CILY 01 -After 12 years
*Katrhianna Maurty Gilbert*
"Maurty? Maurty Gilbert? Is that you?"
I turn around for me to see who's the person behind those voice
"C-clhoe?" It's been 12 years since our last encounter, I don't know how to react
"Oh my god! How are you Maurty? You just disappeared after the highschool graduation! Akala ko namatay ka na! Di ka manlang nagparamdam tapos ngayon makikita kitang nag shoshopping?! Gr----" ang OA lang talaga nya
"I miss you too. Tara lunch, my treat."
Sabay cling sa braso nya
"Tss! Anong tingin mo saken? Di mo ko madadala sa mga libre libre mo! Saan bang restaurant? Gusto ko Italian! Ayoko ng pipichungin lang!" Di na sya nagbago hay nako!
"Saan ba Italian Restaurant ba dito? Kakauwi ko lang kasi eh kaya I'm not that familliar with this Mall"
Then I gave a glance to the stores inside this mall, this mall is an elegant and luxury mall. Wala pa to nung umalis ako dito eh.
"hmm. Over there! Tara na"
Pumunta lang kami sa isang classic italian restaurant pag kaupo palang namin may kumuha na agad ng order namin.
And while waiting for our food di talaga mapigilan ng kasama kong dumaldal
"Where on earth did you hide yourself for the long 12 years?" Breaking the silence
" Studies. I went abroad"
Tipid kong sagot
"Abroad?! Saan nga?"
"Nag princeton university ako and then nag yale university din ako, ikaw san ka nag college? Anong kinuha mong course?"
Patay malisya kong tanong
"PAANO?? PRINCETON? YALE? SERYOSO? NAKAPASA KA BA SA SCHPLARSHIP NILA?! GRABEH!"
Sasabihin ko na nga sakanya, konting konti nalang mag ii-scandal nato dito eh
I came from a rich and well-known family. I just want a simple and peaceful life before, that's why I hid it. Everyone thinks of me as a normal student in Zendouxe High, they didn't knew about me being a Gilbert.
"Uhm. I'm a Gilbert, Chloe. Daughter of Katherine and Maurtin Gilbert"
"OH MY GOD! YOU'RE THE LONG LOST DAUGHTER OF THE GILBERTS!?"
"Anong long lost daughter? I just want a normal and simple life that's why I'm not showing in public"
Her face is so priceless, I don't know what did I do to make her act that way, parang buong pagkatao nya nabuhay sya sa kasinungalingan, like that.
"Lecheng to! Ang yaman yaman mo pala! Ako laging nanlilibre dati! Kasi sabi mo employee lang parents mo! Grabeh! Eh mas mayaman ka pa saken eh! Hay nako! Simula ngayon ikaw na lagi manglilibre sakin!"
Libre lang pala eh! Kala ko naman big deal.Loka loka talaga tong babaeng to
"I didn't expect you're reaction to be like that."
Diretcho kong sabi sa kanya
"What do you expect? Duhh I'm Chloe Brooke. Wait are married?"
I was caught off-guard when she asked me that question all of a sudden
Parang umurong yung dila ko bigla.
"Is that a yes or a no? Don't get me wrong ha! I'm just curious, kasi you know na, you stayed in NY for 12 years liberated pa naman d---"
"I'm not married, how about you?"
I immedietly cut her
"I'm engaged!" Then she raised her hand for me to see her ring
"Well, good for you! So who's the 'unlucky guy'?" I chuckled
"Wow ha! Unlucky talaga! Well makikilala mo rin sya, by the way sumama ka sa preparation ng Reunion ng Zendouxe ha!"
"Kelan?"
"Bigay mo nalang contact number mo saken then inform nalang kita kung saan at kailan."
"Sige. Kailangan ko ng bumalik sa hotel eh bye na tawagan nalang kita ha!"
