WHEN WILL IT BE ME?

Chapter 4

Terrence's Pov

~Few Months After~

"Yes... mhmm, okay... okay... No, no, no, it's actually okay. Wala naman kaming ginagawang mag-asawa, yeah, pupunta kami. Again, congratulations on your engagement, Mr. Lim. Okay, thank you." pagtatapos ni Calvin sa usapan ng kung sino man ang tumawag.

I'm currently vacuuming our carpet. He's on my right side facing the large glass window in our living room. Not long after he ended his conversation with Mr. Lim, another call came. Observing Vin's actions, I think he's hesitating to answer it but he still pick it up. 

"Yes?" seryoso niyang ani. "Tsk. I'm fine, how about you?... What?! No way... may lakad ako bukas, of course his coming with me, stupid." my brows furrowed. Sino kaya ang kausap niya? His talking so casually, no signs of being formal or professional. 

"Tsk, 9pm, its a celebration for Mr. Lim's engagement, you do still remember him, right?... Yes... Tsk. Can you just come next week? Why are you visiting me all of a sudden?... No, dito siya sa bahay magmumula, wala naman siyang gagawin sa company... Ha? uhmmm... A-ano... tsk. Mahabang kwento. But-... Your so annoying! You should've stayed in States!..." bahagya namang nanlaki ang mata ko. I already have an idea who could that be. After 6 years. Napabuntong hininga ako.

"Fine, just go there at 3pm. May mga aasikasuhin pa ako sa umaga... Oo na! Geez... Bye!" at gigil niyang ibinaba ang linya. Pagkaharap niya sa gawi ko ay agad na nagtama ang paningin namin kaya agad ko itong iniwas.

"Ehem..." kunwaring ubo niya kaya napabalik ang tingin ko sa kaniya. "May lakad tayo bukas. We have an unexpected visitor tomorrow, pumunta ka sa company ng 2:30pm and magdala ka na rin ng formal wear, we'll attend Mr. Lim's engagement party. " pagpapaliwanag niya. Tumango lang ako. 

Umakyat na siya sa taas, malamang ay magpapahinga. It's weird, parang mag-iisang buwan na niyang hindi iniuuwi dito kahit isa doon sa tatlo. Hindi kaya...

~Hayst. 'Wag umasa Terrence, baka sa company sila gumagawa ng milagro~

~Kinabukasan~

Wala na si Calvin nung gumising ako at wala din naman akong ibang ginawa dahil natapos ko na lahat ng linisin ko kahapon. Inihanda ko lang ang mga damit na susuotin ko at inayos na iyon sa loob ng sasakyan. I have my own car so does my husband. Bahay lang talaga ang pinaghahatian namin. 

After I fixed everything, sumakay na ako sa kotse at nagmaneho na papunta sa company. Again, they greeted me at dumiretso na agad ako papunta sa office ni Vin. Magsasara na sana ang elevator pero may pumigil dito.

Napatingin ako sa lalaking pumasok. He's wearing shades, blue and yellow stripes long sleeves and a beige slacks, and his scent. An alpha.

Nang tuluyan na siyang makapasok sa elevator ay bigla niya akong nilingon and he smiled at me. I'm a little shocked for his gesture but I managed to smile back. He's quite familiar to be honest.

Out of curiosity, I slightly tilt my head to the right and furrowed my brows. He really looks familiar to me.

"You're still cute and gorgeous at the same time, whenever curiosity hits you, huh?" bigla siyang nagsalita. Pamilyar din ang boses niya.

"Ha?" nasabi ko na lang.

"Oh, goodness, Terrence..." he said as he removed his shades and there, I saw his face. Agad namang nagliwanag ang paningin ko nang mapagtanto kung sino ito. "Long time no see, TJ!" he greeted.

"Oh, gosh! Lou!" I hugged him immediately. 

He chuckled. "Your pheromones, still as sweet as cherry."
