KABANATA 32

"What the hell Denver? Gusto mong umuwi ng basag ang mukha?"

"I win" baling sa akin ni Denver na parang hindi narinig ang sinabi ni Keiv.

"Baka may gagawin lang yun. Hindi ka nanalo noh" giit ko at inirapan sya.

"Saturday afternoon Praia" nakangisi nyang deklara.

Inirapan ko sya at tumayo na.

"Lunch time is almost over, babalik na ako"

"Hatid na kita?"

"No may kotse ako"

"Number mo? Kelangan yan para sa communication"

I rolled my eyes and typed my number to his phone.

"Damn Denver nasa bar na"

Nilingon ko si Cairo na mukhang problemadong-problemado habang nakatingin sa phone nya.

"It's not my fault that he is possessive" ani Denver na parang masaya pa sa nangyari.

"Nagbabasag na nang bote, pay for it" sabi ni Cairo.

"What have you done? Let's go Cairo" ani Keiv saka binalingan ang isa pang kapatid "And you... Go to your mancave and get your cards ready. Wag ka munang magpapakita hanggang hindi pa lumalamig ang ulo"

SUPPOSEDLY lilipat na ako sa Tagaytay ngayong weekend kaya lang ako ni Tammy na less gastos, hassle at pagod kung sa Manila na lang ako mag i-stay. I want to rent an apartment or something sana but my mom won't allow it at kahit pumayag sya siguradong magtatampo si Tamara.

Her condo has enough space for the two of us, kaya lang ayokong maging dependent sa kanya masyado but I was left with no choice. Kakasimula pa lang ng trabaho ko at hindi na ganoon kalaki ang ipon ko. I want to be independent but I also wanna be practical coz this isn't the right time to let my pride butt in.

Wearing my semi-casual blue and white checkered sleeveless dress I graced to the mall's entrance and go the restaurant where I will meet Denver.

I can't see him everywhere but the waitress guided me to the table he reserved.

Just a lunch date coz I'm planning to buy groceries. Bakit ba kasi ako nakipagpustahan dun? Hayy...

I looked at my phone to check if there's any message from Denver but I don't have any.

Automatic na nag-angat ako ng ulo ng may biglang naupo sa bakanteng upuan sa tapat ko.

My smile immediately faded away when I saw Zurich in front of me instead of Denver.

"What are you doing here?" hindi ko napigilang tanong.

He glared at me then shrug.

"I'm having a lunch date with you right?"

Tinaasan ko sya ng kilay.

Bakit nga ba sya nandito, eh si Denver ang kapustahan ko? Tsaka paano nya nalaman na nadito ako? At dito talaga sya umupo?

"With me? No. You're not Denver---"

"So you rather have him here than me?" he cut me off with his cold voice.

Nakakunot ang noo nya habang nakatitig sa akin na para bang ako ang pinaka nakakainis na nilalang na nakita nya.

"What was that supposed to mean? Galit ka sakin di ba? Bakit nandito ka?" I can't hide irritation in my voice.
