CHAPTER 3
Habang bakante niya sa pag-aaral niya ng Doctorate nag-apply siya sa Unibersidad bilang Chemistry Professor.
"You have good credentials not because you are a Levine it's because this is you." Anang HR sa kaniya
yun naman ang kinangiti niya no need to be Levine here kasi sa University na to utak ang dala dala mo not because of your surname.
Tumayo na ang HR "Congratulations you're hired Miss Levine!" kinikilig siya sa narinig well kaya pa naman niyang tumulong sa family business nila.
Habang naglalakad na siya palabas may nakita siyang naglalaro ng basketball sa may court natigil siya roon "parang nakita ko na ang lalakeng yun" sa isip niya she shakes her head "CHAIRO!" may sumigaw gawi sa mga nag-ba-basketball it was her cousin.
Kaya lumapit siya "Chairo good to see you here." Matanda siya ng tatlong taon rito dahil laking states hindi man lang marunong tumawag na Ate.
"me too, how's your study?" she asked "good, please have a sit let's watch my boyfriend playing basketball and I want to catch up with you." Sumunod naman siya sa pinsan tutal wala naman rin siyang gagawin.
"Where's your place? You are not staying at Granny Michaela's house."
"just a walking distance here, renting an apartment with a friend I want to try to be an independent you know lots of maid inside her house."
Tumawa ang pinsan "how's Gummy? Naruto? Been a while the last time I saw them." Aniya
"They are good, Ate Gummy is in Fiore right now, while Naruto is studying." Sagot niya sa pinsan
Tumalima silang dalawa pinanonood ang dalawang kuponan sa paglalaro maya maya pa'y paparating ang bola sa bandang gawi niya malakas na kalabog ang maririnig pagbukas ng mga mata niya may lalakeng nakapatong sa kaniya ramdam na ramdam niya ang kamay nito nakasalo sa ulo niya para di mauntog sa sahig.
nagtitigan silang dalawa her chest is up and down she doesn't know what to feel embarrassment or frustration nanonood lang siya ng basketball natamaan pa siya ng bola eto nakahiga siya at may nakapatong na lalake sa kaniya it was her first time ganun kadikit ang lalake sa kaniya except for her Dad and brother of course, bantay sarado si Akira sa kanila.
Nang mapagtanto nang lalakeng nakapatong sa kaniya dali dali itong tumayo at nilahad ang kamay para tulungan siyang makatayo "are you okay Miss? I am sorry." Hinging paumanhin naman nito
"I'm fine thank you don't worry about it, continue your game." Aniya
"good, anyway wait for me I'll just finish the game, I don't want to let go the 500$ bet." He giggled hindi rin niya mapigilan matawa now she knew kaya pala ganun kainit ang laban pustahan pala.
Habang pinapanood ang lalake naisip na niya saan niya ito nakita siya yung lalakeng uminom ng kape niya sa convenience store, hindi niya yun makakalimutan sabaw siya sa panahon na yun mas sabaw ang lalakeng yun.
Out of the blue hinintay nga niya lumapit ang boyfriend ni Hillary at ang lalakeng kumuha ng kape niya "Chairo I want you to meet my Baby Jared, Baby this is my cousin Chairo second cousins right?" ngumiti si Chairo sa lalake "yes second cousin." "and this is Ash." Dagdag pa nito he offered his hand binigay naman niya ang kaniya.
"By the way we need to go, Ash can you take care of my cousin? You asked her to wait for you right?" Hillary is smiling ear to ear at parang may ibig sabihin ang mga mata nito.
nang sila na lang dalawa ang naiwan "I assume you're house is near here in University." Ash broke the ice habang naglalakad sila "yes how about you?" she asked "I remembered you, you're the guy who drunk my macchiato out of the blue." Aniya
"Yes, me also that's why I asked you to wait for me gusto kong bumawi." He spoke tagalog "Filipino ka?" well Fil-Am for sure the guy has a blonde hair and green eyes.
"Hindi man e." sagot niya "so how come you can speak tagalog?" tanong niya "my Yaya is a Filipina I learned the language from her when she's mad nakakapagsalita na rin siya ng kapampangan hahaha"
