Blushed




Will that make me stop from trying? No.



Definitely not.



Siguro nga tama si Macy. Like what she always says, maybe I'm really a fighter. A natural one. Someone fierce and unwavering. Someone steadfast and determined. Hanggang may pangarap ay magsusumikap. Hanggang may pag-asa ay lalaban. Kapag may gusto ay hindi susukuan.


Isa pa, sinusubukan ko rin kasing isaalang-alang ang panig ni Zaid. He didn't receive any sort of assurance from me before. He was clueless of my feelings for him. All along he was thinking that I was continuously liking someone else while he was loving me.



He witnessed me getting crazy over Spencer. And I left the country with that same guy, leaving his pleading physique. He confessed but I didn't even say anything that would make him hold on and hope. That's why.. I can't really blame him. I know somehow, I'm partly at fault too. I didn't had enough confidence for my feelings for him back then. I wasn't brave.



But now I am. I was already able to gather enough courage to go after what my heart desires. So now it's just either I'll get him or I'll get him.



"Good morning, Ma'am! Nandito na naman po kayo ah," bati ng Host ng Bright Bite na siyang nagwe-welcome sa mga guests sa entrance.



I smiled. "Good morning din." I roamed my eyes around the place. "Nandito na ba yung masungit?"



"Masungit? Si Sir Zaid ba, Ma'am?" napangisi siya. "Hindi masungit yun, Ma'am! Sayo lang,"



Ngumisi rin ako. "Pansin ko nga,"



"Nandyan na, Ma'am kaso nasa kitchen. Totoong busy yun lagi, Ma'am.. Hindi niya gawa-gawa lang yun para magpalusot," ngiti niya.


I raised my brows in slight disbelief. "Talaga lang ha? Pag-inaya ko ba siya outside work hours, papayag siya?" I asked in a doubtful tone.



"Ba't ako tinatanong niyo, Ma'am? Siya tanungin niyo." 



Natawa naman ako. Nagpaalam na lang ako at nagsabing uupo na.



Pumwesto ako sa may bandang malapit lang sa glassdoors. Hindi naman nagtagal ay umorder na rin ako ng pang-breakfast. Hindi na rin kasi ako nag-aabalang kumain sa bahay dahil dito naman ako pupunta. I was sipping on my coffee when I saw Zaid coming out from the kitchen.



Pumungay ang mga mata ko habang tinititigan ang kabuuhan niya. I've always appreciate Zaid's choice of clothes. The street style fashion suits him perfectly. It matches his personality and his totality. His tucked-in top plus his pants are everything. It's so hard to look away. Just how can he combine a professional and casual look in a single outfit that certainly make him ravishing? Shit. Siya yung pagtinignan mo pa lang alam mong mabango na. Malayo pa lang parang naaamoy mo na.



I can't believe I've taken for granted my months with him during college. What the hell did I do during all those times with him? Bakit hindi ko na lang siya pinormahan agad?
