Honest Goodbye [COMPLETED] #Wattys2020

Chapter 14

Chapter 14

Since that night, and that kiss happened, Mat's constantly fetching me from home and taking me to work.

Madalas din na may dala siyang bruger and fries kapag susunduin niya ako kaya sa sasakyan niya na lang ako madalas kumain.

Ilang beses ko pa lang siya nakasamang mag-almusal sa isang fast food chain or kahit saang kainan na pwedeng pag-almusalan, ini-spoil kasi niya ako every morning sa mga dala niyang pagkain.

He even told me that I should eat more because I look super sexy and he wants no one to see my sexy self but him only. He's really cheesy, I admit.

Nandito na ako ngayon sa construction site at pinapanood ko lang silang gawin ang trabaho nila. Engr. Santamonte is always late, pero okay lang 'yon, at least ginagawa pa rin niya ang trabaho niya. I even heard him last time when he was on his phone talking to someone that he's busy with his papers. Hindi ko alam kung anong papeles ang pinagtutuonan niya nang pansin ngayon, baka 'yon din ang dahilan kung bakit siya laging late at wala.

I don't have my car around because Mat is always fetching me and taking me home. Ilang araw ko na rin hindi nagagamit ang sasakyan ko. Buti na lang din at hindi muna ako bumili ng bagong sasakyan na sinuggest sa 'kin ni Dad, nakatipid pa ako.

I am now wearing a fitted brown long skirt na abot hanggang sa taas ng ankle ko, along with my fitted white tank top. I am also now wearing a brown heeled sandals. It's my mood for today, dahil nilulubos ko na ang no uniform policy na binigay sa amin ng company, I should still use my fashion sense.

I heard the sound of my phone, kinuha ko ito mula sa pouch na dala ko, and I saw Dine's name popped up.

From Dine:
Hi friends, let's go on a date.

She messaged our group chat, I saw Pola typing.

From Pola:
Sure, malapit na rin naman ang kasal ko, lulubusin ko na ang pagiging dalagang filipina ko.

I reacted a laughed icon with what she said. Malapit na kasi ang kasal niya, 2 days na lang. The dress I will be using is already ready and susuotin na lang talaga.

I replied,

From me:
Sure, what time?

I saw Lexi's name popped up on the screen.

From Lexi:
Okay, frennies! ;)

Sa aming lahat, si Lexi lang talaga ang gumagamit ng emoji. 'Pag nakita mong may emoji ang isang message, asahan mo na siya 'yon.

Inilagay ko na ang cellphone sa loob ng pouch ko.

Ang pinapatugtog naman nila kuya ngayon ay Beatles naman, iba-ibang mga banda sa araw-araw ang bet nila, kaya support ko na lang sila roon.

I saw Mat's Porsche stopped by. Ibinaba niya ang bintana ng sasakyan at kumaway sa'kin. He showed me a starbucks frappe and waved it.

Lumipat ako ng daan at pinuntahan siya, "Where are you going? Bakit dumaan ka pa rito at wow, may dala ka pang frappe." wika ko.

"I was just passing by and before I came here, I thought that maybe you're craving for something cold, so here," inabot niya sa akin ang frappe na dala niya at kaunting umusog sa labas ng bintana. "So yeah, I'll just get going." he said smilingly.

"Okay, ingat." I smiled and he said I should also take care. Tuluyan na siyang umalis at bumalik na ako sa kanina'y inuupuan ko.

Nakita ko rin sa group chat na alas-sais daw ng gabi kami magkikita sa Manam resto, where Mat and I first dated.
