Chapter 14

****

"THAT'S A STRANGE dream" sabi ni Evelyn kay Devon na nakangiwi habang nakatingin sa kawalan

"You think so?" tanong ni Devon sa kaibigan

Tumango si Evelyn "It's strange because you said you don't love him"

Napatingin si Devon kay Evelyn "What?"

"Yet you dream of that"

Kumunot ang noo nya sa sinabi ng kaibigan "What's wrong wih that?"

"If I am asked, you only dream of a person if you have feelings for hi---"

"I know that" pagpuputol nya sa sinasabi ni Devon "I don't love him but I know, I like him"

Napangiti si Evelyn "Hindi ko sigurado kung gusto mo lang ba sya"

Tinignan nya ng masama si Evelyn "This is not love, Eve. I like him and I'm just concern about him because he always sticks his nose to others business"

"Everyone is concern about him kasi nalaman ng lahat ang koneksyon nya kay Yangco" sabi ni Evelyn

Bumuntong hininga sya at napailing "Albert contacted him once" sabi nya at hinilot ang sentido nya "I think they're gonna meet"

"You think, one of these days?"

Umiling sya "Albert is not that kind of person. He won't meet you the week after you called" sabi nya

"Oo nga pala naging ex mo sya. Ginawa nya ba 'yon sayo?"

Pinagkrus nya ang braso at umiling "He always show up after I call him" sabi nya

"Ang haba ng hair" sabi nito at hinawi pa ang buhok nya

Napairap sya at napatingin sa mga taong pumasok sa conference room. Binalik nya ang tingin kay Evelyn "He's always on time and he will not show up without a surprise"

"Surprise?"

"Hmm. Sometimes, it's a simple present. Sometimes, it's an expensive thing" sabi nya at kinuha ang wallet nya. Kinuha nya ng singsing na nasa loob nun "Like this, he gave this to me"

"Nagpropose sya sayo?"

Umiling sya "It's their family heirloom. Hindi ko pa nga naibabalik eh" sabi nya at nilapag iyon sa table

"Why would he gave you their family heirloom?" tanong ni Evelyn

Nagkibit balikat sya at napahawak sa cellphone nya ng biglang tumunog iyon. Sinagot nya ang tawag ng makitang si Khairro iyon

"Khai..."

(I missed you, babe)

Napangisi sya sa pambungad nito "You're being too sweet. Where are you?"

(Miss mo na rin ako 'no)

"Hmm....tatlong araw ka na dyan. How long would you stay there anyway?" tanong nya at nilaro ang daliri nya

(I'll go home tomorrow)

Napaayos sya ng upo "Really? What time?"

(Mga 4PM. Why? Are you going to pick me up?)

"Ayaw mo ba?"

(Gusto syempre)

"Then it's settled then. Anyway, how's business there?"
