The heck! Anong ginagawa ng lalaki na yon sa mall. Well sabagay mall pala yun pwede kahit sino.
Last line was a cocktail? Hmm I think I know that. I grab my phone again and search a bar named with GG B.
Voilà! Tamang tama pupunta kami mamayang BGC. Pupuntahan ko ang bar na yon.
'But when is that "Last" pwedeng last year or last month.'
Maybe I'll try to ask Aya later about something.
I typed my reply to Boss when the email was deleted. It seems that 20 minutes is up.
Nilukot ko ang papel na pinagsulatan ko saka sumandal sa sofa.
'Finally. Unti unti nang nalalapit ang pagkikita natin'
I clenched my fist. My blood was boiling thinking about that guy again. Sumadal ako sa sofa at nagpaagos sa iniisip.
"Bye, Mom! See you after class" I kissed her on her cheeks bago sumunod kay kuya. I grabbed my bag at lumbas ng bahay.
"Bilis. Malelate na ako sa trabaho" singhal ni kuya sakin.
Madali naman akong pumasok sa sasakyan at nagseatbelt.
"Baka di kita masundo mamaya. Madami akong tatapusin na papers" sabi nya.
"Ok lang kaya ko namang magcommute." Taimtim kong sabi.
I looked outside as kuya drove the car. May napansin akong sasakyan few blocks from our house. Hindi ko maaninag kung sino ang nakasakay dahil tinted ang kotse.
"Erina!" naalis ang tingin ko sa kotse na yun nang tawagin ako ni kuya.
"Oh?" inis na sabi ko dito.
"I said how's your studies?" nangunot ng nuo neto bago ko saglit na binalingan ng tingin.
"It's fine! Next month we'll be having a cooking competition and gusto ko sanang magparticipate." Ngumiti ako sakanya.
"You should join and I know mananalo ka dun. You're so passionate and you love cooking. I'm proud of you" malambing netong sabi.
Napangiti naman ako sa sinabi ni kuya. At first ayaw nilang mag culinary ako dahil we have a construction firm gusto nilang Engineering ang kunin ko kagaya ni kuya. But I know that my heart was already taken. I really love cooking. At buti na lang natanggap din nila and now I'm on my last year of studying and I want to take my Masterals abroad.
"You know kuya, gusto kong magtayo ng restaurant pero di ko alam kung kaya kong patakbuhin yun wala pa naman akong alam sa business" nakalabi kong sabi sakanya.
He chuckled. "You can do what you want. Alam mo namang nandito lang kami at tutulungan kita." Mabilis nitong ginulo ang buhok ko.
"Geez, I know. Thank you kuya!" I winked at him and giggle.
Our conversation goes on before we know nasa harap na pala kami ng school.
I kissed his cheeks and bid goodbye bago lumabas ng sasakyan.
Pagkadating ko sa room, I briefly greet my classmates before settling down.
Madaling lumipas ang mga oras at natapos na din ang klase.
My phone rang. I fished my phone out and answered the call.
"Hey, Baby! Are you done with your class?" my mom sweetly asked me.
