CHAPTER 41
JERIC’S POV
Pinapabalik na ako ni Denise sa table, kasi sobrang alala na siya sa pwedeng mangyari kina Aljon at Kiefer. I trust them both, siguro naman they wouldn’t make a scene, especially in a public place. I insisted to stay kahit hinahampas na niya ako, nginingitian ko nalang siya. And I know, she’ll lose with that smile.
“Goodafternoon Ma’am, Sir, ano pong gusto niyo?” sabi sa amin nung cashier sa Bonchon.
Denise was about to speak, pero inunahan ko na siya. Trip na trip ko talaga siyang inisin ngayon. Kahit kasi naiinis siya, nakakatuwa pa rin siya. The smile doesn’t just show in her lips but there’s also a sparkle in her eyes that makes her much beautiful.
“Miss, isa lang naman gusto ko eh, ang matamis na oo niya.” I gestured towards her and held her hand tight. I looked into her eyes. I just can’t explain my happiness being with this girl.
“Masyado ng cheesy ha.” Bulong niya sa akin.
“I just want to make you smile.” I told her.
“You’re presence and love itself is more than enough to make me happy, Captain.”
Hindi ko rin maipagkakaila na everytime she speaks, it always goes straight into my heart. I know she means every word she says, at gusto ko ring iparamdam sa kanya na she means so much to me than she ever knows.
Bumalik na kami sa table with our orders. Medyo natagalan rin kami, dahil medyo madaming tao eh. When we got back, napansin kong dalawa nalang sila. Umalis na si Kiefer. Agad? I worried a little. Mamaya nagkabangaan na ‘tong dalawa. Hopefully not. I know they both like Alex, but still, Alex’s heart would always be the one to decide.
Nauna akong makarating sa table, kasi hinintay pa ni Denise yung sukli.
“Guys, kayo na pala mag-order.” Sabi ko sakanila while I’m busy preparing the food. Tumayo na si Alex, pero parang nauna pa rin tumayo si Kiefer. Parang hindi naman ata siya papuntang counter, parang palabas ata. Ano naman kayang nagyari dun.
Maya-maya naman’y nakabalik na rin si Alex at Kiefer, pero, bat parang aalis na to at hinahanda na yung gamit niya?
“Captain, thank you. Sorry talaga. May emergency kase, kayo na bahala kay Alex ah?” paalam niya. Parang wala pa atang isang oras, magpapaalam na to.
“Oo naman Paps, ako bahala diyan. Walang mangyayaring masama diyan.” I assured him. Sa sobrang tagal ni Denise, or should I say yung service nila, nakaalis nalang si Kiefer, wala pa siya. Nagkasalisi na ata sila ni Kiefer eh.
“Nasaan na pala si Kiefer?” tanong ni Denise.
“Umalis na e, may emergency daw.” Sagot naman ni Alex.
“E, buti nga yon e, para wala ng sinigit.” Aljon smirked.
Nakita kong tinignan ng masama ni Denise si Aljon. Alam mo naman yun, team Kiefer kumbaga.
“O, bro, chill lang.” Sabi ko.
Napansin kong hindi na mapakali ‘tong si Aljon. Hindi na nga mapakali, hindi pa maipinta yung mukha. Nagtalo nga kaya sila ni Kiefer? Denise and Alex we’re talking seriously, at ayoko na silang guluhin. I decided to talk to Aljon privately.
“Bro, ano bang nangyari at bakit ganyan aura mo?” I asked.
“E sino ba namang hindi sasama loob kung... basta!”
“Ano nga?”
“Wala, wala. Wala yun, kalimutan mo na. Nakakabanas lang.”
“Chill ka lang, babae lang yan.”
