(Chapter Nineteen: A loud visitor pays a visit.)
"Didn't I told you to don't come back?" Ang bati ni Iziriah once na may pumasok na dalawang lalaki sa cafe. Familiar ang mga mukha nito at halatang regular customers.
Nagkatinginan yung dalawang lalaki tapos sabay na namula, as if kinilig sa sinabi ni Iziriah.
>/////<!!
"S-sorry!" Sabay na paumanhin nung dalawa at nag-bow pa.
=___=
"Whatever. Just sit down and order. You're blocking the door, you scumbags." Atsaka tumalikod si Iziriah at nagpatuloy sa pagtrabaho, agad namang naghanap ng ma-uupuan yung dalawa habang nakangiting aso, masaya na napansin sila ng paborito nilang sadistang waitress. Talk about masochists.
"Hm, Iziriah-chan is in her top shape today." Komento ni Kayden habang nakaupo sa isang stool sa may counter, pinapanood si Iziriah, nasa tabi nya si Raven na nakaub-ob ang mukha sa lamesa at kanina pa tahimik.
Well, this day is going by smoothly, hindi masyadong matao kaya naman ay chill namuna yung ibang mga waiters and waitresses sa locker room.
"What? You gonna order or just stare at me like an idiot?" Rinig nyang matalim na pahayag ni Iziriah na ngayon ay kinukuha yung order nung mga bagong dating na customers, which is yung dalawang lalaki.
"I wonder why." Kayden rested his chin on his hand, still staring at Iziriah thoughtfully. You see, Iziriah's in her tippy top shape today, always making sadistic remarks and treating the customers harshly, it's perfect.
"One strawberry parfait." Nilingon ni Kayden si Sylvia ng makalapit ito sakanila, atsaka inipit yung order sa taas.
Lumabas si Sean mula sa kusina atsaka kinuha yung order at binasa, "Coming right up." Then he turned his back around and went back to the kitchen to make the parfait. Umupo si Sylvia sa tabi ni Raven habang hinihintay yung order.
Lumapit naman si Iziriah na nakapoker face, walang sabi nyang isinabit ang order sa taas at umupo sa tabi ni Kayden na nakatingin pa din sakanya.
<w<
>___>
"What?" Taas kilay ni Iziriah, lumaki ang ngiti ni Kayden.
"Just wondering why you're extra colder today." Kibit balikat ni Kayden.
Malamig lang syang tinitigan ng dalaga atsaka muling ibinaling ang atensyon nito sa kung saan. Si Kayden naman ang napataas ng kilay pero hinayaan nalamang sya.
The café, for the first time, was miraculously quiet, only the low chatters of the customers inside and the faint grilling of food from the kitchen can be heard. Maybe because it's a lazy Sunday? Who knows?
Iziriah yawned and rubbed her eyes lazily.
*ting*
Tumayo si Sylvia atsaka pinuntahan ang bagong dating na customer. Inilibot nung customer ang kanyang mata sa paligid habang nakaawang ang bibig, "Whoa..."
"Irasshai." Bati ni Sylvia sa babaeng pumasok.
Nanlaki ang mga bughaw na mata nung babae habang nakatitig kay Sylvia. Sylvia, being a tsundere,
"W-what? Who g-gave you permission to s-stare at me?" Utal ni Sylvia.
Mas lalong nanlaki ang mga mata nung customer atsaka napangiti,
"Oh my gad! You're a tsundere!" Tili nito na tila ba nagpa-fangirl.
Agad namang napatingin ang mga customers sakanya, sina Iziriah naman ay napalingon sakanya dahil sa lakas ng boses nito.
0____0
Nanlaki ang mata ni Iziriah ng makilala kung sino ang babaeng customer, agad syang tumayo at akmang pupunta sa locker room ng napansin sya ng babae,
"Iziriah-san!" Sigaw nito atsaka sya itinuro.
Napalingon kay Iziriah yung mga customers, habang napataas naman ang kilay nila Kayden at Sylvia, si Raven ay napatunghay atsaka nakataas din ang kilay. First because this girl knew Iziriah, and second because this girl knows how Japanese honorifics works.
Nanigas si Iziriah sakanyang kinatatayuan, yung paa nya ay bahagyang nakataas na para bang hahakbang palang. Dahan dahan nyang nilingon yung babae na nakangiti ng malaki.
"Kyla..."
Agad syang nilapitan ng Cosplay Princess, "Waaah! This café is heaven!" Atsaka ito umikot-ikot sa harapan nya kung paano umikot sina Snow White. Napangisi si Kayden dahil dito.
"...Uhm, yeah." Alanganing tumango nalamang si Iziriah.
Hinarap na sya ni Kyla atsaka tiningnan ang kabuuhan ni Iziriah.
"You look good in that uniform, Iziriah-san!" Kyla smiled widely.
-.-
"Yeah right." Iziriah rolled her eyes, not believing the blue eyed girl. "Anyway, tatayo ka lang ba jan o mag-oorder? Kung hindi sisipain kita palabas ng cafe."
Kyla giggled and bounced towards a vacant seat.
"Order please!" Tawag nito kay Iziriah atsaka itinaas pa ang kamay, napa-dead pan nalang si Iziriah at nakapoker face na lumapit sakanya.
"What's your order, brat?"
"Hmm, let's see. What do you recommend~?" Kyla tilted her head as she opened the menu, then glanced at Iziriah whose still sporting the icy look on her face.
"Let's see, I recommend you to stand up and get out of the café. How about that~?" Iziriah smiled sarcastically as she tilted her head to the side.
Napangiwi si Kayden at Sylvia dahil dito, si Raven naman ay napasimangot.
"Jesus. She'll scare away the new customer." Raven muttered, face palming.
"Maybe I should be the one to get her order." Sabi naman ni Sylvia na nakakunot noo.
"Damn. Iziriah's as sharp as ever. I feel sorry for the poor cutie." Kayden shuddered.
Nagulat sila ng tumawa lamang yung babae, halatang hindi naapektuhan sa ugali ni Iziriah.
"No thank you! How about, a slice of blueberry cheesecake?" Kyla smiled cheerfully.
"Of course." Iziriah turned her back and made her way to the counter,
"Order. One slice of blueberry cheesecake." Tawag ni Iziriah. Lumabas sa kitchen si Sean na may dalang strawberry parfait sa isang tray.
"Order up. Strawberry parfait." Inilapag nya yung tray sa counter. Lumapit si Sylvia at kinuha yung order,
"Thanks." She delivered the order to the customer.
