Broken Hearts (Completed)

Chapter 31

A month after...

"Um King? Seventy eight thousand pesos something was credited to my account. Do you know anything about this?" tanong ko kay Chris na nasa CR. I was looking at my bank account online dahil magbabayad ako ng Credit Card ko. "King?"

"Wait," he said. He went out the toilet and looked at what I was looking at. "That's your share of the profit from the business this month," he said and smiled.

"What?!" di ko makapaniwalang tanong.

"Yes, kita mo yan," sabi nya. "Mababa pa sa ngayon pero kikita tayo ng mas malaki don't worry."

I hugged him sa tuwa. Tumalon-talon ako. "Talaga?! Ang saya! Unang kita 'ko 'to!"

Tawa sya ng tawa sa galak ko. Sumayaw sayaw pa 'ko.

"Grabe!" sigaw ko. "Di na 'ko gagastos. Ang hirap palang kumita ng pera. One South East Asia trip lang yan eh."

"Oo nga eh. Working makes you think differently about money. So what are you planning to do with your hard-earned money?"

"Look at it. I will just look at it King. Ang liit nyan eh. Wala akong magagawa dyan," sabi ko.

"Queen hindi yan ang normal na sahod ng mga Pilipino, alam mo ba?"

"No, you're joking," I gasped.

"Our staff members get twelve thousand each a month as a salary," he said. 

"Twelve lang?!" hawak ko sa mukha nyang di makapaniwala.

"Yes," sabi at tawa nya.

"I've been sheltered," I realized.

"Yes, spoiled ka na sa parents mo, spoiled ka na kay Manang, spoiled ka pa sa'kin," he said and kissed me on the lips. I let that linger. Ang sarap!

"Pero sa tatlo na natin 'tong food trucks? Eh diba I invested half a mil?" tanong ko calculating it in my head. Ambaba ng kita.

"Mataas na yan actually. People really like our food. Syempre sa umpisa net loss pa tayo," sabi nya.

Basta andyan sya, bahala na sya sa computations. "I am so lucky to have a gorgeous boyfriend as my business partner to take care of the boring stuff. Grabe! Ano pang hahanapin ko?!"

Natawa sya. He hugged me. "Wala na. Wala ka na talagang hahanapin pa," he said and kissed me.

For the purpose of storytelling, I had forgotten about Ron. I worked hard to forget him and I did. I was happy and Chris was happy. We were happy.

Chris and I were the picture of a perfect relationship. We have a growing business together and we're happy as a couple.

"But wait," he said raising a finger.

"What wait?"

He presented me a huge paper bag.

"What's this?" tanong ko.

"Open it," sabi nya.

I saw a pair of Louboutins. I gasped. "Nooooo!"

"Yes. Wear that tonight. And you know what that comes with?"

"There's more?" gulat kong tanong.

"A foot rub after a long night of heels. And probably sweet, hot sex after."

I hugged him. "You're the best!"

That night we went to Chris' bestfriend, Nolan's birthday party sa isang club we used to frequent a lot. Nakasundo ko na ang bestfriend nyang si Nolan at ang girlfriend nitong si Shanice. They also eat a lot at our food truck biz 'cause they live in a condo around the area.
