Naghanda ako ng miryenda para sa kanila.. pagkalapag ko nung tray sa mesa ay umamba na akong aalis.
"Wait Ariane, sit here! I'm Michelle, by the way, you can call me Mich."
"Okay po."
"Drop the po! I know we have the same age.."
"Baby you're scaring her out!"
"No, I'm not!"
"Yes you are! Spoiled brat!" Nagtatalo yung dalwa..
"I'm not spoiled!"
"Tss.."
"Tss ka rin.."
"Excuse me. Uhm. Hindi naman po But Uhm... think.. you two needed time.."
"Wait Ariane.. don't you wanna talk to me!" She pouted.. shes really cute.
"Pero---"
"I can't believe she don't want to talk to me.. Baby Xiiiii! Bakit?!"
"Stop it Michelle! You're scaring her more..."
"I think its because of you, Go to your office now! We'll have our girls talk here.. shuuupi!" At pinagtabuyan na nga ni mam Mich si sir Xian papunta sa office nito.
"Okay, okay! You don't need to push me. Sheeez."
"So Ariane, how'd you got here?"
"Uhm kasi po..." ikinuwento ko sa kanya kung pano ko napadpad dito.. yung pagtulong sakin ni sir Enzo pati na rin kung anong mga ginagawa ko.
"Eh kamusta naman si Benjamin as Boss?"
"Okay naman po. Mabait sya at caring.."
"Really?"
"Ma'am may itatanong po ako?" Sumimangot sya..
"I said call me Mich!"
"Sorry po--- I mean Sorry Mich"
"Better, what is it?"
"By any chance, do you know someone named Skyler?" Natigilan sya bigla..
"Ahm. Ye-yeah. He's actually my bestfriend. Why'd you ask?"
"Aah, that answers it.. familiar po kasi yung mukha niyo.. yun pala ikaw nga yung kaibigan ni Sky.. classmate ko po sya nung highschool. Remember me? Ariane Gomez.."
"Oh? I remember, ikaw yung napapagkamalan ko lagi na girlfriend niya noon kasi lagi kayong magkasama.. haha I remember those days. Inaway pa kita noon. I'm sorry about that!"
"It's okay mga bata pa tayo nun." ^__^ I remember how she despises me.. haha
"Uuh. Thank you Ariane. So hows your studies magse second year ka na rin, diba?"
"Hopefully, pero baka hindi po muna ko mag enrol next semester."
"What? No! Hindi yun pede yun! Bakit?"
"Financial problem po."
"Wait! I can help, I know someone who could help you give a scholarship."
"Pero---" Tumalikod sya sakin at agad na nagdial sa phone niya...
"Hello! Gaby! I'm okay no need to worry, I just wanna ask you a favor. Hmn. About your scholarship program. I have a friend here. Could you help her? Yeah. Okay. Tommorow? Sure. That would be great! Thank you so much Gaby. See you!" At ibinaba niya na yung phone.
"Okay, all we have to do is be there tomorrow morning for your application. ^___^ "
"Talaga po?" Tumango lang sya while smiling at me, sa sobrang kasiyahan ko ay napayakap na ko sa kanya..
"Thank you thank you"
"Oh.. you're very much welcome Ariane.. thats what a friend does.. I'm really glad I could help.. stop crying. Pati ako naiiyak na din."
"Thank you po talaga. I'm just really happy!"
"I am too. ^__^ Can I have your number para macontact kita for tomorrow?"
Ibinigay ko na yung number ko sa kanya. I still cant believe it. Makakapag aral pa rin ako. Thanks to Mich. Shes super kind. Kaya siguro naging sila ni sir.
"And can you do me a favor? Please?"
"Ano po yun? Anything.."
"I convince mo naman syang umattend sa family gathering namin, kakadating lang kasi ni mom at dad from states, saglit lang sila dito they just checked on me . Eh bago sila umalis gusto sana nila makita si Xii.. please for me? Sa thursday pa naman."
"Uhm. I'll do my best!"
"Okay I'll be counting on you! I have to go, take care of him ha? Promise?"
"Okay!"
"I really have to go. Kaw na bahala sa pinsan ko ah? Bye!" Sabi nya at dali daling tumakbo palabas sa pintuan..
"Bye!" Teka, anong sabi niya? Tama ba ko ng dinig? All this time I've been bitter kasi akala ko girlfriend sya ni sir. Pero I'm wrong.
She's his...
cousin?
