Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would, you would if this was a movie
Stand in the rain outside 'til I came out.
Come back, come back, come back to me like
You could, you could if you just said you're sorry
I know that we could work it out somehow
But if this was a movie you'd be here by now...
CHAPTER 6
I stayed in the place near the pond for about an hour before I decided to find my colleagues.
While I'm looking for them, nakasalubong ko si Architect Montanes.
"Oh, Miss De Leon. How are you feeling? Sabi ni Eric medyo masama daw pakiramdam mo." Sabi niya. So Eric made an excuse for me.
"Mmm... Okay na po pakiramdam ko."
"Nasaaan po sila? Nakita niyo na po ba yung site?" Pag-iiba ko ng usapan.
"Not yet. Kararating lang din kasi ni Mrs. Vega. I just volunteered na hanapin ka since Eric told me na you're looking for a good place to rest. Come on, they're waiting for us."
They were chitchatting with some workers of the hacienda nung dumating kami. Nabaling naman ang atensyon nila sa amin.
Nadako ang tingin ko kay Eric, at nakita ko ang pag-aalala sa kanyang mga mata.
"Oh, there she is." I heard Mr. Guzman say as we were approaching.
"Siya nga po pala si Architect Cara De Leon. Yung junior architect po na sinasabi namin." Mrs. Vega added.
I smiled to them before greeting them.
"Hello po. Kumusta po kayo?" I asked them.
"Naku mam, ayos lang naman po kami dito. Ang ganda niyo po." Anang isa sa mga trabahador.
"Salamat po. Pwedeng Cara na lang po, wag na po yung mam. Nakakahiya po." I smiled shyly to him.
"Sige po mam, este Cara." He answered.
"Enjoy niyo po ang pamamalagi niyo dito. Mababait naman po ang mga tao dito." Saad naman nung isa pang trabahador.
"I'm sure our stay here will be fun and awesome at the same time." sabat naman ni Eric.
Hindi nagtagal ay inalok nila kaming mag-lunch muna bago kami itour sa hacienda.
I am sitting beside Eric. All of them are talking except us. Sumasagot lang kami if they're asking for our opinions.
"So, how about you Cara, how's your lovelife?" Diretsong tanong sa akin ni Architect Montanes.
Muntik naman akong mabilaukan sa tanong niya. Eric even offered me water which I accepted before I turned to them and answer the question.
"To tell you honestly, I don't have a lovelife now." I answered before turning to my food again.
"Talaga? Sa ganda mong iyan? Kung hindi lang siguro ako baliw na baliw dun sa fiancee ko, I would've courted you." ani Lance (Mr. Guzman) for the second time, muntik na naman akong mabilaukan.
Narinig ko naman ang mahinang pagbagsak ng kubyertos ng aking katabi.
I looked at Lance and he gave me a wide smile.
"Stop fooling around Mr. Guzman. Di po nakakatawa joke niyo." I said in a not so serious tone.
"Hahaha! Just kidding Cara. Wala bang nanliligaw sayo sa ganda mong yan?" he asked again. All attention are on us. They are intently listening to our conversation.
