JHOANA

"Ok lang. Ikaw, kumusta? Girlfriend mo?" kuya Otep at tinuro ako

"Ay h-hindi po, hindi po. Kaibigan lang po" agad kong sabi

"Ahhh pasensya na ha? Hehe ano na ulit pangalan mo?" kuya Otep

"Kuya, she's my friend. Jhoana uhhh, Jho ano na ulit surname mo?" Bea at bumulong siya sa last words niya

Aray ha. Aray. 🙄

"Jhoana Maraguinot, kuya hehe" I spoke for myself

"Nice meeting you, Jhoana. Ako si kuya Otep mo, and I'll be handling your future restaurant" kuya Otep

"Hello, I'm also Amara" Amara

"Hello Amara, ang cute mo naman hehe"

"Thank you" Amara







BEATRIZ

Natapos na ang short meeting namin ni Jho with kuya Otep. Since ginabi kami, what if kumain nalang kami sa labas

"Jho, where do you wanna eat for dinner? Kain nalang tayo sa labas"

"Ikaw bahala" Jho

"Ano ba gusto mo, uhmm fine dining or fastfood? Ikaw"

"Kahit ano, Bea" Jho

"Jho, walang kahit ano na pwedeng kainan" I chuckled

"Kahit ano diyan, ikaw na bahala" Jho

Why doesn't she seem in the mood? Nakatingin lang siya sa window niya

"Are you ok?"

"Oo naman" Jho

"Are you in the mood? Or maybe not?"

"May iniisip lang" Jho

"Mmmm ok. So, kahit saan nalang"

"Yeah" Jho

I saw a restaurant that looked like it was newly opened, ma try nga. Jho and I got off the car and went inside. There were quite a lot of people so Jho and I got in line at the cashier

"Good evening po! Ano po order niyo?" cashier

"Jho, ikaw na mag-order. Choose for my food na rin hehe"

So Jho ordered for us

"Ma'am may promo po kasi kami ngayon. If aabot po ng 1 thousand up yung bill niyo is may 5% off po kayo. Iaavail niyo po ba yung promo?" cashier to Jho

"Sure" Jho

"Ma'am paki sulat nalang po full name niyo dito" cashier to Jho

"Ako na"

The cashier was about to give me the paper nang sumulpot si Jho

"Ako na, miss, hindi niya alam full name ko eh" Jho

Now I know 😐







JHOANA

While we were waiting for our order to arrive, Bea and I were silent, nag pphone lang ako. Then suddenly, she broke the silence

"Uy, Jho" Bea

I raised my eyebrows

"Nagtatampo ka pa ba?" Bea
