Margaret headed to a Japanese restaurant after she left in the airport.She had decided not to follow Cattleya.She wants Alejandro and his families to give this whole day for them and Cattleya.She's comfortable knowing how good family they are.
"Good morning ma'am any reservation?", the waiter greeted her as she entered.She nodded and told.The waiter lead her to a corner against the glass window where they can see the view of the outside.
"Did you wait long Nass?", she said as the waiter pull the chair for her.Nasser called her earlier inviting her for a lunch.She's quiet surprise.
"No Margaret just been here too." he smiled.
They gave their orders to the waiter.
"Thank you by the way Nass for giving us the free privilege in your hotel for a week", Margaret said.Nass never let them pay their accommodation at the hotel.
"No problem Margaret.", he answered.
Then their food comes.They've been quiet for a while til Margaret spoke.
"I won't mind if you'll start talking why am I having lunch with you today Nass", she said smiling.She could see his hesitants to speak.And as she spoke she could see his expression.Like he's been caught red handed.He smiled.
"Y-yeah..I'm just wondering if Cattleya is okay.If she had a problem lately", he said.Margaret look at him.
"Why?are you having a fight?", she wonder.Why did he not ask this directly to Catt.
"S-she won't talk to me", he said.
Margaret laugh softly.
"I really don't know what's going on with you two..Well, she's with his father now."
And Margaret gave the details about how did it happened.
"But, they're good family right?", he's a bit worried.Someone should have been with her.
"Yeah I believed so.That's why I don't follow her there.And I just called her too.She's okay as she said.", Margaret said assuring him when he saw his worried face.Nass nodded.
"She already had a phone?"
"Y-yeah.You want her number?"
Nass handed his phone to Margaret.And she quickly write and saved Catt's number.
After the lunch Nass took her to the park of the hotel for an ice cream walk.
"This is your hotel too right?", she asked.She could see the common exterior with the other hotel where they stayed.
"Yeah.I suggest you to stay here the next time you have your family.Catt's used to stroll here in the park."
"Really?I bet, alone?", she asked.
"Probably.I don't know any friend of her until we met her.My cousins and friends like her.".
They stopped at the bench and sit.
"And you?", Margaret got curious of how they'd met.
Thinking about how they met brought a smile to him.
"Honestly at first I don't really like her Sorry for that Margaret", he apologize which only made Margaret more curious.She smile at him.
"We bumped into each other outside Helena's.My phone broked and I'm so pissed cause I'm talking with an important client that time.And it seems nothing for her.No sorry.Well, even now that's the hardest word for her to speak", and they both laugh.
"You know what Margaret she's the only one who can really pinned me to the ground.", he laugh thinking how she made him self-concious.
"I noticed that too.I can't really believed how she talked to you.I'm glad you're not that ruthless to cut her tongue or strangled her", and they both laughed again.
"Yeah..but instead I feel like I want to take care of her.", and they both quiet.
Margaret got amused of how he talk about Cattleya.He seems he liked her so much.
"Do you know that she left the painting?", Margaret said.
"Y-yeah.I'm keeping her old place anyway.",that surprises Margaret.
"Why?", she asked.
"I asked her before she transfered to Leslie to stay and I'll find a scholarship for her.Though I can afford to send her school, but I know her attitude too.So I offered her through scholarship, which still she refused."
"Why are you doing this to her?"
Nass been quiet for a while.
"I don't want her to feel down w-when she's with me.I m-mean I really don't know Margaret.When she's with my friends and cousins she don't feel any differences.While on me little things mattered to her.S-she loses her confidence to her self."
"Why?I mean does it mattered to you?"
"Y-yeah.I want to be close to her still.", he palmed her face."She's important to me."
"You have a girlfriend right?"
"We already broke up."
Margaret look at him intently.Now she's not worried to go back to Japan.Cause aside from Alejandro she could feel that there is someone who will protect and take care of Catt.
"I'm sorry to hear that", she said.
"Its okay.She's so jealous with Catt", he laugh thinking it now.
"Why?", Margaret wonder why it made him laugh.
"I don't know.One thing I remember Bel got angry because of her, when we are having lunch at my cousin's house.Cattleya was invited to.Cattleya dared me that if I won't eat the banana cake she would eat the apple".
"She's allergic to apples..but what's with banana cake?"
"She knew from my cousins that I hate bananas.So she dare me."
Margaret laugh.
"Do you think she would really eat the apple?
"On that time I really believed.Knowing how stubborn she is.So I eat the banana cake than let her lay down to the hospital again because of her allergies."
"So I ended throwing up all I've eaten".
Margaret laugh again.
"I didn't know she was hospitalized". Margaret said.
Nass told her about it.She's glad Catt was surrounded with a concerned people.
Nass send her back to the hotel.
"Nass I hope you won't get tired of her."
As they stop in front of the building.
"I don't think that would ever happen Margaret.", he said that made Margaret smile.She got out the car.And before she walk inside she turn back to Nass.
"You know what you look like today Nass..its like your asking a hand for a girl to her mother", then she walk inside.Left the confused and flushed Nass.
