Fearless Love

Capítulo Tres

Two weeks had pass and today is another day na magme-meeting kami ni Raphael dahil napagpasyahan na ng board na i-pursue ang kaso. Saturday ngayon kaya naman ay maluwag ang schedule ko but later in the afternoon ay magkikitang muli kami.

"What should I wear kaya mamaya?" tanong ko kay Ivy na kasama ko rito sa maliit kong walk-in closet.

"Woah. Kung makapagisip ka naman ng dadamitin parang date niyo ah," mapanuyang saad niya kaya inirapan ko na lang siya.

Kahit kailan talaga!

"Of course, I need to dress well."

"Sabihin mo nagpapaganda ka lang para kay Mr. Lawyer pogi."

"Well, part na rin naman 'yon," I said while I scan again my clothes.

I looked at her while I shot my brow up. "Will you help me or not?"

"Of course, I'll help you, Maja Victorina," aniya at nagsimula na ring mag-scan sa clothes ko.

"Stop calling me with that ancient name!" saway ko sa kanya pero tumawa lang siya.

I wonder kung paano ko natitiisan ang babaeng ito.

"How about this one?" tanong niya sa akin habang pinapakita ang isang plain white dress.

"So simple," komento ko kaya ibinalik niya ang dress ko and she continues on scanning again.

"Wait lang nga Mavic, what look ba ang gusto mong ma-achieve mamaya? Fierce? Formal? Innocent?" she asks while looking at me and waiting for my answer.

"Ivy, no sé." Umiling ako. "Basta I like it not to be too simplistic but not too over the top as well."

(Ivy, I don't know.)

"What about wearing a black dress? Black never fails." She shrugs her shoulders.

I frowned at her. "Ganoon na 'yong suot ko ng first meeting namin eh."

"I doubt na maalala niya pa 'yon," she even managed to whisper it to herself.

As if naman hindi ko narinig. Hindi ko na lang pinansin at nagpatuloy sa paghahanap. It will only cost some of my time if I start bickering with my friend again.

"I found the perfect dress," I said as I showed him a red one.

"Oh that's a good one." She smiled and giving me a thumbs up.

After choosing the right dress ay kumain muna kami ni Ivy nang niluto kong chicken afritada.

"You're improving na sa cooking skills mo, girl. Pwede nang pagtyagaan," komento niya matapos nguyain ang food sa mouth niya.

"Oh geez, thank you," I said sarcastically.

"Hoy, that's a compliment kaya." She paused. "But seriously how handsome is this CPA lawyer?" she asked while grinning.

"Well, very handsome, I guess," I replied while smiling.

Pinalo niya ang kamay ko kaya agad naman akong napadaing. "Ang landi mo!"

"No, I'm not," I said while shaking my head in disapproval.

"Yes, you are, Maja Victorina," aniya at nakuha pang tumawa nang pagkalakas-lakas.

My glares at her doesn't even stop her from laughing.

Then after eating ay agad ko naman inayusan ang sarili. I only opted na natural makeup lang ang ilagay ko sa mukha just like what I normally do. Inayos ko na rin ang buhok ko na may natural waves. I even managed to spritz my favorite Chanel N'5 Eau de Parfum.
