“Mr. Mondragon she's here.”
I fix myself before I decided to turn around. I froze from what I am doing when I heard that familiar voice again.
“I really have to go,” I rapidly turn around as she also did.
“Miss Ma—” Miss Natasha calls.
“Wait, is that....” Martina?
It almost took a minute before she turns around.
“Hi,” she finally looks at me.
Martina's POV
Naman! Dito pa talaga? At hanggang sa business ba naman makakasama ko siya? Tingnan niyo! 'Yung ngiti noong gago, nakakaloko! Nilalayuan na nga, lalo namang nilalapit ng tadhana. Huy, tadhana ka riyan! coincidence lang 'yan. Eh?
“Babe!” 'Yan na nga ba ang sinasabi ko eh. Shh, shut up, alter-ego.
Agad na napatingin si Mrs. Granada at tila nagtatanong. Jusko, 'wag ka lang talaga magsasabi ng kung ano-ano sa harap ni Mrs. Granada ah! Papatayin talaga kita!
Naglakad siya papalapit sa akin at hinawakan ang kamay ko.
“You made me worry. I woke up and you are already gone. Including all your stuffs,” he hugs me tight.
Jusmiyo, 'yung tingin ni Mrs. Granada....
“Ah, I guess, I don't have to guide you through this, Martina,” Mrs. Granada looks at me, “And I don't have to introduce you towards each other. You seem to know it, very well.”
Inakbayan niya ako, “Yes, Miss Natasha. She's my girlfriend.” What?!
“No, I'm not!” I convince Mrs. Granada.
“Yes, you are,” his head goes down to kiss the tip of my nose.
“My god, mumsh! Kailan pa?” Cara shouted in shock.
Why are they here?!
“Huh? No — Matthew! Bawiin mo ang sinabi mo!” I pushed him.
God! Of all people to discover and find out... sila pa talaga?
“Why would I? We're together for over two months,” I bit my lip in anger, giving him glares, having an eye-to-eye contact.
Silence stands out for a while.
“If you'll excuse me. I might have to appoint some guests,” Mrs. Granada break the ice and left.
“So, Miss Natasha is now Mrs. Granada?” He said.
“Don't change the topic, Matt! Explain to my gang!” Turo ko sa mga kaibigan ko.
“Oh, hi!” Kaway niya sa kanila. Bago niya ulit ako akbayan. “I'm Matthew Mondragon. Franco Mondragon's only son. My father and Mr. Fortalejo are best friends since mid school. Also, a business partners.”
“Hi,” sabay na sabi ni Iris at Cara.
“Sabi ko mag-explain ka, hindi magpakilala,” I rolled my eyes.
“They like me,” bulong niya sa akin.
“They don't,” I said, firmly.
“I knew it!” Nagulat ako nang biglang nagsalita si Diane na kanina pa tahimik.
“What are you doing here? I thought you'll have lunch?” I asked them ignoring Diane.
“Mamaya ka sa akin, Martina,” she glared at me.
“We came here to tell you that we'll just wait for you and then... this,” Iris said, dumbfounded.
I sighed before I took a chair and sit.
