Adrian frowning as Ginger pouting na tila gusto nitong manakal!
Kakatakot pala.. Hinaing niya sa kanyang isipan habang nakaupo sa bakanteng upuan, facing Ginger's desk kasalukuyan kasi itong nakaharap sa computer nito whil he is just sitting, crossing his legs and his hands on top of his knees.
Ginger look at Adrian from her peripheral view, ang ungas, may gana pang magpakita!! "Why are you here? Wala kang trabaho at nawiwindang ka sa buhay mo kaya ka nandito?" taas kilay niyang sambit.
Adrian raised his brows, but he controlled it and just in medium level, mahirap na. Ala tigre pa naman siya ngayon.. He even tssk on his mind "Binibisita ka.. Don't you miss me ?" aniya.
Ginger corner of lips tugged up "Bakit? May sakit ba ako para bisitahin mo? At ikaw, namimiss mo ako?"
Adrian nodded, sa mabilis na paraang alam niya "Of course I miss you! At oo, may utang ka sa akin—"
"—ah.. Don't yah worry, hindi ko pa nakalimutan 'yong pera mo.."
Adrian chuckled "Pera na naman,' diba sabi ko sa'yo kagabi na nagugutom ako? Anong ginawa mo, tinawagan mo ang pinsan ko at pinasundo mo ako sa bahay mo. Ayan tuloy, hindi ako nakakain magda—"
"—let's go eat.. Tumayo ka na diyan!" Ginger said so fast at hindi na nito pinansin ang boss niyang kadarating lang.
So what? Maghihilata lang naman ito buong araw sa opisina nito at maghihintay ng report niya. So why not just go out and eat? Tssk, I'm so brainy.. Aniya sa sarili saka hinila si Adrian na nag 'bye' gamit ang mga kamay na nakataas sa ere sa boss niyang naka kunot noo lang sa kanila.
Ginger and Adrian went out from the building at dinala ng babae si Adrian sa isang turo-turo, inaasahan niyang magrereklamo ang binata but to her surprised, he knew how to order!
He did the self service at nakahawak ng food tray at pumila para bumili ng pagkain nila. It's not yet lunch but because Ginger is so worried by what Adrian said, bumili na lang sila ng pagkaing pang tanghalian.
She took bopis, laing, at fried rice with adobong karne ng manok, Adrian took tortang talong, fried tilapia at adobong labong saka ilang order ng kanin. Nang makahanap na sila ng pandalawahang mesa, Adrian put the tray on the table saka bumalik sa counter at kumuha ng drinks, water and spoon and fork, naka ngiti itong bumalik sa mesa nila
Ginger just being fond on how he acts so normally is just staring at Adrian. And Adrian wondering look at her "Bakit?"
"Mayaman ka 'diba? Bakit alam mong kumain sa ganitong lugar? This is supposed to be for us normal people only. Not for your league" aniya.
Adrian pinch her cheek "Silly you! Sweetheart, I'm not a kind of spoon feeding man. My parents raised me from a normal world. Hindi sa mapagmayabang na paraan. Kaya kumain na tayo at gutom na gutom na ako" anito saka nilagyan ng pagkain ang pinggan bg babae that still amazed on what she’s seeing right now.
Talaga? Hindi ako napapraning lang neto??
"Oh, bakit na naman?" nakakunot noong sabi ng lalaki nang hindi nagsasalita si Ginger.
"Bakit ka naka tingin do'n sa babae kanina?" anang Ginger nang makitang tumingin saglit si Adrian sa babaeng nasa counter. "Lagkit a" she added.
