TWO WORDS THREE LETTERS I DO (under editing)

Chapter 8

LEA/POV

"Good morning ho, ma'am!" bungad na pag-bati sa akin ni ateh Marj, while she's mopping the floor.

"good morning, ate Marj!" I greeted her back.

"naku, mukhang maganda gising niyo ah! Hulaan ko? Nag ka-ayos na kayo ni Sir Bruhildo mo ano?" pasimpleng chismis na tanong niya, kaya bahagya akong natawa sa sinabi niya.

"Ikaw talaga ate Marj! Naku, sinisimulan mo na naman araw ko." I said, giggling and shooking my head.

"ay sus naman, Miss Lea! Nakita ko kayo kahapon ni Sir Arielle, hawak hawak mo pa kamay niya at Under the sunset pala iyong feel niyong dalawa ah!" My cheeks flushed because on what she said, at kinikilig na hinampas pa ako ni ate Marj sa braso. I shook my head.

"ate Marj, mali po ang iniisip mo! I was holding his hand to console and to atleas comfort him?" I look at her seriously.

"He's going through something..." I fai Ted a smile, before I heaved a deep sigh.

"and as much as I want to share it to you, kaso gusto ko secret ko muna." I kidded at last to break the initial sadness that I felt, thinking about him and how he breakdown last night.

"ahh! You're wrong Miss Lea! Ikaw ang huli na sa balita!" she playfully said, so I just raised my brow and pouted my lower lips not believing her.

"Isa ako sa naka-saksi sa mga pinagdaanaan niya, nakita ko rin kung paano siya nag proposed kay ma'am Trixie dito, at kung gaano sila kasaya nun." I blink my eyes after she said that, shuta! Alam niya talaga? Wow, chismis can really fly.

"ano? Gulat ka ano ma'am?" she jokingly asked, I nodded my head.

"pero maganda narin na hindi siya sinipot ni Ma'am Trixie sa kasal, siguro para mag tagpo rin ang taong Iniwan at nang-iwan." I look at her curiously.

"Iyong feeling ba na kailangan maintindihan ng isa kung bakit may mga taong umaalis, at nag paparaya. Samantalang ang isa naman ay kung paano matututong tumayo, at ipaglaban ang desisyon." she explained to me, that is why I gawk at her from head to toe.

"Ate Marj, in real life. Walang gan'yan parang tubig at mantika lang iyang sinasabi mo ate, malabong pag-haluin." I figuratively explained.

"mantika at tubig iyon, Miss Lea. Eh tao kayong dalawa, parehong binata at dalaga. Parehong natutukso sa alab ng pag-Ibig" mas makahulugang niya namang sinabi.

"pero kung may crush ka kay sir Arielle, naku ma'am, be ready kana! maganda pa naman iyong Trixie, hirap karibal." she said while chuckling, kaya sinimangutan ko naman siya sa sinabi niya.

"grabe ka naman sa akin ate Marj, kong sabihin mo iyan parang kelan lang nung sinabi mong walang makakapantay sa beauty supremacy ko!" nag tatampong sabi ko.

"eh ma'am, dati iyon. Mindset change." she teasingly reasoned out and laugh so hard when she saw how my brows shut.

"Lea!"

Ate Marj stopped from bantering me, when Rach called my name. We tilted our heads to look at her.

"Hi! Ate marjjj!" Rach enthusiastically greeted her.

"Hi, madam!" Ate Marj greeted her back.

"Hiramin ko po muna si Lea" she said to ate Marj.

"Sure ma'am, balik mona lang sa akin mamaya with payment" ate Marj kidded.

"oo ate, with payment of chismis" Rach bantered as their both palm met. I just shook my head with them, well that is their bonding ang pag chismisan buhay ko kahiy naka-harap ako.
