Nakatunganga lang si Ginger sa harapan ng kape at muffin niya habang si Cathy at Jessa ay mataman lang siyang tinititigan.
So early in the morning and today will be the birthday of Mikaela's son. Ginger just came here to drink her coffee, because last night, the every night duty of her mind barged in again.
"Okay ka lang?" anang Jessa. "Nakakayamot ka na" nakairap na sabi nito.
Ginger shook her head and drank her cup“No, my friend, you’re not allowed to be mad at me because I am heartbroken and sad though I don't have a boyfriend but still, I am heartbroken ” anito.
Cathy pouted "Heartbroken my ass! Bakit? Hindi mo ba nadakma si pogi kaya ka ganyan ngayon?" nakataas kilay na sabi nito.
Jessa raised her brows "Sinong pogi?"
Cathy look at the main door of the café "Ayun o!" nguso nito.
Ginger tilted her head "lead me to the right path my Lord" she said that made Jessa smirk.
"Ahh. O siya, I will not be mad at you anymore, because you are heartbroken" she even giggled nang pinagdiinan nito ang salitang 'heartbroken'
Habang sa loob loob ni Ginger mas naisin niyang dakmain ang makinis na pagmumukha ng lalaking papalapit, even his silky smooth hair that giving him the most hated feminine look by Her instead of his sword down there.
Aanhin niya 'yon kung hindi niya matitikman? Dakma lang? Aba hindi pwede uy.. Kailangan ko din tikman..
She even smirk flirtily.
Jessa poke her by her elbow to her waist "Uy, kilala ko' yang ngising 'yan talandi ka" bulong nito.
She wanted to tell Jessa na hindi ito nagkamali pero nasa harapan na nila ang lalaki "Hi beautiful, it's —"
"—me again!" Ginger cut him off.
Nagumiti lang ang lalaki, Ginger saw thesame man with him from her peripheral view "Nagkakape ako, may utang ba ako sa'yo para lapitan mo'ko?"
"Ging, maiwan ka muna ha, may gagawin lang ako sa loob, 'diba Jessa?"
Jessa being so weird sometimes "Huh?meron ba?"
Cathy bite her lower lips"Meron gaga! Eto naman nakalimot na agad— hinila si Jessa patayo —halika na bruha ka at naghihintay' yong trabaho natin! "
Ginger left alone in front of this guy, in her mind, mamaya sa kanya ang mga bruha niyang pahamak na mga kaibigan!
" Wala naman, nakita lang kasi kita kaya kita nilapitan, it's like we're crossing each other's path this days, ano sa tingin mo? " anang lalaki
"Hindi ako makatingin, ayokong tumingin at wala akong paningin kasi nagdidilim ang paningin ko sa tuwing kaharap kita!" Ginger said saka uminon ng kape.
She took her muffin and bit it, her eyes is with Adrian's face, after she ate what she took from her food, sje licked her lips in counter clock wise.
She wish she could name what she saw from his eyes. It's like — desire?.. Or she is just imagining things!
Adrian took one chair then sit, binaliktad nito ang upuan, the backrest is now on his front at ipinatong doon ang dalawang siko saka nangalumbaba habang nakatitig sa babae na katatapos lang dilaan ang mga labi ng paikot, damn it!
He couldn't handle his sword down there, that's why he doesn't have a choice but to sit "Tita mo si Maricel Soriano?" he asked.
Ginger frown "Who?"
"Soriano ba family name mo?"
"Wala ka na don, bakit ko naman sasabihin sa'yo? Magkaka pera ba naman ako kapag sinabiko sa'yo?"
Adrian chuckled "Para ka kasing si Maricel, kakapanood ko nang movies niya nung kabataan niya, gaya mo siya manalita e—"
"—Kasing ganda ko ba?"
"Mas maganda ka do'n syempre"
Ginger smirked "Hindi mo lang ako binola, inasado mo pa" uminom ulit siya ng kape "You make me smile, you make me laugh, you make me happy– linakihan nito ang dalawang mata — you make my blood boil to the fullest that I wanted to smash you to make you like a powder! — she blows a loud breath —" anyways, Thank you friend"
Adrian couldn't hold his laughter, he giggled in amusement. "Sarap mong kausap" anito saka tumayo at kinuha ang baso ng dalaga saka uminom.
Nakanganga lang si Ginger habang nakatingin sa umiinom na lalaki, then she bite her lips, cleared her throat saka sinita ang lalaki "Kape ko 'yan a?"
