Espresso And Cappuccino

Epilogue

" You sure you don't know what happened?"

I shook my head countlessly," Hindi nga!basta nakita ko nalang tinapon ni Nat yung singsing sa harap ni kuya!"

Benedict sighed harshly. His jaw clenched repeatedly and he looks like as if he can punch anyone right now. He's worried. And I am worried too!

I don't really know what happened. Kaninang umaga nagising nalang ako sa ingay at sigawan nilang dalawa. I was so worried that I immediately went out of my room only to see my bestfriend and my cousin fighting over something.

Alam kong hindi normal na away lang iyon dahil nakita kong umiiyak si Nat at si kuya naman ay blanko lang ang tingin sakaniya. It was something that made me worried big time. I know it was a fight that it can't just fix easily. They looked hurt. But what I heard from Nat that time,really left me surprised.

" Let's stop this,then. Walang matutuloy na kasal!" then she throw her engagement ring right in front of my cousin.

Sinubukan ko pang habulin si Nat ngunit mabilis niya akong inilingan at lumabas ng umiiyak. Ni hindi ko din alam kung sinong papanigan ko dahil hati ang atensyon ko sakanila. My cousin looked hurt too even if I didn't see him shed even a single tear. Blanko lang ang mukha niya ngunit alam kong masakit din iyon sakaniya.

I asked him about what happened,but like what Nat did,he shook his head. He smiled a bit at me and said," Don't worry,I will fix this,I promise."

Those are the last words he said bago niya pinulot ang singsing at naglakad palabas.

I hold on to it. And decided not to tell anyone even our friends. But Benedict is right here in my office,I don't know how he knew about what happened but he is really damn worried about Nathalie.

" Friendship,huwag ngayon." I looked at him," I know Nat just needs space to think. Hayaan nalang muna natin siya."

" But I can't just stay here knowing that she's no where to be found!wala siya sa hotel nila at kahit sa bahay nila!"

I gasped," I know. Calm your nerves,Arceo!away nilang mag fiance 'yon!"

" Ex- Fiance," mariin at seryoso niyang saad.

My eyes widened. Mabilis akong napailing iling nang tumayo siya. I think I know what he wants to do,and I know that's wrong. Hindi pupwede ang gagawin niya lalo na't makakadagdag lang siya sa gulo.

" W-where are you going?what are you planning to do?"

" I will find her."

After that,he just smiled at me a bit before he turned around.

" Benedict!"

Hindi niya na ako nilingon at derederetso siyang lumabas ng opisina. Maging ang sekretarya ko ay mabilis na pumasok at nag aalala ang mukha niya nang tignan ako. Sa sobrang gulo ay inilingan ko nalang siya at pinaalis.

Napasandal ako sa swivel chair ko at minasahe ang aking ulo. Hindi na nga nakakatulong ang tambak kong trabaho ngayon pagkatapos ay dadagdag pa si friendship sa away nila Nat at kuya.

Ilang araw makalipas noong nagka ayos kami ni Arrow. After I gave him the second chance,it feels like I was excited to wake up every morning. Knowing that I will recieve a text from him. He would sometimes visit me here in my office but we will always meet each other in the coffee shop after our work.

Yes,since then,binabalik balikan na ulit namin ang coffee shop na 'yon. Pakiramdam ko ay hindi lumilipas ang isang gabi na hindi ako nakangiti. He was really doing his best. Minsan ay siya pa ang nagpapadala ng lunch ko dito kahit hindi naman kailangan. At sa tuwing pupuntahan niya ako dito,ay alam kong pinag chichismisan na kami ng mga empleyado.
