Splintered Hearts 1: Quinten Coen [COMPLETED]

Chapter 37

A week quickly flew by. Yesh just arrived at her office when her phone beeped. When she took her phone from her pocket to look at who messaged her, she saw Quint's name.

"Schatz, I just arrived at the airport. Where are you? I miss you." Yesh sighed as she read Quint's message. 

Hindi niya alam kung matutuwa ba siyang minessage siya nito nang makauwi ito sa Pilipinas, o kakabahan siya dahil mag-uusap na sila.

"I'm at work." Maiksing reply niya sa binata.

At makalipas lamang ang ilang segundo ay tumunog ang cellphone niya dahil tumatawag sa kaniya si Quint. Inilapag niya muna sa lamesa niya ang bag na dala niya bago siya naupo sa upuan at sinagot ang tawag ng binata.

"Hey schatz. Are you busy?" Kaagad na tanong nito sa kaniya.

"No. Kakarating ko lang sa trabaho. Bakit?" She answered.

"Wala naman. Are you still mad at me? Can we talk?" Tanong nitong muli sa kaniya.

"I'm not mad. And yeah, let's talk after I get off work." Sambit niya naman sa binata.

"Alright. I'll come pick you up." Sagot nito at kaagad naman siyang umimik.

"No need. Let's just pick a place to talk. Magpahinga ka na lang dahil galing ka sa flight." Aniya at ilang segundo namang natahimik ang binata bago ito muling magsalita.

"Then, do you want to come to my house? We're always at yours, and you haven't been to my place here in Manila yet." Suhestiyon nito.

"Alright. Just send me the address. Pupunta ako diyan pagkalabas ko sa trabaho." She stated.

"Okay. I'll leave the door open for you then. Baka makatulog ako dahil wala pa akong tulog." Pagkwekwento nito sa kaniya kaya napabuntong hininga siya.

"Alright. Take a rest then." Maikling aniya.

"Mhm. I'll see you later. I miss you." Kaagad na sambit naman nito kaya napasandal na lamang siya sa inuupuan niya.

"Mhm. See you." Aniya at pinatayan ng tawag ang binata.

Hindi niya maiwasang mapabuntong hininga dahil sa pag-uusap nila. Inilapag niya sa lamesa niya ang cellphone at nangalumbaba.

They're finally going to talk to each other. Yesh felt like she should open Ivy's topic up, pero hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin niya alam kung papaano iyon gagawin. There are so many what if's going through her head.

"I'm so stupid." Komento niya sa sarili niya at napailing.

Her phone beeped a few seconds later, and when she picked it up and looked at it, it was a message from Quint about his address.

Yesh shook her head as she placed her phone down and tapped her cheeks for a few times. 

I gotta focus on work. 

Nang matapos ang shift ni Yesh ay mabigat ang katawan niyang tumayo at kinuha ang bag niya. Kung papapiliin lang, ayaw niyang makipag-usap sa binata dahil natatakot siya, pero she needs to get it done.

It would not be good for the both of them, kung patuloy na ganito ang sitwasyon nila. She just hopes that their conversation later would be alright. Dahil mas gusto niyang lumaking may ama ang magiging anak nilang dalawa, instead of leaving and running away from him and letting her child grow without knowing his or her father.

Nang makarating siya sa parking lot ay kaagad siyang pumasok sa sasakyan niya at nagmaneho pauwi sa bahay niya. She would take a bath first before going to his house to meet him.