Adrian frowned "who? I didnt stare at anyone the way I stare at you—he smiled at Ginger —and if, I accidentally stare at them,like just what you said it's you that I see not them, okay? "
Napangiti si Ginger sa loob loob niya dahil sa sinabi ng lalaki. But for some reason, she didn't let Adrian see it" Daw.hmpf! Kung 'diko lang alam na mainit lang talaga' yang mata mo sa mga sexy na babae e! " she said in pfft sound that Adrian chuckled about
Adrian giggled at Ginger saka sumubo kapagkuwan ay sinubuan niya din ang babae na agad namang tinaggap ng babae saka nginuya iyon. Then she took her spoon and eat by herself. Naging tahimik lang sila at kumain ng kumain, nang matapos na sila, that's when they found out that they finished all their orders at tumawa lang sila ng sabay saka sabay ding napa iling "Lakas nating kumain ngayon a" anang Ginger saka kinuha ang baso sa tabi niya at nilagyan ng tubig, she even put water to Adrian's glass saka ibinigay iyon dito.
Adrian smiled at Ginger "Thank you sweetheart" anito saka uminom.
"You're welcome.." she said simply, very simple but it hit Adrian differently just because he was overwhelmed by how she answered him normally to think that he said and addressed her 'sweetheart'.
"Where are we going after this then? Tara sa bahay mo, namimis na kita e— aray ko naman sweetheart" hinimas himas nito ang balikat na tinampal ng babae "Ang sakit n'on a!" he added.
Ginger rolled her eyes "Talandi ka na naman?" anito.
Adrian snorted "Hindi a.. Miss nga lang kita sabi e"
"Miss daw. Makatingin ka sa iba wagas!" she said while pouting.
"Hindi ko nga sila tiningnan.. Ikaw lang sapat na. Promise!" sabi nito, ngiting-ngiti habang nakataas ang palad sa ere
The problem is, he said 'promise' already.
But this is not a problem.. Yeah.. Naka labing saad niya sa sarili.
Ginger is there already in his mind, preferably in his heart dahil lagi na lang ito ang laman niyon, aaminin na niya sa lahat ng klase ng santo dahil hindi na iyon mababago pa.
Magsasalita sana si Ginger nang may lumapit na babae sa kanila and for se reasons, tila ba bumulwak ang pinaka tago-tagong boiling point ng dugo niya but she remained silent not knowing that the man besides her is askingbhelp from all the saints because there's fear inside him!
Diyos na mahabagin!
"Hi pogi —"
Adrian cleared his throat "Yes?"
"Oh.. Don't you remember me?" nakangiting sambit ng babae.
Ginger just staring at the two, at nabigla na lang siya ng hawakan ni Adrian ang kamay niya "My girlfriend!" he said, proudly!
Halos hindi naman makapag salita ang babae, akala niya sa mga lalaking kaibigan lang nito kayang sabihin na 'she's his girl' but for now, at this moment, she felt — so high.
So high ba biglang naging 'hot' at magpantig ang tainga nang magsalita ang babaeng kaharap nila "Siya?! —tumawa ng malakas— Adrian naman, akala ko naman may taste ka!" maarteng sambit nito.
Decent womens are the most prettiest in and out, and in any angles. For Ginger, she owes and loves herself for how she handle things and just be straightforward.. But for Adrian, he somehow feel so good and proud!
Go sweetheart! be yourself, you are free.
iba na lang talaga ang may breeding, marunong sumagot, marunong maghandle ng problema, hindi iskandalosa, nagiisip ng mahinahon at marunong rumespeto.
yan ang sana all. Adrian look at Ginger that way. And he's so proud of it.. Ginger looks so cool and very intimidating at thesame time. The cold voice and stare is something and it is giving him — chills.
Ginger will always be the one who will be blessed anyway. "I may not be beautiful in your eyes but still, I am a woman, like you —she extended her hand para ituro ang babae sa harapan— kagaya mo, may isip pero ang pinagkaiba lang natin, ako— itinuri nito ang sarili and smiled lopsided — may breed, kumbaga sa baboy, hi-breed at first class ako samantalang ikaw, native "
That was— shocking! That was strong act of bravery for Adrian. It was a clear example of beauty and brain of course! That's how he feel with hus woman. All of us human, all have different perspective in life, whatever we see in our phone screen, as well as the story behind it, we can"t really tell how those people felt or fell.
