I: HIS LADY PILOT

Chapter 20

"Oh what's bring you here?" Tanong sakanya ng kaibigan na si Snow.

"No how are you? How have you been?"sarsikadong tanong niya.

Tumingin naman ang kaibigan.

"For what? Boyfriend mo ba ako? Asawa?" Harsh naman nitong turan. "Makahirit ka sakin samantalang ni isang pasalubong wala kang dala..!"

She growled.

"Pahingi na nga lang ng pagkain..gutom na ako..dito ako dumeretso right after my long, long flight," maktol niya.

"My I remind you na opisina tong pinuntahan mo at hindi restaurant..!" Anito at hindi siya tinignan, busy ito sa laptop niya, probably working. "Tska anong silbi ng bulaklak at chocolate na dala mo? Di yan kainin mo..!"

Napasimangot siya pero ng mapatingin sa mga bulaklak, napangiti siya, kinuha ito at inamoy. Kanina ng makarating after ng flight niya, she received it, the one who gave her say it came from a person named Kapriel Villamor. She didn't expect, it but it make her smile and suddenly her tiredness lessen.

"Asus...and what with the smile?!"tukso sakanya ni Snow. "Ang sweet naman pala ni Red ano,..may paflowers pa! next sabihan mo dagdagan na din ng pagkain kasi ang girlfriend niya may halimaw sa loob ng tiyan na laging gustong kumain!"

Nawala bigla ang ngiti niya at binitawan ang hawak.

"I-it's not from R-red,"mahinang bulong niya.

"Huh?" Ani Snow at nakita niyang napatingin sa gawi niya.

"It's not from Red," ulit niya. "Remember the acting CEO I told you? Kapriel Villamor, his the one who gave it.."

She saw her friend frowned.

"Why?"maiksing tanong nito.

"Don't know" sagot niya na hindi tumitingin sa kaibigan.

"Liar..!" Asik nito. "What's happening between you two? May I remind you Gie Ann may boyfriend ka..!"

"Aist..! He just gave me flower, what's the big deal with that..!"sumbat naman niya. "Binibigyan ka din naman ng mga bulaklak ng iba ah kahit may asawa ka na.."

Napasandal ang kaibigan sa upuan at seryosong nakatingin sakanya.

"Because the way you smile and look at it awhile ago it's different Gie..your eyes glowing, something like that, that even me I can't explain.. at yung binibigay sakin is out of appreciation or courtesy..eh how about you..?!"

Napalunok naman siya. Did she? At oo nga para ano nga ba?

Bago pa man siya makasagot narinig niyang tumunog ang tiyan niya, napahawak siya dito at napalingon kay Snow. Nakita niyang napabuntong-hininga naman ito sabay pindot sa intercom at tinawag si May ang sekretarya niya.

"Tell her what you want.." maawtoridad na sabi nito.

Ngumiti naman siya kay May at sinabi ang gustong kainin.

"Yes Miss A, pero baka iba na lang po magpunta dito ng pagkain niyo kasi Miss Snow will have a meeting already.." sagot ng sekretarya.

Tumango naman siya at nakita niyang naghahanda na din ang kaibigan.

"Are you staying here? Or what.." tanong nito sakanya.

"I will just eat and go home..I want to have chit chat with you but I guessed your busy.."aniya.

"Come to the house tomorrow..oh wait your going home to province right? Its weekend"

"No..mother earth went to tita's house at batangas with Elise they will come back on Monday so I will just go home next week..."sagot niya.
