Waves of Healing (The Six Ladies Series #2)

Kabanata 7

I don't know what to react, hindi ko din alam ang sasabihin ko but we can't just leave the table dahil kumakain si Kian sa table namin at ang bastos naman kung aalis na kami habang kumakain ito and probably, Jeremiah thinks the same way too kaya nag order siya ng dessert and guess what? nilibre niya pa ako.

"Bakit ka pala andito?" Jeremiah asked Kian.

"Birthday ng pinsan ko." Kian answered. "Anyway, your resort has improved a lot. It looks better than before."

Kumunot ang noo ko at napatingin kay Jeremiah. His resort?

"We made a lot of changes last year." Jeremiah answered.

Mas lalo akong nalito sa sagot ni Jeremiah. I have this conclusion on my mind but I don't wanna jump there.

"That's a good thing." Kian stated, shifting his seat and cleaned his fingers using a tissue.

Jeremiah nooded and looked at me. "I'm gonna watch the sunset later, sasama ka ba ulit?"

Natigilan ako sa tanong niya. Jeremiah is really acting weird today, hindi ko man alam ang dahilan but I am thankful dahil hahaba pa ang life span ko dahil kapag kaharap ko ang nakakainis na Jeremiah ay napapabilis ang pagtanda ko.

"How romantic." Kian stated. It was clearly a mock but ayaw kong mag-assume.

"Hindi na, Jeremiah. May gagawin ako mamaya e." I told him.

"Like what?" Jeremiah asked again. Why did he even open up this topic?

"Sa bahay, kailangan ako ni mama. Stop asking, busy ako." I glared at him.

"Sorry to disturb you guys, aalis na ako." Kian stood up from his seat without taking his eyes off me. Hindi ko talaga alam kung bakit siya nakatingin sa akin. Deep inside me, halos sumabog na ako sa kilig at mabuti na lang na ko-kontrol ko pa ang aking sarili.

"You're not disturbing us, Kian--"

"Ingat ka, bro." Jeremiah cutted me off. Napalingon naman ako sa kanya at pinanlakihan ng aking mga mata.

"Hmm." Kian nooded. "Ingat din kayo. Enjoy watching the sunset later." he looked at me for a while, his eyes were like saying something but I can't understand a thing. Lumabas na si Kian at naiwan na naman ako na kaharap si Jeremiah.

I stood up from my seat and went to the kitchen para mag check ulit, Jeremiah is following me from behind. The staffs greeted us as soon as they saw us approaching at ngiti lamang ang aking tugon. I went to the cashier and check their work.

"You should wear a uniform." Jeremiah broke the silence.
