The Ruler Has Returned (R18)

CHAPTER 37

Put my make up on, got my nails done curled my hair and wore dress and heels. Hulaan niyo kung bakit ako naka postora ngayon. Yes. I have a date with Dr Drew. He called me last night gusto daw niyang makipag date since he's off work. Wala din naman akong gagawin kaya I agreed nalang. Anyways, this is also my time to tell him that I'm going out of the country to unwind. I wonder what's gonna be his reaction pag narinig niya iyon. Baka pigilan niya ako, who knows! I might just stay.

I looked at the mirror one last time. "Ang ganda mo! Pero broken deep inside." Turo ko sa sarili. I grabbed my purse and my keys. Baka naghihintay na siya doon sa aming tagpuan.

Drove there and went inside the restaurant. Buti nalang at dito ang napili niyang place favorite ko ang steak nila dito. Malayo pa lang ay nakita ko na siya. Oh my gosh. Ang gwapo! Naka black dress shirt siya at tight denim jeans. Hapit na hapit kitang kita ang mga muscles ng lalaki. Pinagkatitigan pa ito dahil sa kagwapuhan.

I waved at him. He smiled as I walk going to him. "Hey..." sabi niya sabay ngiti.

Napangiti din ako. Tumayo siya at nag beso saakin, he also grabbed the chair for me. I sat down and got myself situated. Nakakahiya, pinagtitinginan kami ng mga tao.

As soon as he got back to his chair ay dinampot niya ang isang rosas sa gilid ng table. "For you, beautiful." Sabay ngiti niya ng pagkatamis.

Kinikilig ako. Namumula pa naman ako pag kinikilig. Kinuha ko iyon hindi ko maiwasang mapangiti sa ginagawa niya. He's a perfect man.
"Thank you..." mahina kong sabi.

"You look beautiful..." he said while starring at me. The way he looked at me ay parang manghang mangha siya sa kagandahan ko.

"Thanks..." nahihiyang sabi ko. "So... did you order yet?" Pag iiba ko.

Umiling siya. "No, I was waiting for you." Sagot niya. "Are you ready to order?"

Tumango ako. He waved his hands para makita ng server. As I was looking at him hindi ako makapaniwala na interested sa akin ang lalaking ito. I mean, he's perfect. Nasa kanya na ang lahat bakit kaya siya nagka interest saakin. I know I'm underestimating myself but this guy is way more out of my league. He's too perfect for me, hindi ko alam kung bakit ako pumayag na makipag date sa kanya.

"What would you like to order ma'am?" Tanong ng server namin. Hindi ko namalayan na natulala na pala ako, I got lost in my own thoughts. I looked in the menu pretending I'm reading kahit alam ko naman na ang o-orderin ko.

Tinuro ko iyon. "Can I have this T-bone steak? And I want it medium well." Nilista niya iyon. "Anything for drink?" Tanong niya. "Sweet Iced tea." Ani ko.

"What about you sir?" Tanong niya kay drew. "I just want Ceasar Salad. Drink is water." Sagot niya.

"Alright! Thank you, well be right with your order." Kinuha ng server ang menu and umalis na.

"Are you on a diet?" Agad na tanong ko sa kanya, curious ako or baka vegan siya.

"Actually yes." Nahihiyang sabi niya sabay tawa. "You know what, I have a friend that loves T-bone steak as well like you." Ani niya.

"Really?" I smiled. Sino ba naman ayaw sa T-bone steak ayun ang pinaka masarap na part.

He laughed sabay ayos niya sa kwelyo niya. "Yes, he also want it medium well."

Napatawa ako. "That's funny." I wonder kung doctor din kaya ang kaibigan niya. "Is he a doctor like you?" Tanong ko.

Umiling ito. "Nope. He was once my patient and he became my friend." napatawa siya. "He's a nice guy but he's nuts." Sabi niya.

"How come?" Tanong ko. I'm curious kasi parang nakakatawa ang friend niya kasi pati siya natatawa habang nagkukwento.

"Well—

Biglang dumating ang order namin. Inilagay ng server iyon sa table. "Enjoy the meal guys!" Sabay alis din niya.

Nagsimula na kami kumain. "Anyways, what were you saying earlier?" I asked. It got interrupted kaya naputol iyong sasabihin niya. 

"So here..." he chuckled. "This guy didn't showed up to his wedding. I mean... Can't blame him." Sabay subo niya. "He even told me that way before the wedding, sabi niya he will be a runaway groom." Natawa siya. "He's nuts right."

Napatawa na din ako. "That's horrible! Kawawa naman iyong babae." Ani ko. Shuta naman iyong friend niya. Hindi sumipot, kung ako iyong babae nako finish saakin ang lalaking iyon.

"Can't really blame the guy you know. He told me he loved someone else." Seryoso niyang sabi. "He said he loved his childhood lover."

"Ito ang sabi niya, he will come and take her with him. I don't know where but he was so serious when he was talking to me. That guy don't joke around as I told you he is crazy he will do whatever he wants to do without thinking about others." Napasentido siya. "He went to me last couple days and asked for an advice." Dugtong niya.

Subo lang ako ng subo habang nakikinig sa kwento niya. Napaka interesting naman ng friend niya, parang si Keith walang pakialam sa paligid makuha lang ang gusto. Oh well, all guys are the same except kay drew. Drew is a perfect guy. Wala kang masasabi nasa kanya na ang lahat. Oh shoot! Kailangan ko nga din pala sabihin sa kanya iyong pag alis ko ng bansa. I'll tell him nalang as soon as he's done talking about his friend.

"So what advice you gave him?" Napaka curious ko talaga. I know curiosity kills but gusto ko malaman kung ano ang ini advice niya sa friend niya.

He smiled. "I told him go ahead and get her back. If you love someone take the risks and face the consequences after."

Tumango tango lang ako. "I agreed." Sagot ko.

Uminom siya ng tubig. "I wonder where that guy went after I told him that." He giggled.

"He probably went to that girl he loves." Sabi ko pa. "Or he probably regret running away from his wedding." natawa pa ako.

Uminom ako ng iced tea. This is my chance to tell him I'm going out of the country. "By the way, I have something to tell you."

Tumunog ang kanyang cellphone. Kinuha niya iyon at sinagot. "Excuse me." Sabi niya bago nagsalita. "Hello?" Hindi ko maintindihan ang sinasabi nung nasa kabilang linya, hindi kasi naka speaker.

"That's good, bro! You go for it." Rinig kong sabi niya. "I'll hang up now, I'm with someone I'll see you sometime, ok bye." Pinatay niya iyon at humarap agad saakin.

"I'm sorry about that was the friend I was talking about." He laughed, "He said, he's at her house right now waiting. So, what was that you about to say again?"

Tumawa nalang din ako. "That's good for him. Would you mind if I asked your friends name?" I asked out of curiosity, Mamaya ko nalang sasabihin iyong pag alis ko. We have all night.

"Oh... his names Keith."

I dropped my fork. "K-Keith?" Namilog ang mata ko.
