The CEO's Substitute Wife (Wattys 2015 Instant Addiction)

Chapter 22

Her POV

We— I mean he decided to go to the mall nalang instead of gym. May bibilhin daw siya. Ano kaya yun?

Nakarating na kami sa mall. May ibinigay naman siyang card at sinabihan ako na:

"Just buy anything you want." bahala siyaa. Anything daw eh. Kaya sa grocery agad ako dumiretso. Kumuha ako ng malaking cart at naglibot. Ano kayaang uunahin ko? Aha! Chocolate!

Agad naman akong pumuta sa sweets section. Nasa harap na ako ng babies ko— I mean chocolates. I can't make up my mind kung ano yung pipiliin ko.

Toblerone ba o Ferrero Rocher? Cadburry? Milky Way? At kung ano ano pang mga chocolates.

Habang busy ako kakaisip kung ano ang kukunin ko, may biglang kumalabit sa akin. Tiningnan ko kung sino. Si Dominic!

"Hi Tita Beautiful! Are you alone? Is Tito Sungit here?" sunod-sunod niyang tanong.

"Hello din handsome Dominic. And to answer your question, No I'm not alone. And Yes, your Tito Sungit is here. He just bought something." sabi ko habang binigyan siya ng ngiti.

"Are you going to buy chocolates, Tita Beautiful?" tanong pa nito.

"Yes, handsome Dominic and it seems I can't make up my mind if what chocolate I will buy! Any suggestions?" tanong ko sa kanya. Inilagay naman nito ang daliri sa chin nito na animoy nag-iisip.

"Aha!" sabi niya at tila may isang bumbilya ang umilaw sa ibabaw ng ulo nito.

"Since you like sweets, I have a suggestion!" masayang masaya na sabi nito. Tinanong ko naman siya kung ano iyon.

"Take me with you! I can be the sweetest boyfriend you'll ever have. Sweeter than the sweetest chocolate!" suhestyon nito. Napatawa nalang ako sa sinabi nito. Nagmana yata sa Tito nito. Hay I know he'll be one of the playboy ho'll break women's heart paglaki nito.

"Handsome Dominic, I'm sorry but I can't take you with me. You want Tito Sungit to transform into a terrifying monster? And Tito Sungit will get mad at you if you'll be my boyfriend and another thing. You're too young. One day you'll find another princess that'll love you forever." mahabang sabi ko sa kanya. Tila natakot naman ng sinabi kong magtatransform si Dmitri. Hahaha.

"Tita Beautiful, forever doesn't exist." sabi nito and pouted. Kinarga ko naman siya.

"Once you'll find the person you'll love, you know forever does exist. So handsome Dominic, what chocolates am I gonna buy?" tanong ko sa kanya.

"EVERYTHING!" masayang sabi niya at kumuha na ng iba't ibang brands ng chocolate at inilagay ito sa cart ko.
