Embracing the Forbidden (COMPLETED)

Kabanata 27

I admit that he is handsome to the point that he can get the attention of every woman. Yung mismong babae na ang manliligaw sakanya. Kitang kita naman no'ng pumasok sa siya sa coffee shop. Almost every woman in here checked him out.

Pero kahit ano namang gwapo niya. Hindi ko naman kayang ibalik ang nararamdaman niya. I just can't. Because I know. No one can replace him.

Tsaka di hamak na mas gwapo naman si ano...

"Hey.. so, did your meeting went well?" agad na tanong nito pagkaupo. He sipped his coffee while looking at me intently.

I nodded at him. "I should thank you for this. You always recommend my shop to someone and it's really a big help to me. Nakakahiya na nga kasi ang dami na naitulong mo sa'kin." tumawa naman ito habang umiiling-iling.

"Don't be, raffy. At wala ni isang mga binigay ko sa'yong costumer ang nagreklamo. Because they are very satisfied in your service. You should credit your self not me." napangiti naman ako.

Isa rin 'to sa dahilan kung bakit hindi ko siya iniiwasan kahit na nagconfessed siya sa'kin. Napakabait niyang tao at napakamatulungin.

Kahit na may nararamdaman siya sa 'kin. He still treat me as what he treat the others. Walang special treatment gano'n. At 'yon ang gusto ko. Kung ano ang pinapakita niya sa 'kin gano'n din sa iba. Pantay-pantay kumbaga.

I remember when I first met him. I somehow got lost while going back home. I was scared that time because I have no one besides me. I can't call my brother because I forgot to bring my cellphone.

Then I bumped into him. I got freak out but he calm me. Tinulungan niya akong makauwi. And that's how our friendship started. We also got clicked as a friend because his a half filipino.

"Anyway, how's baby silas?" my mood got more lighten when I heard my baby's name.

"He's perfectly fine. You should visit him nathan. Im sure, he missed you." mas lalong lumawak ang ngiti nito.

Close rin kasi sila ni silas. Though, hindi gano'n ka close kagaya naming mag ina. Kasi nagsusungit pa rin si baby sakanya. Buti na lang hindi nagagalit si nathan. I tried to talk to silas pero sadyang may pagkamatigas rin ang ulo ng bata.

"I missed my buddy too... I'll visit him very soon. I last saw him... I guess two weeks ago? My works are really eating my time." he donely said and straightly drink his coffee.

"Im sure my baby understand that. Oo nga pala. My brother and cousin's wedding will be on the next month. Kuya said you should go too." his brows furrowed.

"Too? You mean... you're going too?" i jubilantly nodded.

"Yep! Baby and I will come. Though, kuya's still undecided. I know that he'll let us come to his wedding."

"You seem so confident that he will let you go back to the Philippines, huh." I straighten my back and raise my jaw up.

"Gan'to ako kaconfident nathan." sabi ko habang naka chin up pa rin. Tumawa naman ito habang pumapalak kaya napapatingin na sa 'min ang ibang costumer.

"Wag ka ngang tumawa d'yan. So ano? You'll come ba?" he stop laughing and faced me seriously.

"I'll try to clear my schedule para makapunta ako. Ofcourse I can't missed my friends wedding, right." i nodded.

"You should clear your schedule nathan. Tsaka don't you miss Philippines ba?" he give me his lethal smirk.

"Yeah... I missed the hot weather there." Pareho naman kaming natawa.

Matagal pa kaming nagkwentuhan do'n at naka dalawa pa kaming kape bago umalis doon. Gusto pa sana akong ihatid ni nathan pero agad akong tumangi. May kotse namn ako ba't pa 'ko magpapahatid?
