 "Prami, there's no good in the morning! What the heck are you still doing? Move dear! We're running out of time!"

Nabulabog ako kinaumagahan sa boses ni Italia. She was calling me through the phone countless times. Ayoko pa talagang bumangon dahil nananakit ang ulo ko kahit wala naman akong nainom kagabi. Isama pa ang mabigat na pakiramdam.

Memories of last night came in. I sighed. Nawalan na ako ng gana sa kung anumang pakana ni Italia para sa araw na iyon. Last night meant a sign that he had already given up. Napatingin ako sa necklace na aking suot umaga pa lang paggising ko. I finally came to my senses when Italia's bratty tone almost destroyed my eardrums.

"What do you want me to do, brat?" nababagot na tanong ko.

Paano pa ako lalapit sa kan'ya kung ang lahat ng sasabihin at gagawin ko ay maiuugnay sa interes ko sa property'ng iyon. Christiano would surely think that way.

"Anong what do you want me to do? Prami, my brother went on a date! Like Raven Christiano Reyes Valencia went on a date after centuries of being a bachelor!" she exaggeratingly screamed.

My jaw dropped. Mabilis pa akong tumayo at nahimasmasan. Sandaling nawala ang sakit ng ulo ko.

"Anong sabi mo? Kailan? S-sinong ka-date niya?"

"Wait, magkita tayo sa location na isesend ko sa'yo. We're gonna see it together. And don't tell me, you won't still do an action huh?"

It depends upon the situation.

She sent me the location. I immediately agreed without even thinking.

I wore a disguised outfit. A longsleeve turtleneck, jeans and boots. Nagsuot din ako ng itim na cap, makapal na sunglasses at itim din na mask. While Italia also had a jacket, denim shorts and high heels. Nakasuot din siya ng sunglasses kagaya ko.

"This is so nakakapawis!"

Tag-init sa Pinas pero pareho kaming halos balot na balot. Mas lalo na ako. I hushed her as we entered a restaurant. The restaurant itself is screaming in elegance! Nakakaangat ang estado ng pamumuhay ang mga taong nakadine-in doon.

He finally went on a date huh. A date!

"Prami, nandiyan na si Kuya with his date!"

"Saan? Saan?"

Nagdikit ang aking kilay. Napailing ako sa isang pares na paparating. RCRV with his date, huh!

"Ma'am, what's your order?" Humarang ang isang waiter sa view ko sa kanila. I puffed an air. Ang nasa aking harap na si Italia ay nagpipigil ng tawa.

"Wait po muna, Kuya. Relax ka lang diyan," sambit ko.

Tinanaw ko ulit sila ng tingin. Christiano was wearing a navy blue suit and the woman he's with was wearing a bodycon dress.

Naguguluhang nilapag na lamang ng waiter ang dalawang baso ng tubig sa table tsaka siya umalis. We definitely looked like fools and obvious spys dahil sa ginagawa namin. My brows furrowed even more when I realized who he was with. Tinanggal ko ang aking sunglasses.

"I think I know her," Italia murmured.

"Sa tingin ko, kilala ko rin."

Of course, I have memorized his past. Sa lahat ng mga babaeng nagpupunta noon sa Norte para lang imbitahan siya.

"Anong pinag-uusapan nila? Anong nakakatawa?"

"Maybe we should ask them that, Prami?" Italia grinned.
