Chapter 5

Chapter 5

“Unconsciously we get jealous. It's not because we are insecure but because we are possessive.”

“Hanggang 10 ka ulit, dear?”
Ate Majo asked me while she's preparing americano. Sa ilang araw kong pagtatrabaho dito ay labis n'ya akong pinahanga. Aside from mixing liquor she's also good on brewing different coffee, lahat yata ng inumin ay kayang-kaya n'yang gawin o timplahin ng walang kahirap-hirap.

According to kuya Sam, ate Majo studied in Spain at doon n'ya iyon natutunan. She's an amazing person with sense of humor kaya nagkakasundo talaga kami. Ewan ko lang kung bakit wala pa yata s'yang asawa, I'll surely ask her some other time.

“Oo ate, bakit?”

“Sa Patas kapa yata, Hindi ka ba Natatakot? Delikado Kels.”

“May mga poste naman na sa Patas kaya hindi nakakatakot. Besides, sanay na ako.”

I heard my bell rang. Pagharap ko'y si Sean iyon, I smiled.

“May customer sa table 8.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Tumango s'ya at agad namang umalis. Palagi kaming tinutuksong dalawa though we are both not interested but Sean is a good friend.

Bago ako pumunta sa 8th table ay inayos ko muna ang suot na uniporme sa harap ng salamin, we need to look presentable in front of our customers. Parte iyon ng pagiging waitress.

“What's your order ma'am?” A woman with long black shiny hair wearing a gold-like dress perfectly fine with her curve smiled at me. She's so beautiful.

“I'm still waiting for someone, miss. I'll just call you again once he arrived. ”
I smiled. “Okay ma'am.”

“Seph.” I was stunned, shocked.

“Isan, you're here.”

I bit my lower lip.

“Sorry, I am late.”

“No problem, let's order na?” I watched them hugged and happily talked with each other, at naiinis ako dahil ang tagal nilang um-order. I rolled my eyes.

“What's your order ma'am, sir?” my brows furrowed and my big smile earlier suddenly fade. But still I tried to compose myself as I patiently listen and copy their orders on a small notepad. Masama parin ang timpla, I tried to smile.

“Is that all ma'am?”

“Ah, yes. Thank you.”

I am just fooling myself if I deny what I feel, seeing your crush with other woman will really made you feel uneasy. Nakakainis, binabawi ko na lahat she's not so beautiful sexy lang at matangkad. Tss.

I throw a glance on sir Isan at dahil masama nga ang loob ko I didn't bother to smile. Palagi sa subject n'ya ay hindi ako komportable, lalo na sa tuwing napapagawi ang tingin n'ya sa akin pakiramdan ko'y kakapusin ako ng hininga.

I never tell Herald about my hidden feelings for sir Isan because I am a bit shy. Ayokong husgahan na naman n'ya ako at sabihing isa pala ako sa mga nagpapantasya kay sir. Kahit pa totoo.

“Heto.” matamlay kong inabot iyong orders sa loob sa muling bumalik sa counter
Pasimple akong sumulyap sa table 8 at dahil nakaharap mismo dito ang upuan ni sir Isan hindi na ako nagulat na nasa akin din ang tingin n'ya. He's saying something to his date but his eyes were fixed on mine kaya ako nalang ang nag-iwas ng tingin.

Ano naman kaya ang iniisip n'ya?

Nang muling dumako ang tingin ko doon ay saka ako nagulat, because sir Isan is damn standing in front of me. I swallowed hard when I noticed that he's on his usual strict and serious look again.
