Simula nung sinabihan ko si Agnes na hindi siya aalis ng condo ng hindi kumakain, napilitan na rin akong magising ng maaga dahil kailangan ko siyang ipagready ng breakfast. Minsan nakakapagod pero okay lang kasi alam kong para kay Agnes naman lahat ng 'to.
"Wifey, I'll pick you up na lang sa office ah. Don't bring your car anymore."sabi niya.
"Hindi ka ba magstay sa office?"tanong ko sa kanya. Umiling siya.
"May meeting ako outside. You're meeting with Raisa again today di ba?" Tumango ako. Agnes looked worried kaya medyo natawa ako.
"Aji relax. I won't get into a catfight with your ex."sabi ko sa kanya.
"Yeah I know but sometimes you lose your cool eh. Sabihan ko si Jam to watch over you."
"Well kung ibibilin mo rin lang ako kay Jam, might as well tell her to bring shields."sabi ko sa kanya and Agnes pouted.
"Chars lang. I promise to be nice kahit konting-konti na lang makakalbo ko na talaga yang ex mo." Natawa lang si Agnes.
Pagdating namin sa building, Agnes just gave me a kiss bago ako bumaba. And bago siya umalis binaba niya yung bintana ng kotse.
"O what?"
"Play nice okay?"sabi niya.
"I am nice." She just smiled.
"Pero Agnes."sabi ko sa kanya.
"What?"
"I'm also a Khaleesi. So you better tell Jam to prepare. Kasi pag lumandi nanaman sa'yo yang ex mo, I will burn her to the ground."
"Alright khaleesi. Geez. Ito na nga di ba, di na nga ako magpapakita para hindi na ma-unleash yung mga dragons mo. Bye wifey. I'll see you later."
Napailing na lang ako. Hopefully today would be peaceful since Agnes is not around. Pag-akyat ko ng office, andun na sila Raisa and si Allan kaya nagstart na agad kami ng meeting. Natatawa ako kasi napansin kong tensed masyado si Jam habang nasa meeting. Kinakabahan 'ata siyang magkasagutan nga kami ni Raisa.
Pero hindi naman. I guess we're both not in the mood to argue today. Pabalik na ako sa work station ko nung biglang lumapit sa 'kin si Raisa. Well, here we go.
"Pat."
"If you're looking for my girlfriend, she's not here."
"Alam ko. And sakto kasi I want to talk to you."
"Tungkol saan?"
"Tungkol kay Agnes."
"Cut to the chase."sabi ko sa kanya.
"Stop pretending that you and Agnes are engaged. Kasi alam kong hindi magpapakasal si Agnes."sabi niya.
"Well, if you're so keen on making sure that we are engaged, well we are getting married next year and you can ask her mom or her dad or her siblings. Or you can ask mine, I don't mind."
"Hindi ako naniniwalang magpapakasal sa'yo si Agnes."
"And what made you think that?"
"I've been Agnes's long term girlfriend and if she really wanted to get married then she should have gotten married with me."
"Ah, now I get it. But just because she didn't do it for you doesn't mean she's not gonna do it for someone else. Girl, baka ayaw niya lang talaga magpakasal sa'yo."
"Alam mo Pat, I know Agnes. She would never talk about marriage so hindi ako naniniwalang she'll get married to you. So you might be her girlfriend now, but when you're already years down the line you'll get to realize that Agnes is not the marrying type. Slowly you will soon realize that you can't wait for your girlfriend to be ready after so many years of being together. Life just doesn't work that way."
