She's My Boss

Chapter 6

"Anong ginagawa mo dito?! Ang aga aga pa ah!" nagtataka kong tanong dito sa bisita kong alas-singko pa lang ng umaga nangbubulahaw na

"Di ba nga getting to know stage tayo?" sagot naman nito na napakamot pa ng ulo

"Kailangan talaga madaling araw? After 2 days na hindi ka nagpakita simula nung i announce mo yung getting to know leche na yun magpapakita ka kung kelan sarap na sarap ako sa pagtulog ko?! Kita mo nakapajama pa ako! Hindi pa ako nakakapaghilamos! Yung buhok ko parang pugad na ng manok tapos-"

" masarap din ang pandesal sa strawberry jam diba? "sabi nya matapos pasakan ng pandesal ang bunganga ko, nginuya ko muna yung pandesal at nilunok bago ko sya binatukan

"at sinong nagsabi sayo na pwede mo akong subuan ng pagkain habang nagsasalita ako ha?!" gigil kong sabi

"Aray naman cupcake! Masaket" sabi pa nito ng muli ko syang batukan "sorry na, kailangan kasi natin pumunta ng maaga dun sa pupuntahan natin kasi mas magandang pumunta dun ng maaga, walang traffic" nakangusong sabi nya

"Edi dapat sinabi mo agad!" sigaw ko sa kanya "akin na nga yan!" angil ko pa sa kanya bago hilahin yung supot ng pandesal nya "Antayin mo ako dito" bilin ko bago pumasok sa bahay habang kumakain ng pandesal with strawberry jam spread, hmm, yum

Ano kayang isusuot ko? Teka, saan ba kami pupunta? Tss, bahala na nga, naka pants lang naman sya at shirt gayahin ko na lang

Naligo muna ako bago magpalit ng damit then konting suklay, pwede na yan

"Ang ganda mo talaga cupcake" puri sakin ni Dior nung makita nya ako

"Tsk, alam ko na yan" i said as I roll my eyes.

"Tapos ang gwapo ko pa ng sobra, syet, ang gaganda at ang gagwapo ng mga magiging anak natin!"

"At sinong nagsabing papayag akong anakan mo ako aber?"

"Bakit? Sa tingin mo papayag akong sa iba ka magka anak at hindi sa akin?" nanghahamon nyang sabi

"anong magagawa mo kung magkagusto ako sa iba tapos yun yung makatuluyan ko syempre sya yung---"

"WAAAAAAAAHHHH, WALA AKONG NARIRINIG WALA AKONG NARIRINING" he said while covering his ears with his hands

"para kang tanga" natatawang sabi ko

"ikaw yung parang tanga" biglang seryoso nyang sabi "lahat kaya kong gawin at ibigay para sayo pero naiisip mo pang humanap ng iba" he said as he looked straight to my eyes

Natigilan naman ako sa sinabi nya
"ano naman yung mga kaya mong gawin at ibigay para sakin?" I asked as I meet his eyes

"you have no idea my cupcake, and I will leave it that way for a while" he answered as he combed my hair using his fingers "let's go now, mata traffic na tayo" sabi nya bago nya ako hilahin papunta sa kotse nya

I've almost said it! What if malaman nya? I know that she doesn't love me yet, if she finds out, she might hate me. Just the thought of her hating me brings out all my fears, paano pa kaya kapag totoo na? Mababaliw na siguro ako.

I looked at her while we are on the stoplight at di ko maiwasang mapangiti as I observed her.

She's currently holding a bag of sunflower seeds at seryosong seryoso sya habang binubuksan yung shell nung mga buto, darn, she looks like a squirrel while she's eating, so cute.

Bigla naman syang tumingin sa akin then she glared "what are you laughing at?!"

