Raindrops of Chance

Chapter 8

Gabriel's POV

"Excuse Miss...can I see these one?," I asked the sales clerk while pointing out the silver ring with a gold lining. The diamond on the center of it speaks for its elegance.

"Sure sir, just give us a minute....please wait on that area," she said and looked at the sofa on the corner.

"Sure."

Ginala-gala ko ang paningin sa bawat sulok ng jewelry shop na ito. Simple and modern, maganda din ang notif lalo na't ang may-ari pala ay tubong Pranses.

"Can't wait to have her officially," I silently mouthed. Sa totoo lamang ay hindi ko aakaling darating pa din kami sa ganitong sitwasyon. I suddenly remember the time when I was broken because of her.

"Damn, am so fuckin' hilarious! Like what the hell, can somebody told me," nanggagailiting sigaw ko na halos mawalan ako ng boses ".....yeah all of you!."

Bawat direksiyon ay tinitingnan ko ngunit napapaduko na lamang sila. Mas lalo pa akong nainis nung

Hindi ko na pinansin pa ang mga lumapit sa akin. Wala na akong ibang naiisip kung hindi siya lang. Czarina.

"I said can some-."

"Shout again or else you'll be in jail. What the hell.is.your.problem."

Mula sa likod ko ay mayroong nagsalita. She's wearing a black dress that perfectly suits her skin. Muntik ko nang mabasag ang shot glass dahil sa higpit ng hawak ko dito. Damn she's like Czarina.

"I said what's your problem?," she asked it again.

"Get out! I don't want to see your face anymore," direktang saad ko sa kanya, pagkatapos ay dinuro gamit ang hintuturo ko. Tinapik naman niya ito at mabilis akong nilapitan.

"You should get out...get lost. Aren't you ashamed with your words? Look at yourself, you're such a waste" saad niya at nginisian ako. I just stared  at the opposite  side and threw the other shot glass.

No one's trying to make a move after it made a loud sound, causing to tear up in million pieces.

"Forgive me, Czarina.

"Sir calm down or you'll be in jail because of ruining these club."

"I don't fuckin' care," hindi ko na lamang pinasadahan pa ng tingin ang officer dahil yumukod na ako.

Wala ng boses na lumalabas pa sa aking lalamunan kaya't napaluhod na lamang ako. They watched me while my tears are falling down, then the next thing I knew the girl is now holding my hand and carry me away.

"Sir."

"She's Thalia De Vera..right?," I mouthed.

"These is the engagement ring, Mr. Conde."

Nawala ako sa pagiisip nang tawagin ako ng sales clerk. Agad ko namang kinuha ang singsing atsaka pinasadahan ng tingin.

"I'll buy it, where's the counter?," seryosong tanong ko.

"Thank you sir, this way," she replied and smiled.

Agad na tinungo ko ang daan na sinabi niya. As I make the fifth step toward, I suddenly stopped because of the woman behind it.

"Thalie?," mahinang tugon ko.

Hindi pa niya napapansin ang presensya ko dahil abala siya sa pagkausap sa isang customer.

"Next please!," sigaw nito. Hindi naman ako magalaw sa kinatatayuan ko. Why does her tummy bumps? Is she pregnant? Then who's the father?

"Next please!!!. Sir, your turn- Gab?."
