EVERYTHING ARRANGED [ON HOLD]

Chapter 28

(Nakaraan)

Nung pumasok na sya, I scanned my phone. May 2 missed calls. Parehong galing kay David.  Hmm? Bakit kaya? I texted him. 

*What's wrong? Hindi ko hawak phone ko kanina.*

I waited pero hindi naman ito nagreply. Must be sleeping already.

 Saktong labas naman ni Kent from the CR. Tumabi na ito sa akin. "Let's sleep na wifey?"

"Opo, hubby!"

"Goodnight forehead.." He kissed my forehead. "Goodnight rosy cheeks.." He kissed them both. "Goodnight beautiful Tara." He said then kissed my lips. "I love you."

"I love you more."

Chapter 28

Tara's POV

RING! RING! RING!

Sandali akong nawala sa pagrereview ng mga papeles and took my phone. I didn't bother to look at the caller ID.

"Hello?"

[ Hi baby! ]

Nangunot ang noo ko. Saglit kong nilayo ang phone sa tenga ko to see who the hell ang tumatawag sa akin ng baby. Haha! David. I smiled. "Baby who?"

[ Grabe ka naman, Ta. Yan kaya ang lagi kong tawag sayo. ]

"Chillax. Para endearment lang." I chuckled. "Why call?"

[ Can we have lunch? ]

"Ha?"

[ No, what I mean is, let's have lunch! ]

"Hmm, baby, then lunch, then what's next? May ginawa ka bang kasalanan sa akin? Spit it out."

He chuckled. [ What was that, Ta? I am just merely asking you out for lunch. ]

"I know, Vid. But that's so unusual of you. Come on. May nagawa ka nuh?"

[ Masakit na ha. Haha! Gusto lang kitang makasamang mag-lunch! That's all! Ang tagal na nating hindi nagbobonding baby! ]

Napailing nalang ako and smiled. "Whatever."

[ You're coming or not? ]

"Of course I will. At maalala ko, marami kang ikwekwento sa akin. MARAMI." I emphasized it talaga. Since kasi ng nakita ko silang magkasama ni Ami, hindi pa ulit kami nagkakausap. Well, syempre. Gusto kong malaman kung pano sila nagkakilala and if there is something going on between them.

[ Woah. Fine. Haha! I'll just pick you up. ]

"Ha? No need. Just text me where."

[ No baby, I said I'll pick you up. See you! ] And he hang.

Weird. Knowing Vid hindi naman sya basta magyayaya kung walang mportanteng usapan or gimik. This one's unplanned. Oh well. I stood up at nag-ayos na ng gamit. Lumabas na ako and headed sa office ni Kent.

I peeked my head at the slightly opened door. "Hey."

Nag-angat to ng tingin and smiled as he saw me. Handsome. "Hey."

I smiled at tuluyan ng pumasok sa opisina nito. "I'll be having lunch with David."

"What? Pumunta ka dito para sabihin sa akin yan?"

I instantly flashed a remorseful smile. "Let me, okay? Matagal ko na din kasing hindi nakakasama yun." ...And honestly, I really want to know kung anong meron sa kanila ni Ami.
