"sure ate Colet" I said and chewed my food
after finishing our food niligpit na namin ni ate Colet and as usual ako nag hugas ng plates, kunwari mabait na tao, after washing the dishes iniwan ko muna si ate Colet sa living room kase I need to take a shower and do my skin care, I hate germs hehehe
after taking a shower, etc I went to the living room kung nasaan si ate Colet and she was there sitting and naka focus sa phone, kausap ata si Loi, nagpaalam ako sakaniya na may pupuntahan akong event kaya baka madaling araw na'ko makakauwi and she just nodded and told me to take care
pumunta ako kung saan yung event and I showed my ticket sa guard na naka bantay, lumoob na ako at nakita ko si Jho nakaupo sa may audience area, tinabihan ko siya at while waiting we're talking
after how many hours nag start na yung runway, the new models walked next was Stacey and sumunod naman si Aiah, ganda talaga ni ma'am swerte naman ng mapapangasawa neto
I took the pictures same with Jho at natapos na din pagkatapos ng madaming oras, I went backstage para tignan kung anong ganap doon kase 'di pa lumalabas si ma'am Aiah, si Jho naman kasama na niya si Stacey and uuwi na sila
I went backstage at bungad sa'kin na umiiyak si ma'am Aiah, pagod ata kawawa naman soon to be baby ko joke, nilapag ko agad yung camera ko at nilapitan ko si ma'am, I was about to ask if she's okay pero bigla niya akong niyakap ng mahigpit
"dito ka lang please" she said sobbing, I hugged her back and was stroking her back para kumalma
"I'm here na po ma'am tahan na" I whispered and hindi parin siya kumakalma
"I'm tired Lim, wala pa akong maayos na pahinga" lalo siyang umiyak pagkasabi niya
"naintindihan kita ma'am meron po talaga yung time na mag bbreakdown tayo sa pagod, okay lang mag breakdown ma'am naintindihan kita ilabas mo lang yan, maya maya mararamdaman mo na 'di na mabigat pakiramdam mo" I said and medjo kumalma siya
she broke the hug at pinunasan ko naman luha niya with my panyo, I lift her chin
"normal lang po mag breakdown ma'am, lahat po talaga ng bagay nakakapagod nowadays, don't think of giving up dahil sa pagod ka na, I'm here anytime you need me ma'am" I said and smiled at her
after how minutes kumalma na siya and thanked me kase I was with her noong kelangan niya ng makakausap
"alam ko may hangover ka pa ma'am, let's buy juice outside promise mawawala yung hangover mo ma'am" she looked at me and nodded
we packed her things na para maka alis na kami dito
"ma'am saan ko po ilalagay 'tong mga gamit mo?" I asked her while carrying her stuffs
"sa parking lot nalang, andun yung driver ko" she said and pumunta kami sa parking lot
I put her things inside the van and after putting her things sa van pinauna na niya yung driver niya sa bahay niya
"let's go grab some juice" she said and smiled at me, biglang bumilis tibok puso ko nung ngumiti siya
"a-ah sige po ma'am tara po" nautal kong sabi at pumunta kami sa 7/11 para bumili ng juice at tumambay muna doon kase ayaw niya pa daw umuwi kahit pagod siya
"can I have your number Lim?" she broke the silence, crush mo ata ako ma'am hinihingi mo number ko ahh, agad ko naman binigay number ko
"I'll send you my picture and save it sa contacts mo" saad niya at nag send siya ng pic niya, ganda grabe kamukhang kamukha ni mama mary
"what about you Lim?" sinabi niya at na curious naman ako
"ha? ano po yun ma'am?" sabi ko at tumawa siya
"you're zoning out Lim, sabi ko 'di ka ba magsesend ng pic mo so I'll save you sa contacts ko" sabi niya, ayy akala ko naman magiging crush mo na ako
I saved her sa contacts ko at "my model" nilagay kong nn niya, cute 'no? love at first sight ata 'to eh, ilan na kaya nanligaw sa'yo, siguro swerte ng naging bf mo hayst kung ako sakanila 'di na kita pakakawalan
Aiah's POV
I saved her on my contacts and I put "my comforter" as her nn sa iMessage, I'm so happy na there's still someone who understands me, she's so poganda, I wonder where did she get her looks, is it her dad or her mom? their generation is beautiful
it's getting late na and I told her na umuwi na kami, at tumayo naman na kami sa pinag uupuan namin
"ma'am samahan na po kita antayin yung driver mo po" she said
"I'll book a taxi Lim, I'm sure tulog na yung driver ko kase madaling araw na" I said and opened my phone, mag bobook na sana ako but she offered na she'll hatid me nalang daw
"ganun ba ma'am, hatid na po kita" she said
"no need Lim nakakahiya"
"si ma'am naman, delikado mag book ng taxi sa gan'tong oras ma'am baka mamaya 'di mo namalayan holdaper pala yung taxi driver" she said, natakot ako sa sabi niya at agad ko naman dinelete yung app kung sa'n ako nag bobook ng taxi at pumayag nalang ako na ihatid niya ako
she drove me sa house ko at pinagbuksan niya ako ng door, she's so gentlewoman her lover is lucky, I said thank you and she smiled at me, 'di siya umalis hangga't 'di niya ako nakikitang lumoob ng bahay, when I went inside the house sumilip ako sa window and I saw her na sumakay sa car niya and umalis na
I texted her and said "take care Lim" and went to room to clean up after how many minutes she chatted back "I'm already home ma'am, goodnight" she replied and I reacted to her message and went to my bed
