Chapter 7 : Fixing My Broken Heart
"Congratulations Mrs. Escariaga." nakangiting bungad sa akin ni Troy nang makapasok ako sa bar. Umaga pa lang kaya't walang customer. May iilang dumadaan para sa kaunting inuman pero umaalis din kaagad. Mas marami talagang customer kapag gabi.
Maliban kasi sa masasarap na drinks lahat din ng mga tauhan sa bar charming and appealing. Handsome and beautiful bartenders and waitress. Troy had a good reputation of managing a business. Maliban kasi na siya ang head ng lahat ng bartender rito siya rin ang may-ari at manager. I fail to mention it.
"How did you know?." I asked and sit in the counter in front of him.
Abala naman ang ibang tauhan sa paglilinis at paghahanda ng bar para mamayang gabi. I heard they're organizing a party of some sort.
"Its all over in Buzz-N." saad nito.
Buzz-N is a media platform more like a tabloid wherein almost secrets happenings in the society are compromised. Arrange marriages of famous business clan , scandals of politician or their affiliates they've been dispatching a lot of information to the public about things no one think ever is possible. But the platform have been not too worthy to trust because of its questionable sources. That's why most of the netizen consider their information such as of heresy or baseless accusations of mere rumors that doesn't prove anything or even trying to get proven but business clans , prestige wealthy families , politicians and others know better well than those rumors.
"The two of you look good."
Hinarap niya sa akin ang phone nito at ipinakita ang picture namin ni Caden sa kasal kahapon.
I just shrug and pour myself and orange juice.
"Ano na ngayon ang gagawin mo?." sumulyap ito sa akin mula at nagsimulang maglinis ng mga baso.
"Maybe fixing my broken heart."
Troy chuckled and left his work to focus on me.
"That would be hard."
"I know. But there's no harm in trying. Maybe after then I'll be able to set things right."
Lumabas ito sa counter at naupo sa upuan sa kabila ko.
"Narinig ko ring nagpunta si Daniel sa kasal niyo kahapon. Anong nangyari?."
Nagkibit balikat ako.
"Everything was fine."
"Really? Hindi ka man lang niya pinigilang magpakasal sa iba?."
"Yun naman talaga ang dahilan kaya siya nandoon."
"And what did you do?."
"I don't want to talk about it."
"You cannot fix your heart or move on if you keep avoiding this things. Kung gusto mo talaga maintindihan ang mga nangyari o maka-move on kailangan mong sanayin ang sarili mong isipang parte na ng buhay mo ang nangyari. You should get used of the pain it bring. Kapag nasanay ka na , makaka-move ka rin."
"Isa ka pang pilosopo."
"What?."
Ningitian ko ito. "Wala. Anyway. I'm here to bid goodbye."
"Goodbye?. Aalis ka?."
"Not too far. Sa Quezon na muna ako. That was what what Tita Carol want."
Ngumuso ito. "You're going to live with Caden?."
Tumango ako.
"Sa iisang bahay?."
"Not on the same room." bahagya itong natawa.
