Love On Taft

TWENTY ONE

"Good," He replied shortly.

"Oh so you know each other Sir?" Mr. Santos asked him.

"We're e--" I cut him off.

"We just know each other, we met at Philippines before." I answered.

His brows furrowed. Alangan pabayaan ko siyang sabihin niya na ex-lovers kami? Hell no!

Alam kong naka moved on na 'ko but I don't want other people to know our past.

Nakaraan na sana'y di nangyari.

"Aren't you familiar with her?" He asked Mr. Santos plainly.

"Uhm..." He tried to think. "Hindi po Sir e," Then he scratched the back of his head.

Hindi rin naman ako familiar kay Mr. Santos noong pumupunta ako sa office ni Rhys.

"I think, we should start now?" Ate Mich suggested. She looked at me like asking me if I'm ok so I nodded.

Umupo na sila at nag umpisang mag meeting.

"Nagulat talaga ako sa kanya girl," Mer whispered at me.

"Baka yung puso mo nagulat rin? Yieee!" Tinusok niya ang tagiliran ko kaya sinamaan ko siya ng tingin.

"You better shut your mouth," I suggested.

"Ang gwapo niya ta---" I cut her off.

"Shut up," Siningkitan ko siya ng mata at tumahimik naman siya.

"May kukunin lang ako sa sasakyan," I told Mer.

"Ok,"

I went to my car at the carpark dahil nakalimutan kong dalhin ang earpods ko.

I glared at the person beside my car with his black SUV.

"What?" He asked while looking something inside his car.

I rolled my eyes then start to walk back inside the coffee shop when he speak again.

"I miss you," He said in sweet but sad way.

I closed my then sighed before facing him. "Pwede bang tumigi--"

"Ok, see you soon." He said on the phone then put it back inside his pocket.

"What?" He raised his brow on me and his smile faded.

Nakakahiya. I thought it was me, maybe he moved on too and find something new, it was a very long time, it was fucking 8 years ago.

"I'm talking to my self," I defended

"Bakit sakin ka nakatingin?" Hindi niya parin kinukuha ang tingin niya.

"Bawal?" I raised a brow.

"And besides, may kukunin ako ulit sa sasakyan ko." Then I went back to my car.

I opened it and tried to look for something that I really don't know for fuck's sake. I gritted my teeth dahil wala akong mahanap na hindi ko naman alam kung ano ba talagang hinahanap ko.

I smiled when I saw my folder, andun lahat ng schedule ng mga patients ko.

Wala na siya ng makuha ko ang folder, kaya bumalik na rin ako sa loob.

I acted like I'm checking my schedules, kahit alam kong fixed na lahat ng ito.

"Akala ko ba wala kang trabaho ngayon?" Nagtatakang tanong ni Mer. I enlarged my eyes on her as a threat.

"Sabi ko nga busy ka" Pagbawi niya.

"Thank you Ms. Swanson," He shook Ate Mich's hand.

"My pleasure Mr. Cautivar," And gave him a formal smile.
