Chapter 33

ROSCOE LITERALLY stretched his back after finishing his last task for the preparation of the woman, Marquessa's natal day. "Ah, this should suffice." He said after looking at his own work of them connecting each cloth towards the center of the ceiling in a curvy attraction to prose a beautiful interior design at the eye. "Ang ganda niya! Kailangan nalang natin ng glitters para magmukhang diyamante ang ceiling, what'cha think?" Inara asked him when she finished arranging the food at the buffet tables.

"Hmm, maayos naman. Pero hindi ba yan nakakasagabal sa mga bisita mamaya? I mean maraming pupunta mamaya." Sagot niya. Napaisip naman si Inara sa kanyang tinanong. Kapagkuwan ay napadako ang tingin niya sa mga taong nagtratrabaho para sa venue.

"Tama ka nga, mas mabuti yung spotlight nalang ang piliin natin dahil hindi pa tayo magkakaproblema pag dating sa paglilinis mamaya. Oh my, you're so good indeed!" Masayang aniya.

Tumawa naman si Roscoe sa kanya. "Ano ka ba, ako lang ito!" Sagot niya at saka sila tumawang dalawa. "Ano bang nangyayari saating dalawa. Para tayong mga gago dito." Ani Inara. "Hindi ko rin naman alam kung ano ang nangyayari. Basta ang alam ko ay nag aayos tayo para sa birthday ng mother in law ko." Sagot niya.

After a while, Inara suddenly smiled to herself.

Then Roscoe noticed this kind of attitude and faced her immediately. "Hey, why're you smiling, may problema ba?" He asked. Then Inara lowered down her head and intertwined both of her hands on her hips.

"Nothing, though. I'm just happy."

"You're happy because?" Roscoe asked with a hint of confusion. "I'm happy because after all these years, your relationship with Yrozze never faltered just once. Kahit na ang dami niyong problema, even nung naging magkaibigan kayo ay talagang hindi nawawala yung understanding, yung love, yung care at yung consciousness niyo sa isa't isa. Both of your dogmas are very profound, strong, impenetrable and vigorous. Sana ganyan rin ang taong makakasama ko soon." Aniya.

Roscoe tilted his head on the horizon and chuckled at her sight.

"I mean, its not imperative for me to do it. It just came off naturally, without me knowing it. Until now, it still feels...ethereal." He replied.

With the word that struck her the most, made her rose her brow in utter confusion. "What do you mean?" She asked her.

Then she saw him sigh.

"I guess I'll have to explain this." He replied.

Napadako ang ulo ni Roscoe sa isa sa mga upuang inihanda nila para sa mga bisita na ngayo'y matamang nakatayo sa isang lamesa kasama ng ibang mga upuan. Bigla siyang naglakad papunta doon at hinila ang isang upuan at saka umupo.

"Let's sit here." He commanded.

The latter nodded and also went to his proximity and pulled off a chair just beside him and placed it in front of him and she sat comfortably and started listening to him.

"You know, I'm still doubting Yrozze's love for me." He revealed.

"And why is that?" She asked.

"I...I'm still doubting his love because not only he is a philanderer at the past, I mean hindi ko naman masasabing womanizer siya noon pero parang pakiramdam ko ay gano'n siya by attitude. Hindi naman kami nagsasama tuwing gabi ng mokong na 'yun dahil lagi naman siyang may ginagawa kaya natatakot ako na baka dumating ang araw na lagi nalang siyang wala sa bahay.
