Wala sa sarili akong umupo sa sofa habang si Xenoah naman ay nakatayo sa aking harapan at mariin akong pinagmamasdan.
Napakurap pa ako ng ilang beses bago napatikhim.
"So you're an attorney" I stated in the matter of fact tone.
His lips rose then he sat beside me.
"Good thing I am" he uttered and hold my hand.
"I'm speechless" hindi makapaniwala kong usal.
He chuckled and hug me from my waist.
"Wanna know something about me?" he asked.
I quickly nod as response.
"Hmmm. Where do you want to start?" tanong niya muli habang nilalaro ang kamay ko.
"Work maybe?" I answered.
Tumango naman siya bago ipinatong ang kanyang baba sa aking balikat.
"Like what you have known I'm a lawyer." he stated.
I rolled my eyes at his remark.
"And you're not working since I got here, pwede pala yon?" nakangiwi kong ani.
He giggled and sniffed my neck.
"Xenoah!" I hissed and glared at him.
"Besides of being a lawyer I'm also a business man baby." he said.
"What kind of business then?" I asked.
This is the first time I asked him about his life. Sa loob ng isang buwan na nagkakasama kami ay sapat na sa akin na masaya kaming nagkukulitan at nagbabangayan paminsan-minsan. It's like I only care about being with him.
"I have my own bar and mall baby" sagot niya sa tanong ko.
Napaawang naman ang labi ko at tiningnan siya ng may pagkamangha.
"At young age?" I mumbled.
Nginitian niya ako bago muling ibinaon ang mukha sa aking balikat.
"Well, my parents gave me a 5million pesos on my 18th birthday back then. They said that it will be the last time that they'll give me money so I should used it in a proper way." pagkukwento niya sa akin.
"So the first thing I thought was to escalate the money. I built a mall because that's where people usually go to buy their needs besides of wet market." pagdugtong niya sa kanyang kwento.
Witty plan..
"What's the name of your mall?" I casually asked.
"Manzato baby. The place where I met you." bulong na usal niya.
My mouth parted and looked at him with disbelief.
"That explains why everytime na namimili ako palaging hindi pinababayaran sa akin ng cashier ang mga iyon. All this time I thought swerte lang talaga ako sa raffle!" I said and sulk.
He laughed and tightened his hug on me.
"And the bar?" I asked.
"You friend's favorite spot" kibit-balikat na ani niya.
My mouth formed in O shape.
What a small world indeed.
"Wow. Just wow." Ayun nalang ang nasambit ko sa kawalan ng masasabi.
"So 200k was really a penny to you. Is your agreement still available?" natatawang pagbibiro ko sa kanya nang maalala ang alok niyang pagpapalipat ng lahat ng properties niya sa akin.
