Our Love On Spring

Chapter 31

JIRO

Are they already married? But... there's a lot of reason why could they be same surname, right? 

Same age, both Veronilla...

"Jiro."

If they are not married, they could be...

"Jiro, I have something to tell you."

So, I am still not sure if they really are married. But what if they are? Hindi ako maninira ng relasyon. I grew up well mannered, there's no way I could something like that.

Can I flirt with her, tho? No... it's still—

"Jiro, ano ba?!"

"Eh?" Napaigtad ako at napahawak sa dibdib. "Ano ba, Thadz, nanggugulat ka!" 

Kunot-noo siyang tumingin sa akin, halos hindi na maipinta ang mukha niya. "Ikaw pa may ganang magalit. Makailang beses na kitang tinawag!" 

Napakamot na lang ako sa batok at nag-iwas ng tingin. "Spill." 

Unti-unti akong napalingon kay Thadz habang sinasabi niya ang plano niya. Napakurap ako at napanganga. 

"E-eh?!" 

SANYA

"Thank yo—" 

Nawala bigla sa pandinig ko ang sasabihin sana ng cashier namin. My heart thump when someone pulled me in my dark themed cafè.

"Fu—" 

"I'm sorry." 

I blinked upon seeing Thadz. "The hell? What do you need with me?"

Napakamot siya ng batok. It seems like he's now shy after dragging me all of a sudden. It almost gave me a heart attack!

"So..." napaupo siya kaya napaupo na rin ako. "I actually need someone who can handle kids, but you know... I really don't trust other person."

Napataas ang kilay ko, "there's Jiro."

He stopped for a moment then shrugged his shoulder, "yeah, there's Jiro." He sighed, "just this one, Sanya. Kaya naman na nila Kiyo dito, they already grew up."

"I just can't leave my Cafè, Thadz." I said in a matter of fact tone. "This is my own, even if Kiyo and others are trusted employee of this Cafè, I can't just let it go for some..." nahinto ako at sinenyas ko siya, "for some... you know, for your—"

"Yeah, I get it, Sanya." Mukhang pinagsakluban na siya ng langit at lupa. I am now kind of guilty but I just can't let my employee run my Cafè without me. "But will you still say that even though Peyton is included in—"

"What?!" Nagsalubong ang kilay ko. "Are you saying you accepted Peyton and now you can't handle him? Are you really running—"

"Hay, hindi mo pa kasi alam ang io-offer ko, Sanya." Kita ko pang napailing siya. "If you're really concern to Peyton, you can go with me." Tumayo na siya kaya tumayo na rin ako. "But if you want someone..." he looked at me, "someone that can't be trusted to handle them, then don't go with me."

Parang ine-emphasize niya pa na can not be trusted. Is it my fault he have a lesser manpower than I do in my Cafè? He should start hiring people. Plus, there's Jiro. What's this all about, huh?

Napailing na lang ako at sumunod na sa kaniya. I would be damned if Peyton got in an accident if I don't know what's going on. That's Peyton afterall.
