Chapter 33
Tinanghali na ako ng gising. Pero ayos lang dahil mamaya pang-10 ang trabaho ko. Naglinis muna ako ng unit ko bago tuluyang maligo at magayos.
Bago mag alas dies ay nasa restaurant na ako. The guard greet me. I greet back. Nagtungo agad ako sa locker room. Nabutan ko si Joe.
"Hey," she greet me.
"Hey.." Joe is a working student. A waitress to be exact.
"You got sick? Chef Anni told me. Are you okay now?" She asked worriedly.
"I'm okay now. No need to worry. Anyway, how's school?" I open my locker to get my uniform.
"Good, just one year to suffer. And i'll be a journalist." She happily said.
"Carry on, you can do it." I cheered for her.
After talking to Joe, i change my outfit. Our uniform is very nice. I like it. When it's my call time, i walk fast toward to kitchen area. To do my work. My friend Anni was there, ofcourse.
"You, good now?" She ask.
"Yup." I smile happily.
"Soo.. Chris took care of you, huh." She teased me.
"W-What?"
"Uhuh. I know. I'm his friend back then, when we were college, Vien." She was chopping an onion. While me, cooking a sauce for pasta.
"Yeah.." i don't want to lie to her, only she and Joe are my friends here. I don't wanna ruin anything.
"What score between you, two? Huh?" She was elbowing me, but it was like a tease.
"We.. we.. are friends, just like you too." I sigh. We're just friends. Because.. i love someone.. i can't love nor like somebody else..
She nodded but doesn't buying whatever i did say.
"We're just friends. Don't think someting else.." i assured her.
"Okay." Napailing na lang ako. She's still not believing me.
Nagpatuloy naman kami sa pagtatrabaho. 12 noon came, we got our break. We ate our lunch. And head back to work, after. Like the usual. I miss this, even though. It's just days when i was absent.
"Chris is very friendly.." she commented. I was chopping vegetables, while she, garnishing.
"We all know that." I reply.
"Yeah.. but not that friendly." Talking about Chris taking care of me when i'm sick.
"Anni.." i call her name threatiningly.
"Just look that side of the story." She's convincing me. But i'm not convince.
"He's kind that's all. We are friend, and you too. So there's no any malicious things about it." Mas bumilis ang paggagayat ko.
"Fine. Just look at that side. Can't you see it—" i cut her off
"Whatever, Anni."

8:16 pm. Nasa labas na kami ng restaurant. Kasabay ko si Anni.
"Vien, why don't we go party?" She randomly ask. Naghihintay kami ng taxi.
"Hmm.."
"Right! We should go party!" She was giggle like a teenager.
