Ciela's POV
"I'm not free today." sabi ni Lei na ikinatigil ko.
"What? We literally made time for this appointment. Did you know how much important time is for us? We should've attended more important appointments but we choose to go here and your telling us that your not available?!" hindi ko mapigilang sigaw kay Lei.
"Yeah. I know how important time is for everyone. Kaya sinasabi ko na hindi ako available today." mahinahong sabi niya bago sinimulan ang pagimpake ng gamit.
Malakas akong napabuntong hininga at nilingon siya.
"When will you be available?" tanong ko.
"I don't know. Just give me your number and I'll text or call you if I'm available. I have an important matter to attend to." casual na sabi niya.
He handed me his phone as I typed my number. Ibibigay ko na sana ito sa kanya ng matigilan ako.
Hindi bat parang isa 'to sa mga paraan niya para makuha number ko?
"What?" tanong niya nang mapansing hind pa ako bumibitiw sa phone.
Tumikhim ako bago ito binitawan at naguguluhang kinuha niya naman ito at ibinulsa.
Masyadong nagooverthink lang siguro ako.
Nilagpasan niya ako bago lumabas. Napabuntong hininga nalang akong sumunod sa kanya palabas.
"Hey kumusta daw?" bungad ni Parisa sa akin na nagaantay sa hallway.
"He's busy today. Sabi niya magtetext nalang daw siya kapag available yung schedule niya."
"Wait. Akala ko ba it has been already settled that today is your appointment?"
"Sudden errands ata." I shrugged.
"Weird. Also I heard this is a new opened cafe malapit lang dito. Let's go there kaya and try their menu." pagyaya ni Parisa na ikinatango ko.
I am really eager to finish this issue. Pakiramdam ko patagal ng patagal mas nagiging madumi ang pangalan ko sa industriya ng pagmomodelo.
I still couldn't believe that my own father would do a animalistic behavior against his own daughter.
"Hi, caramel frappe and a latte macchiato please." Parisa ordered on the counter before finding a seat near the window.
"It's nice here. I like the design and aura of this place. Nakaka relax. Starbucks is getting crowded and madalas it's taking so long sa orders my gosh," sabi ni Parisa na ikinatawa ko.
Hindi nagtagal dumating na din yung order namin.
"Masarap," commento ko na ikinatango ni Parisa.
Mine was the latte macchiato while hers was the caramel frappe.
"It's masarap! This is my new fav na," kinikilig na aniya habang nakangiti.
I chuckled. There is just a child energy sometimes Parisa would let out. Despite her intimidating aura, she is nice as an angel.
Her kindness is always so pure and getting to know her more would make you realize that she is not the way she looks.
Parisa always has this intimidating with a resting bitch face. Her siren eyes and sharp features would frighten you but whenever she smiles you would see her pure angelic soul.
Napatigil ako sa kakaisip nang maagaw ng atensyon ko sa dalawang taong biglang pumasok ng cafe.
Agad na napakunot ang noo ko nang makita si Lei kasama yung babae sa may parking lot ng airport.
