Chapter 10

Chapter Ten

"Ilang beses na bang pinapanood yan ni Key? For pete's sake."

"You have no idea."

"To think it's been days!"

"Memorize ko na nga ang buong scene eh."

Mula sa usapan ng mga butihin niyang kaibigan ay nag-angat siya ng tingin. Isa-isa niya silang tinignan. Lj is holding a folder while reading something. Ang triplets naman ay abala sa kanya-kanyang frappe and blueberry cake na in-order nila.

"Oh, tapos ka ng kiligin?" One of the triplets raised her eyebrow at her.

She smiled happily. "Hai! " She nodded.

The other two sighed. "At panigurado, bukas na bukas paulit-ulit na naman niyang papanoorin ang munting scene nilang iyon sa hospital."

Inirapan niya ang mga ito. "Nilibre ko kayo ng cake and drink!"

"So? Cafe mo naman to kaya dapat lang."

Again, she rolled her eyes at them. "Nilulugi niyo na nga ang Cherry Blossom's Cafe ko sa Belladona, hanggang dito ba naman sa branch ko sa city?"

The three shrugged. "That's what friends are for."

"Psh. Ang yayaman niyo kaya." Ismid niya sa tatlo.

The three grinned at her. "Ikaw din naman ah."

Lagi talagang may comeback ang mga ito sa kanya. Bumaling siya kay Lj. "Anyway, masasamahan mo ba ako sa concert ng Summer's Dawn?" She used her puppy dog eyes.

Lj look at her from the file she's reading. "Diba itong tatlo ang sasama sa'yo?"

"We can't. Lolo want us over dinner that day, he'll be having some visitor and our presence is highly much needed." One of the three explained.

"Anong araw nga ulit yon?" Lj asked as she get her phone and check her calendar.

"Sasamahan mo na ako?" Nagningning ang kanyang mga mata.

"I can't promise yet. But i'll try." She smiled.

Napasimangot siya bigla. "Sa sabado na yon, eight pm. Tuesday na ngayon."

"I'll try."

"Oo na lagi naman, ang bu-busy niyo kasi." Pagddrama niya.

Lj sighed. "Don't start with that drama of yours Key."

"Kasi naman, Erin is busy with Keenan, Leian is busy with her family, Ianna is enjoying her married life, Therine is busy with Crescent and that playboy Rye, ikaw busy ka lagi sa mga court hearings mo." Malungkot siyang bumuntong-hininga. "Tong triplets naman, lulubog-lilitaw. Tapos si Sierra napaka-busy din. I've got no one but you girls. Pero you all have a life to live." Nagpapaawa niyang tinignan si Lj.

This must work! Saad niya sa utak.

Lj raised her hands in submission. "Okay fine, i'll come with you in that so called concert."

"Really?!" She beamed happily.

Lj nodded.

"Yes!" She clapped excitedly.

"Oh ayan, nadala na si Lj sa pagddrama mo. Congratulations!" Ngisi ng triplets.

"Tell me next time not to fall for that pleading eyes and cute face." Baling ni Lj sa tatlo.

Siya, nakangiti lang, masaya dahil solved na ang kanyang problema. Hindi siya magpapakaloner sa concert na iyon.

Lahat sila ay napatingin sa umilaw niyang phone na nakapatong si mesa.
