Less Talk, More Stalk

Chapter 11 : Battle of the Cold War

Sorry for waiting too long for the next chapter. Been so busy and stressed out. Hope you still read my story 😉

"Good morning Chef"
"Good morning also Cindy. Uhm, unfortunately I have paperworks to take care of. So Chef Yna will train you from now on"
"Po?"
"Since you're competing against me, I guess it's okay to leave you now then"
"Ahh, okay Chef"
.......
"Oh, bakit parang nabagsakan ka ng langit?"
"Po? Ay, sorry po Chef Yna"
"Hmm, hindi ka ba masaya na ako na ang inagtuturo sa'yo ngayon?"
"Po? Ahh, hindi po Chef. It's just that-"
"Namimiss mo si Chef no?"
"Po? Hindi po ah!"
"Wala pa nga akong sinabing pangalan, nag react ka na agad. Haha. Okay lang yan. Hayaan mo, mamimiss ka rin nun"
"(nalungkot) Okay lang ako Chef. Tapusin  ko muna itong appetizer then ipa check ko lang po sa inyo"
"Ikaw bahala. Sabi mo eh"
......
"One week ka nang hindi pinapansin ni Chef Russle ah, nag away ba kayo?"
"Wala naman akong natatandaan na nag argue kami"
"Oh, andito pala si Chef eh"
"(Bumulong) ate, wag kang maingay"
"Chef-"
"(Tinakpan kamay ni Coreen) (Hinanap si Chef) (Binitawan agad) Niloloko mo lang ako eh"
"Uto uto ka kasi. Oh, Chef"
"Ha, hindi na ako uto uto"
"(Bumulong) Hindi ako nagsisinungaling"
"Pero inuuto mo lang ako. At tsaka, busy yun sa office niya. Hindi na nga yun nanangamusta sa akin. Kung okay lang ba ako sa training"
"(Bumulong) Tingnan mo yung nasa likod mo"
"Ha?"
"*Ehem*"
"Ay palaka! Ah..ahh. Che-Chef!"
"Are you alright? I was just tring to check if there's nothing burning in the kitchen"
"Ahh, actually, Flaming heart lang po meron"
"What?"
"Ahh, sabi po ni ate yung burning passion po. Yung grabe yung sensation ng mga tao dito about sa passion po nila"
"Ahh"
"Diba ate? (Death Stare) Tsaka ate, kamusta na yung inaasikauhan mong saúntë pasta doon?"
"Okay sister, aalis na po ako. Chef, Excuse me po"
"So Chef, ikaw mag tri-train sa akin today?"
"hmm? Ahh, no, I was just checking. I'll go back to the office now"
"Ganun po ba. Okay Chef :)"
"Cge, I'll go back now"
"Naku. Tsk tsk."
"Bakit Chef Yna?"
"Iniiwasan ka niya. Like hello. Kahapon pa niya natapos yung paper works. Dapat siya na ang nagtri-train sa'yo ngayon"
"hmm, baka lang po competition niya ako kaya ganun po"
"Hmm, baka nga because there's no other reason for him to avoid you"
"Kaya nga po, wag tayong mag jump into conclusions. Kasi we'll get hurt by our assumptions in short, wag tayo mag expect"
"Huyy, bakit ang petmalu ng hugot mo? Wala naman akong sinabing mag expect ka"
"Ahh, wala po. Ano lang po, random though"
"Ahh ganun ba. Oh, let's try baking. Desserts na naman pag aralan natin"
"Okay Chef"
......
"Oh, Cindy. Waiting for someone?"
"Ahh, wala po Chef naghihintay lang po ako ng taxi"
"Ahh, I see. Oh, Chef Yna is here. You can go with her"
"Po?"
"Huy, bakit sa akin mo pinasa? Nasa Coding yung plate ko ngayon eh. Sa'yo na kami sasabay"
"Huh?"
"Anong ha, sabi ko wala akong sasakyan ngayon kaya diyan kami sasabay ni Cindy. Sabi mo sasabay siya sa akin eh"
"It's okay Chef Yna, magtataxi nalang po ako. Baka ma hassle pa po si Chef Russle"
"Ano ka ba. Sasabay ka sa akin. Yun nga lang kotse ni Russle pero wag ka nang magtampo. Ang importante safe kang makaka uwi"
"You can take the taxi then we will just follow you"
"Ano?" "Po?"
"That's my suggestion if you don't want to hop in the car"
"*Ano bang problema tong Chef na to* Thanks for the suggestion Chef but really I'm fine without the help"
"Ano ka ba Russle. Paano kung magaling yung taxi driver niyan tapos naiwala tayo edi mari-rape pa yan. Kasalanan mo pa"
"Why is this my fault? Besides, she kept insisting that she can do it on her own"
"*Fine then* (Calls taxi) Goodbye na po sa inyo Chef. Mauuna na po ako"
"That brat! i didn't told her to take a taxi in just seconds. Did you see what she did?!"
"Sabi ko kasi sa'yo eh! Tara habulin natin!"
