Waves of Healing (The Six Ladies Series #2)

Kabanata 2

Monday came, another week of walking like a dead meat. Hindi na nga ako nakiki-bonding sa mga kaibigan ko dahil sobrang busy na ako sa pagma-manage ng restaurant. Isang linggo na ang nakalipas matapos mangyari ang pagkikita namin ni Kian. I was a bit stunned by my reactions kapag nakikita ko siya, I feel like isa akong high school girl na may crush sa kaklase niya.

Actually, naging crush ko naman talaga si Kian but that was before because during college ay hindi ko na siya nakikita so, I guess my feelings for him changed however, hindi ko pa din maipaliwanag kung bakit nauutal at nawawala ang aking sasabihin kapag siya ang aking kaharap and another thing is that, my heart would beat so fast na para bang kinakabahan ako na ewan.

Since maaga pa naman ay nagsimula na agad ako sa morning routines ko. I worked out a bit and took a shower, I wore a simple white dress na above the knee at lumabas na sa kwarto para bumaba sa dining room.

Kumunot ang noo ko nang makita ko na may kausap si mama. Maybe, her close friend but what caught my attention is the guy who's wearing a blue polo na nakatupi hanggang sa kanyang siko and a black pants, he looks so decent and formal. Napalingon sina mama at ang kausap nito, I smiled and made my way beside my mom.

did I met this guy before?

"This is your daughter?" nakangiting tanong ng kausap ni mama. I bet, ito ang ina ng lalake. My eyes landed on the guy at laking gulat ko nang magtama ang aming mga mata. It looks like he's eyeing me kanina pa at hindi ko man lang 'yon napansin.

Kumunot ang noo ng lalake habang pinagmamasdan ang mukha ko na para bang inaalala nito kung nagkita na ba kami o ano. I gave him a small smile ngunit hindi man lang ito binalik sa akin.

suplado.

"Yes, she's my daughter." nakangiting sagot ni mama.

"I'm Shine Denice Buenaventura." I handed my hand out.

"I'm Jenelyn Patriarca, you can call me tita Jen." she accepted my hand to shake it at napatingin ito sa anak niya. "He's my son, Jeremiah Chase."

Jeremiah? Sounds familiar.

Napatingin si Jeremiah sa akin, it looks like he's surveying me. I let out a small smile pero hindi pa din ito ngumiti sa akin instead, he handed his hand out to shake it with me. Tinanggap ko naman 'yon.

"Ikaw 'yong sa reception?" he asked.

Kumunot ang noo ko. "Oo, nando'n ka din?"

"The groom is my cousin." he said in a blank face.

Oh my gosh, siya pala 'yong isa sa mga pinsan ni Ares. Hindi ko akalain na suplado 'to. His looks were approachable though pero sobrang cold ng personality.

Sayang, gwapo pa naman.
