Tears of the Paradise (Isla Filipinas Series #2)

Chapter 15

"May bibilhin lang ako roon,"

Tinuro ko yung department store at nauna na akong maglakad papunta roon. Nakasunod naman si Vince na hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin siya tapos sa kinakain na ice cream.

"Sandali!" Habol nito kaya natawa ako at mas binilisan pa ang paglalakad ko. "Anong bibilhin mo, Bub??" He asked nang maabutan ako.

"Gift for my friends," I answered.

Ysa and Jasphire's graduation is just around the corner. Though we will not meet because I heard that they will have it on the same day kaya mag schedule na lang kami ng mini celebration to ourselves.

I was looking at the designer bags area. I was looking at the bags with eagle eyes habang si Vince naman ay mukhang walang pake sa mga gamit dahil paglingon ko ay nakatingin lang siya sa akin.

"May gift din ba ako kapag naka graduate na 'ko??" Nakangiting tanong ni Vince.

"Pwede naman," I shrugged. "Ano ba gusto mo?? Engineering stuff??" Tanong ko pa at tumawa naman siya.

"Joke lang, eh." Ginulo nito ang buhok ko kaya hinampas ko kamay niya. "Oh, anong kulay ba ang hanap mo??" Pag iiba niya sa usapan at humarap sa mga bag.

"I'm looking for green and blue,"

Ysa loves the color green while blue is Jasphire's favorite. They're not really materialistic but bags suit them both because of their personality.

"Excuse me," I went near a saleslady. "Do you have this bag in blue and green??"

I showed her the diana flap bags of chanel. The only colors on display are black, white and beige.

"Tatlo lang po ang available colors," Tinuro nung saleslady yung nga nakalagay sa shelf. "May alam po ako na purse that has your choice of colors po, Ma'am."

Sumenyas ito na sumunod ako sa kanya papunta sa kabilang aisle. Paglingon ko nagtaka ako kung bakit wala si Vince pero dahil malaki naman na siya ay hindi ko muna iyon hinanap.

The saleslady showed me a few purses that was just perfect for my two friends. They had it in blue and green kaya agad ko na kinuha na iyon.

"Saan ka galing??" Tanong ko kay Vince nang lumapit ulit siya sa akin sa cashier. "I'll pay cash," I said to the cashier before facing Vince again.

"May tinignan lang ako doon sa shoe salon," He pointed at the boutique across from us.

"May binili ka??" I asked nang iaabot ko ang bayad. "Tara na, kung wala ka na bibilhin."

I grabbed the paper bags and inside was the boxes of the bags. Maglalakad na sana ako pero napatigil nang hawakan ni Vince ang kamay ko.

I raised a brow at him pero ngumiti lang ito at sumenyas na maglakad na kami. Magkahawak ang kamay namin hanggang sa makarating kami sa parking lot.

"See you," He gave me a soft kiss on the cheek before I closed the door of my condo.

"Eww,"

I stopped walking towards my room when I saw Nathan in the couch watching netflix and has a disgusted expression on his face.

"Bitter ka?? Wala ka kasing lovelife." Pang aasar ko kaya sinamaan niya ako ng tingin.

"Bakit?? May label ba??" He fired back.

Wala na akong naisagot doon kaya inirapan ko na lang siya at nagpunta na sa kwarto ko.
