Now That I Have You

Chapter 14

-Regina-

We had so much fun in Japan, Narda is just freezing the whole time so I get to hug her, that's why I chose here, to be this close as much as possible before the dreaded 1 week of no Narda in the office.

Narda just enjoyed the food, she said it was very delicious, especially their ramen and I quote "Walang wala to sa mga instant noodles sa atin Regina" my gosh love, even the instant noodles here are better. I just laughed at her first experiences and I'm grateful that I'm the one she can share them with.

Her wondering eyes are just so pure and I wish I could be like that, but I was too tainted, maybe that's why we click so much, we are complete opposites of each other, minus the bad ones, and that! I will never make her get into it.

"Mahal may snow ba sa France"

"Yes, only in the north part, why do you ask?"

"Kaya pala sanay na sanay ka na sa lamig"

"Well, I get cold din naman sometimes, but unlike you, you're freezing," I said as I come closer to her and hugged her while we sip hot tea in the living room and looked at the falling snow

We are so peaceful at that time that I don't want to go back, but Maisha said everything is going well in the company and no effects whatsoever sa pag declare ko ng kasal namin ni Narda, pano naman kasi magkakaroon ng effects kung halos karamihan ako may-ari. My dad said that we must undisclosed the Valentina Corporation so that it won't affect any decisions for Vanguardia's. I haven't talked about the other company to Narda baka maoverwhelm lang siya.

"Mahal, since naman pagbalik natin ng Pinas eh hindi muna ako sa office mo, dun muna ako sa coffee shop, tulungan ko muna si Mara" ahhhh... the coffee shop, I forgot that she invested the money I gave her there, I'm proud that Narda finally get the sense to use it and put it where she can enjoy it, since madalas naman siya sa coffee shop, why not

"Yeah, at least I know where you are"

"Sabi ko naman sayo, hindi ako lalayo" she smiled that irresistable smile na hindi ko mahindian

We came back after a week of vacation and Dad missed us so he invited us for dinner when we returned, the dining table is full of laughter even if it was only the three of us, and the house has never been warmer now that Narda is with us.

-Narda-

Masayang masaya si Regina nung bumalik na siya from bathroom, eto papunta na siya sa kama na akala mo parang diyosa na bumaba sa lupa

"Why are you looking at me like that?" sabi niya sabay ngiti... sabihin ko ba?

"Ang ganda mo kasi eh" ay! namilipit lang naman ang lola mo

"Bulate yan teh?"

"Narda! stop it! You make me kilig then bigla mo kong babarahin, kainis ka!" ay jusme patay na patay ang ante... buti na lang sakin ha! ha!

-Regina-

Well of course I manage to give Narda the love she deserves that night kahit na minsan pinagtatawanan niya ko sa kaharutan ko but its okay because I want this week to be forgotten hindi pa man dumadating

-Narda-

"Mara! Dito muna ko for a week" sabi ko na excited kay beshiewaps

"Okay naman dito pero if insist mo, siyempre hindi naman kita itataboy" sabi niya na tumatawa

Meron na kaming dalawang bagong crew si Richard at Andrei. Si Richard ang bago naming barista, marami siyang experience kaya naman mas lalong sumarap ang mga coffee namin. Si Andrei naman training din siya as barista pero pag maraming customer napupunta siya sa pag aayos ng mga tables.
