Chapter Eight

Mas nauna pang nag react yung puso ko kesa sa akin mismo.

"I'm sorry for the sudden kiss." He whispered in his husky voice.

I was sudden glued in my seat, paulit ulit sa tenga ko ang mga sinabi nya. How should I feel? How should I react?

"Ayeen,"

Kumurap ako at huminga ng malalim. I tried to pulled myself together but...

"Chino." I licked my lips. "nasabi ko na to, pero ayokong maging komplikado lahat."

"Hindi magiging komplikado lahat. No one's going to be blame."

Again, hindi ko talaga alam ang dapat na sabihin, o maramdaman. I sighed, inabot ko sya para yakapin. He casually wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I don't know what to say..."

Hinimas nya ang likod ko. "It's okay, just let me express myself, Ayeen."

Lumayo ako. "Paano yung sasabihin ng iba? I mean, you're still married."

"Let others think what they wanted to think." Hinalikan nya ang noo ko. "Sige na. Magpahinga ka."

Tumango ako at bumaba na. I waved at him, bumusina sya bago tuluyang umalis.

Tama ba? Mahal ko pa din si Chino. After that 7 years, I know that I will still crawl back to him.

Chino:
Morning, I'm off to shift

Ngumuso ako para maitago ang ngiti sa nabasa.

"Oh?"

Tinuwid ko bigla ang labi ko nang marinig si Ate Aya.

"Hm?"

"Kakain na. Ano pang tinatayo mo jan?"

Nilapag ko sa gilid ko ang cellphone. We uttured small prayer and proceed eating.

"Anong oras uuwi si Amethyst?"

"Gabi pa yun, Ma." Sagot ni Ate Aya.

I checked the medicine for mama bago kami umalis ni Ate. I headed straight to Home Gallery and welcomed by Slater.

"Anong ginagawa mo dito?"

He gave me a smile, kaya pala puro babae ang tao dito sa Home Gallery.

"Hulaan mo."

"Ginawa mo pa akong manghuhula?"

"Ali can't make it today. Nasa apartment sya."

"Manunuhog ka ng kaibigan!" I accused him.

"Gago oy hindi. Natalo kasi sya sa bet nila ni Nick, she needed to stay at our apartment. At hindi pa daw sya tapos sa ineedit nya kaya..." Tinapik nya ang dibdib nya. "substitute."

Hinayaan ko nalang sya at nagsuot na ng apron. Tumayo ako sa counter saktong pasok nung chick ni Slater. I smiled and greeted her.

"One salted caramel."

"Large, Ma'am?"

She nodded. Siniko ko si Slater at tinuro ang counter at tumayo sa timplahan ng kape.

"Kunin mo bayad ni Ma'am?"

She cleared her throat. "Shiloh."

Ginawa ko ang kape nya at sumulyap kay Slater. Walangya, pakiramdam ko na-awkward sya. Humanap ng upuan si Shiloh kaya tinulak ko ang tray sa harap ni Slater at nilagay doon ang order na kape at clubhouse sandwich.
