My Jealous Partner

Chapter 20

I hardly swallowed the food im eating. First time yatang hindi ako matutunawan dahil sa mga nangyayari. Here I am having lunch with the family of the man I love and his girlfriend. Nakaupo ako sa harap ni Robbie while he's sitting next to her girlfriend. Ang saklap palang isipin na unti unti ka ng nagigising mula sa isang magandang panaginip.

"How are you ijah?" tanong ni Tita Rhian kay Elise.

"Im good Tita." She sweetly said and smile.

How can I compete with this girl?! She's definitely perfect, every man is dream to have her.

"So where did you spend your vacation?" tanong ulit sakanya ni Tita.

"Sa house lang po, nasa business trip po kasi yung parents ko." Elise.

"By the way ijah, youre a Jalbuena right? The owner of JCG Tradings." Tito Jake asked.

"Yes Tito."

Oo nga pala, known ang family niya when it comes to business.

"Diba Vince we used to have clients from JCG?" Mom asked Dad.

"Yes, your father is a great man ijah." Dad.

Teka para yatang Out of Place ako dito ah. Psh!

"Thank you for the compliments po." Elise said.

"Uhmm tapos na po ako." I said at tumayo na.

Napatingin naman silang lahat sa akin except Robbie

I want to get out of this place!

"Are you sure sweetie, ang liit lang ng kinain mo ah." Tita Rhian said.

"Busog na po ako Tita thank you po sa lunch. Mom labas lang po ako." I said.

Tumango naman sila then I left the house.

Naiisipan kong pumunta na lang sa Village Park. I sat in a bench habang pinagmamasdan ang mga naglalarong mga bata. I remembered the time nung mga bata pa lang kami ni Robbie. We always play in the park rain or shine. Everything was perfect that time, yun bang wala kaming iniintindi kung hindi ang magsaya. Kung pwede lang sanang mangyari ulit yun.

"Lalim iniisip natin jan ah."

Napalingon ako sa nagsalita.

"Anong problema Baby?" Ate Jazz asked and sit beside me.

"Bakit po kayo umalis dun? Baka po hinahanap na kayo ni Kuya Clade."

"Hayaan mo yun, teka iniiba mo naman ang topic eh"

I sighed.

"Alam mo Baby kahit gaano kasweet at kabait yung Elise hindi ko siya bot okay Robbie." She blurted.

"bakit naman po?" I asked.

"Eh may iba akong gusto para kay Robbie eh, yung cool, easy to hang with at adventurous."

"Pero mahal siya ni Robbie." Mahina kong sabi at tumingin sa malayo.

"Baby can I ask you something?"

"Ano po yun???"

"May gusto ka ba kay Robbie?"

O_______________O

"P-po?!"

"Naku baby girl wag mong subukang ideny sakin kasi pipigain kita." Mariin niyang sabi.

"B-bakit niyo naman po natanong?" I utter.

"Hmm, wala. Napapansin ko lang kasi sa Boracay." She said.

I deeply sighed.

"So gusto mo nga siya?" she asked again.

"Ewan ko Ate, di ko naman to nararamdaman noon eh bigla na lang sumusulpot tapos wrong timing pa." I said.

"Bakit hindi mo pinaglaban? I mean baka naman kasi...alam mo na... may chance."

"Mahal niya si Elise ate besides ano naman ang panama ko dun. She's pretty, sweet and caring. She is perfect, eh ako."

"Baby Alex, lahat naman tayo may kanya kanyang characteristics eh and its up to you on how you use it. Maganda ka naman, talented, mabait."

"Hindi ko alam ate, kasi pag nandyan si Robbie parang bumababa yung confidence ko parang hindi ko siya maabot kahit na gaano kami ka close."

Humarap ako sakanya.

Ate maging honest ka nga sakin. Ano po bang problema sa akin?" I asked.

"Hmmm, wala naman masyado... except... the way you dress and the way you fix yourself para kasing high school eh medyo immature." She said.

I sighed again.

"But... we can fix that." She added.

"Paano po?"

"Akong bahala, tignan ko lang kung hindi magkandarapa sayo lahat ng lalaki." She said.
