Chapter 27 Talk

Chapter 27

Talk

Lumipas ng mabilis ang mga araw pagkabalik namin ng Maynila. Naging busy ako sa trabaho pati na din si Kyle kaya nakatulong iyon sa pagiwas ko sa pagiisip ng mga bagay bagay.

I told Ate Aisa that I wouldn't buy the land anymore. Tinanong niya kung bakit pero sabi ko ay sasabihin ko nalang sa kaniya kapag nagkita kami ng personal. I don't know if I should tell her about Javier. I didn't tell anyone except Kyle about him.

I don't want anyone to know that I am involved in him other than the incident happened years ago.

"Thank you Casimiro! Samahan mo ako doon ah?"

I am currently at the café I like staying in, while talking to Casimiro on the phone. Lunch break namin at dahil maluwag naman ako ngayon ay dito ko naisipan pumunta. Hindi ko naman mahanap si Kyle kaya ako lang magisa ang kumakain.

"Of course! Magd'donate din ako cachorro!"

Siya ang naghanap ng orphanage na pwede kong pag donate'an noong minsan kong sinabi sa kaniya na balak ko iyong gawin. He seemed happy with that and volunteered to find an orphanage. I'm actually pleased with the idea too.

I ordered one of my favorite food and drink to eat. I opened my laptop too, to find some land in Cebu. Iniisip ko tuloy kung mali ba na hinayaan ko na si Javier nalang ang bumili noon. Why can't I separate personal feelings and business?

Pero ganoon din naman siya. It would be really hard for me to work with him. Tama lang iyon Aio. Maghanap nalang tayo ng ibang lupa. Hindi tayo mauubusan ng lupa.

I jumped out of my sit when someone pull a chair in front of me and sat down. My breathing hitched from being startled and now for seeing who's in front.

"Dave!" gulat kong sabi.

Natawa naman siya sa reaksyon ko pero hindi pa din ako makapaniwala na nandito siya sa harap ko.

"Yes Aio I know I'm good looking you stop staring now."

I blinked and breathe. "I didn't expect to see you here..."

He shrugged and flash a smile, "Neither did I."

He looked more lean and taller now. His feature is still soft like how I remember him back in college but he definitely changed. Napaisip tuloy ako kung may nagbago ba sa itsura ko dahil pagtumitingin ako sa salamin ay wala naman akong makita.

"Kamusta ka? Dito ka sa Manila nagt'trabaho?" tanong ko.

He nodded, "Yeah, after we graduate, I moved here. Ikaw? Bakit ngayon lang kita nakita dito?"

"I was in Laguna for the past years, kailan lang ako nagsimulang magtrabaho dito."

"Laguna? That's far."

I smiled a little and didn't say anything. Wala naman akong magandang dahilan para sabihin sa kaniya kung bakit doon ako nag stay at nagtrabaho. Ayaw ko din magsinungaling.

"Kumain ka na ba? You should... order..." I awkwardly said.

It's inappropriate that I'm already eating while he's just seating in front of me.

"Hindi pa nga. Can we share the table?"

I blinked and nodded, "Of course!"

Ayaw ko nang alalahanin ang huling beses naming paguusap. It was so hard for me to say things to him, lalo na at alam kong may nararamdaman siya sa akin. He's a good guy, I can see that until now that's why I'm really feeling sorry.
