He doesn't know what to feel nang makitang akap ni Elaine si Cole. Kilala nya si Cole. Magkatrabaho sila sa pinapasukang hospital dati. Pedia sya at cardiologist ito. He remembered him but they were not close dahil iba ang kanilang specialization. Ito rin ang rason kung bakit halos hindi nya nakisalamuha ang lalaki thoug they were descreet to each other. Tamang tango lang tuwing magsasalubong sila.
Kitang kita nya kung panu ngumiti si Elaine habang lumalabas ito sa kotse and when she hugged him? Shit! Gusto nyang hilahin ang babae pabalik sa loob nang kanyang bahay. By the way he sees it, no one can deny na close ang dalawa and it made him somehow feel angry. What the hell? Why is he feeling that way. Ang ipinagtataka nya sa sarili ay nang umalis ang dalawa ,dali-dali nya itong sinundan. Again not knowing why he had the urge to do it but before he can even think of some rationale answer why he did it nandoon na sya sa tapat nang shop kng saan pumunta ang dalawa. He snickered ' early morning date .. tssss' nayayamot sya sa kadahilang hindi nya malaman.
Nakita nya kung panu lumapit si Cole Kay Elaine. Too close. Close to the point of kissing. Gusto nyang suntukin ang lalaki and when they hugged? He can feel his blood boiling. Out of his frustrations . Sinuntok nya ang pader nang isang shop beside him. Damn! it felt somehow good. Kahit papano nahalinhinan nang sakit nang kanyang kamao ang irritation na naramdaman.
After a while Elaine noticed him. Bago pa ito makalapit ay umalis na sya . Puno parin nang iritasyon ang nararamdaman para sa babae. Anu ba ang plano nito at kailangan pa nitong pumasok sa buhay nya? Mukha namang kanyang kaya itong alagaan nang nobyo. Boyfriend , when he thought about the word nainis ulit sya. He walked out from the scene but did not actually know where to go. Bahala na. One thing is for sure, ayaw nya munang makita si Elaine at umuwi sa bahay.
NASAAN na kaya ang mokong na yun? Elaine can't keep herself from worrying gabi na pero hindi parin nakakauwi so Franciso. Baka mapanu iyon. Minsan pa naman parang lutang iyon pag naglalakad. 8:00 na nang gabi pero wala padin ito. Bagot na bagot na sya sa bahay. Ni wala lang man radyo o di kaya tv. Hayyyy... May bahay pa palang walang TV. Sa sobrang bagot ay nalinis nya na ang buong bahay. Pati nga inidoro ay nakuskus nya pero hindi parin umuuwi ang amo nya.
Gutom na sya. Kanina pa sya nakapagluto pero hindi pa sya kumakain. Hinintay nya kasi si Isko para sabay na sila. Tinignan nya ang pagkain sa mesa at nag umpisang kumain. Pag nalaman ni Cole na nalipasan ako nang gutom. Sigurado lagot na naman ako. Speaking of Cole. Kamusta kaya ang date nito. 8:00 pm na sigurado magkausap na ang dalawa. Tatawagan ko ba si Cole para kamustahin ang date nito? Hindi na lang siguro baka makaistorbo ako sa kanila.
She's in the middle of contemplating when the door bell rang. Thank goodness umuwi na ang damuho! She opened the door and saw the man she was not expecting to come. Mukhang problemado ito.
"ARE you okay Cole?" Tanong sa kanya ni Cathrine. They are currently dining on a seaside restaurant. Dapat nga sana ay masaya sya ngayon kasi minsan lang ito kung magpaunlak nang dinner sa kanya but why the heck he feels bad, angry and annoyed. Mula pa kanina nang makita nya si Elaine with Francisco ay hindi na sya mapakali.
"Hey" untag ulit nito sa kanya. " Tinatanong kita kung okay ka lang but I can assume your not . Tell me what's bothering you?"
"It's about Elaine" sagot nya dito.
" Oh yeah? What about her? what happened?" the way she said those words , parang curious ito kung ano ang nangyari kay Elaine.
" She's living with a man now. No I mean working for a man" Mataman itong nakinig sa kanya. Naiinis sya dito. Para kasing natutuwa ito sa nangyayari. Can't she tell his having a bad mood because of it?
" Yeah? So what now? Is she enjyong it? I know Elaine, she's trying to live her life, maybe she finds it thrilling to do so" Naamuse na tanong nito sa kanya, which pissed him more.
"Oh yeah? kung nag eenjoy sya do you think mag eenjoy din ako? I am a man Cathrine. A lot can happen and it's making me worry about her more" Inis nyang sabat dito.
She just shrugged and smirked. Parang binabasa ang kanyang expression " You know what your just jealous" Dugtong nito.
"What?! What do you mean I am jealous? Concern lang ako sa kanya and being concern is different from being jealous"
"Oh please Cole stop fooling your self. Alam mo ba ang rason kung bakit hindi parin kita sinasagot? It's not that I don't like you. Sino ba ang hindi magkakagusto sa iyo e ang gwapo gwapo mu matalino pa? But I can feel and sense na importante si Elaine sa iyo not in a brotherly manner but on how a man should feel towards a woman. Maybe in denial kapa but I advice that you try to open your mind and you will see what I am seeing"
"That's impossible" Hindi sya makapaniwala sa sinabi nito. How can that be possible? Sya pa ang hindi nakakaalam nang nararamdaman?
"You can deny it all you want, but don't regret it later when you realize" Tumayo ito sa mesa at lumapit sa kanya " I have to go but if you need someone to talk to I am here for you.
Yun lang at umalis na ito.
Na iwan syang nakatunganga trying to take in all words she said.
Totoo ba mahal nya si Elaine? Kahit sya ay hindi sigurado.
