Seeking Gaston Lynx Esquivel

Chapter 41

"Here, this is your room. And this is the key." Tinanggap ko ang susi sa kanya.

"Fix your things, later. The team is on the resto right now, we'll be eating our lunch." After that, tumalikod na siya sa akin at bumaba ng hagdanan.

But then he suddenly called me again. "You can wear anything you want. Tomorrow will be our official inspection and we will just have our meeting for today in the resto."

Tumango ako at tiningan siya sa gitna ng hagdanan. "Yes, Sir." Then he continued walking away.

I opened the door widely with the key and I was in awe as I looked at my whole room. I didn't expect a queen size bed here. I gathered my things inside and locked my door. The room looks so classic and vintage too with the wood furniture.

May carpet sa ibaba ng kama, may sarili rin akong malaking TV at maliit na living room. There is also a mini fridge in the corner. There were two more doors which I think would be the comfort room and closet.

I excitedly opened the first door and it was indeed a huge bathroom. Napaawang ang labi ko habang pinagmamasdan ang malaking bathtub nito, I should definitely try it. Kompleto rin ang gamit nito mula sabon hanggang sa shampoo.

The next room was indeed a closet. It was empty but it was huge too. Rich people really have these huge rooms just for their clothes, huh?

Lumabas ulit ako at kaagad akong humiga ng kama. It was too comfy and I just wanna sleep now. We should stay here for at least one week---

No. Kaagad akong napaupo. I wanted to go home now. Tama, hindi ko kayang magtagal dito.

I readied myself for our lunch. I wore my not so short black shorts and with my floral sleeveless blouse.

I let my hair loose again. I looked at myself in the mirror and combed my hair. Dati ay hanggang balikat ko lamang ito, then all throughout the years, hinayaan ko na lang na humaba.

And Calix like my hair this way too, kaya hindi ko na sinubukang pagupitan. Hanggang trimmed na lang ako.

I got my small shoulder bag containing my phone, tissues and alcohol. Bumaba na ako at wala akong nadatnan na tao sa may sala...should I go to the resto alone?

Wala naman siyang sinabing magsasabay kami, and I don't want to assume things. And it's better I guess.

Kaya naman lumabas na ako. Pagsaktong paglabas ko sa may kalsada ay siya namang pagdating ng isang tourist cart na may lamang ilang turista.

Kusa itong huminto sa tapat ko.

"Good afternoon Ma'am, saan po ang punta niyo?" The driver asked.

"Hmmm, sa resto po sana." Alanganin kong sabi.

"Sakay na kayo, Ma'am."

Kaagad akong tumango at sumakay. I got excited again on the way at hindi ko mapigilang kumuha ng mga litrato.

Ilang minuto lang ay nakarating na nga kami doon. It was the same resto...yung pinuntahan rin namin noon...

"Salamat po." I watched the tourist cart drive off at muling tumingin sa harapan ko.

Lumapit ako sa entrance at kaagad namang may nagbukas para sa akin.

"Good afternoon, Ma'am! May reservation po ba kayo?"

Bago pa ako makasagot ay may tumawag na sa akin.

"Eng. Ada." I saw Eng. Afredo walked towards me.

I looked at the staff. "Under kay, Sir Gaston po kami."