"Delicious" Adrian said the licked his lips "Reminds me of someone's lips years ago" anito saka ngumisi
Gusto man ng babae na makipagbakbakan ng salita sa lalaki, but she thought of something else. Talking something not important is not healthy at all. self love is important. THAT'S CALLED LOVE YOURSELF. Cops lock para intense!
Meanwhile, as Adrian wanted to help the woman dahil tumayo na ito pero itinaas nito ang isang kamay sa ere to stop him, a real definition of queen doesn’t need king because she didn't even let him lift a finger to move her chair.
Gusto lang naman niyang maging gentlemen e. I'm gentlemen though!
"Ayy hala, yung iba talagang sang ayon eh— the others looked at Ginger who was just staring at her phone, reading something —
Marami din namang cheater na babae, the thing is hindi lang shini-shame ng ganyan. Everyone is capable of cheating. Wala naman sa gender yan, kung kaya mo mag cheat, kaya mo, que babae ka, que lalake ka! — she even raised her voice, the rest raised their brows—Hindi lang naging normal na ang mga lalake kayang iflex na victim sila unlike girls na kala mo sobrang wasak but then the next day may iba na. Yawa! Tapos sasabihin, She deserve better daw. Ulol! "
The others dumbfounded.
" Anong pinaglalaban mo? "
She shrugged her shoulder" Wala"
"Yawa ka, what on earth did you think you're talking anyway? Did you cheat?"
"Gaga ka ba? May naka relasyon ba ako?"
"Malay ko sa'yo?"
Hinawakan ang noo ni Bea "Do you have amnesia?"
"Wala a!"
"Naman pala!"
"Kumain na lang tayo"
"Inom kamo!" Ginger said.
"Wasak ka nga!" Cathy screamed.
"Oy, p********e ko, buo pa! Yawa kang bata ka!"
"dalaga na po ako, may crush na nga e!" Cathy wink, Ginger rolled her eyes.
Ginger who was just wanting to drink 'till she wasted went inside to get a bottle of whiskey, wine isn't enough for her anyways.
Her motto, wine is just for lonely drinkers. She's not lonely.
Habang naglalakad, may napuna siyang naka upo sa hardin, it looks like a man? Or a half-half? Half German, half shepherd! He has a dog beside him, so she almost knew who that is, ang ginawa niya, pumasok sa loob, kumuha ng isang bote ng whiskey saka lumabas at sinadya niyang dumaan sa kung saan niya nakita ang tao kanina.
But when she's almost near, there's none. Ginger pouted saka biglang umikot, boom! The lips pouting, landed to the soft and damnn men! Napamulagat siya nang makitang ang lalake nga ang nakita niyang nakaupo kanina!
His one hand was wrapped at her back, gripping it so she will not be kissing the floor "Hmm, lasang grapes —he licked his on lips saka kumindat— masarap at malinamnam! It reminds me of my life long years ago" Adrian said, hindi alam ni Ginger kung namalik mata lang ba siya because she saw his eyes— sparkling!
"O e, baka pwede mo na akong bitawan?" mataray na sambit ng babae.
Adrian chuckled in amusement because he didn't even hear anything about the kiss "hold your spinal cored to stand straight"
Ginger stood up straight saka binuksan ang biteng hawak, and in here, in front of this man, she drank the bottle, halos kalahati na nang binitawan ng bunganga niya.
Adrian's corner of the lips went up, his brows raised, hmmn, tigasin..
"You want to taste?" anang Ginger.
"I want, but I love to know your name first, young lady" matiim na sambit ng lalaki.
"My name?"
"Yeah!"
"You should have been asked from the school records lot of years ago" aniya saka ngumisi "As far as I remembered, you are one of those people who kept on visiting —"
Adrian put his two fingers on Ginger's lips "Kasing anghang ng dila mo ang pangalan mo, Ginger" anito saka ngumiti ng matamis "
Hindi na siya nagtaka. This man is one way —genius!
She walked one step backwards , two, three, in a blink of an eye, she was grip on again from his big and bulky hands!" Not again lady! Namimihasa ka na ha, kala mo makakatakas ka na naman? Today isn't your lucky day woman"
Umirap lang ang babae, she couldn't feel any pressure or fear, wala lang. Pero ang puso niya, nagreregodon na! Sa sobrang lapit ba naman e!
"Mister, baka naman hawak lang? Kapag hawak ang usapan, hawak lang ha? Walang yakap yakap. Okay?"
