Bestfriends with Promises II [COMPLETED]

Chapter 3: Memories of the Past

"I know and I'm sorry for that. Naguguilty nga ko sa ginawa ko e."

"It's fine. Atleast, you're already here." said Gab

"What made you come back? Oh, don't get me wrong. Wala ka kasi paramdam nung umalis ka, then one day, Bie came back with the news of you coming back." - Claire

"Ahh. I just got some job to work here."

"So you're staying here for good?" - Gabby

"Uhm, no? Pag-katapos kasi ng trabaho ko, aalis kaagad ako."

Nakita kong nag-tinginan ang dalawa. Kilala ko 'to mga 'to. Mata pa lang, marunong silang mag-usap. I wonder what is it.

"Is there something wrong?" I asked

"Ah, wala naman. May naalala lang ako." sabi ni Claire

"Anyways. Except doing your job here, may iba ka pa bang plano?" Gabby asked.

"To be honest, gaya nga ng narinig mo kanina, ayoko talagang bumalik dito. My sole reason of coming back is the job that has been given to me. Yun lang talaga."

Claire pouted as she talk, "So meaning to say, after nun, aalis ka ulit?"

"Appartently yes. Gusto ko nga, matapos ko kaagad kung ano man yung tatrabahuhin ko nang maka-alis kaagad ako."

"Why don't you want to stay here?" - Gabby

"Hindi ko rin alam. I just want to go after all of this."

Mag-sasalita pa sana si Claire nang dumating na ang mga order namin. During the meal, hindi na nila ulit in-open up ang topic tungkol sa pag-balik at pag-alis ko. Instead, I diverted the topic to the both of them.

"Ilang years na rin pala kayong mag-kasama. Can I expect some wedding bells ringing?"

"It's not yet on the plan. Also, were just starting on what we've been doing." Gabby said.

"At saka, sinabi ko rin kay Bie na mga age 25 above ang marrying age ko. And also, I'm yet ready to leave Mom." - Claire

"Hindi mo naman siya totally iiwan e." sabi ko.

"Hindi nga pero halos ganun na rin ang mangyayari."

"Actually, we already bought a lot to build a house for the two of us." sabi ni Gab.

"Talaga? That's great."

"Kung sakali, yun ang unang property naming dalawa. Well, I don't want to call it this way but maybe our conjugal property?" sabi pa ni Claire

"Ganun na din 'yon. But wait, you're the owner of the boutique, right?"

"Oo. Actually, I'm just a simple designer at first. Designer ako sa isang maliit na couture sa Paris. But then, ayaw kasi ni Bie na umaalis ako na bansa e." - Claire

"Bakit naman? It's a good opportunity."

"Pero hindi ata tama na nandun kaagad siya matapos ng graduation ng college. I just hate it." - Gabby

"Tss. Grabe ka naman Gab!"

"In return, when he got their business stable and been a member of the board, pinatayuan niya 'ko ng boutique. That boutique is just new." she once again pouted, "Kahit na sa'kin naka-pangalan, I still feel in debt to him. Kaya, I'm trying so hard para maka-bawi kahit ayaw niya."

"Claire, kapag kinasal naman na kayo, ganun na rin 'yon."

"Kahit na. Pakiramdam ko tuloy, wala pa rin akong na-a-achieve dahil sa lalaking 'to."
