Chapter 31

Pledge

   

Since it's Thursday and I have no classes, Mom told me it's the right time for me to schedule a visit to Smitten's office with them.

Dahil alam naman nila ang class schedule ko, nagpa-appoint na pala sila noong nakaraan pa. Good thing it's their vacant day to our company, too, so we will go there together.

Wearing a Smitten beige bandage dress and a Dolce & Gabbana silver glittered stiletto, I pulled my fashion into decency.

Nakakahiya naman kung pupunta kami sa mismong opisina ng isang international luxury fashion brand wearing nothing of their own. I have no choice but to wear D&G since I've never bought a pair of shoes from Smitten yet. So I registered that task to my mind.

But to fill the void, I touched the cold surface of the chain hanging on my neck. I think the Stellaluna necklace would be enough. If ever Madame Stella sees this, she'll be delighted for sure.

And for the last touch, I grabbed an expensive minaudiere, an original product of our company. Hinaplos ko ang kulay pilak na nakaukit sa yari nito.

Von Rezella.

Sinong mag-aakalang ang kahulugan noon ay pinaarteng baligtad na apelyido namin? My parents could be clever wits sometimes. They added a "von" in it as a german word for "from."

Tulad ng nakagawian ay natatawa talaga ako tuwing naaalala ang origin ng company brand namin.

"Are you ready, anak?" si Mommy nang salubungin ako.

They both look dashing in their clothes as well. Syempre, hindi papahuli ang mga magulang na wala na atang ibang sinuot pa kundi business and formal attires. Samantalang ako na dalaga ay ngayon na lang ulit.

After taking a picture, we drove our way to the office somewhere in Makati. We used our family car and Mang Chris as our driver for today.

Aminado akong ginagapangan din ako ng nerbyos. Just the idea of consulting and collaborating with Smitten's fine and prominent designers makes me palpitate. So for the whole ride, I decided to entertain myself by checking my social media accounts.

Dahil halos araw-araw na nakikita, medyo nakakapanibagong hindi ko makikita si Ghunter ngayon. His duty as my bouncer is off today. I giggled when I imagined him in his bulk transformation like a real bouncer.

Usap-usapan sa social media ang ipapalabas na bagong pelikula ng tambalan nina Cent Laurel at Jinx. Actually, ilang buwan na rin itong usap-usapan at balita ko'y sa susunod na taon ipapalabas. It must be hard for him to multitask. I wonder when will I be able to see him again.

Simula nang magkaroon ako ng pagkakataong makita siya, I felt this desire to meet him more often and I'm becoming greedy of my chances.

Kahit nasa Pilipinas na at may tyansa nang magkita kami, hindi pa rin matatawaran ang night routine ko sa mga account nito.

Kumpara sa in denial stage ko noong mga nakaraang buwan na naka-move on na ako, ngayon, I've been honest to myself already. I know, I'm still into him. I cannot just let him go like that. Especially now after all he had told me. May kung ano sa mga mata niya, may emosyon akong pinanghahawakan sa mga iyon na may kapasidad pa nga kami.

Tanga na ba kung hanggang ngayon, umaasa pa rin ako sa posibilidad na maging akin ulit siya? Pero bakit ganon? Tuwing naaalala ang mga nangyari tatlong taon na ang nakakalipas, kung gaano niya ako kadaling pinakawalan, I still remember how bitterness crept into my heart.
