UNEXPECTED EXCHANGE (completed)

CHAPTER 25

Jm's POV.

Nagising ako na nasusuka, I immediately went to the comfort room. To vomit, I was holding the edge of the bathroom bowl and released what's inside of me. Naramdaman kong may pumasok sa banyo at hinagod ang likod ko. After may inabot siyang mini towel and I wiped my mouth. The smells stinks.

Tumayo ako at nakita ko si Clark, I wash my mouth and face in the sink and went back to the bed. Tiningnan ko si Clark na inaalok ako ng baso na may tubig at gamot, I get it and drink. "What time did I sleep last night?" Tanong ko sa kasama ko sa kwartong to. "Almost in a morning my boss."

I look at him, he was looking down on me. "You?"

"Same, when you were sleeping my boss." Napatingin kami sa kumatok ng pinto. "Clark let's have breakfast." He looks at me and I just nod. Tumayo nako at naglakad palabas ng bar, I see Anne na pababa na. Kami nalang ang tao dito, umupo kami sa isang table dito at kumain.

"Where are the others?" Tanong ko kay Anne. "They're gone like a bubble, hindi manlang sila ng paalam sakin." What? That's kinda rude, hindi manlang sila nagpaalam? While we're eating sumagi sa isip ko ang plano ko kagabi pa. Since Clark and Anne were pretty close, hindi nako mahihiya. "Anne can I invest to this bar?" Huminto siya sa pagkakain at humarap sakin.

"Y-you wanna invest here?" Pagtatanong niya ulit. "Yeah why not first day of opening there's a lot of costumers already. The idea of having rooms upstairs for the costumers who have passed out. And they can pay their nights staying here, it's a good thing. I think this bar gonna get big, so what you think?" I said convincing her to let me invest to her bar.

Habang hawak kopa ang pera ko at hindi pa alam ng parents ko ang plano kong hindi na bumalik ng US. I'm sure when the time comes, pagnalaman nila they will gonna freeze my bank account.

"Yeah why not." Napangiti ako sa kanya habang si Clark nakikinig lang sa usapan namin. Actually pinagusapan na namin to, he said na magbubukas daw ng bar ang kaibigan niya and that moment I was thinking how to earn money, for my own without my parents help. I look to Anne again.

"So how about 2 million 30 percent?"

Nasamid bigla si Anne, nagabot si Clark ng baso na may tubig sa kanya and she drinks it before she talks to me. "Ahh nah that's kinda big I'll gonna offer you 20 percent." Napailing ako sa offer ni Anne.

"Ok 2.5 million 30 percent." Tinitigan niya ako ng malalim at nilunok ang pagkain niya. "3 million 30 percent." she said. Napaisip ako sa offer ni Anne, after seconds. "ok fine, 3 million 30 percent of your bar." I offer my hand to her, to shake our hands symbolize for our business.

"Deal." She said, after shaking our hands. "I'm gonna send to your account the money." She just look at me and still continue from eating. "And one last thing, can I stay here?" Agad naman silang dalawang napalingon sakin. "What do you mean?" Tanong ni Clark. "What I'm trying to say is that, can I settle down myself here."

"Boss.." I look to Clark alam ko gusto niyang magtanong. "W-why?" Tanong ni Anne. "Don't worry I'm gonna pay."

"It's not about the money, Jm bakit gusto mo dito? May condo ka diba? Clark told me that you have." Napatingin ako ng malakagkit kay Clark bat niya sinabi? "Kung ayaw mo sa condo mo pwede ka samin." Binalik ko ang tingin ko kay Clark. "Ah no I don't want too."

"Can I?" Pagtatanong ko uli, begging Anne to let me stay here. "Give me a valid reason first."

"Uhmm... how can I say this, next week will be the final exam in PU and after that pababalikin nako sa US. At ayoko, I want my life to be here. That's why I decided na lumipat sa FU and I'm sure kung malalaman man yun ng parents ko they hold my money."
