Chapter Sixteen
"Don't miss me that much." I huskily said.
Ngumisi si Crime sa akin at binuksan na ang pinto. I rolled my eyes and went outside his car.
"Take care, Atty. Dizon." Kumindat pa ako uli bago ko sinarhan ang pinto.
Bumusina sya bago umalis. I purses my lips to stop me from smiling. Anyway, ramdam ko na. Ramdam ko nang malambot na sya sa akin.
Pumasok na ako diretso sa mansion namin.
"Ay Ma'am Maia."
Ngumiti ako.
"Kakain na po ba kayo?"
I nodded. Paalis na sana si Manang nang tawagin ko sya uli.
"Si Daddy po?"
"Nasa study room po."
As on cue, biglang narinig ko ang halakhak ni Daddy kaya tiningala ko ang malawak na hagdan. I saw my Dad laughting with a man who seem familiar.
"Oh, there's Maia." Dad saw me.
Bumaling sa akin ang lalaki at halos manlaki ang mata ko.
"I'm with Dustin, hija. I saw him one of my meeting."
Hindi ko inalis ang tingin ko sa kanila, well...uhm, I'm kinda surprised that Dustin is infront of me now.
"Dad." I kissed my Dad's cheeks.
Dustin smiled at me.
"Hi,"
"You are actually here, Dustin?"
"It's been a while, Maia." Kinalabit nya ang ilong ko bago ako niyakap. "I missed you,"
He tapped my back, bahagya akong lumayo sa kanya at hinalikan sya sa pisngi.
"Tamang tama, why don't we have a wine in the balcony?" Dad clapped his hands.
"I'll change first."
"Hintayin ka namin sa balcony." Ani Dustin.
"Have you guys eaten already?"
"Yes, sa meeting kanina. Ikaw ba?"
"I had dinner with---I mean, I had dinner with a friend."
Nagpaalam na akong dumiretso sa kwarto ko at nagpalit ng damit. I even tied my hair up and joined them in the balcony. Daddy's been chatty because of Dustin. I wouldn't blame him, matagal nya ding hindi nakausap si Dustin since his family migrate in US.
"Dad, that's too much information." Sabi ko nang makaupo.
"Binalita ko lang lahat ng ginawa ko para sa kompanya."
I shooked my head and open the wine bottle but Dustin snatch it and pour some wine on my goblet.
"Wait, I'll go check on something. Babalik ako."
Sumimsim ako sa wine at hinarap si Dustin.
"How are you? It's been what? Fifteen years?"
"I'm still the same, Maia. Ikaw? Sabi ni Tito, nagtatrabaho ka na daw." Ngumisi sya. "I never thought you would consider working."
"Ano ka ba, wala lang, I just realize na I'm not getting any younger na no. Tyaka exciting din pala."
He curtly nodded.
"Kelan ka pa umuwi?"
"Hinihintay mo ba ako?"
Umirap ako. "Silly. You haven't updated your social media."
