Chapter 9

“Ok that’s a wrap!”Masiglang sabi ng photographer.

Tapos ay lumapit sa magandang modelo nito. Maganda talaga sya. Mestisa, half-spanish kasi ito, matangkad at sexy. Halos lahat ng tao sa studio ay natutulala sa kanya. Sobrang head turner ang beauty nya.

“You did a great job! You’re as good as always, Elise…” sabi ng photographer.

“Thanks…paano I’m working with the best.” Nakangiting sagot nito.

“Nah..Anyway, gotta go…send my regards to John.” Nagbeso pa ito bago tuluyang umalis.

“Sure…see you soon..”

Tapos umalis na ang photographer. Naiwan si Elise, may kinukuha sya sa bag nya ng biglang may humalik sa cheeks nya.

“Hon, you’re just on---” nagulat ito. Si Migs pala

“Oh…Hi…”

“Parang nakakita ka ng multo? Nakakapagtampo naman reaction mo. We haven’t seen each other in a while tapos parang di mo man lang ako namiss.” Nakapuppy dog face ito.

Nangiti na si Elise.

“Hay naku! Miguel…you’re still cute when you do that…Of course, I miss you jerk!”

“Good to know…So, you wanna have coffee, snacks?”

“Maybe next time…John will be here in a minute…”hesitant nitong sabi.

Natahimik sya.

“If you want, we could all have coffee…matagal na tayong di lumalabas na tatlo…kinda miss those times.” Sabi ni Elise. Kita mo sa mga mata nya na nalulungkot sya.

“Not today siguro.” Pilit ngiting sagot nya dito. “Ano ba naman yang si John…He shouldn’t keep you waiting…kung ako lang yan babantayan kita buong photoshoot mo.” Gusto nya sanang magjoke.

“Hey…” Saway nito. “Can’t we not cross that line again?”

Napabuntong hininga lang silang dalawa.

“Anyway, It’s nice seeing you again…I really missed you…hope we could hang out soon…you, me, and John…” seryosong sabi nito.

Ngumiti lang sya dito.

“See you soon…” Nagbeso ito sa kanya.

Tumango lang sya.

God! Elise…I really do love you….

Sinundan na lang nya ito ng tingin. He’ll do everything to win her.

What the?! Tama ba nakikita ko or my vision is not working properly? Ipinikit nya ang mga mata nya tapos minulat ulit. Pero “sya” talaga ang nakikita ng mga mata nya. Unexpected of all places na makikita nya pa ito ditto sa work place nya. Everything that has been happening with her lately is really insane.

Halatang gulat din ang lalaki sa harapan nya na makita siya dito. It’s been what? Almost a year na ni anino nito ay di nya na nakita. Wala naman siyang balak hanapin pa ito. Pero bakit parang pinaglalaruan sya lately ng tadhana.

Kakarecover lang nya from the fact that Migs is her boss…move on na sya dun. Pero ito, seeing her ex standing in front of her. Hindi lang pagkagulat…andun pa din ang sakit, yung tipong parang may tumutusok sa puso niya at humhapdi ang mata nya.

Bakit kelangan magkrus ulit ang landas nila ni Ethan?

Bago pa man tuluyang madala sya ng emosyon nya ay tinalikuran nya ito. Nagmamadali syang pumunta sa nakaparada niyang kotse. Pero hinabol sya ni Ethan.

“Nica...wait…” Tawag nito.

Pero hindi siya lumingon. Aktong bubuksan niya ang kotse ng hinila nito ang braso nya.

“Nica…Can we talk?...please..”Pagmamakaawa nito. May halong sadness at guilt ang boses nya.

Gago! Ang kapal ng mukha talaga! She tried to maintain her poise.

“There’s nothing to talk about…So excuse me, I’m in a hurry.” Tumingin pa sya dito at pinilit ngumiti.

God! It pains her seeing him like this. Alam nyang nasasaktan din ito. Pero mas nasaktan sya. Dapat lang na magsisisi sya at makonsensya. Pero kahit ganun alam nya sa sarili na namiss nya ito.

“There are plenty of things to talk about…I haven’t explained to you why---”

“No need for that… sobrang tapos nay un…matagal na…dapat kalimutan na.”

“Please…I want to talk to you…Nica…” He begged.

Tinanggal nya ang pagkakahawak nito sa braso nya at sumakay .

“Im sorry…I need to go…” mahinang sabi niya.

Sumakay na sya sa kotse. Pero bago pa man nya mapaandar ang kotse ay dali-daling pumunta ang lalaki sa harapan ng space kung saan nakaparada ang kotse nya at lumuhod ito dun.

Jerk! Hindi pa rin ito nagbabago. Kagaya pa rin sya ng dati. Ganitong-ganito ang ginagawa nya para mapapayag sya sa kung anu mang favor.

Sumilip sya sa bintana ng kotse. At sinigawan ang lalaki…

“Really Ethan?! You are crazy!” Napailing na lang sya. “Get up!”

“No! I won’t unless you’ll talk to me.” He firmly said.

“Tumayo ka na dyan. Nakakahiya! Para kang tanga.”

“Please…alam kung galit na galit ka sa akin pero we need to sort things out…I don’t want us to part ways like this…”

Part ways… Hearing this from him kind of touches some sensitive part in her heart.

“Please…” He begged once again.

Kahit kelan persistent talaga ito. That’s one thing na nagustuhan niya dito. Bukod syempre na gwapo din ito. How can she resists him?

“Okay…let’s talk…Get in…” She surrendered.

“Thank you so much Nics…” Nakangiting sabi nito.

And his face lightened. Kita sa mukha nya na narelieve sya kahit paano. How can I stay mad when you show that vulnerable side of you?

************************************************************************************************************

Nakatingin si Migs sa labas ng bintana ng condo nya. Nagmumuni-muni. Nasaksihan niya ang nangyari sa parking lot kanina. Paalis na sya ng makita na may kasamang lalaki si Nica.

Siyempre nacurious sya. Kaya nagstay sya at medyo inabangan ang manyayari. Parang they had an argument.

Naring nyang tinawag nya itong Ethan….

Ethan…

Nag-ring ang phone nya.

“Yes Bro!” sagot nito.

“Really? Thanks for the info man…Ok, I’ll talk to you soon…say hi to Cheska for me…no, I’ll tell you when I see you…ok, bye.” At binaba na nya ang phone.

Now, I  know what to do…
