"How are you, Kimmy? Its been a while!"
Bumalik na kaagad ako sa trabaho dahil sabi sa 'kin ng Ob Gyne ko ay pwede na raw akong magtrabaho. Swerte lang din dahil bumalik si Mr. Chua dito at ti-nable ako.
"O-okay naman ako. Ikaw ba? Sobrang busy mo naman ata!" sabi ko kahit na-awkward na ako.
Ewan ko ba kung bakit pakiramdam ko ay na-awkward na ako sa mga guests ko pagkatapos kong malamang buntis ako. Nakakaguilty lang dahil pamangkin ni Mr. Chua ang ama ng batang dinadala ko, ngunit hindi niya alam.
"Yeah, sobrang busy ko nga! Kaya nga hindi na ako nakabalik dito dahil may bagong kompanya akong tinatayo," he said while his sipping his wine.
"Paano naman 'yong old mong company? Sino mag ma-manage noon?"
"Si Lucas, he will be the one to manage my old company. I'm sure he will do his best!"
Magiging busy si Lucas sa darating na ilang buwan dahil siya na ang mag ma-manage ng kompanya ni Mr. Chua. And for sure he will continue pursuing his wedding.
"Mabuti naman kung ganoon!" walang ganang sagot ko.
"Kimmy, I have something to tell you! Don't be mad, okay?" he said seriously kaya kinabahan ako.
"Yes. Ano 'yon?"
"Lucas is getting married next month. He had a fiance named Nicci. They're in relationship for 5 long years and they decided to get married soon. Uhmm, did he not told you about that?"
Parang piniga ang puso ko nang sampung beses. Limang taon pala sila ng fiance niya ngunit nakuha niya paring lokohin ito. They both decided to get married pero dahil sa 'kin ay malabong mangyari based on what Lucas said. Ayoko talagang makasira ng relasyon lalong-lalo na kung pareho nilang iningatan 'to. Alam ko ang pakiramdam nang maiwan at masaktan kaya ayokong maranasan iyon ng fiance niya.
Kung pwedeng lumayo, lalayo ako.
"Kimmy, are you listening?" nagtatakang tanong sa 'kin ni Mr. Chua nang mapansin niyang hindi na ako nakikinig sa kanya, "Did he not told about his wedding?" dugtong pa nito.
"H-hindi, e!" Hindi niya nabanggit ang bagay na 'yan," I smiled awkwardly. Naalalang huli na niyang sinabi sa 'kin noong nahuli ko na siya.
