ENDLESS JOURNEY OF LOVE

CHAPTER 28

Christian's

"Hey, brother."

Naramdaman ko ang kalabit sakin ng madaldal kong ate kaya nilingon ko siya.

"Nagpakita ba sayo si Albea?"

Kinunot ko ang noo ko at napaisip sa sinabi. What the hell is she trying to say?

"I guess you're outdated. Someone told me that she saw Albea and it seems like she didn't show up her face to us. Any idea of why?"

"I don't know, I don't want to know and I don't care. Just let her be. As long as hindi niya pa nakikita ang pagkakamali niya, hindi ko siya kakausapin pagdating dito sa Emilia."

"Pagkakamali?"

Bobo mo, Ian!! Hindi ko manlang naisip na hindi pala kalat na si Albea ang may gawa ng pagleak ng designs sa Leonis. Nagiging mamang na yata ako.

"Don't mind that. Usapang magasawa na yun. Ikaw kasi, wag kang inggitera. Maghanap ka na ng mapapangasawa mo. Too bad na naunahan kita." pangaasar ko pa na ikinanguso niya.

"Too bad na hindi ako katulad mong maagang lumandi." she said at saka niya ako tinalikuran pero agad naman siyang lumingon. "Oops. Hindi pala lumandi. Maaga kang nilandi."

Bilib din ako sa ate kong may sense din kausap. If only na buhay pa si Lez, siya lang ang makakatalo kay Ate pagdating sa ganyang usapan. Ewan ko nalang kung hindi mabasag tenga pagnarinig mo silang magkausap.

Inabot pa ng 3 oras ang Runway event hanggang sa natapos siya. The event ended by Ate Yani's and Avery's speech. As everyone was fixing theirselves to leave, may mga lumapit sakin na babae and she looks so mayaman sa suot niya. Tumataglish nako, pakshet.

"You are Mr. Largado, right?"

"Yes, maam. Nice to meet you." I said and I extended my hands at nakipagshake hands naman agad siya.

"I'm Charice De Trina."

Napaisip ako sa pangalan cause she's familiar to me. Nang maalala ko kung sino siya, nanlaki mata ko. "Charice. Senator De Trina's second daughter. H-How can I help you?"

"Sorry to ask but in your company, who should I approach when comes to choosing some designs to your grand sales?" formal niyang sabi.

"Of course! Our Team Leader Design Department. Can I ask the reason why?"

"My friend is going to have a debut and I was planning to gift her some undergarment."

"Really? Well, I'm going to make you as our VIP customer. Follow me. I will lead you to our Team Leader Designer."

Naglakad ako papunta kanila Avery at Ate Yani kung saan busy silang naguusap don. Nakita ako ni Ate Yani at saka niya kinalabit si Avery giving her a sign na padating ako.

"I have someone here who will be our VIP customer." I said at saka ko pinakita sa kanila si Charice na agad naman niyang binigyan ng ngiti yung dalawa.

"Hello. How can we help you?" nakangiting sabi ni Avery.

"Well, I want you to choose some designs here in your Grand Sale as a gift for my friend. I'm sure that designers have the excellent taste when comes to this."

"Sure. You can go to my office by tomorrow afternoon and I'll offer you the best that I can do. Is she our VIP customer?" Avery asked at saka siya tumingin sakin.

I gave her a slight smile as I nodded. Nagshakehands sila ni Charice at saka siya umalis. Nakita nalang namin na umalis si Avery sa harapan namin ni Ate Yani kaya napatingin ako sa kanya.
