THE STORY OF BERNICE

CHAPTER 11

Bed&Bfast receptionist: Good Evening Ma’am, Sir.

F: Good Evening, we have a reservation under the name of Mrs. Julie Ann Arellano.

BB Recep: One moment sir.. (chineck niya yung record nila.) Sir, here’s the key, 5th floor, Master suite. 

Dahel wala naman silang dalang gamit, hindi na sila nagpahatid sa room boy. 

C: ano ba kaseng ginagawa naten dito??

F: I really don’t know, promise.. your mom just told me na pumunta tayo dito.. baka andito sila…

Now he’s lying Again.. ang totoo kase, siya ang humingi ng favor sa mommy ni Chesca para tulungan siyang magkaayos sila ni Chesca.. He’s losing hope, pakiramdam niya hindi talaga siya kakausapin ni Chesca kung siya lang ang gagawa ng paraan. He needed help at Mommy nito ang naisip niyang makakatulong sa kanya. Pumasok na sila sa room, it was dark inside.. Dim light lang ang nakabukas sa may living room ng suite.

C: asan sila?

F: tara na sa loob. For you. (inabot niya ang isang bouquet ng red, white and pink roses)

C: thank you… (Francis lead her sa may dining area, she seated, umupo si Francis facing her.)

F: magagalit ka pa din ba when I tell you that I planned this, with your mom?

C: lahat to?

F: pati yung trip, yung pagsabay nila sa kids pauwi.. now the kids are staying with your mom and dad. Buti na lang nakatulog ka, mas madali saken na kidnapin ka kanina…

C: kidnapin?!

F: dahel alam ko na hindi ka sasama saken, kaya kelangan kitang kidnapin.

C: I can sue you… (inirapan pa niya ito)

F: but I know you won’t do that…

C: pano mo naman nasabi? 

F: because you can’t. Chex, Im sorry. Really, I am… hindi ko na alam kung ano pang dapat kong gawin for you to finally forgive me, para bumalik yung dating tayo. Nancy is just a friend… when Bernice saw us sa Baguio, I was really an accident. I didn’t know that she’s also there, nagulat lang ako… (chesca placed her index fingers on his lips..)

C: I know… she told me everything.

F: sorry, hindi ko nagawang magexplain… I sorry it has to end this way… I miss my baby so much… and I hope she can still forgive me. (he was holding her both hands and kissed it)

C: she did.

F: really?

C: yah! You’re so kulit that’s why she had no choice but to forgive you.

F: so napipilitan lang siya?

C: no, she’s just kidding… she misses you too.

F: I miss her more.

Francis hugged her tightly, he cupped her face and kissed her…

F: sorry, I lied again.. (referring to the surprise he did with the help of her mom)

C: for all the lies you’ve made, this one is the sweetest. Thank you! And thanks for my favorite cheesecake.

F: you’re always welcome. I promise to give you everything…

The night is still young; they were watching movies while having dessert. Sa gitna nung movie, nakaramdam nanaman si Chesca ng pagkahilo so humiga siya sa sofa…

F: madalas kang nahihilo baby, magpacheck up ka na kase…

C: no need, normal lang naman to for pregnant woman.
