MY AGENDA FOR TODAY IS to go to The Hudson for work and then pick up Freya at the airport. Hindi ako nakatulog nang maayos kagabi dahil sa sobrang excited ko na makita ulit si Freya.
I didn't expect that she'll really become my friend. At first, I thought she just wanted to help me when I was struggling with money back then, but then she never stopped contacting me even when I told her that I will stay in Brooklyn for good.
And now, she's even spending money just to visit me here in Brooklyn!
"Good mood ka ata ngayon Ate Kenna?" Sita ni Jai habang naghahanda kami ng mga tables bago mag bukas ang restaurant in 15 minutes.
Nginitian ko siya. "I will pick up my friend at the airport later. Excited na kasi akong makita siya ulit."
"Really?" Her eyes twinkling. "Tiga saan siya ate?"
"She lives in Las Vegas. Bibisitahin lang niya ako dito." Sagot ko. "Dati rin akong nakatira sa Vegas bago ako lumipat dito sa Brooklyn."
"Talaga ate? Bakit ka lumipat dito sa Brooklyn? Mas maganda ba dito keysa sa Vegas? Gusto ko rin makapunta do'n!"
Sandali akong natigilan dahil sa tanong ni Jai. "Uhm... my sister moved here so, I followed." Simpleng sagot ko. "Both New York and Las Vegas have their own beauty. Both places are appealing, and I like both of them."
"Iba pa rin talaga kapag may kalapit ka na kapamilya o kamag-anak no ate? Sila pa rin talaga ang una mong lalapitan kapag may problema ka." She sighs. "Mabuti nalang din nandito na ang buong pamilya ko kasi ang hirap noong mag-isa lang ako."
Hindi na ako nakasagot pagkatapos sabihin ni Jai 'yon. I just smile at her.
Gusto ko mang sumang-ayon sa sinabi niya, pero pinigilan ko ang sarili ko dahil baka madulas pa ako at masabi ko ang katotohanan na iniwan talaga ako ng kapatid ko at hinanap ko lang siya kaya ako napadpad dito sa Brooklyn.
The morning flew by as we got really busy. And by after lunch, I asked Ryder if I could leave early. Hanggang 5 p.m. pa ang trabaho ko ngayong araw at 4 p.m. ang land ni Freya sa JFK. Balak kong umalis ng mga bandang 2 p.m. dito dahil baka abutan ako ng rush hour papuntang airport.
"Sure! No worries. I can take over the front with Jai. We have enough cook at the kitchen anyway."
"Really? Thank you so much, Ryder!" Napapalakpak ako sa tuwa. Nahihiya kasi akong magpaalam kay Ryder. Alam ko namang papayagan niya ako agad, pero nakakahiya pa rin. Baka isipin niya masyado na akong abusado.
"Do you want to borrow my car? It will be easier for you to get there. I'm sure your friend will have luggage bags and it's a hassle getting a cab at the airport."
"No, no, it's okay." I waved my hand in front of me to decline his offer. "I don't want to put a scratch on your BMW." I chuckled.
"C'mon, Kenna. I trust you with almost everything so, my car is not an exception." Ryder said before handing me his car keys. "Just take it hmm?"
