Chapter 19 - Unforgettable

Andre

I just can't believe myself that I'm driving to Ela's place! I'm nervous because I don't know what lies ahead of me when I reach their place. Well I guess I'm just trying my luck! I don't even tell Hunt about this.

I alight at my car and now standing in front of Stitches Shop door. There is a signage stating "CLOSED", but the hell I care! I'm searching for the doorbell but I can't find it! I knocked on the glass panel, although it's impossible that someone hears it but if no one opens this door, second option is to knock on the house main entrance. But I was just standing there for five minutes and I saw Nanay Flora rushing to assist me. I guess it is connected to their living room or maybe their kitchen room.

She was smiling when she saw me and hurriedly opens the door for me. "Naku Andy, salamat naman at napadaan ka. Halika at pumasok ka."

"Sorry po Nanay Flora sa abala, I-" she interrupted me.

"Naku Andy ikanalulugod kong mapagserbisyuhan ka ng kahit anong oras. Alam ko napabusy mong tao. Sabi nga ng anak ko, kung kinakailangang puntahan ka sa bahay mo at doon sukatan ay gagawin namin."

"A-ah talaga! I-i mean Nanay Flora, you will do that kind of service?" I know I'm asking stupid. I have professional top designers on my list who can give me a highest quality workmanship with superb personal service.

"Oo naman Andy." she really don't have any idea who I'am. "Upo ka muna, ikukuha kita ng maiinom. Nandiyan ang anak ko at siya na ang magsusukat sayo, huwag kang mag-alala at magaling yon, tawagin ko lang ha." she said smiling.

Tug dug, tug dug!!! My heart beats very fast than usual.

"Hmmm, sige po Nanay Flora."

My heart is dancing with delight! Haha! So glad to know that Ela is here and she's going to take my measurements instead of Nanay Flora. I'm nervous but I'm happy as well.

I was in my deep thought when the adjacent door opens and I saw Ela on it. I was mesmerized by her beauty. She is wearing a floral shorts and plain cream short sleeve blouse. She was chewing something and her dimples on her cheeks are visibly seen. She is stunningly beautiful!!! 

I stand and smile at her. Her presence was a roomful of flowers to me...

Blag!!! She slammed the door and disappeared behind it!

I was shocked!!! What's the problem? Is she's upset because she saw me?

And before I can conclude again, she came out smiling and apologetically says, "Sorry Sir, nalimutan ko kasi y-yung pinapakulo ko kaya bigla akong bumalik sa loob," and continuously chewing.

I breath in relief! I thought she's upset seeing me. "No problem." I smiled at her. "Hmm, Ela do you remember what I have told you last night? Please, just call me Andre if it's just the two of us." I said seriously reminding her what I have told her last night and I'm really dead serious about it. 

She's silent, just blankly staring at me and she swallowed all the sweets, looked down and press the bridge of her nose!

What the Hell!!! Do I-I have foul odor? I sprayed the most expensive perfume, Clive Christian perfume, what's wrong with her? She supposed to be happy seeing me, not like this, like, like she's smelling a....

"Ela, do I smell b-bad? Don't you like my perfume, is it too strong?"
