Dear Future Boyfriend

Chapter 23

"Can you stay a little longer? Like 2 weeks."

The resto was really going well and Ninong Rj really likes it and he wanted us to extend our stay here. I can't decide by myself about it. I need to asked Adi and Andrew.

I also need to ask Kiro and my family. They knew na I'm going home after a month.

"I'll ask for your dad permission don't worry. You just need to think about it"

"Okay po. I'll ask Adi and Andrew ninong. I'd like to spend another week here if I were to choose but I still need to ask them"

Ninong Rj gently tap my shoulder. "Its okay. I'll wait for you. You have 18 days pa naman to decide"

"And if you want you can come here after you graduate. I'll let you manage the other branch. Just let me know"

That's too much. I don't think I can handle it.

I smiled. "Thank you po ninong."

"As-tu mangé?" (Have you eaten?)

Nagulat ako dahil pag pasok ko sa kitchen andaming bread na bitbit ni Esmeralda.

"je l'ai cuit" (I baked it) pagmamalaki pa nito.

"Gusto ka yata ni Esmeralda" pang aasar ni Adi sa kuya nya.

Lagi kasing binibigyan ng mga tinapay ni Esmeralda si Andrew. Kung titignan ay bagay naman silang dalawa.

"Shut up, Adi"

I smiled at Esmeralda "Merci" I said.

Esmeralda is beautiful, napaka bait din nito. Siya ang una naming naging kaibigan dito dahil siya lang naman ang nag tyaga na maki pag usap saamin. Minsan nga ay pakiramdam ko hindi na kami magkaintindihan.

"You look good together, Andrew"

Andrew glared at me. Napa kamot ako ng batok. Hindi talaga mabiro.

"Joke lang, napaka seryoso mo naman"

"Pikon talaga talo" pang aasar pa sakanya ni Adi.

"Ninong Rj asked me if you can extend your stay here for another 2 weeks."

"I'm in" Hindi ko pa man nasabi lahat ay sumagot na si Andrew.

"Me too" pag sang ayon din ng kapatid nya.

I smiled. Hindi talaga sila mahirap kausap. Nakikita ko naman na nag y sila sa ginagawa nila dito.

Lunch break naman kaya napag pasyahan ko na tawagan si Kiro para masabi ko na din sakanya. Its probably 6PM in the Philippines now.

"Hello?" Ghad. I miss him. No matter how hard I think about it, hindi ko kayang saktan si Kiro. Kung ano man ang nararamdaman ko para kay Asher alam ko na mawawala din ito.

"Hello. Na istorbo ba kita?"

"Silly. I can answer right away kapag ikaw ang tumatawag. Its lunch time, have you eaten?"

"Not yet. I want to tell you something"

I can hear him taking a deep breath. Gusto kong matawa. Hindi na yata talaga maaalis kay Kiro na kabahan kapag may sasabihin ako.

"What is it?"

"Ninong Rj wants us to extend our stay here."

"For how long?" He sounds sad. I can feel it. Sobrang lungkot ng boses niya.

"2 weeks"

"Its okay. Whatever your decision. I'm just here to support you, my love. I kinda felt sad because I miss you so much but its okay. I understand."
