Padabog ko na lang isinarado ang laptop. Lagot siya sa akin kapag nakita ko siya. On the other hand, Faye seemed to have done cleaning when I turned to face her; she didn’t say anything else, but she was still glancing at me.
“Next time kumain ka muna sa inyo para hindi ako uncomfortable kapag kumakain ako,” sabi ko at huminga ng matalim.
“Yes, sir,” mahinang tugon niya, kulang na lang hindi ko marinig.
“Good.” She cleared her throat, sumisinghot na rin.
I was slowly looking at her. She was busy cleaning her mouth. Hindi niya man lang sabihin na gutom na gutom siya ay nakikita ko naman sa mga galaw niya. I sighed.
Should I buy her food?
Argh.
You don’t need to feel sorry, Rome Wilson. It’s her fault. She hurt you. She left you. She replaced you.
Damn it. Ako? Pinagpalit sa matanda? That was embarrassing.
Dumating na si Regina dala-dala ang mga pagkain na pinabili ko sa kanya. Mabuti naman at hindi nakasunod ng tingin si Faye sa amoy ng pagkain. Napapatitig si Regina sa kanya ngunit bumaling din kaagad sa akin.
“Put it on my table and tell Thaliya to make a prototype of the new dishes so that I can taste it and make it official in the Restaurant before they release and sell it,” utos ko.
“Right away, sir.” I wasn’t looking at her, but the only indication that she was gone was the sound of her heels slowing down.
I hold a restaurant of my own. Even though I’m not very skilled in the kitchen, I taste the food before it’s served. I’m not a cook, but I do know how to taste.
There aren’t many meal options at that restaurant because it is very new—it has only been open for a year and a half. However, especially at night, that eatery is a favorite among the patrons. It is being crowded out.
My floating mind was cut off when a noisy person entered suddenly, we both stared at the entrance door. He was stunned when he saw the woman who abruptly wiped her tears at the side.
“Faye Reagon?” Xino clarified. Kaagad namang tumugon ang isa, as if they are close. “Wow! What a reunion, ha-ha!”
“Hello,” she answered to Xino. I rolled my eyes to avoid her shy gaze as she stared at me.
Alam niya si Xino. When she was my wife, the two of them became friends also.
Xino came over to me silently. He used his thumb to gesture backward to Faye.
“Buti nandiyan siya kaagad?” bulong niya, enough for me to hear, pero napapansin ko siyang dahan-dahan na dumudukot sa kinakain ko kaya’t hinampas ko ang kamay niya.
“Akin ‘yan,” pandadamot ko at inilayo sa kanya ang mga pagkain.
“Kagat lang!” Reklamo niya. “Pero bakit nga nandito na siya kaagad? Ganun mo ba siya kamiss para i-hired ‘yan right away?” Malokong dagdag niya.
“Excuse me? No more questions,” I cut his curiosity. Napakamot na lang siya ng ulo. “Sisirain mo na naman araw ko eh,” tulad nang pagsira ni Faye.
“Pahingi naman! Ang dami mong binili, madamot kang mamigay. Ako nga ilang babae na binigay ko sa ‘yo wala namang thank you,” may tampu-tampuhang sabi niya at sumukob sa mesa pero hindi rin inaalis ang tingin niya sa mga pagkain.
“Ang drama mo, nakakainit ng ulo.” I rolled my eyes. “Alam mo nakakabwesit ka eh ‘no? Sa lahat-lahat ng ipopost mo sa akin, ‘yung pang nakanganga ako!” Kinotongan ko siya nang mabilis. Tumunog naman ito kaya parang ako ‘yung nasaktan sa nagawa ko.
