"How are you my dear" tita Katelyn said and hold my hands.
We are at the famous restaurant, and I still feel sadness and pain, but I need to pretend for our visitors.
"I am fine tita as usual" I replied with a smile and eat my pasta.
"Well, I guess that's great" she said and eat her pasta.
"I'm so sorry Kate, my daughter doesn't really know how to socialize" my mom excused and smiled on them.
"It's fine Frachesca, you know teenagers" she uttered and awkwardly eat again.
Her son was just listening and observing beside her, we sometimes have eye contact pero iniiwas ko agad ang aking mga mata dahil sa di ko malamang dahilan.
He is handsome and attractive but too much serious for his features. I feel like someone is watching me intently that I want to puke.
Because of the tension and awkward atmosphere, I excused myself to take a break.
"Please excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom" I said and leave the table.
While walking to the hallway I feel anxious, and I am right.
He is following me and staring at me.
"What do you want?" I asked and stopped in front of him.
"I am going to the bathroom too" he said coldly and stare at my face.
"Don't follow me, okay?" I said and rolled my eyes, but he just chuckled to me and walk again.
"The bathroom of men is also in your way, Ms. Introvert" he replied and walk in front of me.
I immediately felt anger, so I reached him and raise my eyebrow.
"Did you just call me introvert?" I furiously asked and stared at him.
"Yes, because you don't like socializing" he said and emphasized the word "socializing."
"How dare you" I replied but he was now far from me.
Napasabunot naman ako sa aking buhok dahil sa sobrang inis at padabog na pumasok sa CR ng mga babae.
Nagulat naman ang ibang nagamit ng CR sa aking kilos ngunit di ko na sila pinansin at ginawa nalang ang pakay ko.
Mabilis lang ako kumilos at agad na lumabas dahil baka makasabay ko pa pabalik ang aroganteng iyon.
Ngunit sadyang minamalas ako ngayong araw dahil nasa labas na agad siya ng CR ng mga babae.
Some girls walking past by him looks at him intently because of his charismatic aura.
He stared immediately at me when he saw me walk out of the comfort room.
I rolled my eyes on him and turned front to walk back to our table.
I can feel his presence on my back giving me shivers and unpleasant feeling because he is following and watching my back.
"Pwede bang ikaw mauna nakakairita presensya mo sa likod ko" inis na saad ko na siyang ikinangisi naman niya.
"Why are you always raising your eyebrows on me?" he said with amusement and walked beside me.
"Dahil nakakainis ka" i said with finality and binilisan nalang ang lakad para makaupo na muli.
"I like you, You're cute" he said while smirking and with a tone of amusement.
Di ko na siya sinagot at agad nang umupo muli sa tabi ni Mommy.
Agad naman siyang nakasunod at napaupo na din sa tabi ni tita Kate habang natutuwang nakatitig pa din sa akin
Buong dinner ay sila Mommy at tita Kate lang ang nag-uusap, paminsan minsan ay nagsasalita din siya kapag tinatanong siya ni Mommy ukol sa kanilang business na about sa modelling career.
"You must be very proud of your son Katelyn, at such a young age he is already successful, kulang nalang sa kanya ay asawa" pabirong saad ni Mommy na siyang ikinatawa nila maliban sa akin na inirapan lang si James habang nakatingin ito sa akin ng nakakaloko.
"Minsan ko nang natanong ang anak ko ukol diyan pero di pa siya nakakahanap dahil masyadong nilululong sarili sa trabaho" natatawang saad ni Tita Kate at tiningnan ang anak.
"Wala ka bang girlfriend ngayon James? Imposible namang wala you're too perfect na to be a boyfriend dapat diretso asawa na agad" tanong ni Mommy sabay biro na ikiniiling naman ni James.
"As of now tita I don't have a girlfriend because as Mama said I am too busy, but I can cancel things because I already found now my soon wife" nakatitig na saad ni James sa akin kaya agad ko siyang pinanlakihan ng mata.
"Sino anak?! And tama ba ang narinig ko? Soon to be wife bakit di ko alam?" Gulat na tanong ni tita Kate kaya agad na natawa si James sa kanya.
"I am just kidding Mama; you know me I don't fall in love that easy and risking things are such challenge, but I can risk anything for love if I fall too hard" he said seriously while intently looking at me.
I don't understand what he is trying to derive but it gives me feels that he is trying to say something that I should know.
"That girl must be so lucky to have a man like you James, you are so much more than being a lover" Mommy praised him while his gaze is still at me and giving me a playful smile.
Nagpanggap nalang ako kumain muli para di na niya ako tingnan ngunit di siya natinag kaya naiilang na ngumunguya ako habang palipat lipat lang ang tingin kila Mommy at Tita Kate.
"Ma, I thought nandito tayo para sabihin mo sa kanila ang good news na di kalaunan magiging bad news din" saad ni James ngunit mahina na ang dulo ng kaniyang sinabi na di napansin nila Mommy maliban sakin.
"Yes, buti pinaalala mo James, Franchesca I just want to ask, is Zelestine single?" nakangiting saad ni tita Kate at nilipat ang kanyang titig sakin.
Agad naman akong nabulunan sa kaniyang sinabi na ikinangisi naman ni James at inabutan ako ng tubig.
"Yes, Katelyn why?" naging seryoso naman si Mommy kaya napaayos ng upo si tita Kate at ngumiti bago muling nagsalita.
"I want her to be my daughter in law" malugod na saad ni tita Kate na siyang ikinagulat ko.
Napatingin naman ako kay James na ngayon ay nanatili lang nakangisi habang di pa din nag sisink in sakin ang binalita ni tita Kate.
Ibig sabihin ba niya ako ang magiging wife ng arrogant na ito?!...
