Fake Relationship

Tanya Zielle Hernandez Point of View

Nandito ako ngayon sa coffee shop nila Felicity. Dito ako nagtra-trabaho.

Kung itatanong niyo kung anong itsura ng coffee shop well it's a small place with a couple of tables and stools in the back corner where you can watch people walk by through the window. The front door opens up to this little side room, which has all sorts of stuff like a mini fridge, an oven, some cabinets, etc., but also a counter with a bunch of other small appliances.

A lot of the tables are covered with colorful throw cushions, so there is this soft atmosphere about it. There are some plants on either side of the windows. They're not real trees, just decorative plants and pots that hold fake leaves or things like that. There is even one plant that looks kinda like a plastic flower pot.

The walls have white paint on them and a few posters of famous musicians like Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and Conan Gray.

Sa kusina, mayroon kaming maliit na space at maliit na mesa kung saan kami karaniwang nakaupo. Ang counter naman ay maraming iba't- ibang aparador sa ilalim kung saan nakalagay ang mga kape, flourz sugar, etc.

I like to work here, kaya nung naghahanap ng baker si Felicity pumunta agad ako sakanya and sakto that time need ko rin ng pera.

Mababait naman ang staff dito and I get to hear their stories all the time, so I love to listen to them and hear what they do when they aren't working. The best part about being in a coffee shop is that it's close enough to my house so I can walk home if needed.

"Tanya, may naghahanap sayo." Sabi ni Aling Becka. Siya ang katulong ko sa paggawa ng tinapay at pag bake.

"Sino daw siya?" Tanong ko kay Aling Becka dahil wala pa naman naghahanap sa'kin rito.

"Hindi ko kilala e, pero mukhang mayaman... Sugar Daddy mo?" Pagbibiro pa niya. Natawa naman ako.

"Aling Becka naman, kahit mahirap kami hindi ako maghahanap ng Sugar Daddy. Ang dami-daming pwedeng maging trabaho. Haha!" I chuckled awkwardly. Aling Becka chuckled with me.

"Sige na! Labasin mo na yun." Tumango ako at inalis ang apron. Pinagpag ko ang kamay ko dahil puro harina.

"May trabaho pa ako, and if may kailangan ka please wait me hanggang matapo-" Hindi ko na natapos ang sasabihin ko ng gulat akong makita ang isang lalaki. Naka salamin siya.

"Ikaw?!" Gulat na tanong ko kay Lysander. Inalis niya ang kanyang salamin at nakangiting tumingin sa'kin.

"Haha! Hi." He said. "I'm your sugar daddy." And then he winked. What does that even mean?

"Narinig mo sinabi ni Aling Becka?" I glared at him.

"Yes, and if you can't find a sugar daddy, I'm here... Always Available." and then he winked at me again. Tinignan ko naman siya na parang nandidiri.

"Ginagawa mo dito? Stalker ka 'no?" He laughed.

"Well not really, but I saw you on Instagram. I love to watch you bake." I rolled my eyes. I hate when people do that. Si Felicity na naman siguro nag upload nun.

"It's not like you were watching me baking..." I mumbled but I wasn't sure. I don't think anyone else heard it. But since it was Lysander, there must have been another reason why he was here.
