Draw my Asset (Squad Series 05)

Chapter 4- Lost with the new friend

He looked around, and his eyes were amused. Nagulat siguro dahil hindi na kalbo ang flower shop namin. A ghost smile formed at my lips.

"New job?" I asked him and went closer at him dahil masiyado kaming malayo. Parang may kung ano mang virus sa 'min.

Umiling siya at inilagay ang mga kamay sa bulsa ng pants niya.

"For a friend? Cause she did great." He shrugged, again.

I slowly nod my head. She?! So babae ang bibigyan niya ng bulaklak?!

"What's she like?" I asked him to describe, para naman alam ko kung anong bulaklak ang pwedeng ibigay niya.

"Funny." Sabi niya, funny rin naman ako.

"Bubbly, cheerful, friendly, simple, pretty..." sabi niya pa at nag isip muli ano ang sasabihin.

Confirm. Hindi niya jowa, dahil nahihirapan niyang isipin.

"For a close friend?" He shook his head, and I finally knows what flower. Nag pa habol pa siya na mahilig raw sa pink at yellow ang babae.

I customize flower for him. It was a boquet of pinks, light yellow daisies and yellow four yellow roses.

"You're good." He told me as soon as I handed him the bouquet of flower.

Dalawang salita lang naman 'yun pero kilig na kilig pwet ko dito!

"Thank you" mahinhing sabi ko.

I received his exact payment. "What's the meaning of this flowers?" He asked me before him, leaving.

"Daisies are for friendship. Kasi diba sabi mo para naman sa friend mo?" Sabi ko at diniin ko pa talaga yung word na friend

He slowly nod his head and looked at me, wanting me to say more. Was he that interest with the meaning of flowers?! Tanging siya lang ang naging customer ko na nag tatanong ano meaning at gusto pa makarinig ng marami!

"Ano siya, daisies are to express congratulatory to your drearest friend. Kahit anong achievement pa 'yan. Either small or big. Winning a lotter or winning a competition. Then yellow roses kasi diba sabi mo cheerful siya? Yellow roses symobolizes for luck and cheerful." I gave him a sincere smile.

Thinking of him, making an effort. Grabe hulog na hulog na ako sakaniya?! Sobrang swerte naman ng kanigan niya, dumayo pa sa flowershop namin at bumili ng bulaklak.

"Thanks." Maikling sabi niya at akmang aalis na siya nang tawagin ko siya sa pangalan niya. Hindi ko naman kasi kasalanan na alam ko ang pangalan niya.

"Yeah?" He lazily turned his head. As I slowly point the flower where his money fell.

"Oh. Thanks, again." Sabi niya at pinulot ang isang libo! Ganoon nalang ba 'yun?! Paano kung hindi ako ang nakakita? Wala ba siyang paki alam sa pera?!

Mas lalong dumigkit ang mga kilay ko nang makasalubong ni Shenia si James sa labas! Tinignan pa niya ang lalaki at tumingin sa 'kin sa glass door!

"Puro ka nalang bigay mg bigay sakaniya ng bulaklak. E kung yung bulaklak mo nalang ang ibigay mo?" Halos maging tomato ako sa sinabi ni Shenia.

She and her big mouth.

"Shenia!" Pag suway ko sakaniya, pero tinawanan lang niya ako at inilapag ang bag niya sa counter.

"Yung bibig mo, kailangan ko ng holy water." Mataray na sabi ko sakaniya at umupo sa tabi niya.

"Bakit pala ang aga mo? Tapos na ba ang uaap?" Pagtatanong ko sakaniya.
