Hindi ako makatulog. I was like staring at the damn ceiling for two hours before I decided to have some coffee in my system. Kung hindi rin lang ako makakatulog, samahan ko na ng kape. Brinx's dark olive eyes still has the same effect on me, katulad ng dati. At hanggang ngayon, nakikita ko pa rin ang mga mata niya kahit nakapikit ako.
I shook those crazy thoughts away. Calm down Q. Hindi ka apektado sa kanya. Jet lag lang yan okay? Jet lag lang. What you need is a good coffee. Yun lang para maka-relax ka.
I brought my laptop with me so I can study the stats of the properties presented to me this morning. Kinausap ko kasi sila daddy kanina, they said that any of the proposed area is perfect for the hacienda, pero kung ayaw ko naman daw wala naman din silang problema doon ako naman daw ang masusunod. But I don't want them getting disappointed because of my choices. First time kong humawak ng isang business na ako ang magsisimula, Papa and Daddy gave me an open capital for it. Ayoko namang sayangin lang lahat ng perang ibinibigay nila sa akin. Baka lang naman kasi napangunahan ako ng galit kanina that's why I disregarded what was presented to me by Alexa.
"Hi, one Caramel Coffee Jelly Venti with extra java chip, then can I request to please drain the jelly thoroughly. And umm French toast would be nice. Thanks." I said. The barista nodded before he asked for my name, "Q. Like the letter." I answered before I look for a vacant seat.
I scanned the document Alexa emailed to me. PDF format na siya nung prinesent niya sa akin kanina. Sabi ko okay lang naman na ung powerpoint na lang ang hingin ni Karen. Pero mukhang nagpapakitang gilas sila.
I was busy sipping and reading when a woman stopped right in front of me. "Hi, is the seat taken?"
I shook my head before offering her the chair infront of me. "Please." I heard her saying thanks pero hindi na ako sumagot.
One of the lands caught my attention kasi. Tama naman pala sila Papa, mayroon nga naman talaga akong magugustuhan. It was 3,670 hectares in size. It was the biggest from all seven na pinakita sa akin ni Alexa. Malapit sa ilog which is great. Hindi rin mahirap ang mode of transportation dahil hindi naman siya sa liblib.
I was nodding my head as I continue reading pero nawala ako sa binabasa ko ng na-realize ko kung anong kanta ang pinapatugtog sa loob ng coffee shop.
"Ikaw na ang may sabi, na ako'y mahal mo rin. At sinabi mo, ang pagi-big mo'y di magbabago~"
I stopped momentarily. Oh mio dio! Four years ko ng hindi naririnig ang kanta 'to! At kung sweswertehin ka nga naman, unang araw ng pagkikita niyo ng ex mo maririnig mo pa ang tanging kantang ginigitara niya sa iyo nung kayo pa.
"At kahit anong mangyari, pag-ibig ko'y sayo pa rin. At kahit ano pa, ang sabihin nila'y ikaw pa rin ang mahal. Maghihintay ako kahit kailan~"
I tried focusing pero hindi ko talaga kaya! Swear! Kaya nagtawag ako ng isang barista, I will tip him generously! Basta palitan lang nila ang kanta!
"Yes Ma'am?" He asked.
"Hi, umm I know this is an odd request but can you replace the song?"
He looked at me dumbfounded at first before he nodded. And after a few more dreadful seconds, the song was nowhere to be heard. "Bad memories I guess?" Tanong bigla sa akin nung babaeng nakiupo sa akin.
I smirked, "You can say that."
"You have an accent. Italian? I'm Era by the way." She said before offering her hand. Saka ko napansin na gumagawa siya ng platings sa harap ko. I secretly stared at it whilst shaking her hand.
