I blinked and tried to gulp again. Breathe Violet! Wag ka magpahalata. You can handle this thing. Silver hasn’t remembered anything at all.

“Yeah… But we had this uhm… terrible fight before so I think it would be awkward if we eat at another place. I just don’t feel comfortable in here.” I stated. I really need to get out of this place. A place where Silver, Scarlet and I are on? Oh God! It was suffocating me especially now that I had this pretending thingy!

“You look pale Baby and you are sweating. Are you sure you’re okay?” Silver asked and I didn’t hesitate to stand. God knows how I wanted to get out of this place.

“I -  I am fine. I just don’t like it here. Can we go to another place Baby?” I forced an awkward smile.

“Sure. Just make sure you’re okay.”

And we went out of that place without being noticed by Scarlet. I think I just had a very hard scene awhile ago. I cant bear if it’ll happen again..

***

Generalized amnesia was the type of amnesia Silver has. He can’t remember any events which had occurred in his early life before the accident. He still has his encyclopedic information yet he can’t remember more often some events, himself and people around him. With some sort of medications, he will be able to remember anything at any time. That worries me more.

I gave a deep sigh before looking at the mirror for the last time. This was the night that I will have a dinner date with Mr. Yakihiro. I wonder how he looks like. I never saw him in personal. Palagi kasing assistant ko yung pinapameet ko if necessary. I bet he’s in late 40s with those super small chinito eyes and some wrinkles. I don’t stereotype those Japanese, it is just how I figure Mr. Yakihiro.

I went directly to the Japanese Restaurant where we should have our dinner. Silver had been nagging me on where I was going this dinner kasi nga di niya ako makakasama but I never bothered telling him. Paano ba naman kasi, if I’ll tell him that  I’ll meet some Japanese man, he will be hysterical and won’t let me come. That’s how possessive he is. I admit, I am really happy on what’s happening now between us and Silver. For my more than 20 years of existence, I finally felt happiness. However, this happiness was guided by pain. Let us say, every time na pinapakilig ako ni Silver, si Scarlet agad ang naiisip ko. It hurts because after smiling at his sweet acts, the next thing that came in my head was asking if he had already done this with Scarlet or was this supposed to be for Scarlet?

I entered the Japanese restaurant where Mr. Yakihiro and I decided to meet. I wore an elegant dark green dress. Of course, I need to look presentable and fashionable in front of Mr. Yakihiro.

 

“Follow me Ma’am.” The waiter said after I told him that Mr. Yakihiro had reserved a table for me. He guided me into a seat and I never expected what I saw. Mr. Yakihiro is not just any ordinary Japanese old guy. I mean, he is hot! He’s not old as how I imagine it. We just look like to be at the same age. He looks like a manga character that I’ve read when I am still high school.

 

“Good evening Mr. Yakihiro.” I flashed a sweet smile at him before I extended my hand. I examined him for a while. Well, he has this fashion sense too. He’s handsome and obviously, he looks rich. Silver’s also has a blood of being Japanese. I think his grandfather was a half-Filipino and half-Japanese.

 

“Good evening too Ms. Madrigal. Have a seat.” He also gave me a sweet smile that him more handsome. His eyes became smaller. One thing too, his English accent was really good.

We talked for a while as we wait for our order. He keeps on complementing me and I did the same thing too. I am not flirting here by the way; this is how you handle a business. I need to leave a good rapport. I find him handsome but now how I find Silver as the perfect man.

We also talked about business and stuffs when our order came. I can say that Mr. Yakihiro is a humorous person. He can make me laugh every time he cracks a joke.

 

“So how about you love life? With that beauty, I won’t believe if you’re single.” He suddenly asked and I blushed with such compliment. Plus the fact that I remember Silver. Since I had liked Silver, I always long to introduce him as my lover which I think, I can do now.

I smiled before I answered his question. “I am already engaged.”

 

“I see. Well, I guess, it’s not my lucky day.” I know Mr. Yakihiro was just joking and I need to just rideon.

 

“Oh, Mr. Yakihiro. Japanese girls are also gorgeous. Haven’t you met anyone?”

 

“Firstly, just call me Hiro and Secondly, I prefer Filipinas. I thought I had met one when I saw you but I think I just arrived too late?” I laughed at his statement. I was about to tell him that he’s quite a joker when someone just cleared his throat loudly. We turned our head to see, of course, it had caught our attention and I was really shocked to see Silver looking at me – I mean glaring at us. Kanina pa ba siya anjan? Sinundan ba niya ako?

“So, why did you laugh? I am not actually joking.” I turned my head back to Mr. Yakihiro – I mean Hiro when he went back to our topic. Uh – oh. Silver’s listening and this is totally awkward.

“Ahem… Ahem…” By this time, Silver faked a cough. I know it was fake because he immediately reacted on Hiro’s statement. I just smiled at Hiro awkwardly. I can’t just ruin this dinner with him but I can’t disappoint Silver at the same time.

“You can be joking Hiro. I am really engaged.” Maybe, making this statement would make Silver at ease. Alam kong nagseselos si Silver at ayuko nun pero gusto ko rin. Thinking that Silver is jealous of some other men because of me? Kinikilig na ako.

“I think you’re the one joking. I don’t see any ring anyways.” Shit! Bakit pa yan nasabi ni Hiro. Baka pati si Silver, magduda na rin. I quickly hid my hands under the table. I laughed awkwardly again. I saw Silver stood up from his seat at naglakad patungo saamin. This is really shit!

“Good evening Mr…” I gulped when I saw Silver extending his hands to Hiro. “I am Silver Tejano…”

 

I saw Hiro being confused at Silver’s act. Why won’t he? Ikaw ba naman ang lapitan ng lalaki sa kabilang table nyo.

“…Violet’s fiancé.”  And I can’t help but smile at what he said.
