Only Series 1 : One Night Only

Chapter 14 - Him

Chapter 14

"So?" Maya ay tanong ni Ashton na naka-cross ang mga braso sa tapat ng dibdib nito, impatient, waiting for an answer.

Kaharap niya ang boyfriend ng kapatid niya. Narito sila sa isang coffee shop kasama si Aimee. She was silent during their conversation. Ayaw sana nitong narito at nakikinig ang kapatid ngunit nagpumilit na sumama. Natatakot umanong may gawin siya sa lalaki.

Malilintikan talaga ito kung sakaling Hindi tugma sa kagustuhan niya ang magiging desisyon ng lalaki. He could hire some serial killers to bury him six feet below the ground without his name being attached to his death.

"Nasabihan ko na ang mga magulang ko kuya Ash. At sa Saturday, pormal kaming kakausap sa inyo."

Fritz, my sister's boyfriend is two years older than Aimee. Both are in college in the same university kaya Alam niyang tumatakas takes ang dalawa kaya nabuo itong dinadala ng kapatid.

He silently approved but not give them any hint of approval nor disappointment.

He knew he's responsible kaya siguro naging tiwala siya, Hindi niya lang naisip na mapapaaga siyang magkaka-pamangkin.

While conversing with them, marami ng naiisip si Ashton para makaharap muli ang coordinator na si Ria. Scenarios played nonstop on his mind on how he would approach her, talk to her and stay with her for quite some time. Hindi niya namalayang nakangiti na pala siya na parang timang sa harap ng dalawa.

"Kuya? Okay ka lang?" nag-aalalang tanong ni Aimee.

"Ha? Ah yeah!" Nag-iwas ito ng tingin sa dalawa dahil sa naiisip.

"We'll just set the time kuya and tell Mom and Dad. Thank you Kuya and sorry again that I disappoint you." malungkot na sabi ng kapatid niya kaya naman itinapon na muna sa tabi ng isip nito ang tungkol sa coordinator.

"I can't say everything will be okay, but I won't let my pamangkin born without you getting married. So, whether you like it or not, that's going to be my agenda on the talk." habilin niya sa dalawa, half truth with concern, half with hidden agenda.

The talk will be on saturday, that's  three day from now. He can't wait to see Ria and talk to her.

She could be married but it doesn't matter. He just want her to know her more.

Why did she change? Or that night was her change?
