Behind the Star (Squad Series#1)

20

I feel my whole body stiffed for a moment. I don't know what to think, my mind is fucking disturbing. Kung ano anong senaryo ang pumapasok sa utak ko.

No, Rius. Stop thinking, you trust him right?  Yeah. I do trust him. Get yourself back.

"Why are you standing?"

Nagulat ako na marinig kong magsalita ito. Balisa akong napatingin sa kanya na ngayon ay nakakunot ang noong nakatingin sakin.

Pasimple kong sinipa ang sleeve sa ilalim ng kama bago lumapit sa kanya at ngumiti ng malaki. "Goodmorning, baby! Let's eat, handa na pagkain." I said casually. He looked at me suspicious but nodded at the end.

"Morning." He smiled a bit. "Let's eat, I'm hungry." He said. Tumango lang ako sa kanya bago hintayin na umalis sya.

Magkasabay kaming maglakad pero hindi ko alam kung bakit ang tahimik namin parehas. This is really unusual, gantong oras lalambingin nya ko at ayaw bitawan. I shook my head, don't think too much self!

Nagsisimula na kaming kumain pero parehas kaming walang imik na parang nagpapakiramdaman. Though, I really don't know how to start conversation to him.

I was to pre-occupied to what I saw minutes ago. Narinig ko ang pagtikhim nya kaya napaangat ako ng tingin.

"Is there something wrong?" He asked normally. Where's the baby? 

Umiling ako. "Nothing. Nagiisip lang ako kung saan tayo bukas." Sabi ko bago tipid akong ngumiti.

Nakita ko namang parang iniisip nya kung anong meron bukas kaya bahagyang kumirot ang puso ko.

"Oh, about that! Let's eat outside, tomorrow. I missed my Mom's dish. Can we eat on our restaubar?" He asked. Tumango naman agad ako sa kanya.

"No, problem. I missed Tita Sabel's dish though." I said smiling. Ngumiti naman sya ng tipid.

I shouldn't doubt at him. He look so open to me again not unlike yesterday. Siguro pagod lang sya talaga kahapon. About the lipstick, I won't think of it again, baka naman si Dionne lang yon. Dionne always wear red lipstick too. Yeah, it must be Dionne.

Sabay kaming pumasok na dalwa. Naging busy kami parehas kaya nung lunch ay hindi na kami nakasabay pero dinalhan nya pa rin ako ng pagkain.

He put an effort on me, he still loves me. Everyone seem so busy, ginawa namin lahat ng trabaho namin bago kami umuwi.

I'm wearing my navy blue dress and stilettos as I looked at the mirror. I also put a light make up for this special day. Kinulot ko rin ang dulo ng mahahaba kong buhok, hindi naman halatang pinaghandaan ko masyado ito diba? 

I looked at my watch and it's exactly 5:00 pm. This is it! Lumabas na ko ng apartment para kumuha ng grab.

Ashton still on work. Nagtataka pa nga ako nung umalis sya kanina dahil alam ko kapag linggo ay wala syang trabaho same as mine pero sabi nya ay may mahalaga syang kliyente na kikitain.

Baka mahalagang proyekto iyon kaya pumayag na ako.

Sinabi nya naman sakin na may reservation na kami sa restaubar ni Tita. Kada taon ay padami ata ng padami ang kumakain don. Nagkaron narin sila ng branch all over the country.

Their restaubar look so big and huge unlike before. Kami mismo ng team ko ang nag renovate nito kaya proud na proud ako.

"Any reservation, ma'am?" Salubong sakin. Ngumiti naman ako sa kanya.
