I got lost in my thoughts. I knew there was more to Mr. Ajero...something didn't feel right Focus, Pablo.
"Ayos ka lang?" Tanong ni Ken na kasama na ngayon si Micha. "Get some water."
"Oo, mini migraine lang siguro." I said then asked to leave early from our head.
What was up with me today? I haven't been the same when Mr. Ajero left our facility. Bakit ba ako nagkakaganito?
Could it be that I have developed romantic feelings for the man? Impossible. I wouldn't date him if he was the last man on earth. Pero ano nga ba ang nangyayari sa akin?
"Wouldn't you?" I looked at Ken as he and Micha judged me. "Seriously?"
"Huh?"
"Halata namang may gusto na sa'yo 'yung tao. Ikaw ba wala pa?"
"He likes me purely because I look like his wife."
It was hard to be in this situation, akala mo gusto ka pero gusto niya lang pala yung thought na may nakikita siyang nagpapaalala sa asawa niya. Paano naman ako? If ever umasa nga ako...siguro mali pa rin talaga.
"Nagugutom ako." Sabi ni Micha at nginitian kami. "Kain tayo libre ko."
Mabilis na sumangayon si Ken dahil nagugutom na rin ito. Ako naman ay pumayag na din para hindi masyadong isipin si Mr. Ajero, nakakasama sa akin ito. Sa korean barbecue lang kami napunta dahil pinakamalapit at sulit na rin dito. Naghanap ako ng table at hinayaan si Tom at Jerry ang mamili ng kakainin namin.
I was using my phone when they came back. Nagpicture lang si Ken at Micha ng kaunti tapos kumain na ulit kami. Ang sarap talaga dito.
"Ken?" Napalingon kami sa umimik. "Ay! Hello Micha, Pablo."
Nginitian namin si Justin at nakita si Josh na kasunod niya lang.
"Oh, andito pala kayo." Sabi ko. "Kakain din ba kayo?"
"Hindi eh." Sabi ni Justin. "Friend kasi namin yung may ari eh pinuntahan lang namin baka daw mali na yung ginagawa."
"Anyway, busy ka ba bukas?" Tanong ni Josh kay Micha na kumakain ng fish cake. Umiling naman si Micha habang naguguluhan. "Good. Pick you up at 8."
Napangiti kami ni Ken sa nasaksihan namin. May magandang dala na yata ang panahon para kay Micha. Nakipagusap lang sila sa amin habang wala pa raw yung friend nila.
I just had to ask...
"Kumusta si Stell?" Tanong ko na ikinatigil nila.
"He's...doing okay?" Sabi ni Justin at tumingin kay Josh na mukhang susuko na. "He got worse. Naisipan naming ibalik siya sa facility niyo."
"Sigurado kayo?" Tanong ni Ken.
"It's the only solution we know. Baka lumala na lang nang lumala si Stell kung hindi siya magiging maayos." Sabi ni Josh. "Pero we just want a request."
"Ano?" Tanong ni Micha kaya nakangiting humarap si Josh kay Micha.
"It won't hurt you, my sweetie loves." Sabi ni Josh kay Micha. "It would hurt Stell 100% but we want to do it." He paused then looked at me. "We want you to say that you don't love him. Easy right?"
"Easy...yeah." I trailed off.
"Oh no." Sabi ni Josh. "Don't tell me..."
"Yes." Sabat ni Ken. "May nabuong feelings si Pablo para kay Mr. Ajero."
"Wala kaya." I said to defend myself.
"Then why are you having a hard time when it comes to deciding for him?" Sabi ni Ken. "Pablo, kilala kita. Magkasama na tayo simula nung hindi ka pa tuli."
He was right...sa clinic kami nagkakilala and sabay kaming tinulian that day.
"Well what are we going to do?" Tanong ni Justin. "Let Stell romanticize the fact that he is in love with someone who looks just like Cierra?"
"We'll just have to figure out a way para mapagaling si Stell without the drama." Sabi ni Josh. "Kain ka na, sweetie loves."
How were we going to fix him without hurting him again?
