Althea's POV
MAKALIPAS ANG LIMANG BUWAN!
Cous.. Tagal ka Pa ba? Nagugutom na kami ni jasmine oh! ".. Baka gusto mo lang bilisan getting lunch na.. Ang Trabaho pwede mag hintay pero ang tyan ko Hindi! " .
Pangungulit na agad saakin ni batchi when she got me on my office.. Habang busy akong tapusin ang ilang mga paper works ko na naiwan sa opisina weeks ago.
Napasulyap naman ako sa wrist watch ko and yeah.. Batchi is right it's getting lunch already kaya tumayo na agad ako at inayus ang ilang papiles sa mesa ko.
Okay.. Let's go!
Agad na sang ayun ko nalang saka na kami lumabas sa office.
Were leading on our way sa parking area when nonchantly bachi stop and face me. She was un easy when I notice her that's why I came to ask her.
"Hey batch ano problema?" Bakit parang di ka mapalagay dyan?.. Sige na sabihin Mona.
Pamimilit ko na sa pinsan ko habang palabas ng hallway sa rk.
Kasi.. Ahm ano eh.. Si.. Si..
Tila hesitant pang turan ni batchi saakin ng tila di rin makatingin ng diretso sa mga mata ko.
Ano na? Sino.. Ba kasing nandyan?..
Inip ko nang tanong pa ulit sa kanya saka kona na binilisan ang pag lalakad ko, at nag palinga linga pa sa paligid.. Ng minsan pang mahagip ng mga paningin ko ang pamilyar na bulto.. Mag isa syang nakaupo sa mesa sa bandang dulo and seems like she was done ordering her food when I've notice her.
Agad naman akong napatingin ng diretso Kay batchi who was trying to get away her gaze on me.. Pero bigo syang gawin yun cause I've corner her and I'll throw her a, questioning look.. Before I burst out something on her.
So you set me up right?..
Of course not Althea.. I don't know that she's here nakita ko nalang sya kanina sa labas nitong resto.. So I offered her to get inside.
Explain na saakin ni batchi.
I look at batchi straightly and took a deep a breath.
"Fine!! I'll talk to her".
Sabi ko nalang, saka na mabilis na iniwan Ito at saka ko na tinungo ang direction ni jade.
Jade's POV
Nagkasagutan na naman kami ni Jayson, he's actually my fiance and we're planning to have our wedding two months from now.
What's new with us? Ilang buwan narin mula nang mangyari ang engagement namin ni jayson and from then on di na ako nakaramdam ng happiness sa relationship namin nito, nag ka blant narin ang samahan namin, tiniis ko lang dahil sa mahalaga saakin si Althea and seeing her safe is what more important on me.. Kaya tiniis kong di sya makita sa loob ng limang buwan, mahirap para saakin ang tikisin ko ang sarili ko by not seeing her for the past months but I'll rather choose in pain than having Althea at risk..
I know how far Jayson can go when it comes to Althea.. Kaya bahala ng masaktan ako wag lang sya.. Pasalamat ko nalang at NASA Macao sya ngayon to have he's business trip for a week kaya nagka roon ako ng chance para makita si Althea, I'll silently park on her resto near Quezon city, at first I'll tried not go here but there's a sudden force in me telling that I should drop by on her place so later then I know I was leading on her way to runners kitchen.. And un expectedly I'll saw batchi there her cousin, kaya wala na akong nagawa kundi batiin Ito and she pleasantly talk to me naman we've talk a bit before she inviting me to get inside her cousins restaurant.
Thanks batch!! I'll just plainly said, saka na ako naupo sa bandang dulo ng kainan, thank God at may natira pang space dahil sa lunch break kung kaya puno ng mga parokyano ng mga sandaling iyon..
You sure okay ka lang sa pwestong yan jade?.. Tila naninigurado pang tanong saakin ni batchi na halatang nahihiya pa.
I'm okay here batch, don't worry!
Saka ako ngumite sa kanya, then after a while a sales associate came with a menu book in her armpit.. She then gave me the menu and I'll took the foods to choose from. Umalis narin agad Ito matapos makuha ang order ko.. Pansamantala ko pang linibot ang paningin ko till I saw a familliar back and when she face me oh my God.. Seems like my world stop.. And our eyes lock when we gaze up.. Everything in my surroundings got bloom and had a flowery petal that little by little had slip somewhere else.. And I feel like I was in some far away paradise.. And I'm the only one standing there while my prince.. I mean my princess too is standing waiting for me and sweetly smiling on me.. Ang sarap lang sa pakiramdam na makita mo ang taong labis mong pinanabikang makita noon pa.. Till I've notice that Althea is coming near me
Kaya bigla na naman akong kinabahan and my heart beat faster than ever.
"Grabeh.. Napakaganda nya talaga! " .
Bigla syang huminto sa harapan ko nang dahan dahan.. Kaya pinili kong umaktong normal sa harapan nya and greet her casually.
A.. Althea! I said smiling.
Ja.. Jade! Bu. Buti naman na dalaw ka.
Tugon ding turan ni Althea saakin. . Napansin kong nag palinga linga ito at tila may hinahanap.
Don't.. Worry I'm alone Althea, Jayson was not here.
Kung ganun na saan sya jade?..
In macao for his business trip, probably a week or two he stay there.
Espleka ko narin Kay Althea.
Sana nga di na sya bumalik pa eh! Dagdag naman ng utak ni Althea.
Ah.. Okay?!! So did you ordered already?..
Maya Maya ay tanong na saakin ni Althea habang pilit na ngumite saakin.
Yah.. Darating na yun, have a seat Althea.
Aya kona sa kanya.
Common join me please!! Just like the old time.
She added.
Oh well nag papacute na sya tatanggi pa ba ako?.. Sabi pa ng mahaderang utak ko.
At first I was hesitant.. And I'll refuse her.
No.. Noh, it's okay jade. We're actually eat somewhere else with batchi and jasmine.
Tanggi ko pa ngunit agad ko namang
Nakita ang biglang pag lungkot ng mga mata ni jade at nasasaktan akong makita syang ganun.. So I sigh a deep breath and just make it up to her.
But okay since mapilit ka, I'll take the seat.
Nakangite ko nang sabi sabay upo na sa bakanteng upuan kaharap sya.
We talk randomly nag kamustuhan and soon.. Till we've done eating.
Salamat sa food Althea! Sabi ko na sa kanya ng ihatid nya ako sa parking area.
NAku wala yun jade!! Your welcome here anytime so please suit yourself oKay?!..
Okay.. Thanks bye! -me
Just take care jade- Althea said while waving.
Linabas ko ang isang kamay ko sa windshield and wave goodbye on her. .and I'll start off my engine.
