Kabanata 7
Abode
Nandito na kami sa subdivision na tinitirhan ni Drix. Ito rin ang subdivision kung saan kami nagkita ni Justine, this subdivision was called Camaraderie. Napag-alaman ko na itong subdivision pala na ito ay business ng magkaka-ibigan. Drix brought me in a 2-storey house and my reaction after seeing his place is just the same on what my reaction on his company. I know I shouldn't be surprised because he is a successful architect, pilot and a CEO of a well-known company but I couldn't help myself, especially because every single detail of his abode is screaming elegance and money. His place is a combination of black, white and gray color.
I walk towards the big glass to see the flickering lights under his infinity pool. It is breathtaking to watch, but my attention was caught by Drix who just walked out from a room- I think that his room. I saw him motioned me to follow him and that's what I did. Tatanungin ko na sana siya kung saan ang magiging kwarto ko pero napansin kung may kausap pa siya sa telepono.
"Yeah Mom, But are you sure you don't know that name? or it doesn't ring any bell?" Mukhang Nanay pa niya ang ka usap kaya mas lalong hindi na muna ako nag salita. We stopped in front of a door, pero tumayo lang kami doon dahil sa may kausap pa siya.
"No! Of course not Mom. I just thought you know that name." napaka talaga ng lalaki na ito pati nanay niya sinisigawan.
"Yeah. I have to go" Ibinaba na nito ang kaniyang telepono at saka humarap sa akin. Agad naman akong ngumiti sa kaniya. Pero kunot noo lang ang ibinigay nito sa akin.
"This will be your room. After you put your things go to the kitchen and cook something. You know how to cook right?" he hopefully asked
"Oo naman boss. Forte ko yan. Bukod sa pagtimpla ng masarap na kape, magaling din—" Hindi ko na natapos pa ang sinasabi ko ng bigla na lang siyang tumalikod sa akin.
Bastos amph.
Inilagay ko na muna sa loob ang mga gamit ko. My room is a combination of white and gray. I also have a queen sized bed with two side table. There are two doors inside this room. I walk towards the first door in my right. It is a bathroom, while the door on my left is a walk in closet.
Ang gara naman pala ng nagiging P.A nito.
Pagkatapos kong magpalit ng damit at ilagay ang mga gamit ko sa tamang mga lalagyan nito ay lumabas na ako at saka pumunta sa kusina. Mabuti na lang at mayroon pang ibang ingredients para sa lulutuin ko. I'm planning to cook chicken adobo, para madali na lang siyang lutuin. At habang hinihintay ko na lumambot ang chicken ay nag saing na rin ako ng bigas. Habang ginagawa ko ang mga ito ay napansin ko na pumasok sa kusina si Drix habang hawak-hawak ang kaniyang laptop. I notice that he already change his clothes and he already took a bath. From wearing formal clothes, he is now wearing a black sweatpants and a gray hooded jacket and I don't know what version I like, the badass in a formal clothes or this hottie in a simple attire? Or maybe both?
Shut up self! Kung ano-ano pinagi-isip mo.
Ipinagtimpla ko na lang siya ng kape para hindi narin ako nag iisip ng kung ano-ano. I didn't bother to look at his reaction after putting the cup of coffee beside his laptop baka masabihan pa ako kung ano-ano at baka kung ano pa ang pumasok sa isip ko.
Nang masiguro ko na luto na ang mga pagkain ay inilagay ko na ito sa lalagyan nito. Naghanda na din ako ng dalawang plato at iba pang kubyertos.
"What's that?" nakataas na kilay na tanong niya sa akin habang nakaturo sa adobong niluto ko.
"Eroplano?" pabalang na sagot ko. Ano ba naman kasi 'tong amo ko. Nasa harapan na niya nagtatanong pang kung ano.
"Eh, kung palayasin kaya kita." Napa-irap naman ako sa masungit na turan nito.
