[Via’s POV]
One week.
One week before engagement party.
Malalaman na ng buong mundo ang pagmemerge ng company ng Mercado at Lopez.
Hay.. Pag nangyari yun, kailangan ko na maging prim and proper.
Pero okay lang, at least siya yung lalaking kasama ko.
“Ms. Mercado! Are you listening?”
“Ha?”
“Obviously, you’re not listening. Anyway, Mr. Smith wants to see you in his office.”
“Okay ma’am”
I looked at Gela for a second.
She just smiled and nodded.
Pagkarating ko sa office ni Mr. Smith.
Pinapasok ako agad ng secretary niya.
“Miss Mercado, I would just like to tell you that you are excuse in your afternoon class.” Sinabi sakin ni Mr. Smith habang hindi nakatingin sakin at nagsusulat.
“But why sir?”
Parang on cue, biglang may pumasok na sa isang lalaki sa office ni sir.
“I’m the one who excused you, Via” And smiled at me.
“You’re crazy Mr. Lopez.”
Yes, si Vincent Max Lopez lang naman ang nagexcuse sakin.
Bakit kaya ako ini-excuse nitong lalaking to?
Wala naman kaming naka-schedule na meeting for today ah.
Weird.
“You two may leave my office. I’m sort of busy.”
“Thanks Mr. Smith” we both said in unison and went out of the room.
“So Mr. Lopez, ano na naman ang meron at ini-excuse mo pa ko sa afternoon class ko?”
He smiled at me, his famous smiled.
I love it when he does that.
He’s too cute.
“We’ll be having our date today.”
“Sus, date lang—- WHAT?! DATE?! You really are crazy. Pwede namang mamayang hapon nalang yun e, after class.”
“That can’t be. Madami tayong kailangang gawin tsaka I miss you already.”
“Baliw ka. Anyway, I miss you too.”
“Hay nako, baka hindi pa natin matapos yung gagawin natin kung mag-uusap lang tayo dito. Ito oh.”
He handed me a paper bag.
I opened it.
It has a shirt, shorts, shoes, shades and a cap.
I gave him a weird look.
Like I’m telling him, ano-na-naman-tong-trip-mong-to look.
“Trust me. Just change first.”
Sinunod ko nalang ang gusto niya.
Syempre, wala rin naman kwenta kung makikipagtalo pa ko diba?
