Kismet's Cultivation [Metanoia Series 1]

Kismet 28 🌱

Late ako ng gising kaya naman nagkakandarapa na ako ng pumuntang bathroom para maligo. Mabuti na lang at hindi pa siya gising.

Nang matapos ay mabilis akong nagbihis nang unang damit na nahatak ko sa aking closet. Nagmamadali akong lumabas sa aking kwarto para umalis nang hindi man lang naglalagay ng kung anong makeup. Sa office na lang. Marami naman akong time mamaya.

Kaso, bago ko pa mabuksan ang pinto ay may tumawag na sa pangalan ko.

"You're avoiding me."

Agad akong napalingon kay Zaffron na kakalabas lang sa kwarto niya.

"What? No. I'm..." naglikot ang mata ko. Naghahanap ng pwedeng dahilan. "B-busy lang talaga kasi n-nagsunod-sunod 'yung mga client."

He scanned my face, as if looking if I'm lying or not. I looked down when I couldn't met his gaze. A few moments of silence enveloped us. I looked at my watch but not really recalling the time.

"I'll leave."

Gulat na napaangat ako ng tingin sa kaniya. Hindi ko mawari kung namamalikmata lang ako pero nakita kong dumaan ang lungkot sa kaniyang mga mata.

"This place should felt home for you. Pero hindi 'yon mangyayari kung nandito ako. Kung may iniiwasan ka."

I gulped. "But it is true that I'm late today," I told him honestly. I bit my lip when I felt the urge to pout.

"Then the whole week?"

Napayuko ako nang hindi ako makasagot. Parang batang napagalitan. Patapos naman na 'yung wedding ng isang artistang recommend ni Ate Cass mula sa pinsan n'ya. After that, we'll be back to ur usual load. Hassle lang talaga kasi kilala 'yung may kasal ngayon.

"Pasok ka na baka kailangan ka na," he said coldly that made me shivered and pulled me out of my thoughts.

Napaangat ako ng tingin sa kaniya. Biglang may naisip. "Hindi ka aalis?"

This time, siya naman ang hindi sumagot. I bit my lip when another moment of silence passed.

"Tommorrow," I told him finally after I contemplated for a few moments. "I'll be here the whole day. Um, let's watch?"

He eyed me curiously lile I'm up to something when I'm not.

He half heartedly nodded making me smile. At least, that simple nod meant he won't leave today, right?

I came in my condo before lunch time kahit na hindi naman dapat. Sobrang sandali ko lang sa office at pinaalis na rin naman ako ng mga empleyado ko dahil mukha daw akong luting dahil ilang beses ko nang hindi nagawa nang tama ang gawain ko. I sighed. Sa panahon ngayon, employee na ang nagagalit sa boss. I shook my head at the thought.

I have paperbags on my hand with the take out I bought inside, from a fastfood restaurant.

My eyes instantly scanned the place and look for Zaffron to my whole unit. Nang hindi makita ay ibinaba ko muna ang pagkain sa mesa saka siya hinanap. Bahagyang napanatag ako sa 'di malamang dahilan nang makitang bukas ang balcony. Agad akong pumunta roon.

Nakita ko si Zaffron pero hindi ko inaasahan ang ayos niya. He was doing push ups again but he's only wearing boxers and not the shorts that I lend him. The cloth was hugging tightly as his second skin I couldn't helped but gulped when I felt my throat dried.

His ass looked sexy and round...

I bit my lower lip and blushed when he suddenly looked up at me. He caught me staring!
