Chapter 41

Tinupad nga niya ang mga binitiwan niyang salita kanina. He didn't come near me, but he visited and dined in our restaurant around 7 a.m.

Halos matulala ako sa kaguwapuhan niya nang makita ko siyang prenteng naka-dekuwatro sa labas ng restaurant. Doon daw niya mas piniling kumain ayon sa waiter na nag-assist sa kanya.

Simpleng puting t-shirt at itim na boardshorts ang suot niya ngunit bakit ganoon? His hair was slicked back, which made him more striking. His neatly shaven beard gave him an impeccable look as well. Idagdag mo pa ang shades niyang itim, you could mistake him for a celebrity.

A coffee was in front of him while he was typing on his laptop. A turkey patty, a sunny side-up egg, and one slice of Spanish tortilla were on his plate. Tutok na tutok ang pansin niya sa laptop, hindi namamalayang halos lahat ng kababaihan ay nakatitig na sa kanya.

"Baka matunaw, sis," Nala said, giving me a teasing look.

Inirapan ko siya. Pumasok akong muli sa kusina. Sumunod siya habang hawak ang isang tray na wala ng laman.

"In fairness, ang guwapo ng ex-husband mo," she whispered at me. "Kung jojowain o totropahin, I'd go for pakakasalan." Humagikgik siya.

Pinanlakihan ko siya ng mata. "Tumigil ka, Nala. "Balik sa trabaho," strikto kong sabi.

"Yi! Affected!" pangbubuska niya sa akin sabay sundot sa underarm ko.

"Tss..." I just put on my poker face.

"Sanayin mo ang sariling nakikita siya para mawala na ang nararamdaman mo sa kanya tapos ako na ang bahala sa ex-husband mo."

Hindi ko siya pinansin ngunit patuloy siya sa pagsunod sa akin.

"Ang biceps, sis! Parang ang sarap maglambitin sa kanya kapag...oh...oh-"

Naeeskandalo ko siyang tinampal ng hawak kong notepad. "Tumigil ka nga!" gigil kong anas sa kanya ngunit mas lalo pa siyang tumawa. I walk around the kitchen and check the food that is being cooked.

Nilubayan na niya ako nang tawagin siya ng kapwa niya waitress.

Doon ako nakahinga ng maluwag. I check the temperatures in all coolers and freezers, as well as the food temperature.

I always do this from time to time to ensure that our food is safe to eat, and I always ensure that food is always cooked, cooled, chilled, or reheated properly to minimize the risk of harmful levels of bacteria in the food that we serve to the customers.

Sa tatlong taon kong pagtatrabaho rito ay nakailang beses ng may nangyaring food poisoning. Mabuti na lang at may mini-hospital kami rito kaya naaagapan. We have two doctors and four nurses on board every time.

Serenade of the Seas has 13 decks. At nasa deck 11, ang restobar na kinaroroonan namin. May adult pool sa harap ng pinto at may dalawang whirlpool sa bandang kaliwa ng pinto. It overlooks a panoramic view of the crystal-clear waters and stunning blue hues.

The sky was clear and blue, as if someone had erased all the melancholy from it. In the middle of the sky was the blazing sun. It showed the reflections of its scorching and splendid beauty. Because of the white t-shirt he was wearing, the beam of the sunrays threw themselves over Jacques' body as though he were glowing in the sun.

My head shook. I had to keep my eyes off him.
Doon siya nag-breakfast at halos malaglag ang panga ko nang makita ulit siya noong bandang alas dose ng tanghali. Ganoon din noong kinagabihan na. He sat again in his now-favorite spot. He would smile at me every time he saw me looking in his direction.

Pakiramdam ko'y pinili niya ang spot na iyon dahil nakikita niya ako sa loob ng kusina. Clear glass, kasi ang dingding ng restobar. Kung ano ang ginagawa namin sa loob ay nakikita ng lahat ng customer.

May pagkakataon namang ibinababa namin ang blinds, but we choose to open them the whole day and night.
