Sabay

here comes good bye (pt.2)

(Sunday. Store close. But some crew was called for an emergency meeting regarding Jerald's party in two days)

(To his amazement, Noah noticed Abi is present and isn't late. But she was not her usual giddy self towards her co-workers and friends. He can't even caught her stealing glances of him anymore)

Abigail! may suggestions kaba? - Noah

wa..wala na po sir

(She answered without looking at him)

-------------------------------------

Okay, that's a wrap. Thank you for coming even though it's Sunday, so yungibamagpapaiwan para saibang dapat gawin dito?

yes sir, yung mga decors na kami mismo ang gagawa for sir Je- crew

Okay, good (stares at Abi again, but Abi's thought is somewhere no one can reach)

Um... I'll be back in a while I'll be meeting my mom so babalik ako to check on you guys

---------------------------------

"Son?"

Mom! Hello, I'm on my way at the airport now

oh, wag na on the way na ako sa resto mo

ah..huh? Wait mom!

(His phone died out. He maneuvered his car back to the resto, worried that after all his mom doesn't know about him meeting Abigail again and that she works at their resto)

Son? Son? hayy naku lobat nanaman

-----------------------------------

(While everybody is busy with their task, Noah's mom arrived and greeted everyone with a smile)

Tita! Welcome back- JAck

oh hiiho...thank you

I thought kasama mo si Noah?

supposedly pero napaaga ang dating ko kaya hindi ko na siya hinintay eh

naku tita, I'm excited to see you here... am everyone this is Noah's mother Tita...

(As she looks at everyone's faces, she paused when she noticed a familiar face)

Abigail?

Tita... (she greeted with fear)

---------------------------------

(Rose sat across Abi, staring at her lovingly, kindly)

How are you ha?

(Crumpling her white sweater on her lap, she shyly replied)

ahm..okay naman po ti...ta

Mabuti naman kung ganun... ah ha

tita i'm sorry po, hindi ko po alam na Si Noah may-aari nitong lugar akala ko po talaga si sir JAck

ganunba? hayyyy (she leaned her back on her chair) kaya pala, kaya pala iba ang mood ni Noah this past month

So... sorry PO if I again caused too much stress on your son

That's not what i meant iha...anyway...in behalf of my husband, i apologize, i know Hindi sapat yon para mawala lahat ng sakit SA dibdib ko, o burahinlahat ang kasalanan niya sainyongmagkapatid, pero still i wanted to say sorry

(Her kindness reminds her of her mother, Marry Anne, whom she listened to, have forgiven her father for having an affair with Esther, her older sister's Mother)

iha...you know ever since i have nothing against you right? i know and i saw how you made my son so happy, but (she held Abi's hand) ngayon palang bumabangon si Noah

gus...gusto niyo po bang layuan ko na siya? gusto niyo nabang umalis na ako sa trabaho ko?

Oh, Abi my dear... if i can bare everything for you and my son i will definitely do so...but you see, he and his father are not yet in good terms, i am just too afraid that when Enrique finds you here? He'll start another war with you and your sister and possibly caught Noah in between again

pero tita...wala na pong pakealam sakin ang anak niyo

i highly doubt that Abi... kahit Hindi niya aminin sa akin ang lahat, ramdam ko siya dahil ako ang ina niya...Abigail, i just don't want to see my son hurting again, i hope you understand...do not make someone fall in love without the intention of staying

-------------------------------------
