Hotel De Amore

Chapter 9

Kabanata 9

“Good morning, Amelia. Consistent ang ganda ng ngiti natin dyaan ah?” may panunudyong ani ni Ms. Venice pagkapasok ko sa Reception area.

“Syempre ma'am para sa mga guest at visitors natin, gagandahan ko ang ngiti ko” sagot ko naman at nakarinig kaagad ako ng pag-angal mula kay Raine na kakarating lang rin.

“Suss, para kay sir Jandro kamo! Simula noong nag dinner date kayo ang ganda na niyang ngiti pero wala ka pa ring sinasabi sa amin tungkol doon” may panunumbat na ani ni Raine na nagpa-irap na lamang sa akin at saka bumalik sa utak ko ang nangyari ng gabing iyon.

Wala namang masyadong magandang nangyari maliban na lang doon sa flowers which is the reason kung bakit ako nakangiti, ginawa ko kasing motivation ang bulaklak na bigay niya. First time ko kasing makatanggap noon kaya siguro ganito ako kasaya.

“Huy! Tulalang nakangiti ka nanaman dyaan. Mukha kanang praning sa lagay mo” may halong pang-aasar na ani ni Raine kaya hindi ko na lamang siya pinansin at umayos na rin ng upo dahil may number one guest na kami.

“Good day ma'am, what can we do for you?” Ms. Venice greeted politely na nagpalawak ng ngiti ng ginang.

“My apo is doing well huh” the lady muttered as she roamed her eyes around.

Nagtinginan naman kaming tatlo but we just ended up shrugging our shoulders.

“Book me a high class luxury room” simpleng ani nito at saka bumaling ng tingin sa akin, “Young lady, could you be the one to bring me there?” ani nito sa akin at nagtinginan naman kaming apat saka ako tumango and gesture to her to follow me.

We enter the elevator at bago pa man sumira iyon ay may kamay na humarang mula sa labas bago lumitaw si sir Zack.

He smiled at me pero noong lumipat ang tingin niya sa katabi ko ay kaagad na nanlaki ang mata niya.

“Good morning po madam” Sir Zack greeted and bowed his head a bit. Bahagya rin siyang gumilid at saka ko nakita si Jandro who also looked shocked when he saw the lady I am with.

“Abuela? Why are you here?” Sir Jandro asked the lady as he kissed her cheeks. “This is also my hotel, ijo. I am allowed to be here as long as I want” the lady answered him.

I guess I shouldn't be here? Their conversation seems confidential and related yata sila.

Napatingin ako kay sir Zack na halatang nakikinig lang rin, ang seryoso ng mukha e, tsismoso.

“You didn't inform me that you were coming, I should have told Zack to fetch you up” He muttered but the old lady just shook her head. “I am okay ijo, I am here as your guest so treat me as one” she muttered as she tapped Jandro's shoulder na nagpabuntong hininga na lamang sa lalake.

Bumukas na ang elevator pero bago pa man kami makalabas ay may pahabol na tanong si sir Jandro.

“Okay fine but where are you heading?” he asked once again and the ginang looked at me kaya ako na ang sumagot.

“Nagbook po ng room si ma'am abuela at doon po kami papunta” I answered that made ma'am abuela chuckle lowly and also made sir Jandro to look at me with clear amusement.
