Chapter 11

Chapter 11

I just finished my duty and as much as I wanted na puntahan si Chester, I heard that it's quite hectic on his end, so I chose to go home and rest na lang. I'd see him when he's available naman. Besides, I find it so cute whenever he'd send random pictures ng mga ginagawa niya—sometimes it'd be a picture of his coffee or a picture of a wall. Super random lang talaga. It's like he just wanted to show me what he's up to at the moment kahit gaano ka-vague pa iyong pictures na sinesend niya. Who would've thought na ganito siya as a boyfriend?! I thought he'd be the standoff-ish kind, but it turned out that he's the clingy type.

I took a bath the first thing and I immediately fell asleep. Paggising ko, nakaluto na ng food si Manang, so I happily ate. After that, nakita ko na nagbake din pala siya ng muffin. Marami siyang binake since alam niya na mahilig akong magbigay kay Iñigo and Cha ng food (kay Rhys din, but depende sa mood ko if galit ba ako sa kanya or what). I prepared the muffins. Una akong dumaan sa office ni Rhys. He was in a meeting, so iniwan ko na lang doon. Then dumaan ako kay Iñigo.

"Ang saya mo ngayon," he said as I handed him the paperbag na may muffins.

I immediately nodded. Whenever I'm happy, I really wanted to share it to the people close to me because I knew na they're all rooting for my happiness. Nung sinabi ko kay Mama, she was so excited for me! We talked a lot about love—nagkwento din ulit siya nung love story nila ni Papa. I'd never get tired of hearing the story of how they met and how they fell in love.

"He's my boyfriend na."

Iñigo's eyes widened. "Agad?"

I shrugged. "I'm fast like that," I said, teasing him a little because I knew na it almost took him four years to get together with Cha. I remember iyong frustration sa boses niya before nung magkkwento siya tungkol kay Cha. That was when I realized that he's a goner—whether he's in a good mood or in a bad mood, si Cha talaga ang lumalabas sa bibig niya. It's almost like he could relate everything to her. I mean, I totally get it now.

I guess it must be the Viste effect.

"Grabe, paano nangyari?" he asked na akala mo wala siyang trabaho.

I shrugged. "I told him I like him. He said he likes me."

His lips parted. "Grabe..." he said as he gave me a slow clap. I pretended to curtsy. "Ikaw talaga ang tunay na lodi."

"I know, right?" sabi ko sa kanya.

"Alam na kaya ni Cha?" he wondered out loud.

I shrugged. "No idea. Nag-uusap ba sila?" I asked because I was honestly curious. Hindi ko naman matanong si Chester because I felt like that would be too weird and too out of the blue.

Iñigo nodded. "Minsan," he replied. "Alam ko may group chat 'yang magkakapatid na 'yan pero halos walang laman."

"I mean... it makes sense?" sabi ko sa kanya. "It'd be weirder if maingay iyong group chat nila."

Nagchismisan pa kami ni Iñigo hanggang sa tawagin na siya para sa work niya. Nagdrive ako papunta sa St. Matthew's kasi medyo malapit naman na. After I parked, dumiretso ako sa may department ni Chester to give him the muffin para may kakainin siya sa break niya.

Pagdating ko roon, agad akong napahinto when I saw him with someone. Normally, I wouldn't mind... but I immediately frowned when I saw the woman playfully hitting his chest and laughing like there was no tomorrow.

'Don't be that person,' I told myself.

I took a deep breath. I wouldn't like it as well if Chester would police who I talk to... so, I shouldn't do it to him. Don't do unto others what you don't want others to do unto you.
