Beleza

Marahan kong kinurot ang tagiliran ni Sir Buendavid nang magsimula na naman siyang paspasan ang motor. We're on our way to the capital to have a bonding, or a date, as I mentioned earlier.

"Umayos ka, Sir Buendavid, balak ko pang umuwi nang buo." Narinig ko ang tawa niya kahit na may suot akong helmet.

"You know, it's no longer necessary for you to call me 'sir', because in fact, I'm no longer your employer." He has a point. Pero ewan ko ba, nasanay na talaga ang dila ko sa pagtawag sa kanya ng sir.

Huminto kami sa isang sikat na restaurant. Siguro pati siya ay nagutom din sa halos isang oras na biyahe namin.

"We will buy things for Allerick, but first, let's grab something to eat." Tinanggal niya ang helmet ko at mabilisan itong sinuot sa kanya. Tanging face mask lang kasi ang suot niya.

"Ako na lang ang bibili. Maiwan ka na rito." Alam ko namang ayaw niyang malantad ang pagkatao niya rito.

"Will it be fine by you?"

"Of course. Atsaka, nasa province ka namin. It's my duty to tour you around." Kinapa ko ang bulsa ko pero sa kasamaang-palad ay naiwan ko pala ang pitaka ko.

"You don't have cash," komento niya. Tumango ako at napangiti nang alanganin.

"Naiwan ko."

"Pambihira ka naman. Ikaw kaya 'yong nag-ayang mag-date." Does he need to point that out? Sinasadya niya ba talagang manlumo ako sa kahihiyan?

"Here." Inabot ko na ang pitaka niya at agad siyang tinalikuran.

Pumasok na ako sa restaurant at nag-order ng takeout. Pinili ko ang magugustuhan niya dahil, well, pera niya 'to. Agad din akong bumalik bitbit ang mga pinamili ko.

"Where should we eat?" he asks. Napaisip naman ako kung saan.

"I know a place where we could see the sunset. Let's go there."

Itinuro ko sa kanya ang daan at ilang liko at harurot pa ay narating na namin ang talampas na kung saan tanaw ang malawak na karagatan. Kaunti lang ang pumupunta rito dahil puno ng magagarang resorts ang ibaba nito.

"This place is great," he comments while eyeing the surrounding. We look at the view below us and we see several people enjoying what the beach can offer.

"One of these days, I would build a high-class resort there. The place is simply captivating."

"Sa dami na ng mga gampanin mo, sigurado akong 'di mo na mapagtutuonan ang planong 'yan." He's the busiest person I know. That's why the fact that he's casually spending his time here with us is bugging me.

"Anyway, sir---"

"Just Buendavid, can you?" nakangisi niyang tanong habang nagsisimulang ilabas ang dala naming pagkain.

"Okay, Buendavid, is it really okay for you to be here? I mean, you have a multi-billion company to run." I hear him sigh deeply.

"Honestly, things are hectic there as we speak. But, I know how to prioritize more important matter, that's why I'm here."

"Pero, si-- Buendavid, hindi mo dapat pinapabayaan ang VS. Akala ko pa naman ay ayos la--"

"Let's stop talking about business for now. Let's enjoy our first official date. Come here."

Just like what he wants, I zip my mouth and come closer to him. Hindi na ako nakapalag nang bigla niya akong yakapin. He places his chin on the top of my head, yeah, that's our height difference.
