Nandito kami ngayon sa isang resto ni Elmo. It's been three weeks since I've had that talk with Jona at ito ulit ang unang pagkakataon na nagkita kami dahil busy siya sa banda
Ang dalawa ay kasama si Joshua dahil gusto daw nito isama sa bakasyon niya kung saan man. Since advance naman daw ang dalawa, pwede daw silang i excuse sa classes kaya magisa lang ako sa bahay dahil pinauwi ko din sila yaya. They're staying there for two months. Pinadala ang curriculum so in case na gusto nilang magbasa, they can still read their things
Kaaalis lang din nila two days ago kaya nag a-adjust pa ako magisa sa bahay
The company is also doing well. Nabawi namin ang kailangan for the company kaya nabigay ko na din ang debt to Ms Arroyo or should I say Mrs Magalona, pero hindi niya ito kinuha
Ani niya na regalo niya na daw sa akin ito
Tumikihim siya which made me look up. Nakapout siya habang nakatingin sa akin "Is something bothering you?"
Umiling ako at uminom ng tubig. The past three weeks went by so fast. Ang dami kong nalaman about his family
Hindi ko alam kung ano ang mukhang maihaharap ko kay Mrs Magalona dahil alam niya na may anak ako. Hindi ko alam kung sadyang guilty lang talaga ako na may anak kami or may alam talaga siya
Hindi niya alam na alam ko na mama pala siya ni Elmo and I don't think I'll ever have the guts to confront her about it
"No.. Just thinking of work"
He let a sigh of relief go. Now that I get to look at him, he's wearing his usual office attire, tux and all, tapos naka sunglasses siya
Buti nalang at wala kami sa syudad dahil sa outfit niya ngayon, hindi mo maikakaila na siya si Elmo Magalona na vocalist ng banda na West Side
"Damn.. If the person who will stare at me is you, I'd be glad to just sit here forever" sambit niya
Naramdaman kong biglang uminit ang mukha ko. Damn! I'm blushing! Tumawa naman siya bigla kaya pabiro kong hinampas ang braso niya
"Hindi ka ba natatakot na may makakakilala sayo? Dyan ka nakaupo?" nakaupo kasi siya sa harapan ko at once na may pumasok sa loob ng resto, makikita at makikita siya. I looked around, isang old couple lang ang nandito at kaming dalawa
Nakita kong napatingin sa gawi namin ang asawa niyang babae at ngumiti kaya ngumiti din ako pabalik
Napatingin ako sakaniya nang hawakan niya ang kamay ko "Cause I'd rather enjoy the view just by looking at you.." mahina nitong sambit
I felt my face heat up even more! What the hell! "Elmo!" sambit ko. Instead na mahiya kagaya ko, mas lalo pa siyang natawa. Enough only for the two of us to hear
Bigla namang sumeryoso ang mukha niya "Seriously, baby.. What's bothering you?"
I looked at him. Every time he drops the b word, I just lose myself. Tumikhim ako and counted to ten in my head to calm myself down. Luckily, it worked "Nothing. Really" I gave him an assuring smile
Binigyan niya ako ng I'm-not-buying-the-look type, pero nung nakita niya akong ngumiti, ngumiti na din siya at nagkibit balikat
I honestly don't know where to begin. Hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko sakaniya. How I would start. If everything that Jona has told me were true, what he's done for me, then I owe him a lot
Kanina pa niya binbukas ang bibig niya, pero lagi niya namang sinasarado. Ngayon, he's texting someone while smiling. I wonder who he's texting. I felt pain in my chest. Who else in this world can make him smile like that?
