It was only 4 am when my mom called me, Tony needs my car daw by 5 am dahil dad used his car for business trip, well I hope business trip talaga. So I arrived there at 4:45 am dahil wala naman traffic. Tony will just use my car for his vacation with his friends, My God?! Akala ko naman super urgent. Nagkaroon daw kasi ng emergency kaya di nila nagamit yung car ng friend niya. He will bring my car to Ilocos Norte, I gave him pa money para pang gas ng sasakyan ko. They drop me off muna sa condo dahil along the way lang din naman.
Hindi na ko nakatulog ulit, I directly took a bath. Today is the opening of our business. I am so excited and nervous at the same time. My relatives will be there, except from my brother na travel first and their trip was already planned bago pa tong opening ng business. And my Dad, well I am not expecting anything from him.
10 am pa ang opening namin pero 8 am nakaayos na ko, I just straightened by hair this time, maiba naman yung looks ko. I will just wear red long sleeves mini dress.
Kanina ko pa tinatawagan si May pero di pa siya sumasagot kahit sa text ko. 9:30 am na and I am not still receiving any text or call from her. Nasaan na kaya tong babae na to?
Speaking of the devil, ito na nag text na sa wakas
(Girl!!! Wag mo ko aawayin mamaya please? I'm sorry nandito na ko sa shop, girl sorry I forgot to fetch niyo, natulog kasi ako kagabi sa jowa ko tapos na late kami pareho ng gising and nagmadali kami pumunta dito, late ko na nabasa text mo na nagpapasundo ka pala)
I just closed my eyes for a while and trying to be calm, parang sumakit din ata yung batok ko. This is a special day for me but, my gosh May! Pasalamat siya kaibigan ko siya. Nagmadali na kong bumaba sa unit ko, since matagal mag book sa grab, I will just wait for a taxi.
Sobrang uneasy na ng feeling ko ngayon hanggang sa may huminto ng sasakyan sa harap ko at pagbaba ng bintana nakita ko sa loob si Kit at si Yarra
"Tara na" sabi ni Kit sakin
"Ah hindi na! nakakahiya naman, mag tataxi na lang ako"
"I know you are going to makati, nag message sakin friend mo, don't worry dun din ang punta namin, tara na sumakay ka na" bumaba siya ng kotse niya at pinagbuksan ako ng pinto sa likuran, katabi niya sa harapan si Yarra
"Hi mommy! You look gorgeous!" Cute cute talaga nitong si Yarra at napaka honest pa.
Habang nasa biyahe kami, di ko sinasadyang mapatingin sa front mirror at nakita kong nakatitig si Kit sa akin, or assuming nanaman ako pero umiwas naman siya ulit so baka tinitignan niya lang yung sasakyan na nasa likuran namin. Bumibilis nanaman yung tibok ng puso ko kaya nag focus na lang ako tumingin sa gilid ko hanggang sa makarating na kami sa Makati.
"Wow sa'yo pala yung bagong tayong business sa harapan ng restaurant namin?" Nakahinto na ang sasakyan niya pero nag hazard muna siya bago ako bumaba
"Uhm oo, business partner ko si May" So baba na ba ko? "Ah Kit" nilingon niya ako, kahit ba paglingon kailangan gwapo pa din? "Why don't you come? Tara"
He look at her daughter and said "Okay sure" he removed Yarra's seatbelt, went down and opened the the door for us. What a gentleman pero babaero ka pa din sa paningin ko Kit kahit nakaka linlang ka gwapuhan mo
Past 10 am na kami nag start dahil nga late ako kahit 8 am pa lang nakaayos na ako. I saw my cousin standing at the stairs with her husband and child "Omg Serra! We're so proud of you! Finally you're having your dream business na, hindi lang business ha?! Businesses pa!"
"Thanks ate, by the way? Where's tito?"
"Ayun nga, he's busy with his appointment kasi he's planning to build business malapit dito"
"Really? Grabe si tito ha? Ang dami na branch ng restaurant niya, congrats to him ate"
Napansin ko na ngumunguso nguso yung pinsan ko sa likod ko and na realize ko na she is referring to Kit na para bang nang aasar siya na may something "No ate, haha! He's my friend and my condo's owner"
"Oh I see! Hi!" My cousin whispered at me "Gwapo ha? In fairness" napatawa na lang ako and brought Kit and Yarra inside.
We have successfully celebrated the opening of my business.
"Congrats Serraphina"
"Ano ba Kit? Just call me Serra please?" Pero tumawa lang siya, wala talaga siyang balak tawagin akong Serra
"Anyway, pupunta na muna kami sa restaurant"
Maganda yung pwesto ng restaurant niya sa tapat ko pero mukhang malungkot lang tignan dahil mukhang hindi na mamaintain ang interior design.
"I will invite you next time to my place pag hindi ka na busy,my treat naman" Hinatid ko na sila sa sasakyan nila at hinintay na makaalis well in fact sa tapat lang naman sila lilipat ng parking.
I am so happy that I have found a new friend in him. Okay na ako sa ganito para no expectations.
I am about to enter to my shop when someone called me, his voice is so familiar and I know siya yun.
