Truth No. 9: That Little Moments

A/N

Sorry kung now lang ako nakapagupdate. Life happens and I must attend to it. Salamat sa nagbabasa nito. At dahil sa botohan natapos ko to. 😂

Nicole's POV

"I will be eating outside, Che." I told my secretary.

"Okay, Ma'am Nicole." Che answers then gets back to whatever she is doing in her table.

A few weeks has already passed since the event and I still find myself smiling from the time that I had a good conversation with Alex but I'm little bit frustrated because now, I like to talk to her and become friends with her.

Really just a friend?

"Yeah. We have settled that didn't we?"

I just agreed last time for you to stop nagging me.

"Look who's talking"

As the elevator opens, I was a bit taken a back a little when I see that Alex is the only one riding the elevator. 

"Good afternoon." Alex greets me with a small smile.

"Good afternoon to you, too." I greeted her back with the same small smile that she gave me. We ride in comfortable silence. I'm already stepping outside the elevator when Alex calls me.

"Miss Nicole, do you want to have lunch with me?" Tanong nya habang kinakamot ang batok nya. I don't know why I find it cute though.

"Sure. Where are you heading out?" I ask with a small smile.

"I don't know if you will like it kasi sa may karinderya lang ako kakain ngayon." Sabi nya na halata ang hiya.

"It's okay. I'm not that picky." Sabi ko pero sa totoo lang iniisip ko na kung anong klaseng lugar ang kakainan namin.

We agreed na Alex will be the one to drive us to the place she invited me to eat, after all sya nakakaalam kung saan yun. After a few minutes of driving, we arrive in an old-looking house. Simple lang sya pero maraming taong pumapasok at lumalabas dito. Pumasok kami sa gate at nakita ko na parang kainin sa loob ng garden. Lumapit kami sa hilera ng mga ulam para pumili ng pagkain.

"Hello po, Manang Gina." Bati dito ni Alex. Mukhang madalas sya dito sa pamilyar nyang pagtawag sa matandang babaeng nagbibigay ng ulam.

"Oh, Alex! Ikaw pala yan? Anong ulam mo?" Magiliw namang tugon ng matanda.

"Yang adobong manok na lang, Manang. Ikaw?" Sagot nya sabay baling sa akin.

"Yung sinigang na lang siguro." Sagot ko naman.

"Abay kagandang bata naman nyang kasama mo, Alex." Sabi ni Manang Gina. Nakita kong ngumiti ng malawak si Alex kay Manang Gina pero wala itong sinabi.

"Maganda kaya rin tingin nya sa akin?"

Binitbit ni Alex ang mga pagkain malapit sa mga bulaklak na nakita ko kanina.

"Maganda ka raw." Sabi ni Alex.

"Oo naman." Sagot ko naman sabay tingin sa kanya. Saglit kaming nagkatitigan na nakapagsikdo ng aking puso tapos bigla kaming nagkatawanan.

"Parang lumakas bigla ang hangin dito." Sabi ni Alex na pinagtawanan lang namin. Overall we eat in a friendly manner so I enjoyed it. We agreed to have a cup of coffee for her and tea for me before heading back to the office.
