At The Sunrise

Chapter 18

"Hey, Mrs. Valeria. Naisip ko na sunduin ka dahil uulan. Andito pala si Bryan."ani Zach nang makarating sa silong kung nasaan sila. He kissed her forehead briefly.

"Napadaan lang ako Zach and I saw Yve standing. It's a great place you're building here. Mapapadalas yata ako dito."

"Always welcome ka dito. If you come by on a Saturday, you're probably gonna get lucky kung ako mismo maghahanda ng pagkain mo."komento ni Zach.

"Oh, so you're the one cooking. Nagtaka nga ako dahil restaurant business ang tinatayo ni Yve. I thought at first it was for a client."

"Well, it's good to keep your first love going. Kanina pa ba kayo rito? Shall we grab some food nearby?"

"Hindi na, Zach. I have few things to attend to. But, thank you. Sa susunod, babawi ako."

"Aasahan ko yan."

"Anything for a business partner. And hey, aalis nga pala muna ako. I'll be out of the country until the launching. If you need anything from my office, just contact my secretary."

"Yeah, sure. Good to know."

"Oh, siya sige. Mauna na ako sa inyo. Tumila na rin naman ang ulan. You guys have a great afternoon. I'll see you both on the launch. And congratulations for the new place. I'll definitely be a regular customer."

"Thank you, Bryan. It's good to see you. Mag-ingat ka."

"Of course, see you around Yve."paalam nito.

She did not responded and just smiled at him while looking at him walk away towards his car.

"You look stunning right now, Mrs. Valeria. I'm wondering is it because you braided your hair or because your skin and hair is damp."tudyo ni Zach.

"Stop it, Zach. Baka may makarinig sa iyo."mahinang saway niya rito.

"I don't care. You know, I wanna take you home and strip you naked."

"Ewan ko sa'yo. Umalis na nga lang tayo, baka umulan ulit. Does your offer still stand about the food?"

"Anything for my lovely wife. I know a place ma lapit dito, we're just gonna grab something then we'll go home, then back to Plan A."

"Plan A?"

"Yeah. Get you naked and I'll make love to you. I can't do that if you're hungry, can I?"

"Ewan ko sa'yo. Kahit kailan Di talaga kita makausap nang matino."sagot niya at agad naglakad pa punta sa sasakyan.

"I'm just trying my luck today, Yve. Baka sakaling pumayag ka na."

"That's never gonna happen, Zach."

"Oh, you have 8 years to spend with me, Mrs. Valeria. Wag kang magsalita ng tapos."

"Stop teasing or else you're gonna have the entire afternoon all by yourself."

"Whoah! Dragon lady is awake. Magpapakabait na ako. Give me your keys, we'll take my car."

Hindi na siya nagtanong at agad na binigay ang susi ng sasakyan kay Zach. Pero nagtaka sya nang bumalik ito sa site at lumapit sa isang nagta trabaho doon. Sandali niya itong kinausap at binigay ang susi dito. And he headed back towards her.

"Why did you give him the keys?" nagtatakang tanong niya rito.

"He used to drive me to school when I was younger. Driver namin dati. Di ko nga inakalang dito ko siya ulit nakikita after long years. Ipapahatid ko sa kanya ang sasakyan mo. You don't want your car here overnight, do you?"
