Chapter 3

<NATHALIE>

IT WAS A SUNNY DAY, maaga pa lang nag-aayos na kami ng mga gamit. It's already 7am and mamayang 8 am open na ang DL CAFÉ.

DL CAFÉ stands for Dream Love Café.

Sabi ni Ate Anie the DL CAFÉ is dedicated to all hopeless romantic people. That cafe has a lot of meaning.

Para sa lahat ng umasa at pinaasa. Iyong nangako at pinako lang ang pangako. But for me it's more than a hopeless romantic Café, this cafe became my home and silent zone.

"Hello Nathalie to earth....!!!" sigaw sa akin.

Napalingon ako sa gawing kanan kung saan naroon si Amber. Nakapamewang na lumapit si Amber sa akin.

She came closer to me while raising her eyebrows.
"Baka naman may balak kang bitawan 'yang walis or maybe your planning to marry it,"

I sighed and rolled my eyes
"Amber, can you stop being mean to me?"

She just sneered at me
"I'm not mean to you, do I?"

I just shook my head, "Ewan ko sa 'yo!"

Iniwan ko siya doon at pumasok sa loob ng Café.

"Hey." bungad ni Shania sa'kin

Ngumiti ako sa kanya, "Shania, where's Jenie?"

"Hindi ko alam. Kasama siya kanina ni Ate Anie," sagot niya.

Tumango ako. Magsasalita pa sana ako kung 'di lang pumasok at nagsalita si Ate Anie.

"Oh girls," aniya.

"Ate," sabay naming sabi, maliban kay Jenie mukhang kasama niya ito.

"Well since saturday ngayon, why don't you four have some break. Simula kasi ng dumating kayo rito mas nakatuon kayo sa trabaho niyo. Ibang iba sa kwento ng mga magulang niyo sa 'kin noon." Lumapit siya sa amin at ngumiti. "Take time to relax and enjoy girls. Life is too short to waste with."

"Amm, Ate Anie pwede po ba?" Jenie excitedly asked.

Tumango siya.
"Sure. Sa lahat ng ginawa niyo over all in three years, ngayon lang kayo magbre-break."

Napangiti kami sa sinabi niya habang si Amber naman dali-daling pumasok at nagtataka kaming tiningnan.

"What?" she asked us.

We smiled at her excitedly. While she was just standing and giving us "what's going on?" looks.

"Ano nga?" she repeated

"Fine.." Jenie chuckled. "Baka magwala ka if hindi namin sabihin."

She raised her eyebrows
"So? anong ngang meron?"

"Amber, anong araw ngayon?" tanong ni Shania sa kanya.

Napatitig siya sa'min saka inisip kung anong araw nga ngayon.

"Ahm, Saturday?" nagtataka pa nitong sagot.

Shania came closer to Amber
"Gusto mo sumama?" Ngiti niya rito.

"Sumama? Saan?" sunod sunod niyang tanong.

"Ate Anie gave us a two day break. Wanna come with us?" saad ni Jenie.

"B-break? Are you serious?" she asked while wondering if it's true.

"Yes!" sagot namin.

"Nah you're just joking, right?" ulit pa niya.

Natatawa na lang kami sa kanya.

"Do we look like a clown? at biruin ka namin ng ganiyan," sarkastikong sabi ko.
