The Good Girls

Chapter 2- The Talk

Mga 11:20 na ng nakarating ako sa kingston restaurant na pagmamay-ari ng kaibigan ni daddy. Masarap silangng mag-serve ng food dito. Mapunta man sa meat, veggies and even sea-foods. My favorite here is fried shrimps and their soup. Mapapa-heaven ka sa sarap.

Speaking of heaven. Hindi ko alam kung pano kami nagkita ni Francis kanina. Is he stalking me or sadyang sakto lang na nandun din siya. Hindi ko nga alam kung pano ako nakarating at naka-upo ng maayos dito sa loob ng restaurant dahil sa nangyari kanina. Muntik ng mauwi sa make-out session. Ewan ko lang din kung magpapasalamat ako dun sa istorbo este mamang yun sa pagputol ng kissing scene namin sa CR o hindi dahil sa pagkuha niya ng lit-trato samin. Hindi ko din alam kung ilang minuto na siya dun. Basta ang alam ko, nakakahiya! I admit, i did enjoy it. Pasensya na. I'm just being true to myself. Alam ko ganun din naman ang mararansan ng isang girl, when... urghhh! Stop that! Maaga pa naman kaya nag i'insta muna ako while waiting for my father. Ayaw niya kasing na le'late ang ka'meet niya. Kahit kaming anak niya. He is always on time. Sa sarap ko kaka'insta, hindi ko namalayan yung oras.

Busy on something? A baritone voice that i was once scared off but now, not anymore.

Uhm hi pa. Lumapit ako sakanya to kiss his right cheek.

Let's sit. Sabi niya.

Have you already oreder something to eat? -Dad

Not yet pa. You know, i dont know what you want.

The waiter just got in time. I ordered what's my favorite and i was shock when he oredered the same as mine. Knowing him, ayaw niya ng gaya-gaya. Anong nakain nito. Sabi ko while looking at him.

Staring is rude Alis. Diko naisip na kanina pa pala ako nakatingin sakanya. Umiwas nalang ako dahil hindi ko kaya ang makipagtitigan sakanya.

Sorry pa, just stock on something that i wasn't able to think I was staring at you.

Stock in something? Like reminiscing what was happened on CR like that? Sabi niya in sarcastic tone.

Napatingin tuloy ako sakanya nag wala sa oras. I was shock! What does he mean. Wag niyang sabihin na.... oh help me God!

Uhmm, no pa. Nothing like that. I was thinking about the proposal of--- he cut me off.

I'm not stupid Alis. Nakikita ko sakanya na galit siya. But he was just holding his anger because we are in public. Nilabas niya ang phone and he slide it papunta sakin. Dahan-dahan kong nilingon ang screen ng phone niya and booooom! That was me and francis kissing...torridly.

What was that all about? Making out in a male's room without even thinking that someone might caught the two of you off guard! You never think staright Alis. Your 24 and didn't think even good one!

Ang sakit! Tagos ohh! Lahat pa, ginawa ko. But all you noticed was my mistakes. How can i be look good to you if you always see me through my mistakes. That thoughts scream in my mind right now. Pinipigilan kong wag umiyak! Ayaw kong magpakitang mahina ako. I fake a smile.

Ang bilis naman kumalat ng picture na yan. Sagot ko in sarcastic tone.

He slammed the table kaya lahat ng tao sa restaurant ay napatingin sa gawi namin. I was shock a little bit. Mas worse pa sya dyan.

He stood up to say sorry to the people and sat down again. Wala kabang kahihiyan ha Alis? What do you think if other people might see that picture. Buti nalang my nakakita agad diyan sa picture nayan at agad kong natawagan kung sino man ang kumuha ng litratong yan to pay na wag ng ikakalat pa. God Alis.

Then think what they think pa. I dont care. Besides, I am not good in explaining my side. Kayo na nga na ama ko you never let me. So let it be. Rumour has it. I dont live pleasing other people. Totoo naman. He never let me explain my side but when it comes to her good daughter, naniniwala naman. Galing no?!

So masaya-- Thank God. Save by the waitress.

Uhhm excuse me sir mam. Here's your order.

Tahimik lang kaming dalawa kumakain. Wala ni isa samin ang gustong magsalita. For what? Bangayan nanaman. Enjoyin ko nalang ang food. Ng matapos na kaming dalawa akala ko aalis na kami. But he started again talking.

Ang purpose ng lunch na to is to inform you something.

Kumunot ang noo ko?

What something?

I'm going back again in business world for i think, a month. You'll be a COO and i'll be the CEO.

Are you kidding me?! You are too old enough for this. Me turo ko sa sarili ko, COO? You've got to be kidding.

No I'm not. As i was saying, for a month. I'm only 59, not too old. Wala pakong dual citizenship so not too old. Besides, your sister is coming home this week. That's why i need you to be in COO position for awhile. Ace is going to have a training in our company and I'm going to assign her as the Head of Budget and Finance.

Mas lalo akong nagliyab sa kinauupuan ko. So, she's back! Dahil sakanyan bababa ako ng posisyon. Ano to?! Siya nanaman. Ang saya ko na nga kahit wala siya tapos eto, bababalik siya at kukunin nanaman ang sakin. Now way!

So, she's the reason why? Ang taas naman ata bigla ng binigay niyo sakanya. Diba pwedeng mababa muna? It's the starting line. I said sarcastically.

No. It's enough. I made a decision. I want to be there para ma'supervise siya. I need you to arrange your things after this. Your office is now ready. I'm going to fetch her tomorrow and after that she'll be in company para ipakilala ko siya sa mga employees natin.

Okay fine. I raised my two hands up. Your the boss. Pero, don't change my secretary.

I'm not. She's all yours.

So, since we're done. I'm going. Para ma'arrange ko na yung mga gamit ko. Goodbye then.

Hindi ko na siya hinintay na magsalita pa. Agad akong lumabas at sumakay sa sasakyan. Dun ko nilabas ang luhang kanina ko pa pinipigilan.