Ngumisi lang ang lalaki habang yakap ang babae mula sa baywang nito, then he move an in a second, they're now sitting on the bench sa gilid nga hallway sa may garden, ang masaklap, kandong siya nito— like exactly the same position way back years ago!
"May naiisip ka ba sa ganito?" Adrian asked.
Ginger just pout "Wala"
Tumaas ang kilay ng lalaki "Di nga?"
"Yeah! May amnesia ako" bale walang sabi ng babae.
Adrian chuckling, nodding his head saka lumabi at nagkibit balikat "Well, in that case— he grip softly the beautiful chin he had been thinking the whole time now and there, he did thesame, brushing their lips together and talk like Ginger did long ago" Ako si Adrian, Adrian Bautista — he claimed her soft lips but not deep and put back to just brushing — ang.. Asawa mo" aniya saka ngumiti ng matamis
Ginger groaned "Hoy, makalimutan ko nang lahat, huwag lang 'yan! Last time I checked, I'm still tight!" anito.
Napanganga naman ang lalaki sa tinuran nito "Ah?"
Napatawa naman si Ginger saka tumayo at hinawakan ang baba ng lalaki, since she doesn’t know how to name whatever her heart is beating, she acted like she doesn't feel anything "Tight, as in birhen! — she even made a over acting pout — gets mo? Kung asawa kita, e di sana, warak na ako! Kasi kapag ako nag asawa, gusto ko, jugjugan gabi gabi! Intiendes?!"
Adrian left dumbfounded as he watch the back of Ginger, facing him "Whew!" wala siyang magawa kundi sumipol "Naman talaga! Ang taray na, ang ganda pa!" tila nag-iimagine niyang sambit.
As Ginger walking through her friends, she massage her breast because the inner part of it is beating rapidly, continously like she couldn't breathe anymore! Anak nang teteng naman o! Ano ba 'tong nangyayari sa' kin? Lord naman, huwag naman sa mas maganda pa sa'kin o? Parang awa niyo na please?
In her mind, she's coffee amd the man is milk, 'diba?
It's not fair!
It isn't fair na siya' yong babae pero mas maputi pa 'yong lalake! Kaya naman she hated all of him!
"Busit"
As she murmurs those words, she's now sitting beside Bea, and since she forgot to take juice with her, naisip niyang pagdiskitahan ang kaibigang anak yata ng mga sinaunang nilalang na walang muwang sa mundo ng kababalaghan "Bea, you want to take juice?"
"For?"
"Inumin mo"
"Nope"
"O sige, inumin ko na lang, lambing lang naman e" aniya
Nakangising Cathy ang lumingon sa kanya "Ang hot ng ulo natin a?"
Napasimangot lang si Ginger at hindi na nagsalita pa. In her mind, there's no need to think of what happened. She's too close to being insane already just because of that man, kaya naman mas maigi pang uminom na lang nang uminom.
Jessa, who is just staring at her phone asked Mikaela about her marriage, something like she wanted to know some of the tips of being in marriage life.
"Tama ba 'yong kasabihan na hindi ka pwedeng matulog kapag may tampuhan?"
Mikaela giggled "For me, it's not— she sighed, but happiness is what Ginger noticed —" Sleeping is the best solution,pagkagising the next day,Tuloy uli ang debate at bakbakan,hanggang magkabati na ang both side—tumawa pa ito, the rest couldn't relate kaya naman nakatingin lang ang mga ito sa kaibigan —Yes kahit my tampuhan bago matulog ok lang yan..mahirap piliting mag-ayos kng hindi pa naman ready ang isa, it's just that for me, in my humble opinion, me and my husband needs a little bit of space...darating naman next day ang oras kung ready na kami mag-usap gano'n. Kasi nga, mas madaling makipag-Ayos at makipag usap ng maayos at kapag nkapagpahinga at nasa matino na ang mga isipan, 'diba? "
Ginger nodded" Alam mo, may tama ka. Kaya nga ako, kapag ako nag asawa, kung gusto kong matulog ng mahimbing, awayin ko asawa ko tapos outside de kulambo para walang makulit' diba? "
Cathy groaned" Better said then done, parang pag iinom lang 'yan. You told me you don't want whiskey anymore, pero ayan o, malapit mo nang maubos' yang isang bote? "
Like I told myself to be mad and don't wanna see that man again but why? Why on earth that my mind was occupied by him already?!..
