A Letter of Promise

Chapter 27

"I'm sorry, nakaligtaan ko." Bungad niya sa kaibigang si Bless na naghihintay sa kanya sa may ginagawang pool ng rest house.

"Okay lang anuba, nakausap ko naman na secretary mo. Let's settle this and I'll let my secretary to set up the meeting so we could prepare for the food later." Nakangiting paliwanag nito.

"Yeah, I can't tour you around, under renovation pa. Nagtaka nga ako at interesado ka mag invest." Tumayo na ito at tinungo na nila ang kaniyang sasakyan.

"I have plans to stay here, since Manila is far from here I need a place. So this is a perfect place for me." Sumakay na ito sa passenger seat at siya naman ay binuhay na ang makina.

"Stay? Don't tell me dahil kay Clyde." She looked at Bless before finally stepping on the gas.

"Well, may part sa akin na gusto siyang balikan, but I heard he is currently in a relationship with the co-model of Amie, do you know Kai?" She asked as she is putting a pink lip tattoo.

"I don't know her personally, but I've seen her on magazines. She has a pure Filipina look. Morena, brown eyes, thick brows and lashes, not too tall just 5'4 and has a sharp shape face." Bless put down her small mirror and faced her. She glanced at her friend and smiled.

"Still, you are more beautiful than Kai. Don't make me describe you, you will grow your head bigger. I don't like that." Bless laughed hard and slapped her arm.

"Hey, I'm driving!" She warned her, and make a right turn. She park the car near the entrance of the mall.

"Well you didn't decribe me but, you actually complimented me. Thank you. I know I am way more beautiful than that Kai. I was a model too. I just stopped." Ria glared at her and she stopped smiling.

"Okay, I will try to be humble now." Maliit na boses na saad nito.

They went straight to the chips corner and picked some. After the chips they went to get wine, then meat, then vegies and the ingredients.

"This is what I hate the most. Waiting for the cashier." She said and smiled at the woman before her. After 15 minutes it is finally her turn. She gave her card after it was settled.

"Alam mo ba yung kay Nina at Nathe?" She asked as they walk towards her car.

"What about them?" Kunot noong tanong nito.

"The two are actually dating, but our dear friend is not sure if Nathe is serious with her." Aniya at binuksan ang driver' seat.

"Ang marupok na iyon talaga." Sagot nito.

"Wow. Coming from you huh?" She laughed mockingly.

"I mean, I thought she was dating other man, well she dates every guy who smile at her. Now you are telling me that Nathe is dating her? Ang bilis." Bless said as she picked her phone up.

"I don't wanna make her feel I am against them. But she's been crushing on him since 8th grade!" Ria said and saw Bless contacting someone and put the phone in a loud speaker mode.

"San kana?" She heard bless asked.

"Papunta na, kayo?" Nina answered.

"Papunta na rin. 10 minutes pa siguro." Bless answered.

"Okay, ako na kukuha ng nipa hut, ingat." Sagot nito.

"Okay, you have a liter of tea to spill, ingat din. Bye." Nina laughed then cut the call off.

"Tayo nalang pala kulang." Bless said after having different calls.

"Andito naman na tayo." She made a quick turn and parked the car near the hut Nina rented.
