Whisper of The Heart (Reunited Hearts Series #1)

simula

"hindi kaba talaga sasama belle?" Tanong ni ava.

"Hindi ko alam, ang dami ko pang kailangan tapusin na designs," sagot ko habang nag aayos ng lamesa. "Naghahanda rin ako para sa gaganapin na meeting this saturday." Patuloy ko habang inilalagay ang mga papel sa drawer ng table ko.

"Ano kaba? alam naman nating lahat ng design mo ang mapipili don eh," sagot naman ni liam, my gay friend. "Duh?! You're one of the best architects here. You'll definitely get that project." Maarteng dugtong niya.

"For sure yan 'no. Come on, belle. Give yourself a break. Masiyado kang masipag." Pangungulit ni ava.

Tinutulongan nila akong ayusin ang mga papers sa table ko.

"I just don't want to disappoint my clients. And i badly needed that project." I put the remaining papers on the side of my table.

"I don't know about you, you're so hardworking. You should relax sometimes too." si ava.

Naglalakad na kami ngayon patungong elevator. It's already 10 in the evening. It's late tapos ngayon pa nila naisip mag club.

"I need money. And i love working." I answered.

Pumasok kami sa elevator at pinindot ang ground floor.

"I understand you. But don't tire yourself too much, you also need to rest or relax sometimes." sabat naman ni liam.

"Nagpapahinga naman ako. And is your definition of rest drinking alcohol?" I asked.

"Of course not. But alcohol can help you relax or sleep more soundly."Si ava na naman.

"We won't stay there until 12 because I know we have work tomorrow, and besides, we won't get drunk." Si liam.

Bumuntong hininga muna ako bago lumabas ng elevator at naglakad palabas para makahanap ng taxi.

"Come on, Belle. Minsan lang ito. We don't know when we'll have the next chance to relax because we're so busy with work. At ngayon na tayo mag celebrate ng birthday mo, we can't do it tomorrow because after tomorrow, we'll have a lot of things to do again." Umangkla ang dalawang braso ni ava sa braso ko.

"Come on, belle. Ngayon lang," si liam. Humawak sa kabilang braso ko.

Napabuntong hininga na lang ako sa kakulitan nila.

"Hindi tayo aabutin ng 12 ok?" I asked them.

"Sure," napangisi si ava.

Sa car ni liam kami sumakay. Ayos naman 'tong suot ko. Blazer na may malambot na tela na sumasabay sa galaw ng aking katawan. Sa ilalim ng blazer, isang body-hugging na blouse na nagpapakita ng aking mga kurba. High-waisted na pantalon na nagbibigay ng haba sa aking mga binti. I partnered it with my favourite stilettos heels. Ang buhok ko ay nakaayos ngunit may natural na pagka messy, nagbibigay ng effortless chic na dating.

When we arrived, we immediately entered the club. The noise inside greeted us, along with the distinct smell of the club. Hindi naman mabaho, but I didn't like this smell. I couldn't identify the scent, but it was dizzying.

I felt dizzy even before drinking. I don't often go to clubs; I only get in when I'm with Liam or Ava.

I just followed them hanggang sa marating namin ang isang mahaba na couch. Walang nakaupo so i assume na this is our table. Ava and liam ordered three different kinds of alcohol.

Pinanood kong buksan ni ava ang isang bote ng alak at sinalinan ang tatlong baso. Binigay sakin ang isa.

"Akala koba hindi maglalasing? Bakit ang daming alak?" Tanong ko.
