Fiancée

Tahimik kaming kumain pagkadating ng pagkain. We didn't negotiate at all, pakiramdam ko ay wala talagang problema sa mga makina at ginawa niya lang iyong dahilan para mangyari ang gusto niya.

"By the way, what's the problem with the machine?" Tanong ko pagkatapos makalahati ang pagkain. Inayos ko ang kubyertos, I'm done eating.

Kinagat niya ang labi niya at tumitig sa pinggan ko. He stare at it for awhile then look at me. Nagtaas ako ng kilay, hinihintay ang sagot niya.

"Are you done eating?" Aniya at tinignan ang aking hindi ubos na pagkain at maayos na kubyertos.

"Yes, I don't usually eat heavy meal on dinner. Bakit? May problema ba?"

"Kaya pala ang payat mo, eat more." Nagtaas ako ng labi at sarcastic siyang tinignan. He smirked then proceed eating. Ngumuso ako, ang sungit mo Johansson!

"Ikaw lang ang lalaking nagsasabing payat ako." Umirap ako at kahit ganoon ay nagpatuloy padin ako sa pagkain!

"Bakit, ano ba ang sinasabi nila sayo?" I feel like we're some young couple fighting over petty things.

Umupo siya ng maayos at tinitigan ako. Nag-iwas ako ng tingin at umiling. I don't want to boast infront of him, kung ano pa isipin niya.

"Does your boyfriends in France tell you that you're hot and sexy?" biglang kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi niya and I know that deep inside me, kahit tanggihan ko man, ay medyo nasaktan doon.

It's like four years ago again. That aura and feeling, dark and cold.

"You didn't hire reliable and effective investigator, Johansson." Umirap ako at uminom na lang ng wine para mawala ang kaba sa dibdib ko. Thinking if he really hired some experts to look at my life in France.

"I didn't. I just assumed."

"Then don't assume to much, nakamamatay."

His eyes are leering with anger while his lips are pressed into a line. Inabot niya ang wine at ininom iyon ng hindi tinatanggal ang paningin sa akin. Hinigpitan ko ang pagkakahawak sa tinidor bago ako kumawala sa tinginan naman.

The Johansson in front of me is more intense, mysterious and muscular compare to the man I met and grew up with. Biglang tumunog ang phone niya at napunta ang atensyon niya doon. Bumugtong hininga ako na para bang inipon ko iyon at ngayon lang nagkaroon ng pagkakataong huminga.

"Good evening..." malalim na pagkakasabi niya. Pinaglalaruan niya ang coupe at doon nakatingin kayaaa sinulit ko na iyon para titigan ng matagalan ang mukha niya.

He have an almost symmetrical face, halata sa mukha niya ang pagiging half-European. He had this face that will stop you from doing things and people will gossip how beautiful this man is. I used to tease him with his slim body at ngayon ay kinakain na ako ng sarili kong salita. He's no longer that thin boy who only like mental games in grade school. Women will drool over his body especially when wearing a corporate attire.

Ngumiwi ako at tinignan ang butones ng kanyang puting polo na tanggal ang dalawang unang butones. Sigurado akong nagkaroon na siya ng maraming babae pagkaalis ko, ayoko nang makibalita pa kina Maxxine dahil obvious naman na totoo. How about Kelsey? Alam ba ng mga naging babae niya na si Kelsey ang nakatakda para sakaniya? That they only have body but his future will depend with her?

"I can't go tonight, I'm having dinner with someone." aniya at tinignan ako pero agad din binalik ang tingin sa kanyang coupe

"Just tell Austin that his ass will rot if he wait for me." he chuckled. I got stunned and amazed with his laugh. That laugh that I love to hear every single day and I can't help but boast that I used to make him smile and laugh genuinely.
