Half day from work. Ngayon kasi ang uwi nila Alex. And she wanted to prepare a special dinner for them. How she missed her daughter!
After her encounter with Lance last night, she admit it, para siyang nabunutan ng napakalaking tinik sa dibdib.
Ang gaan pala sa pakiramdam.
Gamit ang kotseng bigay ng kompanya, tinahak niya ang daan papunta sa malapit na mall to buy ingredients she needed.
After half an hour, nasa loob na siya ng grocery store. And disappointed when she saw lots of people inside. Ang siste ba eh, mkikipagsiksikan siya?
Damn!
Naiiling siyang naglakad.
She took a cart and find her way through the meat section.
She's planning to cook for shrimp croele, savory pork stew and bake her version of beef and bean taco casserole which is Alex's favorite dinner. Thanks to Chef Teng, she can cook now.
Kasalukuyan siyang humahanap ng cheddar cheese.
"There you are.." sabi niya ng makakita.
Pilit niyang inaabot ang isang pack pero parang kulang parin kahit 4 inch na heels niya.
Naisip niyang magpakuha nalang..
She turned around at muntik ng makasigaw ng may isang lalaking dumukwang sa mismong harap niya at may kinuha sa taas. Dahil sa tangkad nito at dumukwang pa, she's now facing his chest habang napasandal sa stall.
Halos maduling siya sa lapit nila ng green striped necktie nito.
The guy, also in his business suit.
He's only inches away that's why she can smell his scent. At napapikit siya.
Hmmm Clive Christian. This smells familiar.
Then she opened her eyes, only to see the man widely grinning.
"Do i smell good?" nakakalokong sabi nito
"Shut up." saka niya ito inirapan.
"Here." abot sa kanya ng cheddar cheese. He's still smiling.
Hinablot niya ito.
"Thanks." galing sa ilong na sabi niya saka ito tinalikuran.
She knows that he's following her.
"May kainan ata sa inyo ah?" sumabay ito sa kanya while checking her cart.
"What are you doing here?" she stopped and face him.
"Wooooow...........There you are again, akala ko ba, ok na tayo?" nakataas pa ang dalawang kamay nito na para bang sinasabing "hindi ako nag hahanap ng away so cool!"
Ok na nga sila, naiinis lang siya dahil sa nangyari kanina.
"Oo na." she sighed. "Uuwi na sila Alex mamaya, i'm preparing dinner."
"Really?" kumislap ang mata nito sa narinig.
"So, it means, i can finally see my daughter?"
"Lance, diba pinag usapan natin.."
"Yes i know. Sabi ko, makita lang. Don't tell me, hindi ka papayag?"
"Ok. But promise me...."
"Promise." sabi agad nito hindi pa naman siya tapos sabay taas ng kanang kamay nito while smiling.
Naninibago siya dito.
Nakatitig lang siya kay Lance.
"What?"
