Right Person at Wrong Time | COMPLETED

CHAPTER 29

Habang tulak tulak ang trolley ni Baby Brianna ay lumilingon lingon ako sa paligid. Hinahanap ko kasi iyong mga flour for baking area.

"Ah, kuya..." Kinalabit ko ang lalaking abala ngayon sa paglalagay ng mga sitsirya sa lagyan. Mabuti naman at lumingon siya at magiliw na bumati sa akin.

"Good morning, Ma'am! What can I help you?" Nakangiting aniya.

"Uhm, I was just going to ask where is the flour?" Tanong ko.

"Ah! Nasa may bandang tagiliran po na 'yon. Tapos lumiko po kayo ng konti at nando'n na po ang mga flour." he pointed not far from where we were.

I nodded and thanked him before heading to the flour section while slowly pushing the trolley.

Trinity bought something from Mercury Drug just nearby. Tatawag na lamang daw siya sa akin para madali niya kaming mahanap pagbalik.

As I walked towards the flour section, a man suddenly walked towards me from the opposite direction. It was Decxell.

Nang malapit na kami sa isa't isa ay nilampasan niya lamang ako. I knew he recognized me, but he acted like he didn't see us.

I heard that he got married to Riz, but I didn't care about it anymore. We already had our own lives, and we were both happy. Why did I have to see him again? I regretted buying milk the last time we met.

I shook my head, realizing I had been standing there for a while, looking at his back as he walked away. I took a deep breath and turned my back on him, heading towards the supermarket.

It was then that I remembered that I didn't have a basket to put the flour in. I cursed myself, "Shit. How can I carry these?"

"I'll carry them for you." His voice was cold when he spoke.

It was him.

"It looks like you won't be able to carry these because you have your baby. Let me carry these items to the counter. And after that, I'll leave," he said, still in a cold voice.

He had changed so much. Kuya Zach told me stories about him, and according to those stories, Decxell was happy. I was relieved to hear that news. At least he was okay.

"I can do it," I insisted, reaching for the basket he was holding, but he just turned it away. "I said I can do it."

"Until now, you are still so stubborn and hard-headed," he said while looking seriously at me.

I wasn't used to it. I couldn't stand his gaze anymore.

Wala na akong nagawa kundi ang pumayag. We were now walking together to the counter, but his presence made me feel uncomfortable. I kept looking at him. Muli akong napatingin sa kaniya nang marinig ko ang mahina niyang pagtawa.

"I'm still the same, the old Decxell. The way you're looking at me now seems like you're checking the changes in me," he smiled.

"It's not like that. It's just different," I replied.

"Why?" He asked.

"I can't explain." Iyon lamang ang tangi kong naisagot sa kaniya.

"You. You're the one who changed." Panimula niyang muli. I furrowed my eyebrows. "I mean, you became more independent. You look really mature now."

"Of course, I already have a child," Until now I still don't know what to act.

"I see," he looked at Baby Brianna. "How old is she? She really looks just like you."
