CORTEZ 1: The Boss [COMPLETED]

Chapter 23

A/N: SPG ALERT!!! Ayan naka-capslock para mas dama HAHAHAHAAHA

23. Ang carousel.

"YOU gotta be kidding me, Selena." Tendo removed his sunglasses. Masama ang tingin niya habang pinagmamasdan at pinakikinggan ang mga sigawan ng mga tao mula sa exciting rides na nakapalibot sa amusement park kung nasaan kami.

Naisip ko lang na palagi kaming magkasama sa bahay o kaya ay minsan sa office niya. Nonetheless, we never dated outside. And I think, amusement park is a good choice as the our first date experience.

Linggo ngayon at pahinga niya dapat sa trabaho. Ngunit ayaw talaga niyang magpapigil sa pagiging workaholic niya. He still insists to work on his rest day. So I called his phone. Ang sabi ko ay kailangan niya kong puntahan sa amusement park na malapit sa Cortez Suits because I'm in trouble, though I'm not. Dahil matigas ang ulo niya, sasakay kami sa mga rides na naka-formal attire niya. I can't hold myself from laughing.

"Sorry but Sunday is married couple day!"

"No." Tumalikod siya at lumakad paalis.

"Fine! Go! Ganyan ka naman eh! You cared more about your work than your wife!" I shouted. Makonsensya naman siya! Because that's what I'm doing.

Magkasalubong ang kilay niya nang lumingon at muling lumapit pabalik sakin.

"This is so much, Selena. I'm far from this."

"Then go! I'm fine here. I'll spend this day enjoying their rides. Alone." I showed to his face the brochure that I got from the entrance. Tinalikuran ko siya at lumakad na patungo sa roller coaster. That's the first thing I want to do.

Deep inside, I literally wants to cry out loud. This should be a date. Not a me-day. I should've call Henritta to be with me instead of him.

Sinipa ko ang isang ng coke in can na nakakalat sa sahig. "Kung alam ko lang! Hindi na sana ako---"

"Let's go." Hinawakan ni Tendo ang kamay ko at seryoso akong tinignan. "I know hindi ka matatahimik hanggang sa bahay." He remove his coat and unbotton the first 3 buttons on the chest part of his polo.

"You sure?" I asked.

Tumango lang siya pagkatapos ay malayo na uli ang tingin. "Bilisan nalang natin nang maaga tayong makauwi."

Agad kong hinagkan ang braso niya nang makumpira ang pagpayag niya. But he remove my hands from his arm.

"No PDA. That's the rule."

"What's PDA there? Hinawakan ko lang naman ang braso mo." Nakanguso kong sabi.

"Opposite sex touching or holding eachother's body parts in the public can be considered PDA." Seryoso ba siya? He even explain that to me?

"What do you want me to do? Distance myself one meter away from you?" Hindi ko maitago ang pagkainis sa sinabi niya.

He's acting weird and different in public. Pati ba naman ay pagkapit ko sa braso niya ay hindi pwede? Ano ba ko? May malalang sakit na nakakahawa? How can he be so rude to me!

He grabbed the brochure that I'm holding. "Yeah. One meter away is good." Sabi niya at pumauna na ng lakad.

Imbes na magsalita ay napapadyak nalang ako sa inis. I can't believe he's doing this to me.
