Bumaba ako ng matapos na ako sa morning routine ko. Hinanap ko si Ryan kaya lang wala na siya.
Napabuntong hininga ako.
"Good morning madam.. Kumain na po kayo.." Yaya ni manang Rosa.
"Manang just call me Rachel. Madam is just for my mother." Natatawang sabi ko. She smiled sweetly and noded her head.
"Ok po." Pumunta kami sa kusina at kumain na ako.
"Manang naabutan mo ba si Ryan kanina?" Tanong ko ng tapos na akong kumain.
"Hindi na po."
"Ahh okay po.." Hindi ba siya umuwi kagabi? Ng matapos kaming kumain kagabi umalis siya agad.
Napabuntong hininga na lang ako. Tawagan ko na lang kaya. Mmm.
Tinawagan ko siya pero di naman niya sinasagot. Sunod kong tinawagan yung secretary niya.
"Yes, hello. This is the office of Mr. Ryan Aquino, what can I do for you?" Professional na bati ng baritong boses.
"Hi this is Rachel Aquino can I talk to Ryan please."
"Wait a sec ma'am."
"Ryan?"
"Rae.." Ang sarap talagag pakinggan ang pangalan ko kpag galing sa kaniya.
"I-iwas just wondering if you came home last night.." Hindi siya agad sumagot. I smell something fishy.
"Y-yes of course." He stutters.
"Ahh,, okay.." Walang umimik sa aming dalawa hanggang sa nagsalita siya.
"Kumain ka na ng breakfast?"
"Oo kakatapos ko lang." Nakangiting saad ko. Concern siya.. Nakakakilig naman tae!
"Good.. Dont skip a meal baka magutom yang alaga mo." Natatawang savi niya.
"Hoy! Sobra ka naman.. Wala akong alaga ah! Sa sexy kong 'to." I gigled.
"Weh? E ang takaw mong kumain.. Talo mo pa si Dambo!" It felt nice to hear him laugh.. His laugh makes me smile.. Ayos pala kapag ganito kami, parang normal..
"Bahala ka na nga! Sige bye na may gagawin pa ako.." Tumatawang sabi ko.
"Mmm.. Mas importante pa kesa sa akin?" Natigilan ako sa sinabi niya. Importante na ba siya sa akin?
"H-huh?" Tumawa siya ng malakas.
"Goodbye wife.." Then he ended the call.. I walked to the kitchen dazed. The hell happened?!
"Ok ka lang ba Rachel?" Tanong ni manang ng umupo ako sa may bar stole.
"Uhmm.. Manang tulungan mo naman akong magluto para kay Ryan.." Ngumiti sya at tumango.
- - -
After how many years... tapos na rin kaming magluto ni manang ng Adobo at pinakbet. Yung pinakbet sabi kasi ni manang masarap daw yun, kahit hindi ko alam ang pagkain na yun linuti parin namin ni manang.
I put them on a tuperwear pati na ang rice. Nagbihis ako at nagsuot ng sundress na color white. I put my haur in a bun. I find it really cute when my red hair us on a bun. Hindi ako masyado naglagay ng makeup just a little blush on and a lip balm and I put mascara to linger my lashes. And to finished my outfit I put on my mandals. It is brown buy the straps are white and they're cute.
"Manang una na po ako." Tawag ko kay manang ng palabas na ako ng bahay.
"Okay po ma'am."
I drove to Ryan's office excited. It's my first time to cook ffor him and surprise him too.
Ng makarating ako pumasok ako sa lobby.
"Good afternoon ma'am. What can I do for you?" The man in the lobby asked.
"I'm here for Ryan Aquino.." I smiling stated.
"Ahh sorry but you need to have an appointment fi-"
"I'm his wife Rachel Aquino.." I interrupted.
The guy eyed me, recognizing me.
"Ohh ma'am I'm so sorry.. I'll ring mr. Ryan's office--"
"No. No don't I'm surprising him. Please don't mind." He nodded and gestured me to the elevator.
The elevator door opened to Ryan's office. His secretary smiled and gestured me in Ryan's office.
There's a big "Mr. Ryan H. Aquino CEO" nameplate in The big oak door, I pushed them open.
May dalawang lalake na naka-upo sa harapan ni Ryan. The blonde with a green orbs looks so sweet and a good lover and the other guy with black and intimidating black orbs looks so dominating and dangerous, wait.. He's the best man in our wedding.. Yeah I remember. But there's only one that stands out in the room, he looked at me shocked evident in his features.
I smiled at him and he smiled back gesturing me inside the room.
"Let's finish the meeting tomorrow, you may go." Ryan speaks to the men sitting in front of him.
"What? You didn't even introduced us to the beautiful lady here." I blushed at sweet and the good lover guy said.
Ryan glared at him. "No."
Ano ba naman itong lalakeng ito! Ang sungit.
"I'm Rachel, his wife." I walked over to Ryan, pero nagulat ako ng hilain ako ni Ryan sa kandunga niya.
"Ahh, finally met the wife. You look young. How old are you?" Tanong ulit ni sweet guy.
"I'm 23." Ryan held my free hand and gently played with it.
"Umalis na nga kayong dalawa! Let me have a private time with my wife!" Ryan growled. The two men chuckled.
"I told you Nick." The dangerous guy chuckled.
When the two men finally gone, ryan kissed my lips sweetly. It was short vut it's so good.
"What was that for?" I asked breathlessly. I opened my eyes and saw him looking at me.
"Nothing. Just happy you're here." Seriously?!
"Catching feelings are we?" I chuckled. Tatayo na sana ako ng hilain niya ulit ako.
"What happened to your finger?" Kinuha niya yung hintuturo ko na may sugat.
"Ahh nothing.. Come on let's eat.." Tumayo ako at naglakad papunta sa my coffee table at inilagay ang paper bag dun na may laman ng luto ko.
Sana magustohan niya.
I opened them one by one and settled the plates together with the spoon and fork.
"Did you cooked this for me?" Tumango ako at linagyan ng kanin ang mga plato namin.
"Yup.. Nagluto kasi kami ni manang ng kakainin namin kaya lang may meeting ako malapit lang dito mamaya kaya naisipan kong dalhan ka para tuloy-tuliy na ang lakad ko." Tumango ito kaya lang medyo nawala ang ngiti niya.
Sa totoo lang, linuto ko talaga ito para kay Ryan, pero ayaw kong magtaka siya kung bakit ko ginawa ito. Kumain na kami ni Ryan.
"Gusto mo na ako noh?" Muntik na akong mabulunan sa bigla niyang tanong.
"Are you nuts?! Hindi porke't dinalhan kita ng pagkain gusto na kita. Naman Ryan. We had a deal and i will not break them." Sumama yung tingin niya sa akin bago siya nagsalita.
"Of course. We had a deal but you still let me kiss you a while ago.. Or maybe you just don't want to admit because you said you hate someone like me and I bet someone like me broke your heart that's why you're acting this way towards me." He hissed in annoyance. Binalibag ko yung plato ko sa lamesa, buti nalang hindi nabasag.
"Wala na akong gana. I have to go. May date pa ako."
"W-wait! Anong Date?!" He hissed. "I'm sorry.. Rae! Wait!"
Hindi ko siya pinansin at umalis na ako. I heard him call my name but I continued walkintg out of his office.
