Kaven
Tulala akong nakatingin sa pinto nang coffee shop. Habang katabi ko naman ang dalawa, Ciaro and Kian. Ramdam ko ang bawat titig na binabato nila ngunit hindi ko sila magawang lingunin. I had been working since morning, kahit trabaho nila ako na ang gumawa to kill my boredom, and with an ugly feeling creeping inside me. Hindi ko alam kong bakit pero kanina pa ako kinakabahan.
"Oh, cape." Tumingin ako kay Kian nang abutan nya ako nang cafe sa cup. Ngiwing inilingan ko ito he's been feeding me a coffee since I came back from vacation. Kaya siguro madalas akong pinapalpitate, kakakape ko 'to.
Malapit na mag hapon marami-rami narin ang pumapasok na customer most of them are teenager, they somehow hangout here kasi may free wifi.
Kuya jugs install a wifi here for business entertainment, pero bago ka maka-avail is you need to buy a coffee and we'll give you one hour free wifi, if for workers naman na nakikigamit if you want to have a long hours of free wifi you need to buy coffee and desert for 2 hrs wifi. Kian was the one who came up with this idea kasi mas nalalamangan na kami nang ka kompetensya namin sa tapat, so we needed a new strategy for the business to grow.
"Ano bang problema mo kasi, wag mong sabihing wala, basang basa kana namin Kav, mag dalawang taon na tayong magkakasama," Kian said as he handed the coffee he was holding to Ciaro.
"Love life nya siguro hindi na kasi sya sinusundo nang jowa nya." I glared at Ciaro because of the nonsense he was spouting.
"What?" I rolled my eyes and leaned against the counter. It had only been 2 days, tsaka sabi ni Noah nag ka emergency daw sa kanila.
"Jowa? Si Naih? Did they get back together?" Kian said, atsaka naguguluhang nakatingin sa amin.
"Gago late kana sa balita, may bago nang jowa si Kaven remember yung kinuwento ko sayong kasama nyang magbakasyon? Ayon iyon."
Wow ang galing-galing namang author ni Cairo, detalyado ang emahenasyon nya. Anong jowa? Jowa ko na ba si Noah?
I averted my gaze from them, kagat labing tumingin ako sa pinto nang coffee shop. I jolted when the coffee shop door opened. I thought it was Noah because he usually showed up at this time, but to my disappointment, it was another customer.
"Kav ako na dyan, doon ka muna dyan, sa kusina ka muna, can you check the supply if complete pa. Cairo go to the customer great them." Kian said na kinakunot ko nang noo, okay naman 'yong ingredients kanina nang i-check ko. He even push me towards the kitchen door kaya wala akong nagawa kundi pumasok doon.
I double check the supplies para hindi ko ulit makalimutan I even list down nang mga wala na at kaunti nalang.
Nang makalabas ako, ay busy sila sa pasalubong sa mga customer and Kian is busy making coffee, Cairo is the one escorting the customer. I went to counter when I saw Kian finish making coffee. I look at the name written in cup at isa-isa iyong binigkas sa micro to called the one who'd buy.
"Katelyn" I called. This was the last one, cause I think wala nang pumasok since this Katelyn entered.
"Hi! It's mine." She said as kinuha nya ang kapeng inaabot ko sa kanya.
"You kinda looks familiar." She said habang tutok ang tingin sa akin. Kaya kinunutan ko 'to nang noo.
Andami namang may familiar sa akin. I'm not that even known, me myself know that I'm a house person, and hate socializing, it's just my works involved socializing. I mastered hiding my true emotion when I'm in front of customer. Well that's how attendant should be.
"Anyway nevermind." Umiling nalang ito tsaka tumalikod.
"Do you know her?" Kian asked as he sat down next to me. I just shrugged in response.
"Katelyn Gomez, kilala yan sa school namin, she's pretty no?" Kai commented, looking at Katelyn.
"That's his unrequited love, sorry, she doesn't like guys," Cairo joked.
"Well she's also known caused she's in relationship with the daughter of city mayor of La Tierra." Cairo added. La Tierra? Tumingin ako doon sa Katelyn na tinutukoy nila, she seemed busy with her phone, probably talking to someone.
"What's the name of her girlfriend?"
Impossible. I mean maybe Dana has a sister.
"It's--- wait someone's calling." Cairo said as he went outside to answer his phone. The coffee shop door opened and more customers come in, kaya doon nalipat ang atensyon namin ni Kian.
It's already 9, magsasara kami after 10, kaya nagsisimula na kaming mag ayos nang mga gamit sa loob nang coffee shop. Hindi ko na mabilang kong ilang ulit ang ginawa kong pag hikab. Hindi na ata ako sanay na hindi natutulog nang maaga. I felt like my body might collapse at any moment due to exhaustion.
I took jeep pauwi sa condo kasi ako ni Noah tumutuloy, hindi ko alam kong paano kami nauwi sa gantong set up. It's just nagising nalang ako most of my clothes are all inside his closet. Sinimulan narin kasing parentahan nang may-ari ang dating apartment na tinutuluyan ko.
I entered the password at his condo and went in. My phone beeped, indicating a message. It was from Noah, saying 'I miss you,' 'I love you,' and 'goodnight.'
I took a half bath, wearing Noah's bathrobe I sat at the bed look at my phone. He said he can't call that's why hanggang message muna daw sya. He didn't explain the reason. Every time I asked him about it, he would either cut me off or change the topic. Napabuntong hininga ako at lumapit sa closet to choose clothes to wear.
Nang makahiga sa kama ay parang biglang naglaho ang pagod na naramdaman ko mula kanina. I couldn't sleep anymore. Simula nang bumalik kami came from Noah province at simula nang hindi sya maka-uwi dito sa condo. I couldn't sleep as if his presence was the reason I couldn't. Without him by my side, I couldn't sleep; my body seemed to long for Noah's warmth.
Another sleepiness I guess.
A/N: siningit ko lang talaga to, subrang busy ko talaga this month. Kung graduate na yung iba ako ito preparing for finals palang.
