Unreasonable Love (On-going)

Chapter Two

=Syrene=

Sobrang tagal ng inabot namin bago maka order dahil marami rin ang nakapila sa counter.

Leanne and I ordered the same. Two Caramel Macchiatto and two Chicken Artichoke Panini. Our favorite.

(Baby~ baby~ geu-dae-neun caramel macchiato~✌)

We're just eating silently, maybe because we're so hungry?

I looked outside and my eyes caught the guy na nag wwork sa shawma.

He's handsome, tho. Para siyang character sa isang novel. Matangos na ilong, pink lips, makapal ang kilay, ang kutis niya na maputi pa sa akin at ang tangkad.

Kaya ang hirap paniwalaan na nag ttrabaho siya sa isang food stall lang. He could be a model tho.

May dala siyang mga containers. Siguro mga sangkap 'yan sa shawarma.

He's wearing a black polo-shirt, black tight pants and a black cap. He's like going to a funeral. HAHAHA.

"You know what? Your name should be dreamer." Leanne said out of nowhere.

"Ha?"

"You're day dreaming again! Smiling without a reason? Psh! Idiot!" sabi niya sabay roll ng eyes.

"Dami mong napapansin.." sabi ko naman.

"But seriously, what you smilin' at?" She asks.

"Nothing! Mind your own business, will you?"

"Ok, if that's what you want" she said and shrugged her shoulder then continued eating again so do I.

•••

"I'm so full.." I said while walking slowly. Obviously, kalalabas lang namin sa starbucks.

"I'm not full yet"

"Are you serious?!"

"Do I look like I'm kidding?" sabi niya sabay taas ng kilay.

I heaved a deep sigh and shrugged my shoulder out of dizziness. Leanne has always been like that, if hindi siya na satisfy, she probably eat again and again hanggang sa magsawa siya. Palibhasa ay payatot.

I'm not saying na chubby ako, ok? Tama lang. Tama lang ang katawan ko. Hindi gaya niya na payatot.

"Let's eat shawarma kaya?"

"It's already 9pm. Do you think may maaabutan pa tayo?"

"Maybe? We only have 1 hour before mag close ang mall so, ba't 'di nalang natin iasa sa shawarma?"

What does she mean by 'iasa'? Idadamay niya pa talaga 'yung shawarma. Kahit kailan talaga ay baliw 'to.

"Alam mo na, third floor" sabi niya sabay taas baba ng kilay.

So basically, ang ibig niyang sabihin ay lilibutin namin ang buong mall hanggang sa third floor. At pag nandoon na kami sa third floor, tyaka kami bibili ng shawarma. Seems so tiring right?

•••

There are only few people here at the second floor dahil 9:30pm naman na. It's been half an hour since we started dahil tumitingin-tingin rin kami ng mga clothes. At wala pa rin kaming nabibili.

"Hey, are we gonna spend the thirty minutes that we only have here?" I said while looking around.

"Nope" sabi naman ni Leanne na busy rin.

"Baka wala na tayong maabutan--"

"Look! I like that dress!"

"Wait!"

Leanne ran so fast, childish. She really is a fashionista. Ang dami na niyang damit na magaganda but still! Hindi pa rin enough 'yon para sa kaniya. I don't understand her.

"It's beautiful, right?" she said with a smile.

"Yeah" well, maganda naman talaga. It's just a simple dress with a simple design. This is what we call SIMPLICITY. Especially if it's color black.

"It has sleeves but I like the design, tho." dami niya talagang arte e. Sleeveless gusto.

"Gonna buy it or not? They're waiting, ohh" tanong ko naman dahil naka tingin lahat ng sales lady.

"Ohh, sorry"

Sa huli, ay binili na rin niya, kung hindi ko pa siya pinigilan ay baka namili pa siya ng mga damit niya. Ang dami kasing maganda.

•••

It's already 9:45pm after mag bayad ni Leanne para sa dress. 'Di naman kami aabutin ng ganiyan katagal kung hindi siya nakipag daldalan sa mga saleslady at sa cashier. She's an extrovert, btw.

"Why you look so sad?" she asks pag labas palang namin ng store.

"No, I'm not!" pag tanggi ko naman.

"Tara! May fifteen minutes pa."

Hinila niya ako at mabilis na nag lakad papunta sa escalator. This day is really tiring.

Leanne seems so happy, maybe she had fun being with me, right?

I looked at the shawma's store sa left side sa likod namin at nakita ko naman na they are still open.

"Wow, I can't believe that they aren't close yet." sabi ni Leanne.

Since the store is kinda far from the escalator, we walked fast para mapunta agad roon.

"Sean, wala tayong customer na nag pa reserve.. Para saan 'to?"

"Just wait"

Nagpa reserve?! Is that a shawarma?

Leanne and I looked at each other happily after we heard that.

"Kami na po ang bibili" singit ko naman agad.

"See?" sabi nung Sean at nag smirk.

So, Sean is the name. I am more curious now.

"Ilan ma'am?" naka ngiti namang sabi ng babae. Mukha namang pilit.

"Dalawa" sabi naman ni Leanne at kinuha ang wallet niya.

Agad naman inabot ng babae ang shawarma kay Leanne. Well, Leanne and I are obsess with their shawarma for a long time now, but we haven't seen them before. This is the first time.

"Sino pala ang owner ng store na 'to?" tanong ko. Palusot ko lang 'yan, gusto kong mahuli 'yung Sean.

Lahat naman sila ay napa tingin sa akin na may gulat sa mga mata. Syempre except kay Sean.

"Why ma'am? Is there a problem?" the lady asks.

"No, I just wanna know" sabi ko ng may ngiti sa mga labi.

"It's confidential" 'yong Sean.
Tsk, sungit.

"Ahh, we're planning to buy the branch sana.."

Napa tingin naman agad ako kay Leanne. Ano bang sinasabi nito? E, wala nga akong pera.

The lady and Sean looked at each other. Para bang nag uusap sila through their eyes. So.. cute?

"Marami na rin po ang nag sasabi niyan ma'am. But the owner--"

"We're gonna tell it to the owner" pag putol naman nung Sean sa kaniya.

"Yey! Thank you so much" para talagang bata si Leanne.

Tumingin naman ako sa babae at halata sa mga mata niya na hindi niya inaasahan ang sagot ni Sean. Something is not right about her.

"Here's yours" Leanne said. At binigyan niya ako ng 'manahimik ka' look.

Hindi ko siya pinansin at tinignan lang 'yung babae. She looks upset, tho. Feeling ko, mag wawala 'to mamaya. HAHA.

"Hoy! Tara na! Ahh, thanks. Bukas nalang ulit" sabi naman ni Leanne at nag wink pa sa kanila. Baliw talaga.

I trust my guts coz it's always right.

"Bilisan mo naman mag lakad! Tumatawag na si Dad ko!" natataranta namang sabi ni Leanne.

Binilisan namin ang lakad dahil mahirap na rin sumakay sa jeep dahil oras na..