.......
"Naku, mapapatay talaga kita kapag napahamak si Cindy!"
"Why are you blaming it on me?!"
"Rus, why are you such a douchebag this days?"
"What are you talking about?!"
"You kept avoiding Ci-"
"Hey, look! He stopped beside the street sign. I swear if that faggot touched Cindy I will punch him hard"
"Wow, acting all concerned. In the first place you got her into the situation like this!"
"What took them so long, it's already past five minutes"
"We have to get her, now!"
"(Lumabas) Chef Yna?"
"Cindy! Don't worry we're here! (Slaps the driver) Ang tanda tanda mong lalake mangrerepae ka ng dis oras ng gabi!"
"Chef Yna, what are you talking about?"
"Cindy, are you okay? Where's  manong? I'll punch him if he harassed you (Hinihingal)"
"At bakit mo naman gagawin yun? Ano bang nangyari sa inyo?"
"Yna I think she's traumatized right now. She's not coming out of her senses"
"Cindy, don't worry. The police will help us. I'll call them now . *tut* *tut-"
"Wait! Mali ang iniisp ninyo. Na flat yung tire ni manong kaya he called for help"
"Pero bakit ang tagal ninyo sa loob?"
" Kaya kami natagalan sa loob is because I insisted to pay my fare and sinuklian niya lang pera ko"
"I told you Yna! We should've stay calmed"
"Wow. Nahiya naman ako sa reaction mo"
"Well, everything's fine now. I guess I have no choice than to drive you home"
"Buti naman at naisip mo yan. Kanina pina-"
"I can take care of my own"
"Well, you almost gave us an headache"
"It wasn't my problem kung bakit kayo nag iimagine ng kung ano ano"
"That's why you have to get in the car right now"
"I make my own choices. Total, I can see it in your face that you are not happy. Ayoko namang ipagsiksikan sarili ko"
"(Binuhat si Cindy) stop nagging you brat"
"Aray! Ang sakit!"
"(lock the doors) No one is leaving the car. Now, let's go"
...............
"Alis na po ako Chef Yna (Slams the car door)"
"This brat! You didn't even thanked for the ride!"
"THANK YOU!"
"Psh!"
"Oh, tama na. Ikaw kasi eh. Hindi mo pinansin ng ilang weeks. Pinasa mo pa sa akin yung duties mo. Tapos iniiwasan mo pang makasama. Tingnan mo tuloy nagalit sayo"
"And why would I worry? I have my reason. Acceptable reasons"
"Then explain it to her. She's still a woman so don't expect that nothing would bother her. Hindi mo kasi gets ang mga babae"
"What are talking about?"
"Sabi ko, magbigay ka nga apologetic explanation or peace offering"
"Why on earth would I do that?"
"Kung may natitira ka pang konsensya. Make me believe that you're more mature here. Let's go na, I want to go home right now"
"I'm not even you're driver"
"Watever"
.......................
"Psh, why do I even care about her. She's just my trainee. And besides it's not like we're gonna be with each other for a long time. I would just waste this cake. I'll just thro-"
"Uyy! Ano yan?"
"What the-! Yna! You could've given me a heart attack! Get out!"
"Sayo ba tong kitchen? Hindi naman ah. Patingin! Yan na ba peace offering mo kay Cindy?"
"No! This is a part of the menu"
"Kelan pa may umorder ng mango tart sa atin?"
"New thing. Don't be such a nosy. Dun ka sa labas!"
"Uyy. Nagtatagalog siya, meaning you're nervous about something. In denial ka pa"
"I told you I'm telling the truth"
"Sa pagkakaalam ko favorite flavour niyan ni Cindy ah. Wow, niresearch ko talaga"
"Shut up. (Tinutulak si Yna) get out Yna"
"Sayang absent siya"
"What?"
"Interested?"
"No. Why?"
"Ayaw ka daw niyang makita"
"(Sad face)"
"Joke lang. Eto naman. May pinuntahan lang na importanteng bagay"
"Huh? As if I care. Psh"
"hmm! As if I care raw. Eh bakit nag bake ka ng cake? Akin na nga yan. Kakainin ko nalang"
"(umiwas kay Yna) No!"
"Sayang!"
"No!"
"Kay Cindy talaga yan no?!"
"Yes. I mean no!"
"Hmm! Bahala ka na nga. (gets icing on the cake) hehe!"
"Psh! That sneaky rugrat! Psh. What would I do about you now (Looking at the cake)"
