The Opposite Ones

Chapter 8|| Girlfriend

   QUIRO

Nasa labas ako ng bahay ngayon, nasa backyard habang kausap ang sekretayra ko sa San Francisco. And yes, nagtatagalog ako. Tch. I already know how to speak tagalog but I often use that language. Like what's the point right? I always face and talk to my business partners which are foreigners with the international language and often goes here in the Philippines. Well, even if I'm here I still always speak in english, but the question here is, what's up with the change?

 Well, it's because of my mom and yes, Driss. They talked to me last week about my approached and behaviour in front of their favorite visitor. I won't say her name anymore cause I know that you all know who she is. I was first frustrated when I heard them say it cause why would I adjust to their visitor? Who is she to me? I mean yes she's my sister's bestfriend and the daughter of our family lawyer but that's it. She's nothing to me more than a bawling brat who keeps on rolling her eyes everytime she looks at me. Even though I find it cute but still. Why would I adjust myself to that weird woman anyway? Bakit ako ang mag-aadjust para sa kanya? Bakit di pwedeng siya? Siya naman lagi ang na ngununa saming dalawa ah. This is just so unfair.

"Kuya. Tawag ka ni Driss sa loob. Kris is already here." Raphael informed me. 

I'm not really expecting her to be here. Huli ko siyang nakita nung araw na bumisita ako sa ospital para sa Young Doctors Conference 3 weeks ago at hindi rin maganda ang mood nya nang araw na yun. Well she always not in the mood every time she sees me. Nagkasagutan pa sila ng chief nun na humantong pa sa pag walk out niya. If I'm not wrong it was all about her cancer patient. She really want to prove a point even though she knows that her point is still useless. Even though I didn't study medicine, I still have a little knowledge about it and one things is for sure. Only a miracle can save a cancer patient. A patient who has stage 3 cancer, a cancer that is really rare to have. Well even though the room was being heated that time because of their sensitive topic I was still kinda amazed on how she reported her patients case earlier to the chef that day. I often hear her speak in english, pag may gatherings na kailangan lang at pag naiinis na talaga siya sakin, so I was really surprise at her that time. She sound so intelligent and confident while speaking in english.

"Yeah I'll be there. I just have to finish this call." Raphael just nodded then turn his back at me. I just told some important things to Terrence, my secretary then went inside after. I immediately saw Kris talking to Rio on her side. She really adores my niece. 

"Talaga? Gusto mo bilhan rin kita ng purple car?" I heard her ask Rio. I seated right next to Keighfer who is kinda busy talking to Driss. 

"Tita ganda, purple are just for girls. I am a man and a man don't like purple, they should like black." Kumunot kaagad ang noo nito sa sinabi ni Rio. Tss. Let me guess, she will ask my niece who told him that then my niece will point at me and the bickering will start. As usual.

"Sino naman nagsabi niyan sayo? At hindi ka pa man okay? Baby ka pa." And I was right. Rio then pointed his cute little fingers at me. She then look at me with her piercing eyes like she's about to punch me right where i'm sitting right now. This woman is really something.

"What?" I boredly ask her. I don't want to say more cause she always has a long rant about it. She has this talent to makes small things bigger.
