Stumble and Fall (AlyDen)

Chapter 15

Alyssa and Dennise move in to Cecille's (Alyssa's Aunt) house somewhere in Pasay.

"Dennise, I'll be having lunch with Kim, Ara and Rex. Gusto mo ba sumama? You'll get the chance to meet poging Rex. I'll be meeting also my new boss." Alyssa ask Dennise as she fixed herself in front of the mirror.

"No thanks. Maybe next time nalang. Go hang out with your friends and good luck sa meeting niyo ng boss mo. Dito nalang muna ako. Ella texted me by the way, she wants to see me. So, I told her your address kaya pupunta nalang daw siya dito mamaya. You don't mind naman diba?" Dennise answered.

"Yeah. I don't mind at all. Just tell her that wag ubusin yung laman ng fridge ha? It's okay with me na andito siya. I should go now. See you later! Uh, wag kang magpapapasok ng kahit sino ha? Si Ella lang papasukin mo. Pag hindi mo kilala, wag mo kausapin or papasukin. This is Manila Dennise." Alyssa said as she walk out of the door.

As Alyssa step outside the house. Tumayo siya sa side walk, nag aabang ng taxi. Hindi niya alam, there's a person who's watching her.

"Aly, kamusta si Dennise? Bakit hindi mo siya isinama? Marami pamandin sana akong ikwekwento sakanya." Ara ask.

Nairap nalang si Alyssa pero hindi niya ito pinahalata kay Ara, Rex at Kim.

"Who's Dennise? Am I missing something?" Rex added. He's eyebrows creased.

"Ahhh. Nagpaiwan. Kasama ko--" Alyssa was cut out by Kim.

"Siya yung hot girl na inuwi ni Aly. Crush nga ata ni Ara yun eh. Ikaw kase, puro si Therese nalang kasama mo. Sinundo namin sila Aly kahapon and wala ka. Alam mo bang nakakatampo ka na." Kim answered.

"Ikaw na pala ngayon si Aly, Kim?" Taas kilay na sabi ni Ara.

"Hindi ko alam na may spokesman na pala ako mga dude. haha" Napailing nalang si Alyssa but she felt a pinch in her heart ng sinabi ni Kim na may crush si Ara kay Dennise.

"Bakit ba ang dami kong kaagaw." Alyssa thought.

"Wow. Talaga? Sorry naman. Alam niyo namang I will do anything for Therese. Dapat nga pupuntahan ko siya ngayon eh. Nararamdaman kong malapit na niya akong sagutin. Nga pala, Bakit hindi mo siya isinama dito Dude?" Rex said to Alyssa.

"Ikaw talaga Rex, tama na yan. Baka umasa ka lang. Tandaan mo, wag ka masyadong sunod sunuran sakanya at baka ma-best friend zone ka. (Payo ni Alyssa) Nagpaiwan siya eh. May imimeet kase ako mamaya tungkol sa trabaho ko. I'm thinking about resigning and staying here in the Philippines for the mean time. Mga ilang buwan lang naman. May nag offer kase sakin ng trabaho dyan sa Makati." Nagulat sila Ara, Kim at Rex sa biglaang pag resign niya.

"Sure kana ba dyan dude? Biglaan ata yang naisip mo." Nag aalalang tanong ni Kim.

"Paano si Dennise? Diba business partner mo yun? Edi pag nag resign ka babalik na ng Florida yun!" Ara said in shock.

"Oo mga dude, sure na ako. Yung company kase na kumukuha sakin maganda ang benefits, sayang naman yung pinag aralan ko ng ilang taon kung hindi ko magagamit. I already sign a resignation paper and nakapirma na ako sa contract ng kompanya na pagtatrabahoan ko. As of Dennise Ara, she'll be staying with me. Hindi ko naman talaga siya business partner eh." Alyssa explained. She told them all what really happened back in Florida.

Alyssa, Kim, Rex and Ara are now having lunch at Vikings Luxury Buffet MOA.

Hindi makapaniwala ang tatlo sa mga ginawa ni Alyssa for Dennise because she never did those things to Laura. Ni ipagtanggol ito noon ay hindi niya nagawa. Kwenento niya ang buhay ni Dennise.

"Oh so you mean, she's still engage? That's so lame men." Ara said and let out a heavy heave.

"Yup. She's still engage. That's why I brought her here in the Philippines with me. And by the way, Dennise is the one who saw your underwear in my living room Ara. hahaha Nakakahiya ka." Alyssa then burst in laugh.
