My Love In Her Past (3rd Book Of 'In Her Past' Series)

Chapter 4

The driver opened the car door for her as she got out of it.

Kahit pagod at kama ang hanap-hanap ay nag-ayos pa rin siya.

She's no other than freaking Beatrice Isabel Ramirez and looking haggard is not in her dictionary kaya naman naka-itim na tank top siya at short shorts with matching red Jimmy Choo killer high heels.

Inirapan pa nga siya ng isang babae sa may hotel lobby nang bumaba siya dahil nakatingin lamang ang boyfriend nito sa cleavage niya.

Mainggit ka, pader!

She walked confidently inside the café that Franz told her kung saan maghihintay si Direct Percy.

Nakita naman niya kaagad ang matandang lalake na nakaupo sa may bandang bintana at may binabasang mga papel.

Lumapit siya dito at naupo sa katapat na upuan nito.

Mukhang hindi nito napansin ang pagpasok niya sa café dahil nagulat ito nang makita siya sa harapan nito.

"Miss Betty! Finally nagkita na rin tayo!", agad nitong sabi pagkatapos makabawi sa gulat.

She just sweetly smiled at him and extended her hand to the jolly old man that looks like Santa Claus.

"Hi!", peke niyang ngiti sa matanda kahit na nanggigigil siya sa pagiging demanding nito. "It's nice to finally meet you, Direct Percy!"

"The pleasure is mine.", tawang saad nito while shaking her hand.

"Anyways, I just wanna ask why did you ask to meet me today? Are we gonna talk about the new ending?", sabi niya kaagad.

She doesn't want to go around in circles because she's d*mn sleepy. The sooner they finished this, the better.

"Actually no.", wika ng director sa kaniya na nakapagpakunot sa kaniyang noo. He took a sip at his coffee before speaking again.

"Pinapunta kita dito Betty dahil gusto kong makita mo ang mga lugar kung saan nangyari ang mga bagay na nasa script. It will help you understand it better.", pagpapaliwanag nito na mas nagpagulo sa isipan niya.

"You do realize that I can just Google it, right?", sarkastiko niyang tanong dito.

Ayaw niyang maging b*tchy sa director but she's really sleepy and all she wanted to do is bury herself under her covers.

Thankfully ay tumawa lamang ito sa tinuran niya.

"I know. I know... but it is so much better to see it with your own eyes.", ani ni Direct Percy sa kaniya.

Napabuntong-hininga na lamang siya dahil sa sinabi nito pero pumayag na lang siya sa mungkahi nitong mag-ikot-ikot sila sa San Juan.

After they left the café, Direct Percy asked her to ride with him. May dala palang sasakyan ang matanda at kahit nag-aalangan kung kaya pa nitong magdrive ay umando na lamang siya at sumakay sa sasakyan nito.

She already instructed her driver to wait for her call when she wanted to be picked up.

Nakatanaw lamang siya sa labas ng bintana habang papunta sila sa town's center ng Spanish era San Juan. It used to be the center of commerce in San Juan but things happened and the businesses started to leave the place. Sabi ni Direct Percy na isang tourist spot na iyon at protektado ng municipality ng San Juan ang lugar.

After a long 20 minutes ride that was supposed to be just around 5 minutes, they were finally able to arrive in their destination.

Parang pagong magpatakbo si Direct Percy at kahit wala namang ibang sasakyan sa harapan ay hindi pa rin nito binibilisan ang pagpapatakbo.
