Two Years Later.

" Ugh , I'm so tired today, can you please cancel all of my appointments tonight? " Pagod na wika ko sa sekretarya kong si Dionne , kakatapos lang din nang shooting nang cooking show ko kaya naman heto pagod na pagod dahil nag taping kami nang live for two hours,

" Yes , Miss !!" Agad na sagot niya saakin at saka na kinuha ang phone niya at nag dial na nang kung sino man ang ka appointment ko for tonight, I'm just too tired and i want a rest , this day is hassle !!

" Miss Leondale! Are you going .. home already? " Agad akong napatigil sa paglalakad nang may bigla nalang sumigaw kaya naman napalingon ako at saktong nakita ko si Enrique , siya yung director nang show ko ,

Agad akong ngumiti kahit wala na ko sa mood para ngumiti ,

" Yes , obviously! " sagot ko sa kanya at tinuloy ulit ang lakad ko , pero as expected of him susunod siya ..

" Uhm , I'm just wondering if i can invite you for tonight's party ? You know ? It's our last shooting for this month and .. The next shooting will be held in next 2 weeks. !" Habol niya saakin pero syempre hindi ako tumigil sa paglalakad , I'm almost at the parking lot,

" Sorry Enrique but I've already canceled all of my appointments for tonight, " Sagot ko nang hindi siya nililingon,

" But , your always like that Miss Leondale, please give yourself a time, we've been together for two years and all i can see is that you never rest and --"

" That's why i canceled all the appointments Enrique, I'm giving myself a rest , and that rest will not be on the party your talking about .. " Ugh , why can't he just leave me alone?

" W-Wait Janine --"

" Dionne let's go , pinepeste nako .." Utos ko kay Dionne kaya naman agad niya akong pinagbuksan at sinara ang pinto , hindi naman na nakahabol pa si Enrique kasi sumakay agad si Dionne sa passenger seat kaya ready to go na ..

All i can hear is him yelling and poking to my car window ,

" Miss , Grabi si Sir Enrique, ang tsaga !!" Biglang bulaslas ni Dionne sa unahan , napangisi naman ako at umiling ,

" Indeed Dionne , nababadtrip na nga ako eh !" Pairap naman na sagot ko sa kanya, narinig ko namang humagikhik si Dionne sa harapan at umiling din ,

" Kasi naman simula nang tumuntong ka dito sa new york , na love at first sight daw siya !!" Pang aasar pa na sabi niya , agad naman akong nag react nang parang nasusuka,

" Love at first sight my ass , " Pabalang na sabi ko at saka nag cross arm , and by the way .. this is Dionne , my half filipino half American secretary, taga dito talaga siya sa new york and i met her because siya yung una kong naging friend nang dumating ako dito sa new york ,

" Anyway Dionne , may appointments ba tayo tomorrow? " agad na tanong ko sa kanya ,

" let me check first!" Sagot niya sabay kalkal sa tablet kung saan nakalagay lahat nang schedule ko.

" Ah, book signing sa Manhattan Mall, kaloka Jax , nag release sila nang 5k copies nang bagong cooking book and guess what ?" Biglang excited na sabi niya , napaarko naman ang kilay ko sa sinabi niya , that new cooking book she was talking about was only release last week ? Ang aga naman ata nang book signing? Usually 4 months muna bago ang book signing!
