingin pa din sa laptop niya at patuloy pa din sa kung ano mang meron doon.

'May tinatago ka ba sa amin Anikka?'

"Ouch!" Nabitiwan ko bigla ang hawak kong tinidor.

"What's wrong?" Anikka asked.

I glared at Mads.

"Si Mads kasi. She's nudging me with her elbow." I blurted out. Ang sakit kaya. Ang lakas lakas mansiko. Kainis. Di man lang agar napansin ni Anikka.

"Why did you do that Mads?" She asked looking at her.

"Wala lang. Pinagtitripan ko lang si Faye." She grinned at me. 'Bwiseet ka Mads.' Inirapan ko siya. I continued eating my food. Ganoon din sila. But, nagdabog talaga ako. Kada kuha ko ng pasta pinapatunog ko talaga yung plate. All customers are looking at our table. Si Anikka naman pinapatigil na ako pero hindi ko siya sinunod. Nakakainis kasi. Sobra. Nakakainis si Mads. Urghhh!

"FAYE!" Someone called me. I lazily looked up and found my handsome boyfriend walking towards our table. I flashed a big smile. Nawala na tuloy yung inis ko. :)))

Lumapit siya. He's with Jeric. He kissed me on the cheek and sat beside me.

(So, ito yung sitting arrangement namin..
Anikka Jeric Mads
------ table -------
Jake Me )

"Are you okay babe?" He asked worried. I nodded.

"Really? Pero bakit nagdadabog ka kanina? Nakasimangot ka pa." I smiled at him.

"Don't worry. I'm already fine. Nandito ka naman na kasi e." Hala! Ano ba yan Faye? Ang cheesy mo ah. Haha! He smiled then wrapped me into a tight hug. Napatingin naman ako ng hindi sinasadya kay Anikka. I caught her looking at us? No.. He's only looking at him. She's looking at Jake. Binawi niya agad ang tingin niya ng mapansin na nakatingin din ako sa kanya at ibinalik na lang ang kanyang atensyon sa laptop niya. Iba talaga yung tingin niya e. I can't explain it. I felt uneasiness kaya ako na ang unang bumitaw sa pagkakayakap. I called Jester para ikuha sila ng pagkain.

'What's happening here? What's wrong? Nawala lang ako ng two weeks. Did I miss something?'
