"You're here," bungad sa akin ni Engineer nang maabutan ako sa dining area na umiinom ng tubig. Kakatapos ko lang kumain ng umagahan.
"Good morning, Engineer," ngiti ko habang inilalapag ang baso sa mesa.
Her sweet laugh echoed. "Ano ka ba! That's too formal. You can call me by my name. We're friends."
Friends? I didn't know that...
Ngumiti na lamang ako't tumango saka inayos ang pinagkainan. If she wants to be called by her name, then fine. No big deal.
"Dito ka na nag-i-stay?" tanong niya ng nakangiti. Medyo kinabahan ako dahil baka magalit siya kapag sinabi ko ang totoo. But I did tell her the truth.
Umiling ako. "Dito lang po ako natulog dahil hindi na ako naihatid ni Architect kagabi."
"I figured. Mas malapit itong bahay niya kaysa sa tinutuluyan mo," she said, still smiling. There's nothing fake in her smile so I guess she wasn't bothered if I did stay here for good.
Her eyes scanned my outfit. That kind of made me slouch. "You have spare clothes here?"
"Uh, sa'yo ata ito. Pasensya na kasi hiniram ko," I said, biting my lower lip.
"It's not mine," depensa niya agad. She didn't comment further about that but I can sense that she wants to ask another question.
"Kumusta po ang renovation? Balak ko sana ulit bumisita doon bukas dahil wala naman akong pasok kay Architect," pag-iba ko sa usapan.
"It's doing well. Hindi naman minamadali ang gawain. Hands-on din naman ako sa pagpili ng mga materyales na gagamitin. Anong oras ka bang pupunta bukas? Lunch ulit?"
"Probably..." I answered. "Dadalhan ko sila ng makakakain gaya ng nakasanayan."
"You're so generous," aniya sa isang malambing na boses. I smiled and washed the dishes. Siya nama'y inabala ang sarili sa pagkuha ng kung anong utensils at sangkap. She's obviously going to cook for him.
"Masama ang pakiramdam ni Cryd. Can you cancel all his appointments today? Ipagluluto ko lang siya ng sopas."
I nodded in response. Pinili kong hugasan muna ang aking pinagkainan. She started talking about her past life and that includes the start of her friendship with Architect Constantine.
"We aren't really close at first. You know him, he's a bit reserved. At ako naman, mahiyain. I've known him since high school pero hindi talaga kami close, ni hindi kami magkaibigan noon," kwento niya. "But then one day..."
She continued talking and I pretended to be interested. I'm not really curious about how their friendship began but I'm not going to deny that I want to know what happened to Cryd after I went to America. Did he graduate with Latin honors? Is he a top-notcher in the licensure exam? I want to know...
But Megan didn't mention. Iyong pagkakaibigan talaga nila ang main topic namin. I would only smile whenever she'd look at me for a reaction. She seems so happy talking about the start of their everything.
"Mahal ko siya," she confessed after a while. Malawak ang ngiti sa kanyang labi. "And I told him that."
"Really?" I tried to sound pleased for her kahit pa medyo naiinis ako dahil parang sinasadya niyang ikwento ito para inggitin ako. "What did he say?"
"It's a secret," she winked and turned around to face the stove.
I wanted to repeat the question but I stopped myself. Kung ano man ang naging sagot ni Cryd sa kanya ay wala na dapat akong pakialam. And the answer's obvious. He loves her, too. They won't be a couple if they don't share the same feelings.
