CHAPTER 67

(HAN'S POV)

You can do it man!

Easy for you to say. Hindi ikaw ang haharap sa kanila.

Ang sabi ko lang naman you can do it, hindi ko sinabing madali.

Konsensiya ka ba talaga o bully? Don't bother me.

Nirecite niya uli ang sasabihin niya bago pikit matang binuksan ang pinto.

"Welcome to Pink Lavender & White Cafe!" Nakangiting bati sa kanya ng isang waiter na nakasalubong niya. Gumanti siya ng ngiti, then he scanned the crowd for her familiar head..and found her, with two women with her on the table.

"Oh please." He cursed to himself.

This is not your lucky day bro.

"I know." Bulong niya sa sarili.

Before coming here, he fervently wished that Pinky was alone. He was crazy to think that would happen. He watched as the three women converse happily.

He looked at the flowers and chocolates in his hands. He had a bad feeling about this.

"As if it could get any worse." He started walking towards them.

"Nabasa mo na ba yung librong binigay ko sayo nung isang araw? Maganda yun promise.." Sinubukan niyang iwasan ang mata ni Em pero may sa-lawin ang mata nito. Em caught sight of him walking towards them. He swallowed.

"Uhm—"

"Aw, how sweet of you Hans, flowers and chocolates? So romantic. Di ba Lav?" Nakangiting binalingan ni Em si Razelle. Upon hearing his name, Pinky whipped her head. Nakatalikod ito sa kanya.

Tiningala siya ni Razelle mula sa pagkakaupo nito. She also smiled. "I definitely agree Em. Walang tatalo sa flowers and chocolates, bestfriend yan ng mga lalaki lalo na kapag gusto nilang mapasaya yung pagbibigyan. Pero ang alam ko may mas pinaggagamitan sila niyan."

Em arched her eyebrows. "Talaga? Ano naman yun?"

"Ano ka ba, naranasan mo na yun dati. Tanda mo nung dinalhan ka ni Dylan ng bulaklak? Nagsayaw pa yun sa harap mo." Razelle waved her hand.

"Ay oo nga no? What was it again? Ah I remember!" Em slapped the table. "Nung nakalimutan niyang may lakad kami. Tama ba ang sinabi ko?"

"Pak na pak bruha! Oh di ba? Madaling hulaan no?" Razelle turned to him. "Tingin mo Em, bakit may bulaklak at chocolate na dala itong kapatid mo?"

Em also studied him with hawkish eyes. "I don't know...maybe he needs his bestfriends now. Why was that Hans? Have you been a bad boy?"

The two of them stared at him, stone cold.

Sweat travelled from his scalp to the side of his neck.

"Tigilan niyo na nga yan. Baka mag-ihi na yan sa slacks niya." Pabirong singit ni Pinky. Apologetic na tumingin ito sa kanya. He returned her a weak smile.

"That would be lovely."

"A breathtaking view, really." Razelle rolled her eyes.

Pinky just laughed. "Hayaan niyo na, nalate lang naman ng konti yung tao." Tumayo ito at kinuha ang dala niya.

"Thanks, their beautiful."She smiled.
