CHAPTER 5

'COINCIDENCE'

ALTHYS TOKUGAWA

HE ENDED up driving me home using his car, hindi ko alam kung bakit hindi ako nahihilo sa sasakyan n'ya basta ang alam ko lang ay kaamoy n'ya mismo 'yon.

Itinuro ko sakanya ang daan papunta sa Tokugawa Village kung nasaan ang mansion ni lolo, I took over the mansion the day he passed away.Sa kasamaang palad, may bahay din sila Xiera dito but I never saw her here.

"Why are they here?" tanong ni Art nang makapag park siya sa harap ng pinaka-malaking bahay dito

"Sino?" tanong ko naman

He got out of the car and open the door for me, ano kayang nakain nito at naging gentleman ngayong araw?By the way, he's wearing a white polo and black pants dahil after n'ya raw ako i-hatid ay may ime-meet siyang kliyente.

May blueprints sa backseat kaya hindi na ako nag-tanong pa, I didn't told him yet that i'll be meeting Mavros at noon.

"Therios and Xiera" aniya saka tumango na para bang may itinuturong view

Tumingin ako sa tinitignan niya and he was right, it's Therios and Xiera.They look like they're arguing because of how they act.

"Let them be, salamat pala sa pag-hatid - I hope you'll have a great meeting with your client" saad ko

Alas diyes pa lang naman ng umaga kaya marami pa akong oras mag-pahinga or mag-kalikot ng files sa office, pwede ring mag-set ng business meeting for the next few days.

I look at my wrist watch before answering him, "Makikipag-meet ako kay Mavros mamayang twelve, business purposes"

"Better distance himself or i'll cut him into pieces, go on" sinenyasan niya akong pumasok na sa loob ng bahay

What does he mean distance myself?Ayaw niya ba akong magka-boyfriend manlang?I mean, Mavros is a single hot guy - I bet every woman is drooling over him.

"Mag-ingat ka sa pagda-drive" ngumiti ako at kumaway saka nag-lakad papasok sa mansion

I entered the elevator and run immediately to my room, I entered the shower and took my time cleaning myself.Nang makalabas ay nag-suot ako ng simpleng white t-shirt at isang pantalon but I also brought a bag na may lamang extra white shirt at mocha colored coat.

I wear a boots for my footwear and dry my hair before I tied it into a ponytail.Balak kong pumunta sa café ni Malgaux dahil kapag wala pa akong magawa ay doon ako tumatambay habang tinutulungan siyang mag-serve.

I also texted Mavros na doon nalang mag-meet para malapit sa kumpanya n'ya which is an easy ride for him already.

"Done" pumitik pa ako sa ere saka sumakay ulit sa elevator at lumabas ng bahay

Simpleng kotse lang ang ginamit ko, 'yung kotse na for business purposes only dahil ayokong mag-flex flex sa kung kani-kanino na hindi naman ako ang nag-hirap.

ARTILLERY WADSWORTH VENIZELOS

AFTER reaching the meeting place which is the café near Mavros' building, I fix my polo and entered the area.I sat in one of the tables for two person near the window and waited.

Hindi naman katagalan at dumating din ang architect na hinihintay ko, I stood up and had a handshake with her.We both sat down so we could introduce ourselves to each other.
