The only person who used to call me that is...



Is...



I unconsciously touch my neck where the necklace given by the unknown person...with true gold and diamonds.



Napatingin ako sakaniya at nakatingin lang siya saakin. "Wha...what did you just call me?" tanong ko.



"Lauren." He said my second name again. Why does it sounds so nice hearing my second name coming out from his mouth? "Lauren." He repeated again. More clear.



"No one calls me Lauren...except..." I stare at him at pinanliitan ko siya ng mga mata.



He stood up and put his hands inside of his pocket. "Except?"



"Except the person who gave me this necklace,"



His gaze went from my face to my neck. He stared at it for a few seconds before his gaze went up to me and meet my eyes.



"So? What are you implying?" he asked in a serious tone of a voice.



Gusto ko sanang i-assume na siya...or baka siya naman talaga ang nag bigay ng necklace ko pero...pero bakit naman siya magbibigay diba? Bakit niya naman gagawin 'yun in the first place?



Napailing iling nalang ako at saka binitawan ang hawak ko sa necklace ko.



"Wala," saka ko siya tinignan at ngumiti ng marahan. "What are you doing here anyway?" Kasi hindi ko expected na pupunta siya ngayon dito although na message ko siya sa IG na opening ng shop ko ngayon kahit alam kong hindi naman niya nababasa.



"Sorry I'm late," he said.



"Huh?" Bakas ang pagtataka sa mukha ko. Bakit siya nag so-sorry? Para saan naman ang sorry niya?



He inhale a large amount of air and exhaled it. "Do you still have something for me? I want to taste your food here."



Food.



"Shit!" Napamura ako ng ma-realized na may cookies nga pala akong nasa oven. Dali dali ko 'yung binuksan pagkatapos kong kumuha ng gloves saka nilabas 'yun.