"ehem, whose laughing? I'm not laughing" tanggi ko, habang pinipigil ko ang tawa ko

"wag kang tumawa! Kasalanan mo to! Magbabaon ka na lang yung mahirap pang kainin!" inis nyang sabi pero tuloy pa rin sya sa pagbabalat

"okay boss cupcake, next time ang bibilhin ko yung balat na na sunflower seeds, okay, wag ka ng mainis" nangingiti kong sabi

"okay, lagyan mo rin ng butong pakwan ha? Masarap din yun e" she said while munching "wala ka ng ibang baon na snacks? Mauubos ko na to" dagdag pa nya

"ang dami mo ng nakain-"

"sinasabi mo ba na matakaw ako?!"

"wala akong sinasabing matakaw ka, kaya lang kasi mamaya kakain rin tayo, baka sumakit ang tyan mo"

"anong kakainin natin mamaya?" she asked, di ko alam pero pakiramdam ko biglang nagliwanag yung mata nya

"ahm, sinigang sa strawberry?"

"Really?! Wow!!! Excited na akoooo! Bilisan mong mag drive!" masaya nyang sabi

Napa iling na lang ako sa kanya

After 2 hours of driving, they finally arrived to their destination.

"What's this place?" Lily asked curiously, what she can see right now is a farm with different fruits and vegetables, aside from that, she can also hear some animal noise

"This would be our paradise" Dior said

"Paradise?"

"Yup" he answered as he went behind Lily "In my family, it is a must for boys to develop a land and turn it into their own paradise, my problem is, I don't know what kind of paradise I should develop until I met you" he said then he rested his chin on Lily's shoulder "I wanted to make a place where you will be happy, I wanted to make a paradise for you, because for me, a paradise is not a paradise without you"

"saan mo naman napulot yang mga linyahan mong yan?"

"Self taught to cupcake, kinilig ka ba?"

"konti" sagot naman ni Lily bago itinulak si Dior palayo

"Cupcake, napaka anti-climax mo, hindi ko pa nga nasasabi yung malupit kong banat"

"banatan kita, you like?"

"hindi po" sabi naman ni Dior sabay taas ng dalawang kamay na parang sumusuko

"buti nman, gutom na ako, pagluto mo na ako ng sinigang sa strawberry"

"Okay po boss"

They went inside a cabin. Dior asked Lily to sit on the chair beside the island counter as he started to cook.

"Don't tell me that you've drived me for almost 3 hours just to see you cooking? " Lily asked

"Then I will not tell you cupcake" ngisi naman ni Dior habang naghihiwa ng ingredients, inirapan naman sya ni Lily "We'll have horseback riding later, maglilibot tayo mamaya okay, papakainin muna kita, baka kasi mamaya awayin mo ako kapag nagutom ka"

"buti alam mo"

"why do you like eating so much?" Dior curiously asked while he is waiting for the food to boil

Natigilan naman si Lily sa tanong nito, then bigla itong ngumiti "When I was young, my mom used to feed me different foods then she would ask the taste of those food, is it sweet? Sour? Salty? I don't know why she keeps on doing and asking that until I turned 12, when my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Dad told me that mom had been suffering from ageusia, wherein she can't taste anything. From then, I started eating different food and then I told mom the taste of those food happily until now, it became my habit"

"so that's the reason why" he then cupped Lily's face "I will search and cook more food for you para mas marami ka pang ma i-kwento sa mommy mo"

"really?" she asked happily "then I should bring you to my mom! I'm sure she would be happy knowing that it is not just Jim who cooks for me now"

"Are you sure you want your mom to meet me? Sabagay, magiging asawa naman kita, kailangan ko ng ma meet ang magiging biyenan ko"

"At sinong nagsabi na magiging biyenan mo sya?!"

"di ba sinabi ko naman sayo? Hindi ako papayag na mapunta ka sa iba, sa akin ka lang" sagot ni Dior sabay pisil sa pisngi ni Lily "Let's eat?" tanong nito dahil alam nyang malapit ng mabwisit sa kanya si Lily

"okay" Lily answered happily, Dior looked at Lily helplessly, this girl is too easy to coax, he thought, he needs to sharpen his skills in cooking kung hindi baka kapag mag asawa na sila ipagpalit sya nito sa pagkain.
