Just A Promise

Thirty- One

Chapter 31.

Promises and Wishes.

"Uhm... I guess the three of us really need to open our mouth, nakaisturbo bah talaga ako sa pag-uusap ninyo?" Karlisle really looked innocent when she said those. Sinisimulan niya nang galawin ang sariling pagkain na dala.

Evan glanced at her and smirked without a humor. Para namang bata na ngumuso ang babaeng kasama namin at siniksik ang sarili sa katawan sa boss ko na ang sabi ay kaibigan niya. My eyes widened a bit with that, medyo nagulat sa biglaang mapusok na galawan-- I mean... hindi naman sa mapusok iyon! It's normal that his girlfriend is being like that to him to be sweet.

Kung titingnan silang dalawa ni Evan ay hindi mo talaga maipagkakaila na bagay silang dalawa. Karlisle is a tall woman with a curvy slender body, her hair is a wavy one like mine but hers is... halatang palaging may treatment reasoned why it looks so shiny. Wearing a simple dress yet a very sophisticated one... she looked like a goddess. Deep-set eyes and a fair skin?

Sino ang hindi magagandahan sa isang tulad niya? Baka pati langgam ay mahuhulog ang loob sa kaniya.
 

Maputi din naman ang kutis ko but hers is very milky and it looks so soft to touch... I also have a curvy perfect body but I know boys more prefer a slender body like Karlisle.

I couldn't stop but to compare myself to her.

Sana ganiyan rin ako kaganda.

"Akala ko bah ayaw mo na akong bisitahin?" si Evan kaya ang tingin ko ay napabaling sa kaniya. He's now busy chewing his food in his mouth.

We are currently here in his own office and because nagpalagay siya ng dining table consisting of 4 dining chairs noong nakaraan, dito na ako pinakain nilang dalawa dahil may pag-uusapan rin daw sila regarding to the holiday vacation. Karlisle excused that she needs my advices dahil isasama niya raw ako kung ano ang magiging plano.

That surprised me, obviously. Hindi ko pa siya masyadong kilala but I am very sure, she knew me already. 

She pouted and glanced at me for a second. "Why? Is it bad to visit a friend here especially that you are now back?" may diin sa mga salita niya but she managed to make her voice very sweet.
 

Sinimulan ko na rin ang pagkain kagaya ng ginagawa nila but I can't chew my food properly dahil feeling ko anumang oras ay babanggitin nila ang pangalan ko. I am not ready for that! Baka mabilaukan ako na magiging sanhi ng pagkamatay ko!

This is making me nuts!

Kahit hindi na nila sabihin sa'kin ay alam kong may relasyon silang dalawa! The way they talked to each other infront of me... they looked like a couple who have a cute argument. Si Evan ang nagtatampo at si Karlisle ang susuyo sa kaniya for this time.

My heart clenches thinking of those painful thoughts. If ever Karlisle is his new girl... he picked the more better woman for his life.

Hay naku, Arrie. Kumain ka na nga lang. Mabubusog ka pa.

And that's what I really did. Kumain ako na parang walang pakialam sa mga taong kasama. This is more better, harap-harapan na pinapakilala ni Evan ang girlfriend niya sa ex-girlfriend na walang ginawa kundi ang itulak siya palayo noon. Like what you said, Arrie... you did the best choice.

"Yeah. It is really bad, Constancia. You have a work to attend to and it's very important and sometimes urgent," malamig na tugon ni Evan at naramdaman ko bigla na nakatitig na siya sa'kin.
