Complete story is available in Epub/EbookSabay na kami ni Rais umalis ng bahay at hinatid nya na ako sa trabaho.
"Kamusta ang trabaho mo sa fast-food?" Tanong ni Rais habang nakahinto kami sa stoplight.
"Nakakapagod tumayo." Natawa pa ako. "Pero enjoy naman dahil may nakikilala akong bagong kaibigan, pandagdag experience kung sakaling matanggap ako as chef sa cruiseship."
This time napasulyap si Rais sakin. "Ah so you are going abroad?"
"Kung papalarin." Nahihiya ko na sabi. Baka mabigo ako eh. "Para sa pangarapn namin ni Mama."
"I'm sorry about your mother." Malumanay na sabi ni Rais sakin.
I know my sister told her about it. I'm not even surprised kung marami ng nachismis si Ate Kate sa kanya.
May pagkamarites din kasi yon.
At umandar na ulit kami. No one's talking but it's not awkward or whatever - to be honest i feel secure with Rais.
"May gagawin ka ba mamaya?" Tanong ni Rais sakin.
Napaisip naman ako. "Aside sa pagbabake ng order mo, wala naman."
She turns to me. "Forget about it."
"How can i not?" Natawa ako. "You already paid for it tapos may malaki ka pang binili na oven."
"Doesn't matter." At hininto nya sa harapan ng pinagtatrabahuhan ko ang Ferrari. "So, are up for tonight?"
Ako na medyo slow. "Ha?"
"Let's have dinner?" Sabi ni Rais na titig na titig sa mukha ko.
"Like a date?" I asked.
Rais beautiful face breaks into smile. "Yes, like a date Zoe."
Another date with Rais.
"Of course." I take the opportunity as soon possible.
Wala din namang reason para tumanggi.
Deep down inside me i know i have a crush on Rais. Wala namang masama don diba? Girl crush - and it's normal. But the question is paano kung pinapaasa lang ako ng babae na to?
You know, Rais have it all. She probably get everything she wants including me tapos kapag nakuaha nya na ang puso ko biglang igoghost.
Oh just shut up Zoe.
Let's see first.
Pagpasok ko sa trabaho a nakatingin sakin lahat. Now i wonder what happened.
Nilapitan ko si Kurt na nagpiprito ng mga fries. "Hey Kurt."
He turn to me. "Oy Zoe, may duty ka pala ngayon."
"Oo eh." Then i ask him. "Bakit parang nakatingin sakin lahat?"
Ang weird kasi eh.
At sumeryoso ang mukha ni Kurt. "Nagresign kasi si Venus."
"What? Why?" I'm so surprise.
Medyo inilapit ni Kurt ang mukha sakin. "Sabi nya lang ay dahil sayo."
"At bakit dahil sakin?"
Natawa si Kurt. "I don't know Zoe pero.." Ayan tayo sa pabitin eh. "Tinanggal daw talaga sya at Hindi nagresign." Lalo lang akong naguluhan. "So anong nangyari kagabi?"
And i explain to Kurt what Venus did to me. Of course he can't believe it - dahil kilala si Venus na desienteng tao.
I work a little in dismay and dishearten because of what happened.
