Destiny Played it Well

CHAPTER 92

"Good evening." bati ko sa attendant na sumalubong sa akin.

"Good evening, Ma'am. Do you have a reservation?" the lady on the concierge asked.

"Ah yeah. Under Sandro Marcos." para naman silang nataranta sa sinabi ko at uunahan sino mag a-assist.

"A-ah... This way, Ma'am." nauna sa akin ang attendant at iginiya niya ako sa elevator. Kita kung pinindut niya yung pinakataas na part.

"Where are we heading to?" tanong ko nung pagkasara ng elevator.

"Sky lounge po." she politely answered.

"Oh, okay. Thanks." inayos ko muna ang sout ko at huminga ng malalim. Kanina ko pa kasi iniisip yung sinabi ni Sandro sa text. "It's now or never." What's that supposed to be mean? I think this is also the time na rin para kausapin si Sandro. It's now or never. Tsk!

"We're here, Ma'am." saktong pag kasabi ng attendant, tumunog yung elevator. Pagkabukas palang ng pinto ay bumungan sa akin ang city lights and building. This is a breath taking ambiance.

"Ahh... Bakit walang tao? Am I in the right place?" takang tanong ko dahil walang katao-tao.

"Mr. Marcos booked this whole floor for tonight. Enjoy your stay, Ma'am." she said and went back to the elevator at iniwan na ako. I just shrug my shoulders. I was about to take a step when I saw the scattered petals on the floor. What's the meaning of this? I was hesitant to follow the petals dahil baka mali itong napuntahan ko. Petals? What for?

"Hey, beautiful." pag-angat ko ng aking ulo, si Sandro agad ang bumungad sa akin at may dalang bouquet of flowers.

"Oh hey, Sands. Wait. Am I in the right place? May event ba?" tanong ko habang lumilingon-lingon sa likod dahil baka may inaabangan palang e su-surprise.

"Nope. The lounge is only exclusive for us." he went closer to me and make beso. Nagulat pa nga ako but I acted normal lang.

"Woah. This is so cool. What a nice view we got here." pag divert ko sa usapan at tinignan ang ganda ng City. Well, totoo naman na maganda ang view up here. I can see the moon shines so bright.

"I knew you like this kind of ambiance so I made a reservation here." he said and ask me to sit down.

"A reservation? Parang binili mo na nga eh." I joked.

"Not up to that." he chuckled. "So, what would you like to eat??" it seems like he's nervous? Bakit? I tilt my head while scanning his expression. "What? You find me handsome?"  dineretso ko agad ang ulo ko at natawa sa sinabi niya.

"Woh. Hangin, masyadong mahangin dito." biro ko pa na ikinatawa niya.

"So, what would you like to eat?" he asked. I'm still scanning the menu and I'm not craving for stakes as of now. I'm craving for soups, ramen perhaps.

"Hmm... I'm craving for ramen right now. Oh, there. Tonkotsu Ramen." turo ko sa menu. He looked at me in disbelief.

"You like ramen recently ha."

"I do like ramen kaya." sagot ko. Dati pa naman akong kumakain ng ramen ah. Yun ngang nilulutuan ako ni Simon nung nasa NYC pa kami, palagi ko nauubos.

"Yeah, yeah. Okay, ramen." he nodded. "Excuse me?" he raised his hand to signal the waiter to come.

"Yes, Sir?" sabi nung waiter.

"We'll have 2 serve of tonkotsu ramen, please." diniscuss na ni Sandro kung ano pa ang e add na order. Siya na bahala total siya naman nag aya. Bongga niya mag aya ng gala, parang bibilhin na yung building. "All right. Let's just wait for our food."
