Captain In Charge(ON HOLD)

04

I end the call.

I divert my attention, I don't want to think about it.

"Here's your order," I bowed my head a little to say thank you.

Inilapag niya ang isang tray na may cupcakes and hot choco. She smiled at me before turning back, Siya ang kausap ni Captain kanina.

She's petite, morena. Has Perfect body that, I guess, every women would dream for. His dress is hugging her small waist, she also wear an apron.

I wonder if Captain was attracted with this kind of girl.

What?

I ate my cupcakes and savored my hot choco. I never tried this kind of peace for living In Manila.

The people here are so soft and caring but some of them are... You know.

To be honest, I was so excited for this program. I always want to try living at this kind of place.

Tahimik lang.

But of course, I don't romantizing provinces. All places has it's own chaos. Hidden chaos.
But I don't want to know it and I just want to enjoy my time here.

"Hello,"

I placed my cup and face her.

"I'm Dania, your..?" She asked.

I smiled, "Ali."

"Kaano-ano mo si Captain Ocampo?"

Nangunot ang noo ko.

"Kasi no'ng nakaraan ay may dala din siyang babae dito. Maybe some hook up, but you seems different from them.." then he examine me up and down.

Is that compliment? Or insult?

"Babae? What do you mean?" I don't know but I got irritated.

"Oh, hindi ba? Akala ko kasi... Ah wala lang 'yon." She awkwardly laugh.

Well for me it's not.

"Why? Does he always bring girls here? Like what he did to me.. now?"

"What? No! I mean, this can be like a bar? Yeah, you know, at night..." She chuckled." It change to a bar." She explained.

Oh.

Mas lalo akong nagtaka. May oras pa siya para magbar? Gayong isa siyang sundalo? At Captain pa! I think he have a lot of paper works or repost since he's a Captain.

"He just brought two girls here. First is his co-workers and the other one is... I don't know her name."

Hindi na ako nagsalita. Ano bang pake ko?

"Excuse me."

Tumango ako bilang sagot nang umalis siya Dahil sa pagtawag ng kanya ng katrabaho.

How can he do that?

I mean, yeah he's a man, nothing new. But how? He's a Captain, has a huge role at battalion. Multi tasking?

Why would I care?

Inilabas ko na lang ang phone ko at naghanap ng pagkakaaabalahan.

Magbubukas sana ako ng messages nang biglang may tumawag saking numero.

Unknown number
Calling...

Nagdadalawang-isip ako kung sasagutin ko ito. Hindi ito nakaregister sa phone ko kaya
Natatakot akong sagutin ito.
