The whole garden of the restaurant was quite. It has benches and arch. I remember now where did I first saw him. That was dad's launching of new products. Nagtatagal ako ng sapatos at bigla siyang sumulpot sa harap ko. Only that here is darker than before.

Nakatayo kaming pareho at nasa harap ang tingin.

"So, what do you want us to talk?"I asked first.

He was silent that he could just stand beside me wasting my time. And for his information, lakas ng loob niyang makiusap sa akin matapos niya akong insultuhin.

"I wanted to apologize about what happened."

Nanliit ang mata ko at hinarap siya. I pursed my lips to stop from smiling. Mr. Salve, aasarin muna kita ng kunti para naman makabawi ako.

"For your insults. When and where was it again, Mr. Salve? I'm sorry my memory is kinda lost..."sabay hawak sa noo at nag isip isip.

I saw how his jaw clenched. I tried to hide my smile at that. 'Yan! Mag insultuhan tayo rito, Carlos! At ng matahimik naman ang kaluluwa ko.

"At Rebora. When we first met..."

"Ah!"I did not let him finish his words and chuckled. "Oo nga pala. My mind immediately flashback things when I knew its impulsive for me. And the insult one is not an... exception."

Kunot ang noo niya habang nakatingin sa akin. Tila may nakuha sa aking mga sinabi. Good thing, Mr. Salve, napakatalino!

"I think you're just playing since..."

Namilog ang mata ko sa kanya. "Playing? Who? Me? I'm not! Anyway, thank you for your negotiation with us. I'm glad my half brother met up your standards." Gusto ko pa sanang samahan ng salitang high kaso mukhang harsh kaya hindi nalang.

"You did a great job..."

"Oh, no."putol ko ulit sa sasabihin niya."Pag narinig 'yan daddy ko masusuklam siya so you don't say it."

He cock his head on the other side and looked at me straight. Nag iwas naman ako ng tingin at napakagat sa labi.

"Apparently, you did first met me. If you could've just ignored what I've said your father might congratulate your hardwork at kung hindi ka lang sana naduwag sa sumunod natin'g appointment. But still you did well..."

"Narinig ko na 'yan!"I tried to laughed so he won't notice how sensitive I am whenever that kind of topic brought up to me.

Nilunok ko ang bukol sa aking lalamunan kahit masakit. How can it feels so right to know that someone says such words to you you've been dreaming to hear of?

"Anything else?"without looking up to him.

"I'm sorry again. And please be present at the event tomorrow night."aniya

"I was never absent in every event. I have to go now."saka umalis roon at iniwan siya.

"Kinausap kapa talaga! Nakita niya sigurong nakatingin tayong dalawa sa kanya. Anong sabi?"usisa niya.

I just shrugged my shoulders. Nag apologize lang sa nangyari which I felt half meant. Anyway...

"His face is familiar. I think nakita ko na siya somewhere..."

Pabalik na kami. She will drop me at our house before she goes home to her condo. I really admired how she acts independently right now. She's free and living peacefully on her own. I wonder when can I experience those things too?

"Update kita sa next steps! Bye!"she yelled as she drove away.

Kumaway na ako at pumasok sa bahay namin bitbit ang aking takeout. The house was quite and the lights are dim. Dumiretso ako sa kitchen at hinanda ang pagkain para sa sarili.