At alam niyang kahit pa nasa ayos ang pagmumukha ng dalaga, deep inside her, Adrian knows that her blood is now at its boiling point! And to think that she's still doing fine just right now is just so damn hot!
it is within ourselves on how we will look at things positively and beautifully. it's still best we spread and feel the love but of course, there's always an exemption ika nga.
Adrian wants to tell this woman that he loves her.. For he knew, If you miss a cab, you can wait for the next one. But if you lose a person… they’re lost for good. But he couldn't, alam niyang hindi pa ito ang tamang panahon.
Darating ang oras na masasabi niyang Ginger is already ready to face reality. And he is willing to wait.
That's a true gentleman and lovers do.
Ginger knew, even if she didn't felt love yet because she once were afraid of being in love and being attached with someone, If two hearts are meant to be together, No matter how long it takes, how far they go, how tough it seems, fate will bring them together to share their love forever.
Pero sa ngayon, hindi pa panahon.. There will be a time for this.. She congratulate herself on his mind for her thoughts.
Kahit pa ang ibang tao sa mundong ito ay hindi naniniwala sa salitang forever, she on the other hand believes that there's eternity.
Sana nga meron..
While Adrian is sitting in front of Ginger's desk, he took his phone and texted Geoffrey
He typed San, palod and sent it together with the smile on his face when he look up at Ginger and wink. Samantalang irap at patigilid ng labi ang natanggap niya mula sa kaharap. Pero hindi siya nawalan ng gana bagkis he always find his woman cute the way she act.
Geoff : Number at magkano
He sent the number
Geoff :Anong sim 'yan?
MeNAguwapo: Sim 2.
Because he is handsome, that's why he put his name like that. Well, love yourself ika nga kaya ganoon na lang ang paghanga niya sa sariling pagmumukha
Geoff :Fuckin' hell! Bobo ka pang hayup ka!
Napatawa siya sa sinabi ng pinsan and when he wants to type his final words, nagsimulang mag ingay ang group chat nilang kasali ang mga kaibigan nila.
'ATAPANG NA TAO, NGUNIT TAKOT SA KAHATI NG PUSO'
napaangat ang kilay ni Adrian ng mabasa ang pangalan ng group chat, at hindi niya alam kung sino ang hinayupak na nagpalit sa pangalan nila. Napangisi siya saka napa iling..
son of a bitch..
Golden Retriever : Ang bobobo niyong mga kaibigan!
Taena niyo!!
Geoffnaguwapo na yummy pa: Bakit? Umagang umaga..
Golden Retriever: Saan niyo kinuha 'yong manok na inulam natin kagabi??
Adrienne :Kinuha ni López sa harap ng bahay niyo..
Golden Retriever :Tang'na niyo! Kina tita' yon! Huwag na kayong pumunta dito sa bahay! Nasabon na kami ng dahil sa inyo!
Jonasio: Makakapitan pa kami nito mga ogag!
López na malaki ilong : mabuti nga 'yun, it's a funny experience you know ??
Jonasio: Pakyuu ka López!
López na malaki ilong: sino ang hayop na nagpalit sa maganda akong pangalan?
Geoffnaguwapo na yummy pa : present! May reklamo? Bayaran mo 50 pesos ko, at ibabalik ko una mong pangalan dito ??
López na malaki ilong : okay na iyan. Apakaganda nga naman.. ??
Adrian didn't realize that he's now smiling but sometimes, malas ay darating na lang kusa! "Fuxk! —"
"—You ka! Lumayas ka sa harapan ko kung ngingisi ngisi ka lang naman dito!" naningkit ang mga matang sambit ni Ginger pagkatapos nitong paluin sa balikat ang lalaking ngising ngisi sa harap ng cell phone nito. "You are ruining my mood!"
"Sweetheart, I'm chatting my friends —he extended his phone— tignan mo pa o!"
Ginger frown "I'm not your wife yet"
That's when Adrian jaws drop.. Yet???
While Ginger just stood up straight and analyzing on his mind what she just said.. What? Shutaness!! Ano naman ang pumasok sa kokote ko??
Adrian look up and bit his lower lips, but for some reason, that lips biten is now —smiling...
