CHAPTER 11

"I'm home "bati ko sa kanila pag uwi ko

"Come join us "tawag ni Mama sakin ng kakain pa lang sila ng dinner

"You've been out lately Four.Make sure hindi ka gunagawa ng kung ano - anong
bagay lang remember hindi na lang Liu ang pangalang nakakabit sayo hindi pa man kayo kasal ni Ark dala mo na ang pangalan ng mga Cheng "imik ni Papa ng makaupo ako sa dinning table

"Ahh-hhmmm Son how's the preparation going ?is everything ready?The Tinghun ceremony is in a few days "imik ni Mama

"Hhmm everything is ready Ma we are just waiting for the day of the Tinghun "sagot ko dito

"How about your relationship with Ark ?"pagtatanong pa ni Papa

"Maayos naman po although there's still some times na hindi pa ako komportable lalo na kung kaming dalawa lang "sagot ko dito

"Four ,ano pa bang problema ?Ark is a good man came from a presentable and noble family what more do you want?"

"Yeah he is indeed came from a presentable and high name family but what's the point of that if he can't even be responsible person.Did you know what just happened?We should go and check the venue but he didn't came and I just wait at the hotel until night umulan pa wala akong masakyan kasi namatay ang phone ko at hindi ko matawagan ang driver .Buti na lang may nakita akong masasabayan  pauwi "paliwanag ko dito

Flashbacks

📩Four : Ark where are you I've been calling you answer your phone
📩Four :Did you forget about the appointment we have ?
📩Four:Ark are you still coming ?I'm at the hotel already and it's getting late . Where the hell are you ?
📩 Four: It's Dark now and it's raining uuwi na ako . You should atleast call me na hindi ka na makakapunta

After waiting for almost 2hours sa lobby nag dilim na at hindi parin dumating si Ark nagsimula na din umulan at na lobat na ang cellphone ko kakatawag sa kanya pero hindi pa din ito sumagot kaya nag desisyon na akong umuwi

Nag hihintay ako ng masasakyan pero dahil sa lakas ng ulan ay ang hirap sumakay .Hindi ko na rin naman matawagan ang driver dahil wala na talagang battery ang cellphone ko

Sa tagal kong nakatayo sa labas ay nilalamig na ako dahil sa lakas din hangin kaya pumasok ako ulit sa loob ng hotel saktong pag pasok ko naman ay nakasalubong ko si Nhai na palabas ng hotel na mukang galing sa isang meeting

"We will go first Mr .Cheng . It's good working with you "paalam ng kasama nito

"Yeah sure Mr .Adam thank you very much .Take care "paalam din ni Nhai dito

"What are you doing here Four ?"pagtatanong nito

"Ahhh I suppose to check the venue is the decorations is already okay but your brother didn't come I keep on calling him but he didn't pick up "paliwanag ko dito

"Ohhh he must be busy "sagot lang nito

"Maybe "

"Hhmm ahhmm excuse me my car is here I need to go now "paalam nito

"Gio -ahh I mean Nhai .Can you give me a lift my phone is dead and I can't call my driver if it's okay but if not okay lang I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable"sambit ko dito

"No it's okay come I'll drop you off "imik nito bago ako pinaunang lumabas hangang sa makasakay kami ng kotse nya

After how many months of not seeing each other since we left the island and since a complicated things between me,him and his brother start this is the first time na magsolo kaming mag kasama na kaming dalawa lang
