Meet Him

Chapter 22

Normal POV

All throughtout the week, Abby tried to avoid talking to Lucas.

Kung hindi rin lang importante ay hindi siya lumalapit dito.

It was a good thing na lagi rin itong may mga meeting sa labas ng opisina kaya kahit paano ay nakakapagtrabaho siya nang maayos.

Napansin na niyang palaging nagbubulungan sina Ellen at tumitingin sa kanya.

Siguro pinagtsitsismisan siya ng mga ito.

Kapag nasa opisina sa Lucas, kapansin-pansin ang pagiging distracted at aburido nito.

He was always in a fool mood kapag pumapasok ito sa trabaho.

She was really getting worried about him.

Hindi naman niya matanong ito kung ano ang problema nito dahil umiiwas nga sya sa kanya.

When he looked at her, she could feel his eyes piercing her very soul.

Naisip tuloy niya nna maybe he was reconsidering the things she said to him regarding her feelings for him.

Alam niyang wishful thinking iyon dahil malabong magbago ang isip niya.

Since she had already ran out of excuses, nakumbinsi na rin siya ni Roxy na gumimik sila nang araw na yon sa Friday.

Maybe it was time for her to move-on.

Ayaw naman niyang habang-buhay niyang ipagluluksa ang pagka broken heart niya kay Lucas.

Kailangan lang siguro niyang tanggapin that something not just meant to be and Lucas was one of them.

Learning to let go was hard but,

It was the best thing she could do for herself.

She was not really looking forward to going out this Friday

but since she had already committed herself, maybe she would just have to enjoy it

Tinawagan siya ni Roxy para i-confirm ang gimmik nila.

''Ready ka na ba to paint the town red?'' Roxy

''Yeah, okay, fined,''

'''By the way, may susundo nga pala sayo mamaya diyan.''

''Sinong susundo sa akin? Di ba magkikita na lang tayo sa greenbelt?''

''He's my surprise to you kaya wait ka na lang,'' misteyosong sabi ni Roxy

I was getting a bit annoyed now wih Roxy,

Ano na naman pinasok niya.

''C'mon, Roxy. you know I hate surprise. Kaya kung gusto mo pang sumama ako mamaya, better tell me what you got up sleeves''' irritadong sabi ko.

''Sige na nga, I asked some hunk-i-a-licious guy to pretend to be your date para mag-jelling si Lucas.''

''What?! I'm warning you Roxy, don't you dare do that!

I don't want Lucas to get the wrong impression.

At isa pa, sobrang old style na iyan.

Baka mamaya, binayaran mo pa ang lalaking yan.

Kung ako sayo humingi ka na ng refund because I won't go with your plan, understand?''

Tumawa lang siya ng malakas saka pinatayan ako ng phone.
