All this Time

"Grabe! Kinagalitan niya talaga ako pag kagising ko nung araw na yun!" Pag kuwento ko kay Rocel kung anong nangyari nitong nakakaraang linggo, Pero what's good were better ni Van. Wala pang away at tampuhan na naitatala ngayong linggo. "Ayan! Sutil ka kasi! Sinabi ng huwag magpapaka lasing e!"

"Susko naman! Kailangan ko din naman mag enjoy!" Pagtatanggol ko naman sa aking sarili.

"Marami na mang ways para mag saya ng hindi nalalasing!" She pointed out while rolling her eyes at me. "Palibhasa kasi, Maluwag sayo si Hanz kaya hindi ka maka-relate!" I said talking about his Boyfriend. Oo sila na ata?

"Nagpapa alam naman kasi ako ng maayos!" Singhal naman ni Rocel. Tho she has a boyfriend, I still feel she's like a single woman. "So kayo na nga talaga?" Tanong ko naman.

"Ewan ko, Oo daw sabi niya" She said literally confused with their own status.

"Sorry Late" Bungad ni Hope na sumingit sa aming usapan. "O ateng? Buti nagpa kita ka!?" Sarkastikong tanong ko, Si Hope na laging 'go lang' sa mga lakad namin ay bigla biglang naging occupied nitong mga nakakaraang linggo.

"Oo diba! Sabi ko naman hahabol ako" She said before taking my milktea and have a sip on it. "Ano na! May status na ba kayo ni Papa Aaron? Nag date kayo no? Kaya hindi mo kami sinisipot nitong mga nakakaraan?" I asked suspicously.

"Puro kayo Aaron! Sa inyo na siya! Nagta-trabaho ko mga gurl! Kaya hindi ako nakakasama sa inyo" Sabi niya bago tumingin roon sa cellphone niyang nag ring.

Matapos ang kaunting kuwentuhan sa paborito naming coffee shop ay nag plano narin kaming maghiwa hiwalay ng ulit at bumalik sa kanya kanya naming trabaho.

"Is he coming or what?" Van asked Gio a little irritated. They were supposedly having a meeting today at exactly 3:00 PM but someone is late, kaya hindi pa sila nakakapag umpisa. "I texted him already, Papunta na raw siya" Gio informed his bestfriend.

"Is he at work or just at home?" Van asked further. "He said he is at work earlier...Who knows maybe he meet up with someone that's why he's coming a bit late" Gio said then look at Mr.Guiverra who is just busy reviewing his noted plans.

"Mr. Guiverra, Can you still wait? I think he got jam on the traffic" Gio worriedly asked Mr.Guiverra. "No it's fine, I understand" Saktong pag sagot ni Mr. Guiverra kay Gio ay dumating na ang kanina pa nila hinihintay.

"Cole? Buti naka rating ka na" Gio said before pulling his brother down and sit across Mr.Guiverra. Samantala ito namang si Cole ay hindi makapaniwalang nakaharap niya nanaman si Van.

"Goodafternoon, Sorry I am late...I got stuck in the traffic" Cole apologized while politely shaking his hands with Mr.Guiverra his newest Client together with Van.

"So shall we start the meeting? I am very excited to discuss with Mr.Cole whats on my mind" Mr.Guiverra cheerfully told the three men.

Nang matapos mag meeting ay naiwan ang tatlo sa mesa habang si Mr.Guiverra ay sandaling pumunta ng comfort room.

"How are you Cole?" Van suddenly asked making Cole turn up his head from the phone and look at Van. "A-ayus lang naman" Maikling sagot ni Cole.

Uyy! Kinakabahan! Sino nga uling kasama mo bago pumunta sa meeting?

"Sinabi ko naman sayo na exact 3:00 PM diba? Bakit na late ka pa?" Nanggagaliiting tanong ni Gio. "I meet up with someone special earlier, That's why" Cole said before glancing at Van.
