Three Men Plus She (Completed)

34 - Favor

Emily makes sure to finish her work on Friday afternoon. Since she shares room with her sister, she has not prepared her stuff going home on weekend. While Gabriel and Elizabeth are still discussing, she took that chance to ask permission from Gabriel to prepare her things going home and the latter allowed her. Therefore, she immediately runs to her room and pack her things.

It is already passing six in the evening and Elizabeth is still in the Chairman's office with Gabriel. Fearing that she might stuck in traffic Emily prefers  not to disturb the two, so she just texted them to say her goodbye.

Since Gabriel and Elizabeth are having an intense discussion, they both did not notice Emily's message. It was few minutes after seven that they finally finish and only then that they read Emily's message.

Elizabeth quickly runs to their room to check if Emily left already and to her dismay, her sister's bags are no longer at the corner side of the room. She immediately runs and ranted on Gabriel. "This is your fault, iniwan ako ni Emily. I'm supposed to come with her in Bulacan," she fierce said.

"I did not know na may usapan kayo," Gabriel said.

"Sinabi ko na kasi sa iyo na next week na lang tayo mag-discuss mapilit ka pa," Elizabeth uttered.

"If you did not take a half day off, eh di sana natapos tayo nang maaga at matiwasay," Gabriel answered back.

"I hate you, Gabriel Alcaraz, kung hindi dahil sa iyo, hindi ako iiwan ni Emily," Elizabeth frustratedly said.

"Tell me honestly, are you a lesbian?" Gabriel asked.

"Excuse me? Do I look like a lesbian to you?" Elizabeth said.

"Not physically, pero malay ko ba," Gabriel uttered. "Yung reaction mo kasi para hindi ka mabubuhay nang wala si Emily sa tabi mo. Do you like her?" he asked.

"Ano naman sa iyo, bakit selos ka?" Elizabeth asked.

"Why would I? Alam kong lalaki ang gusto ni Emily," Gabriel meaningfully uttered.

"For your information, I am not a lesbian. I am just very disappointed kasi akala ko makakapunta ako ngayong weekend sa bahay nila Emily," Elizabeth uttered. "At dahil sa iyo, I don't know kelan pa ako makapunta ako sa bahay nila Emily," she added.

"Why are you so eager to go to Bulacan?" Gabriel asked.

"Wala kang pakialam," Elizabeth fiercely replied.

"You want to go to Bulacan, Lizzie?" they heard someone asked.

"Oh, hello there, Yago. It's nice to see you this early, brother," Gabriel sarcastically uttered. "Etong ex mo, nagagalit sa akin kasi iniwan ni Emily," he further said.

"Where is Emily?" Yago asked.

"She already left an hour ago," Elizabeth said.

"She usually leaves nang mga ganong oras, didn't she tell you?" Yago asked.

"She did, but apparently etong magaling mong kapatid, extended my training for another hour," Elizabeth replied.

"Pasalamat ka I only extended the training for an hour. You were out the whole morning, kulang ka pa nang 3 hours para makumpleto ang training mo for today," Gabriel uttered.

"Umuwi lang ako para kumuha ng gamit kasi nga gusto kong sumama kay Emily sa Bulacan," Elizabeth said. "But you ruin everything," she told Gabriel.

"Wait, alam ba ni Emily na sasama ka sa kanya sa Bulacan? Kasi kung alam nya, malamang hinintay ka nun," Yago asked.

"My brother has a point, malamang ikaw lang ang nakaisip na sumama kay Emily at hindi mo sinabi sa kanya agad para wala na syang chance na makatanggi pa sa iyo," Gabriel said.

"Kagabi ko lang naisip na sasama ako sa kanya sa Bulacan. Tulog na sya kaya hindi ko nasabi. I need to leave early this morning to get my stuff at home kaso I got a call from the cooking school. There was an issue that I need to attend to kaya after lunch na ako nakabalik. And you did not give us a chance to talk kaya hindi ko nasabi sa kanya na sasama ako sa Bulacan," Elizabeth said while tears started to streamdown her cheeks because of frustrations and Yago sees it.

"That's what you get for cutting classes and wasting my time," Gabriel said.

"You did not even let me have my afternoon break," Elizabeth said before she finally breaks down.

"Grabe, iniwan ka lang ni Emily ganyan ka nang umiyak?" Gabriel commented.

"Do you really want to go to Bulacan?" Yago asked.

"Yes, but how shall I do that, nakaalis na si Ate," Elizabeth replied.

"Get your stuff, ako ang maghahatid sa iyo sa bahay nila Emily," Yago said.

"Seriously, you will do that for me?" Elizabeth said.

"Yes, and you should hurry, bago pa magbago ang isip ko. I'll just change and gusto ko nandito ka na sa living room pagbalik ko," Yago said before he walks up the stairs.

"Kilos na, baka magbago ang isip ng knight in shinning armour mo," Gabriel said, teasing.

"I hate you for life, Gabriel," Elizabeth uttered before she runs up the stairs.

"Hate me as much as you want, I don't care. Ingatan mo ang kapatid ko ha, wag mong abusuhin. He does not often give offers like that," Gabriel exclaimed.

While in the room, Elizabeth immediately calls her sister, "Hello, Ate, bakit mo ako iniwan?" she asked as soon as Emily picks up.

"Wala naman akong maitutulong sa iyo sa discussion nyo ni Gabriel. Baka ma-traffic ako kaya umalis ako agad," Emily replied.

"Pero sasama ako sa iyo sa Bulacan," Elizabeth said.

"What? May usapan ba tayong sasama ka sa akin sa Bulacan?" Emily surprisedly asked.

"I only thought about it, last night, tulog ka na kaya hindi ko nasabi sa iyo. Kanina naman tulog ka pa nung umalis ako para kumuha ng gamit ko," Elizabeth said.

"I'm sorry, hindi ko alam na sasama ka sa akin. I texted you, sana sumagot ka sa message ko," Emily said.

"I only saw your message just now. Nakakainis kasi si Gabriel eh. Pwede ba, Ate, kapag nanligaw sa iyo ang masungit na yun, wag mong sasagutin. Papahirapan lang nun ang buhay mo," Elizabeth fiercely uttered.

"Lumalayo na naman tayo sa pinag-uusapan natin eh. Next week ka na lang sumama sa akin pauwing Bulacan," Emily said.

"Hindi pwede next week, Ate. By that time, nakabalik na si Lolo Lino sa mansion," Elizabeth said. "I am going there tonight," she firmly added.

"What? Pero lumipat na kami ng bahay, wala na kami dun sa dati nating tinitirhan," Emily said.

"It's alright, siguro naman Yago knows where your new place is," Elizabeth said.

"Yago? You are coming here with Yago?" Emily asked, smiling.

"Yes, he offered to drive me to Bulacan. I am desperate to see Tatay and Nanay again, so pumayag ako agad," Elizabeth said.

"Para-paraan ka, Lizzie. Baka naman pagdating nyo nang Bulacan, kayo na ulit," Emily uttered.
