Wrong Ring Finger [On Hold]

Chapter 13

Lea

"Ags, do you want us to go to the beach this weekend? Let's do surfing! Do you like surfing?" I asked Aga then looked at him who's driving for us.

"Surfing? I haven't tried it but I'd love to." He smiled so I smiled back.

"All right! I'm going to pack our things later then." I giggled because of excitement since this is going to be our first time going to beach together.

"Why don't you ask Regine and Vice if they want to join us?" He glanced at me.

I pouted my lower lip while thinking about it because having the two with us won't give me peace but then I realized it's been so long since we had an outing together. "Hmm, ok! I'm going to message them now," I said then got my phone from my bag and sent the two a message, at walang karakarakang um-oo naman ang dalawa. "They agreed! Sasama ni Regine si Rafael," I said referring to Regine's husband. Now I can see Vice rolling his eyeballs because he's the only one who doesn't have a partner.

"It's settled then," he said then parked the car at the parking lot of La Bernardino since we planned to have our dinner here after working for the whole weekdays.

"Thank you, love," I said when he opened the car door for me and offered his hand afterwards. Hawak kamay naman kaming pumasok sa loob.

"This is where I first saw you," Aga suddenly said while we are waiting for our food to be served.

I creased my forehead. "What do you mean this is where you first saw me? I first saw you at the atelier!"

He smiled that made me crease my forehead even more. "Hindi mo nga ako naaalala." He giggled then leaned on his chair with his crossed arms.

"Huy! Ano'ng hindi kita naaalala? I swear. The first time I met you was at the atelier in our main branch. I won't forget that. Ang guwapo mo kaya noong pumasok ka sa pinto." I did even roll my eyes and crossed my arms.

He raised his brows then laughed. "Thank you naman. So, ibig sabihin pala hindi ka na-gwapuhan sa akin noong nabangga mo ako sa pinto noong palabas ka?"

Lalong nalukot ang mukha ko dahil hindi ko talaga alam ang sinasabi niya. "What do you mea-jeez!" I covered my mouth when I had a sudden flashback on my mind. "You-oh my gosh." I bumped into him at the door on the same day I found the ring! "Bakit ngayon mo lang sinabi sa akin?!" I asked then pouted my lower lip afterwards.

"You're so cute, Lea." He giggled. "By the way, I don't know. I just thought that this will be the right time and the right place to say that." He removed his back from the seat when the waiter came and started serving the food. "Thank you," he said to the guy.

"Thank you!" I also thanked the waiter for the service. "Pero nakakainis ka talaga. Pero buti na lang hindi mo nakita sa akin 'yung singsing that time kung hindi nakakahiya." I laughed so hard when I remembered about it. Kapag naiisip ko talaga 'yung ginawa ko noon, nahihiya talaga ako. Nonetheless, if it wasn't for the ring, magiging kami kaya?

"Ang lalim naman ng iniisip mo, baka pwede niyo pong i-share? Willing naman po akong makinig."

I laughed then shook my head when Aga said that. "Nothing. I just realized, paano kung hindi ko sinuot 'yung singsing? Will this," I pointed the two of us "us, happen?" I asked which made him think.

"Of course, because we're meant to be," he confidently said that made me scoff.

"Wow! Ang yabang!" I laughed although I do really feel butterflies in my stomach right now.

We continued eating while talking to each other, inabot nga ng dalawang oras ang pag-kain namin. Kung hindi pa napansin ni Aga ang oras panigurado gagabihin kami masyado, eh kailangan ko na ngang ayusin ang mga gamit namin para bukas. It's just a two-day outing so kaunti lang ang babaunin naming gamit.
