Chapter 17
Magi-isang linggo na simula ng mangyari ang insedente nila ni Irene sa parking lot at hindi pa sila nakakapagkita. Kinakabahan siya sa kung ano na namang plano ng kapatid niya.
Unti-unti nang nakikilala ang botique niya at dumaragsa ang mga clients nila. Masasabi niyang isa sa mga bagay na nakapagpapasaya sa kanya ang shop niya.
At unti-unti ring nagkakalapitan na sila ng loob ng kanyang asawa. He never missed to call at text her, even if he's in the meeting. Kagaya ngayon na kausap ang asawa sa telepono.
"How's your day wife?" maamong tanong ng kanyang asawa na lihim niyang ikinangiti.
"Ayos lang. Marami pa ring clients na nagpapareserve." nakangiti niyang sagot.
Kasalukuyan siyang nasa office niya at chine-check up ang pinagawang damit sa kanya ng mama ni Kaiser para sa kanilang silver anniversary.
"Don't skip your meal. It's almost lunch time. Ok?" paalala ni Kaiser.
"Hmm.. I will." marahan siyang umupo saka inilipat ang cellphone sa kabilang tainga.
"Still there wife?"
"uhh.. Would you mind if.." a silent paused.
"If? What is it wife? Is anything wrong?"
"Hindi! Ayos lang ako dito. I just.. Just wanted to ask if y-you could join me for a lunch today?" saka niya pinikit ang mata saka humiling na sana hindi tumanggi ang asawa.
"I'll be there wife. Why so sudden? Did you miss me already?" may pilyong tanong ng asawa.
Her cheeks heated up at the thought na nakangiti ngaun ang asawa niya habang inaasar siya.
"Why? Is it wrong to invite you?"
"I'm just kidding wife. Wait me up ok?"
She suddenly remember about his work and regret inviting him over just for a mere lunch.
"Ok lang ba na lumabas ka sandali? Baka maabala pa kita?"
"I'm the king here wife. And if my queen command me, I shall oblige."
And with that she instantly smile.
"Ok if that's what you say. I'll just arrange some of my stuff here then I'll wait for you at the parking lot."
"Wife?"
"Hmm? Bakit?"
"I miss you. Wait for me." saka nito binaba ang tawag.
Didn't even wait for me to say "I miss you too".
Inayos niya ang mga nakakalat na gamit sa mesa saka kinuha ang bag at pumunta sa office ni Alex.
"Hey beautiful." nakangiting tawag niya sa kaibigan na abala sa pagaayos ng mga documents na nakalapag sa table nito.
"What's with the smile? Are you meeting up with your husband?"
"Wow. How did you know?" mangha niyang tanong saka umupo sa sofa.
"You're easy to read Mich. And only Kaiser can make you blush like that.
And because of what her friend told her. She anxiously touched her cheeks.
Napahalakhak na lang ang kaibigan saka umupo sa tapat nito.
"So.. Lunch date, isn't it?"
"Yup. I invited him. I suddenly want to eat shrimp."
Mabilis nabitawan ng kaibigan ang hawak na mga papel saka umupo sa tabi nito at hinawakan ang dalawang kamay na ikinagulat niya.
