Nick's POV
It's a one fine day for me, i guess, thank's for Margarette words of encouragement, it gave me alot of realizations, all those time that i was feeling my life crushed down infront of me and blaming my father for everything, I felt so insesitive, i didn't see that my father needs me to believe in him and i knew it's beyond impossible for him to do such craziest thing and he was very loyal to that company he was working with but i also accused him.
Now i'am here having coffee in a coffee shop across maggie's flower shop, scribbling through my imac laptop i was browsing through my email inbox, there were lots of job offers, but i never responded to any of them and then suddenly i found one special email.
From: Thomas Pierre
SOn,
i'm sorry i had to drag you with all the mess i am going through, i wouldn't want in a world to hurt my only son.
I promise i will do all i can to fix things here , we are still conducting more thorough investigations and I promise you my son , as soon as i can prove them that i have nothing to with those controversies . I will follow you and your mom there in the Philippines and we will all start our new life as one family.
My son Nicholas i'am truly sorry and i love you and your mother more than anything in this world.
After reading my father's email my heart felt like crying, i was moved by fathers message. I love my dad and now i'm going to trust in him.
To: Thomas Pierre
Dear Dad,
I 'am sorry for being so insensitive, for blaming you for everything, i know it was not entirely your fault, it was mine all along, i was the one who decide to resign and gave up everything.
Dad i want you know that i believe in you and i know your a great man because you are best dad for me.
i love you too my Dad.
I'll be waiting for you here with mom.
Love
Your only son Nicholas :)
And that gave me more courage to stand up and gave myself more confidence to fix my own life.
i started responding to my job offer emails.
" i hope everything works well right now" then i saw Margarette by her shop's window,she was arranging flower and she's really beautiful , yes simple and beautiful, i didn't noticed that i was already staring at her " what the heck did i just admire her? what are you thinking man, get a grip of yourself" i scolded myself, i just look like lovesick puppy here, snap out of it man !
Then suddenly i noticee she was alone working in her shop, so i decided to turned off my laptop and slid it inside my backpack, i started walking across the coffee shop and came knocking through her door then i went inside.
"Hi Maggie!" i greeted but she continued cutting some stems and humming some song , she didn't heard me because she had her headset on,suddenly her scissor fell under a glass table so i also knelt down my knees to meet her gaze .
"hey Maggie!"i greeted her again, but i didn't expect that i made her jump to her feet and bump her head on the table.
"Ouch!" She blurted out.
Margarette's POV
Kasalukuyan akong nag aarange ng flower display namin,i was listenning to my ipod shuffle and i was alone in my shop, kasi absent nanaman si Jane at malalate si Chandria.
Monday na monday mag isa ako at kadarating lang din ng mga deliveries kaya naman di ako magkaugaga sa pag ayos sa shop.
mayamaya nalaglag sa ilalim ng mesa ang gunting ko nang pupulutin ko na sana ang gunting bigla naman akong nagulat ng mabungaran kung may nakatingin sa kin si nick."ouch!" sigaw ko kasi naman naumpog ba naman ako sa lamesa.
"ano ka ba naman nick!you scared the hell out of me, don't you ever do that again" agad naman niya kong nilapitan at hinimas ang ulo kong naumpog kanina lang.
" i'm sorry does it still hurt."
"no no i'm ok now"tinanggal ko naman ang kamay niya.
" how are you ? i mean you just had an allergy attack last night?" Pagtatanong nya, oo nga pala nang dahil sa katatakawan ko inatake tuloy ako ng allergies ko.
"oh yeah i'm fine, thanks anyway for taking me home last night"syempre sobrang naapreciate ko ang ginawa niya. kung di dahil sa kanya naku ewan ko na lng kung makakaya ko pang makauwi nun.
"ur welcome maggie,"nilibot nya ng tingin sa shop"looks like your alone"nagtatakang tanong niya.
"yeah, remember my assistant Jane, she's absent again and chandria my bestfriend , she will be coming late, so it's only me alone here"patuloy pa rin ako sa pag aarange ng mga flowers
" so if thats the case what can i do to help you here?"teka muna nakakahiya naman.
"no it's ok i can manage." Nakakhiya talaga.
