One Night Surprise

36

Mr. Santi drops by to Jeffer's office.
"Mr. Santi napadalaw po kayo?"
Mr.Santi is one of the investor of the company at matalik na kaibigan rin si Mr. Santi ng mommy ni Jeffer.
"Do you have time for lunch?"
"Yes, we can have lunch."
"Anyway Jeffer your mommy is bragging your future wife that daughter of LiCorp. What kind of woman is she? That your mom is so proud of her."
"Her name is Yara Lim."
Jeffer doesn't know kung anong isasagot niya kay Mr. Santi.
"Can you invite her so that I can finally meet her."
"Gusto niyong makilala si Yara? Hindi ako sure kung available si Yara ngayon." Palusot ni Jeffer.
Then the phone of Jeffer rings and a pop text appeared.
Galing ito kay Yara she said in the text na pupunta ito sa office niya.
He tries to call Yara na ipaalam na huwag ng ituloy ang pagpunta sa kanya pero di niya ito macontact.
"Jeffer who are you trying to call?" Mr. Santi ask.
"Si Yara di ba gusto niyo siya makilala."
"Just try to contact her on the restaurant kapag nakarating na tayo." Mr.Santi suggest.
Walang magawa si Jeffer kundi sundin si Mr. Santi.

In the elevator halos puno na ito.
Nasa harapang bahagi sila Jeffer at Mr. Santi.
"Is that girl fashionable Jeffer?"
"Actually she's old-fashioned and boring. Mr. Santi saan na restaurant gusto niyong kumain?" Jeffer change the topic.
"Mclinns Restaurant I heard that there food is delicious."
They exit the elevator and it's empties out behind them to reveal Yara standing in the back. She glares after him.
"Old-fashioned and boring? I'll show you what you're not expecting to see."
Nagmadaling sumakay si Yara ng sasakyan at pumunta sa clothing store at tinanggal niya ang eyeglasses niya at pinalitan ng contact lens.

Arriving at the Restaurant the two gentlemen settled their selves.
"Have you texted your fiance?" Mr. Santi is so much determined to meet Yara pero si Jeffer lang ang walang plano ipakilala si Yara kay Mr. Santi.
Jeffer's alibi na nagtext na siya kay Yara pero hindi ito makakarating dahil busy ito sa trabaho.
When suddenly Yara walks in, sporting a fancy dress and she's not wearing eyeglasses. Jeffer stands up and stares at her in shock.
"Yara, bakit ka nandito?"
"You just texted her did you Jeffer? Akala ko ba hindi siya makakarating." Mr. Santi said.
"Sorry I'm late may pinuntahan lang ako."
"You look great kaya pala pinagmamalaki ka sa akin ng mommy ni Jeffer."
Yara smiled and confidently takes a seat.
Now Jeffer being awkward di niya inexpect na bigla na lang magtatransform si Yara from old-fashioned and boring turn into elegant and cool.
Jeffer can see the way Mr. Santi eyes looking to Yara's cleavage.
Jeffer looks annoyed.
"You're dress is so much revealing kulang na lang maghubad ka."
"You said that I will hire a fashion consultant because you said I'm old-fashioned and boring!"
"She's really sexy." Mr. Santi compliment Yara.
"She's not usually sexy." Jeffer said tapos hinubad niya ang coat niya at pinasuot kay Yara.
"Ano bang ginagawa mo?" Yara being embarrassed.
Jeffer annoyingly glared to Yara.
"Huwag ka ng makulit pwede ba isuot mo yan."
Natapos rin silang naglunch.
"Its so nice to meet you Yara and I enjoyed the time." Mr.Santi said.
Yara smiled.
"Jeffer mauna na ako." Mr. Santi smiled.
"Ihahatid na kita sa labas." Jeffer offers.
"Nope, samahan mo na lang si Yara."
Nauna ng umalis si Mr. Santi.

Mga ilang minuto Yara marches off at iniwanan si Jeffer outside he catches up Yara.
"Naiwan ang bag mo." He said then hands her bag back to her.
Yara she looks angry.
"What did I do wrong this time?"
"Never insult me behind my back again."
"Did I? When?"
"I was with you on the elevator when you said to Mr. Santi that I am old-fashioned and boring."
"It wasn't an insult totoo naman yung sinabi ko."
"What?!" Yara is so much mad that he wants to punch Jeffer.
"Fine, I'm sorry."
Jeffer tries to hide his laughter and Yara is confused.
"What? Am I a joke?! Do you think I'm not still mad at you!"
"I don't want to see you dressed like this again." He stares Yara's face.
"You look different when you doesn't wear your eyeglasses."
The face of Yara is crimson red she is caught up in the situation.
"Anyway bakit gusto mo ako puntahan kanina sa office?"
"Our magazine wants to feature you, pero kung hindi mo gusto sasabihan ko na lang sila na ayaw mo."
"Ok, I'm in."
"Really?" Yara smiles hindi siya makapaniwala na napapayag niya si Jeffer.

Several times ng pinipindot ni LJ ang doorbell ni DP.
"Open the door I know you are in there pwede ba Prey mag-usap tayo."
A minute or two binuksan na ang pintuan.
"Miu?" He said.
"Ako nga nasa bedroom siya natutulog."
"Bakit ka nasa condo ni Prey di ba nasa NY ka?"
"Pumasok ka nga muna bago ko sabihin sayo."
Pumasok si LJ sa condo.
"Mag-usap nga tayo LJ about sa kaibigan ko alam mo naman na naguguluhan pa si DP sa nararamdaman niya ngayon at aware ka naman na mahal pa niya si RJ."
"Kaya nga Miu tulungan mo akong paibigin si Prey."
"Ikaw ba talaga yan LJ? Ang babaerong si LJ hinihingi ang tulong ko para mapaibig ang kaibigan ko." Miu can't hide her laugh.
"Pwede ba Miu hinaan mo tawa mo di ba sabi mo natutulog si Prey sa kwarto."
"Actually LJ I lied to you."
"What?"
"Nasa kwarto nga siya pero hindi nga lang natutulog." Miu guilty smiled.
"Miu, sino yung dumating." Lumabas si Prey ng kwarto at nakita si LJ na nakaupo sa couch.
"Maybe its time to give him a second chance Prey." Miu suggests.
The two stares awkwardly to each other.
"Prey, maiwan ko muna kayo." Miu grab her purse at lumabas ng condo.
"Miu, wait! Where are you going? Huwag mo kong iwan dito." Prey said.
"Sorry Prey if the situation is awkward." LJ said nabaling tingin ni Prey kay LJ.
"What do you want?"
"Let's start the way it is."
"What?"
"Please Prey don't avoid me when I want to be close to you, don't avoid me if I cared about you, please give me a chance."
"I can't. Let's just finished what we started."
He feels like there's an arrow pierced his heart.
"Why its so hard to win you back." LJ avoiding Prey's eyes.
"Makakabuti kung hindi muna tayo magsama sa iisang bahay."
"Yan ba ang gusto mo?"
