"Alam mo Gia, you'll grow to love them as your own nadin, even yung mga kapatid ng step mom mo, sila na yung family mo ngayon and your cousins, related man or hindi" sabi saakin ni Mavs at ngumiti.
"Hmm ikaw Mavs, drama mo" sabi ko sakanya.
"Huy hindi ah, anyways have you talked to one of the Elizalde's since nawala si tita Nadia?" Tanong sakin Mavs.
"Mavs, alam mo namang tinatakwil nila si mommy dahil sa nagawa nya noon, and even ako kaya lang naman sila pumunta sa funeral para ipakita kay Lolo Hugo na they care about mommy, pero yung totoo hindi" sabi ko.
"How about the Araneta's?" Tanong nya.
"Nope, except kay Dad, tita Liza, tita Elvira and tita Pat" sabi ko.
"You'll get there" sabi sakin ni Mavs.
"And nga pala, baka naman may opening sa office nyo Mavs, I need a job" sabi ko sakanya.
"Bakit? Wala ka na bang pera?" Natatawang tanong sakin ni Mavs.
"No, of course kailangan ko ng pagkakaabalahan noh, I can't just stay there" sabi ko.
"Bakit hindi ka humingi ng job sa Daddy mo? Dami dami nyang kompanyang hawak, imposible naman na hindi ka bigyan nun" sabi saakin ni Mavs.
"I'll try to ask him later" sabi ko.
Fast forward
We're roaming around BGC when a guy suddenly called me
"Gia!" Sigaw nito sakin.
Lumingon naman ako sa likod ko to see kuya Alfy holding a ton of paper bags.
"Oh kuya? Nice seeing you here nag shopping ka?" Tanong ko.
"Ah oo, I bought a few things" sabi nya at tsaka tumingin kay Mavs.
"Ohh ok nga pala kuya this is Mavs best friend ko, Mavs si kuya Alfy panganay kong kapatid" pagpapakilala ko.
"Nice to meet you Mavs" sabi ni kuya Alfy at inilahad ang kamay nya kay Mavs.
Tinanggap naman ni Mavs iyon at ngumiti
"So ano? Tara dinner tayo! Treat ko" sabi samin ni kuya Alfonso.
"Sure! Mavs sama kana samin" aya ko kay Mavs.
"Nako wag na, uuwi nako may aayusin pa ako eh" pag decline sakin ni Mavs.
"Oh come on that can wait! Sama kana samin" sabi ni kuya Alfy.
"Oo nga Mavs, sama kana samin" sabi ko.
Wala naman na syang nagawa at sumama na samin, we went to Wolfgang stakehouse and got a table for three
"So, kamusta?" Tanong samin ni kuya Alfy.
"Ok naman kuya" sabi ko.
"Wala kang work today?" Tanong nya.
"I don't have work, kaka resign ko lang sa recent company na pinagtrabahuhan ko" sabi ko.
"Gi, I'll just go sa restroom ha" bulong sakin ni Mavs at umalis.
"Gusto mo ng work?" Tanong sakin ni kuya Alfy.
"Oo, if pwede sana mag a-ask ako sayo or kay daddy" sabi ko.
"Ako na magsasabi kay dad, tamang tama naghahanap kami ng bagong CMO sa Araneta properties" sabi nya.
"Ah ok, thankyou" sabi ko.
"But I have a favour" sabi nya.
"Ano yun?" Tanong ko.
"Is your friend single? Reto mo naman ako sakanya" he said and my eyes widen.
"What? Are you out of your mind?" Tanong ko.
"No, nga pala how old is she? Kasing edad mo lang ba sya?" Tanong ni kuya Alf.
"No, she's 4 years older than me" sabi ko.
"So ilang taon nga?"tanong nya sakin.
"Do the math!" Sabi ko.
"She's 34? No kids? No husband?" Tanong nya.
"Wala, kaya nga andami nyang time to waste with me kasi she's single as heck" sabi ko.
"Hi sorry it took a while" sabi ni Mavs as she seated beside me.
"So... let's order shall we?" Tanong ni kuya Alfy.
"Sure" sabi ko naman.
Nagorder na kami ng food and after 15 minutes it was served, while eating we did little chit chats mostly kuya Alfy and Mavs ang nag uusap, na o-op nako sa dalawang to ha.
"So Mavs, no plans of settling down?" Tanong ni kuya Alfy.
"As of now, wala let's just say I haven't found the right guy yet" sabi ni Mavs and smiled at kuya Alfy.
"Hmm reasonable alam mo same, it's hard to find someone to settle down with, in my case I have a son pero he's with his mom right now" sabi ni kuya Alfy.
"May anak ka kuya?" Tanong ko sakanya.
"Yes.." sabi nya.
"Wow, you have a plan on telling Mavs tapos sakin wala?" Tanong ko.
"Ah sorry naman" sabi nya at tumawa.
"Oohh how old is he?" Tanong ni Mavs.
"He's 12" sabi ni kuya Alfonso.
"Oh that's nice" sabi ni Mavs.
"When will I meet him?" Tanong ko kay kuya Alfy.
"Soon" matipid nyang sabi habang nakatingin padin kay Mavs.
Fast forward
I just got home, it's currently 8:30 in the evening. Hinatid ko muna si Mavs sa apartment nya at tsaka ako dumeresto sa forbes, sabi ni kuya Alfy he'll spend the night daw muna sa bahay nila dad to spend time with me, spend time with me his face. Alam ko he will just nag me about Mavs, hindi pa ba sya kuntento na halos sila na nga magkausap buong dinner, mutuals na sila sa social medias and may number na sila ng isa't isa.
I parked the car and bumaba na, I opened the trunk to get the things na napamili ko kanina.
I knocked on the door and a katulong opened it immediately naman.
"Good evening ma'am" bati nito sakin.
"Good evening din, nandyan na ba sila daddy?" Tanong ko.
"Opo ma'am, kararating lang din po nila kani-kanina" sabi sakin nito.
"Ahh, asan sila ate?" Tanong ko.
"Nasa living room po ma'am" sabi sakin nito.
I just nodded and went to the living room to greet them
"Oh, Gia san ka galing?" Tanong sakin ni daddy as she stood up to give me a kiss.
"Ah lumabas lang po with a friend, asan ang tita Irene?" Tanong ko.
"Kaka akyat lang sa kwarto" sabi naman ni Dad.
"Ah sige dad, akyat na din ako to freshen up and also babatiin ko si tita Irene" sabi ko.
"You should, when we got home ikaw ang unang hinahanap eh" natatawang sabi ni daddy.