"c'mon maggie look around you theres no way you can do all this by yourself."oo nga napaka rami ko pang aayusin kaya pumayag na rin ako.
agad naman siyang tumulong at dahil di sya marunong sa flower arranging, tumulong na lang siya sa pag cut ng stem at taga transfer ng mga malaking vases.
masaya rin pla pagmay kasama kang nangtratrabaho without us noticing the time bigla na lang siyang tumayo at "Maggie i'll be right back." agad naman siyang umalis.
after 30 mins bumalik din siya agad at my dala dalang take out food.bigla naman kumalam ang tyan ko.
"Lets have lunch maggie and don't worry i did make sure there's no shrimps for you." Thoughful din naman pala to si nick.
Di nako nagpatumpik tumpik bakit gutom nako eh.
after namin maglunch bumalik agad kami sa ginagawa namin, maya maya lang nag riring na ang telepono , i was taking calls and he began arranging the vases, after awhile matapos na rin kami actually naglinis na siya ng sahig, nagmomop sya ,ako naman nag simula ng trabahuin ang mga files na pending sa desk ko ng biglang dumating si Chandria " oH my friend, sobrang traffic..----"bago man sya maktapos nalingunan niya si nick kasalukayang ng momop ng sahig.
"naku,ok naman pala ang lahat dito, naandito naman pala si superman"sabay ngiti niya sa kin na nanunudyo.
"uy ano ka ba chandria ,manahimik ka na pwede, si nick nga pala and nick this is my super late bestfriend chandria."bigla namn siyang nilapitan ng bestfriend ko "nick i just wanna thank you for helping maggie sa uulitin ha"panunukso ni chandria. "Chandria! ano ba!" Nakahiya tlaga to
"eto na titigal na nga para makatrabaho na ako."naku kung di ko mahal ang bestfriend ko na to babatukan ko talaga to.
Kay bilis ng oras at magsasara na kami ng shop. "bes i'll go ahead may pinapabili si mama sa grocery."nagmamadali siya umalis.si nick na nag lock ng roll up door ng shop.
"so where's your scooter?"naglakad na kami palabas ng mall.
"i can't drive while i'm in medication,i might got dizzy, sio i'll just take a cab"sagot ko agad alangan naman sumabay pa ko sa kanya.
"i'll just take you home."talaga naman nag offer pa na ihatid ako."naku isn't it to much nick" talaga namang nakakahiya tinulungan na nga niya ako buong maghapon sa shop tapos magpapahatid pa ko pa uwi,"its ok i'm also going home and you just live beside my house incase you forgot"oo nga naman magkapitbahay pala kami nito.well sige na nga.kaya naman sabay na kami umuwi.
nang makasakay na kami sa frontier niya "alright,uwe na tayow debuh"natatawa tlaga ako kasi nagtatagalog siya,pero ang pangit pakinggan "hey what's funny"nagtataka na ata siya kc pinipigalan ko talaga matawa pero napabungis bungis na lang ako "it's nothing"agad kong sagot baka kung sabihin ko maoffend ko pa siya.
"baka your nababaliw na kc ur laughing at nothing"hahaha nakakatawa talaga siya magtagalog."eh naninibago lang ako kasi nagtatagalog ka na ngayon"
"i know naman tlaga magtagalog i can actually understand tagalog but when im talking tagalog i sound so funny."hahaha buti alam nya, wait!sinabi ba nya na nakakaintindi ng tagalog.OMG
"nakakaintindi ka ng tagalog?"gulat kong tanong
"eh yung mga sinigaw sa bangin naintindihan mo lahat yun?"
"yeah, i'm glad you didn't push me on the pit because I'm gwapo"kumindat pa parang gusto ko ng bumuka ang lupa at lamunin ako as in super nakakahiya, napatakip na lang ako ng mukha at nag peace sign sa kanya tumawa lang siya ng tumawa hanggang marating namin ang bahay."alam mo nakakainis ka! marunong ka pa lang magtagalog pinahirapan mo pa kong magenglish."
"bakit nagtanong ka ba?"ay pilosopo batukan kita dyan makita.
"alright sige na, thanks for the ride and sa pagtulong mo sa shop.Goodnite!"then lumabas na ko at derederetsong pumasok sa bahay, wait did i just told him goodnite.oh no!
