Terrified

Chapter 9: Moments of Truth - Part 1 (Part 2 of 3)

It's a typical first date kind of talks with these reserved and shy giggles but with straightforward words that come out occasionally to give them thrills. There's more to talk about as they get to know each other deeper more than before, their hobbies, their passion such as music for Bianca while baking for Yumi, and a lot more to share for this long day. However, as they go on sharing talks and laughter that's getting louder as their topic proceeds, behind Bianca, walking out on a blind spot from their seat, Yumi sighted the least person she doesn't want to see for this last days of the years.

"Oh great... Thayfa." Yumi groaned she rolled her eyes showing how annoyed she is of his presence and it only took few seconds for the man to notice them as well.

"Look who's here, the bankrupt patissier!" An older woman mocked as she appeared behind Thayfa who wasn't given a chance to open his mouth to talk with Yumi first, not even to greet her.

Yumi raises an eyebrow and sniffles from her seat, "And yeah, look who's here too? A sugar mommy who's still chasing after a trash. I thought you guys broke up already, according to your man right here. He was even so proud about it, telling me like it's a breaking news."

"Yeah, and what about it? Are you jealous to see us together again?" The woman further taunted with that smirk that surely ticks off Yumi's nerves.

But Yumi didn't let herself be defeated as she returns a louder taunt, "Why should I be jealous? I threw that man away for a reason. And I don't pick a trash that's long rotten in someone else's care. Who would want a man who can easily throw you away just because of money?"

Thayfa had to step in as the woman is getting louder and might catch more attention than what they are getting as of the moment. Clearing things up, he looks down at Yumi and calmly tells her, "We're not getting back together. We're only together right now to formally end everything between us and I only returned her things. Trust me Yumi, I didn't know you'll be here too and I didn't mean any of this to happen."

"I'm not even asking for your explanation because whatever it is, I don't care. I don't even care if you get married in front of me. I will even bake your wedding cake if you want to." Yumi barked annoyingly and breathed heavy for she's starting to get worried for Bianca who has been quiet from across the table, concerned of what's going through her mind with this silence.

Bianca is confused of what's suddenly happening going on around her. She has no clue at first but when she heard Thayfa's familiar name she once knew from the café's staffs and she once overheard, that's when she sensed that their date is about to get ruined by their presence. She has the urge to step in between and interrupt them, take Yumi away and avoid them but because she's helpless in such situation, she can only sit there in a hush and let Yumi do the talks and it's frustrating her deep inside.

The woman was evidently pissed off because of Thayfa ruining the argument and let Yumi victoriously smirk at her embarrassment. Being competitive as she has always been when it comes to Yumi, later she took notice of the quiet Bianca and so she targets her, mocking, "By any chance, you must be Bianca Santos? It's so nice to meet you." She extended a hand for a handshake then she purposely gasps apologetically, "Oh no, I'm sorry. I forgot you cannot actually see me. My bad..."

Yumi had to stand up on this for she's going overboard. "Stop it! Don't dare you touch Bianca or else—"

"Or else what?" The woman cut her off and Yumi kept panting out her fury as she's controlling herself not to cause worse commotion inside this exclusive café. "You know Yumi, you should also watch your back and the people around you. Instead of being always hot-blooded towards me, why don't you watch out for pretentious people around you? They may look like a daydream but they are actually your worst nightmares. Don't be deceived." She giggled evilly and Bianca felt a shiver down to her spine as she knew she's being looked at.
