[Terenz]

When I woke up she's gone.Nairita ako sa totoo lang.Gusto ko siya ang una kong makikita pagkagising ko.
Pero ngayon ay wala na siya sa higaan.

'Where is she?' Iritado kong tanong sa isip ko.My phone rang so I stood up and held my phone to answer the call.
Mark calling...

"Hello."I start.

[Hey Renz, sorry kung nagising kita.]

"How did you know na kagigising ko lang? "

[Of course I know that.Halata kaya sa boses mo.Nakakaabala ba ako?]

"Of course not.Eksakto nga ang pagtawag mo dahil sa katunayan ay tatawagan din sana kita.Pero teka bakit ka nga pala napatawag?"

[You're an Engineer, right?]

"Yeah, I am.Why?"

[Parating kasi dito sa Pilipinas ang pinsan ko.She came from Europe and she planned to start a bussiness here in the Philippines.Naghahanap kasi siya ng Engineer na pwedeng gumawa ng building na gagawin niya para sa beauty salon niya.So I recommend you to her.Ano pwede ka ba?]

"Wait, she? You mean she's a girl?"

[Yes.She is.She is my first cousin in my father's side.And she's one of the best make up artist and fashion designer in France.She is my cousin so I hope you will help her.]

"Yes I will help her.Tell her I'm agree.
But wait, are you busy this day?"

[Ahm, hindi naman.Stay sa condo ko lang ako dahil wala akong work.Bakit?]

"Can we meet?"

[Yeah of course.Where and when?]

"Meet us in Foodelicious Restaurant at 12:00 sharp."

[Us? So you mean you're with someone?]

"Yes.And I'm sure you will surprise if you met her.I can't wait to see your facial reaction.But please don't be late.Bye."

[Babae ba ya-]

I ended the call and just threw my phone in bed.

Pumasok na ako sa banyo at nagshower.And after that I went down stair and find Thea.I found her in kitchen cooking for our breakfast.

"Good Morning."I greet her and I gave her a peck on her cheeks.

"Mabuti gising ka na.Don't worry malapit na maluto ito.Maupo ka na lang muna diyan at tatapusin ko na lang itong ginagawa ko."sabi niya habang busy sa pagluluto ng omelete.

She's wearing a white short, a sleeveless with matching apron, and she's holding an spatula that makes her beautiful and cute.

She's cooking a breakfast for me.A breakfast for us.I really missed this.
I missed wake up in the morning with her.

Naupo na ako at mga ilang saglit lang ay inihain na niya ang mga pagkain.
It's just a simple breakfast that everyone can prepare.She cooked my favorite cheesy omelete, a bacon, a rice, and a spam.She also served coffee, and bread.Mga simpleng pagkain na nagpangiti sa akin.

"Kain na tayo."Aya niya.

We started eating.We are talking while eating so I decided to enter Mark in our conversation.

"Tumawag nga pala si Mark kanina."Panimula ko.Natigil naman siya sa pag-inom at napatingin sa akin.

"Who's Mark?"she asked curiously.

"He is my classmate on college.He's my blockmate in Engineering during my college day but in second semester in our first year in college he transfered to other course.And now he is a Detective and working in NBI.
And he is the one who will help us.
I told you him before when we are in the cementery.Remember?"I said.
