I'm 25 and I Want A Baby

Chapter 4 :

We're going down to 4th floor.

Hindi ako mapakali, I feel like anytime he will come with police and he will charge me with rape.

" Do you want to eat first? " my tension broke when Dior speaks.

I know he's wondering about my behaviour. Kanina pa ako aligaga na parang natatae.

" Perhaps a tea would do while we're roaming around the floor. " I said trying to calm the situation.

Nilabas niya ang phone niya at may tinawagan. He's asking to bring a tea and biscuits. I think it's his secretary.

Lumabas kami sa elavator at nakarating sa pagtatayuan ng restaurant.

I tried hard to focus and not think about that guy.

I'm very positive that he didn't recognize me. I'm sure, because if he does, i know for sure that he won't act like " we met before or you're that girl! " a while ago.

Tumingin ako sa paligid. It's a very huge space, good enough to build a restaurant here.

Naglakad ako at nilibot ang lugar, nilabas ko ang phone ko at kinuhanan ng litrato ang bawat corner.

" Do you like it? " Dior was tailing me in silence the whole time I am taking photos.

" Enough space for everything that I need to install. " I answered plainly.

Biglang may tumawag sa phone niya and he answered it right away.

" Yes? Can he wait for 10 mins... I know... Okay... I'll come up right away... " he said.

Hinarap ko siya. Mukha siyang nagdadalawang isip na iwan akong mag-isa. " You can leave, don't worry, I just have to explore the back to see how will the kitchen will look like. " napatingin lang siya sa akin at napa tungo. But he's not moving.

" The call seems so urgent. Go now. " pagtataboy kopa.

" Babalik ako agad " he said and turned his back.

Napangisi ako. I know Dior is a good person. Pero hinding hindi mawawala sa isip ko ang nakita ko 6 years ago.

Enough with this drama.

Nilibot ko agad ang likod. Where I plan to build the kitchen.

Bigla na lang akong napahinto at napatingin sa baba. There were kids playing joyfully down the street. Napaisip ako bigla. What if I put some twist in this restaurant.

A restaurant that is a kid friendly.

Nakarinig ako ng mga yapak na paparating, but i didn't remove my gaze to the kids that are playing.

Ang bilis naman bumalik ni Dior. Did he really come up to see that urgent thing? Tsh. As if I would embrace him back into my arms if he keep on tailing me until this project finish.

When I felt his presence beside me, nagsalita ako agad. I didn't bother to look at him.

" Do you think it's a good idea to place a little playground in the corner? So it would also beneficial to the family with little kids, while the parents are eating, the kids are also enjoying themselves playing. " I suggested. Hindi siya sumagot agad.

" Like Mcdonald's? I believe it's not a fast food chain that we are building here but a five star restaurant. "

That's not the voice of Dior.

Dahan dahan kong tinitigan ang nag mamay ari ng boses.

He's staring at me. Smiling at me. And he shows me his hand like he's trying to give me a hand shake.
