Estranged Love

Chapter 4

Kakatapos lang kausapin ng receptionist si Alyssa para sabihin wala na silang room para sa kanya.

How is that even possible? I booked and you even gave me a room earlier. It just so happened that it was already occupied. Sabi ni Alyssa.

I know ma'am and i really apologize. It was a technical error. Sabi ng receptionist.

So where will I stay now? Tanong niya dito.

We can wait until someone checked out or cancel their booking for tomorrow. Since the mistake is from our side, we will give you a refund and will let you stay for free. Sabi nito.

How can you give me a free stay if you don't have available room? Tanong ni Alyssa.

I know Ma'am but we are trying our best. We tried to book you in another hotel but they're fully booked as well. Paliwanag nito.

Okay, I'll stay in the lobby until you get me a room. Ang tanging nasabi ni Alyssa.

Walang saysay kung magalit pa siya. She's tired and sleepy. If she could just shower to freshen up. Kaninang umaga pa siya nagkaproblema. Nilapitan niya si Kiefer para sana makiusap dito na baka pwede muna sya makiligo sa room nito pero nagulat siya ng bigla nitong sabihin na she's his girlfriend.

Bago pa makareact si Alyssa at sabihing di totoo ang sinasabi ni Kiefer ay nilapitan siya ni Mozzy at Dani saka niyakap. Gulat man, hindi naman niya ito tinulak.

Welcome to the family hija. So you're the reason why Kiefer was here few days before we arrived. Sabi ni Mozzy habang nakangiting nakatingin kay Alyssa.

I just flew in today, Ma'am. Sagot ni Alyssa at bigla naman tumawa si Dani

Mom is a doctor not a teacher. Sabi ni Dani.

Sorry doc. Litong litong sagot ni Alyssa kaya natawa ang pamilya ni Kiefer.

You're so cute. May panggigigil na sabi ni Dani.

She's funny manong. Sabat ni Thirdy.

Congrats Kief. Sabi naman ng dad niya.

Hija, you look so tired. Kakarating mo lang ba? You had dinner na ba? Sunod sunod na tanong ni Mozzy.

Yes po, delayed flight and now I don't know what's happening. I booked but they're saying they don't have a room available for me. Sabi niya na parang batang nagsusumbong kay Mozzy.

Aww that's sad. Sabi ni Mozzy.

Why don't you just stay with Manong. I'm sure he won't mind and besides you're together. Singit ni Thirdy.

Oo nga hija. Gabi na and mukhang you need to rest. I'm sure they can't find you a room now because i don't see anyone checking out. Sabi ni Bong.

Your tito is right. What's your name nga ulit? Tanong ni Mozzy dahil hindi naman sinabi ni Kiefer ang pangalan niya nung sinabi nitong siya ang girlfriend.

Alyssa po. Pero tita it doesn't look good naman to stay in Kiefer's room. Sabi niya.

Kesa naman dito ka sa lobby magstay. I would offer Dani's room but her friend is also coming in a while. Sabi nito sa kanya.

Babe sa room ko na lang ikaw magstay. I can sleep in the couch if you're not comfortable sleeping together. Sagot ni Kiefer. Gusto man tanggihan ni Alyssa wala na siyang choice dahil gustong gusto na niyang humiga.

Okay. Sagot niya.

Then we're settled. Do you want to rest now or do you want to come with us and have late dinner? Tanong ni Bong.
