HENDRICKS' POV
@office
I went to the office bringing the baon Alyza prepared for me... I feel guilty. I'm wondering why I was not able to go last night, I'm ready to go at that time. Why do I wake up in the same outfit I'm wearing to meet Alyza for dinner, is something fishy happening!? I intend to make amends to Alyza, so I texted her informing her that I'll fetch her...She replied agreeing, but I could sense coldness in her replies..the first time I felt it that way.... Nagbago na ba sya? Hinde na nya kaya ako mahal? Ohhh, nahihiya ako sa naiisip ko...Ako ba minahal ko sya? O baka mahal ko na sya...?
Di nya man lng ako sinumbatan o tinanong man lng bakit di ako nakasipot sa dinner, wala na ba syang pakialam sa akin?Fifteen minutes before 5 pm I'm in her office compound, and her car is not parked in its reserved parking space...
"Where's my wife?" I asked her secretary...Me? Calling her wife?
"Sir, Ma'am Alyza is out for a speaking engagement ...but she told me she will be back at around 5 pm..." Secretary
"Ok," I replied
"Anything sir? Coffee?" Her secretary offered.
"No, thanks ... Don't bother, " I replied
"Is she getting even with me...she just agreed ---" I was not able to finish what I was thinking...
"Oh...hubby...I am sorry...I made you wait, I have a speaking engagement but I estimated it won't take me long...but the open forum takes my time..." she's explaining.
"No worries, you're just on time...we'll be there before 7eve, timely for my reservation time for our dinner... let's go!" I replied
@restaurant
We are in the restaurant just in time for our dinner to be served...after we finished our meal, I asked for a wine...but since Alyza was pregnant, I don't share a glass..
"Alyza, how are you?" I asked
"I am fine," Alyza
"No words from you..." I asked
"About what?!" Alyza
"About what happened...all that happened," I said
"Like?" Alyza
"Like, yesterday night," I said
"Forget all about it, don't worry," Alyza
"I want to hear from you," sabi ko
"You want to hear from me? I fear I might destroy this night, " Alyza
"Spill it!" I said
"If I say no comment? Would it be fine?" Alyza
"I want you to tell me the truth, about what's on your mind," I said.
"Truth? Are you trying to say, you just invited me for dinner to interrogate? Is that it?" Alyza
"No... I want to apologize for all that," I said
"No need for you to ask any apology... It's not your fault, it's mine...from the beginning, all fault is mine," Alyza
"Alyza..." I was not able to finish my word.
