ANTHALIA IVVANOVICH: The Substitute Bride

Chapter 35

I watched Tamarah order bulks of pancake and waffles. She asked for more chocolate syrup .

Hinayaan ko lamang siya.

Ilang araw na siyang naka bakasyon dahil sa akin. Slowly naibabalik ko na sa dati Ang lahat.

Bumalik na Rin ako sa trabaho kanina at laking ginhawa ng mga empleyado ko dahil sa aking pagbabalik.

Lalo na ng aking assistance in charge.

"How's work?" Pasalampak siyang umupo at uminom Ng iced coffee.

I badly wanted to ask what happened in the mountains because she's... Very unusual these days .

"Okay Lang, we have 8 new book Ins , mostly wedding and debuts. Nakakamiss din mag organized ng event."

She eyed me

" Eh pagiging royal Highness?"
"Oh shut up Tams, I'm sick of it."

Uminom ako sa mainit na kape at pinagmasdan ang labas ng restaurant.

Wet season is here.

"You're sad."

I smile without looking at her.

"It will come to pass."

"No."

Doon ko nilingon si Tamarah

"It won't. You know why? Because you keep running away . It will always haunt you down and it will make you sad all the time."

That hits me.

We looked at each other as if Sharing the same misery.

We're really are besties.

Sabay kaming napa buntong hininga at sabay Rin na humigop sa inumin

Damn this life.

Tatanda na Lang talaga akong dalaga.

I have the  AEO company , my very own event organizing business na lumalaki at mas nakikilala these days.

I have mom and Khai, our people in Baubax.

Sapat na sila.

Hindi ko kailangan... Ng isang lalake na sasaktan lang ulit ako.

"How about you? How's the expedition?"

She gave me a roll eyes.

"God. No improvement, for all these years Hindi pa namin na tatract Ang exact location Ng mga wild horses. It is as if they are vanishing , or constantly migrating from one mountain to another. Para silang nakikipag laro Ng patintero."

But apart from the annoyance I can see something in his eyes.

"May Hindi ka sinasabi."

"Wala Noh!"

She avoid my eyes and sip on her coffee.

"Sabihin mo na."

Matagal bago niya ako nilingon.

"Raicku, He... confessed."

Impit akong napatili at umayos ng upo.

"Omg, the fafable hunk? Oh? Ano sagot mo? !"

Kung Hindi ako swertehin sa pag ibig baka Naman sa kaibigan ko oo!

"Fafable hunk!?" Nanlaki Ang mga mata na turan niya

"Yeah! Why? Hindi mo ba nakikita Ang kaguwapuhan at hunkyness niya? God, Tamarah. The man is a God! His mestizo blood line says so!!!"

Pero Wala sa akin Ang mga mata niya.
