Chapter 3
"Learned"

I just said my thank you to Chad and left in a hurry. Medyo wala pa ako sa sarili ko. Pagsakay sa elevator ay pinaypayan ang sarili gamit ang kamay dahil sa hindi maipaliwanag na init. I touched my face and I realized it’s boiling. Napailing na lang ako at kinalma ang sarili.

When I get to the parking, I drive my sedan off to Gaelle’s place. Napagpasyahan kong doon na matulog. Of course, after that I still have to wait. I can’t be too obvious with my motive. Pagpasok ko ay nakahinga ako nang maluwag nang tahimik naman. No live show. I go straight to my room and rest my back on my bed.

Napangisi na lang ako. He is probably thinking of me by now. Slowly. I will crawl slowly into your system Illion. Like a drug your mind and heart will seek for me. I mentally laugh evilly in my head.

Nagulat si Gaelle nang madatnan ako sa kitchen. It’s already eight in the evening. Kasalukuyan akong kumakain ng instant food. Sadly, Gaelle and I are no good with cooking. Antonia got it all.

“Oh, nandito ka pala?” He sat lazily on the adjacent chair.

“Obviously.”

Umismid siya. “Any progress with your prospect?”

“Just wait and see Gaelle.” I said smugly.

She shook her head and grab my fork. Inagaw na din niya ang bowl na may lamang noodles. Uminom na lang ako ng gatas.

I think I miss my bad that it didn’t take long when I doze to sleep. Bago ako nakatulog narinig ko pa ang pagdating ni Brynt. Good thing I wasn’t able to here the end of it. Paggising ko ay magisa na lang si Gaelle, eating in the kitchen with newly baked pancakes and waffles. May bacon and sunny side up din. Surely, Brynt cooked. He is a blessing. Sometimes I get tired of process food and take outs but when you got not choice you have to suck it up.

Gaelle and I was left alone. Nanatili naman ako sa kwarto ko. I am busy updating my portfolio and compiling my requirements. Oh, I am so going to apply in EL. Stock Holdings. Actually I just want to set an interview and not really aim to bag a job. But if I get hired, so why not? It’s for my next move.

Bumalik ako sa condo ni Rovie nang Thursday. I am pretty excited for my interview this Monday. For the meantime I am going to attend a social party. It was a party hosted by the Montalba. An engagement party. Good thing I visited the salon and spa.

I scan through my temporary closet and realized I have no appropriate dress and shoes for the event. Tinatamad din akong lumabas, so to answer my dilemma I called some help. May mga kaibigan akong designers so that’s not really a big deal. I can easily pull out dresses.

“What can I do for the next first daughter of the Philippines?” Si Abel, he is a local designer. Her creations are mostly worn big elite families and celebrities.

“I need a dress and shoes.”

“I realized that.”
“Have you heard of Montalba’s engagement party? I am going to attend.”

“I see… It’s tonight. Bakit hindi ka nagsabi agad?”

“I just decided now… Can you send me something to wear?”

I heard his boisterous laugh. “Sure. Sure. Expect after an hour.”

“Thanks!... For the payment, can I just fix your electrical problems.”

He gave out another round of laughter. I can even imagine him shaking his head. I grinned.

“Sure. Sure.”
