The Sweetest Man Hater [Completed]

Chapter 45: The Spicy Ending

Tine's POV only.

It's been three years.
Dad died after a year we stayed in the states. I spent my time with him, kami ni ate Jaimee. We were very happy and forgiving. I didn't go to school on the first year kasi focused ako kay dad. Kaya nagstay pa kami ng 2 years sa states to study and to gain experience.

And now we are back. Manila I missed you.

Mga one week na kami dito and nothing's special. Busy lang siguro dahil I am helping with my dad's business na naiwan niya.

I got a call. Sinagot ko.

"Hello, Ms. Tine. Still remember me? I am the person who looked for your house before you came back." Yes. That old lady na ginugulo ako simula palang nung araw na dumating ako dito.

I heard that she's the CEO of the company na nagbenta samin ng bahay at lupa na ito. Bakit pa siya tumatawag? We settled already.

"Oh yes? Why po?"

"I asked you for a favor before but you didn't call back." Maririnig mo sa boses niya yung tampo.

Oh yah. I can still remember.

"Sorry. Quite busy these days. Send po ninyo sa akin yung address and I'll meet him." That's her request. Makipag-meet daw ako sa anak niya. Actually hindi naman talaga siya ang kausap ko about sa bahay but when she saw me inside her company she kept on praising me and even asked me to go on a date with his son.

"Oh Iha, Thank you. I'll send it to your email. The date and the place."

"No problem." Boring na din dito sa bahay.

Kung nagtataka kayo I am not a man-hater anymore so I can go to any blind dates now. But the worst thing is hanggang date lang talaga.

****
I walked inside the cafe house. And I hate this feeling.

I tried to shake my head. And opened my mind and soul to reality. Of all places pa talaga?

Umupo ako sa isang upuan doon. I tried to look around. Binigay lang kasi nung babae yung address and the place. Sabi niya siya nalang ang pupunta para ipakilala kaming dalawa sa isa't-isa.

And someone caught my attention. May lalaking nagpi-piano sa mini stage doon. And he was good. Naka-formal siya. Suit in black.

Everyone was looking at him. Nakanganga. Puro mga college students yung nasa loob ng cafe house. And napailing na naman ako dahil mga school mates ko sila. Malapit itong location sa school ko dati. Sa school namin. Ang dami kong memories dito.

May nakasagi ng lamesa ko kaya nahulog yung hawak kong ballpen sa sahig kaya pinulot ko muna. At pag-angat ko wala na yung pianist sa harap. Sayang.

"Ms. Tine." Napalingon ako sa likod ko and there she was. She looked so busy pero talagang nagpakita siya. Nakacoat siya na puro fur at puro alahas ang suot. Donya talaga siya.

Tumayo ako at nakipag-shake hands sa kanya. "Nice meeting you again, Mam."

Ngumiti siya. "You are so pretty, Iha. Wait here okay."

Hindi na muna ako umupo. Pumunta siya sa counter at may pinapatawag siya.
"Where's my son? Son!"

Parang kinakabahan yung mga staffs at hindi maturo yung lalaki.

Pumasok siya sa loob ng isang private room at hinila niya sa tainga ang isang matangkad na lalaki.

"I told you to meet her. Why are you hiding?" sabi niya sa kasama niya.
