Chapter 25. Parokya ni Sef! (Parts 1-6)

10:00 am
Starbucks near MUP

All the female customers seated comfortably in Starbucks , including the baristas at the counter, couldn’t help but steal quick glances at him. Pero walang makaporma sakanya. Wala ding maglakas ng loob na lumapit because of the deadly scowl masking his handsome face.

He was obviously angry as he clutched the empty cup of coffe he had ordered around 7:55am that morning. The poor cup was now completelydeformed. Sinalo na nito ang lahat ng galit at inis ng binata.

“Darn!!” he cursed under his breathe. “Asan na yung babaeng yun??”

Miguel Josef Uy Monteverde arrived here at exactly 7:55am, five minutes earlier. Pero ano? 10 o’clock na at wala pa rin ni anino ni Eleonor Malicsi Dimaculangan. He has been waiting for her for two hours now.

He glared furiously at his watch.

10:01 na… and Ellie was still nowhere in sight.

Don’t tell me, ininjan niya ko??

10:30 am
Outside Starbucks

Eleonor Malicsi Dimaculangan

Hindi ko alam kung anong lakad at takbo ang gagawin ko. 9.30 na ko nagising kanina. And it took me a whole thirty minutes before I remembered the call of Japo last night. Ni hindi na nga ako nakapag tooth brush eh at hindi na ko nakapag suklay ng buhok. GRAAAABBBEEEHH!!

I’M LATE! Siguradong wala na dun si Sef… at dapat maghanda na ko!! Baka ako na ang sumunod kay Ryan sa ospital!!!

I took the first pair of skinny jeans at white sleeveless shirt sa cabinet ko at agad-agad sinuot ang favorite kong chucks converse kahit na natetempt na kong mag-tsinelas na lang. I grabbed my phone, shoved it in my pocket the same thing with my wallet na wala namang laman except yung 800 pesos na na kick-back ko kay Mrs. Navarro kagabi. Ayoko kasi ng nagba-bag!! Ayoko ng may mga abubot ako nuh!!

After an hour or so… Hingal na hingal ako pagdating ko sa Starbucks. Malayo pa kasi lalakarin pag baba ko ng jeep. Siguro kung nakikita niyo ko ngayon, masasabi niyong, Ellie, mahangin ba sa labas? Naku, buti nga matulin yung jeep na sinakyan ko ee. As in yung tipong tutumba na kami sa sobrang adik niyang magmaneho!!

Pero… teka nga lang… SINO BA NAMAN KASING GENTLEMAN ANG HINDI SUMUSUNDO SA DATE NIYA SA BAHAY??

Nakakaimbyerna na tong si Sef aa!! This was all his idea pati ako idadamay sa mga kalokohan niya!! Tumigil muna ko saglit sa tabi ng isang L300 na van para manalamin. Hindi na pang tao ang ayos ng buhok ko ee.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Wooh.

Pagpasok ko sa Starbucks I quickly scanned the area. Pinagtinginan pa nga ako ng mga tao, buti na lang talaga nag sapatos ako, kasi kung hindi baka lalo nila kong napagkamalang holdapper kung naka tsinelas lang ako. I took a deep breathe eyeing every person seated sa couch sa loob ngStarbucks.

And to my own dismay, there was no SEF in sight. Umalis na yun sigurado chaka… teka… baka hindi nman talaga siya dumating?? Baka… pina-paasa lang niya ko dito at…

I froze and my jaw almost dropped to the ground. Bigla kasing lumabas si Miguel Josef Uy Monteverde mula doon sa CR looking so breathlessly handsome in his blue jacket na naka open completely exposing his bare chest!! OOOh… sizzling HOT!!! He was wearing denim pants at nike na rubber shoes!! God, how could someone like him wearing just simple clothes could look this perfect!! He didn’t notice me at first, but when his eyes landed on mine… talagang napatigil siya and he frowned angrily at me.
