FOUR

Nanlaki ang ang mga mata ko sa ginawa ni Zayn, i felt like my body become stiff. "He made a quick kiss on my cheecks kasabay no'n ay hinila niya ako." i was shock for a few seconds bago napakurap. "Anong trip mo? nasobrahan ka sa kape?" concerned na tanong ko. "no, dali na.makisabay ka na lang. sayang ang free coffee." i laugh so hard when i realize, ang kuripot niya pala.

Lumabas na kami ng coffee shop but i'm still bursting on laughter. "Kaya ko naman bayaran yun,sana sinabi mo na lang." and i laugh again. "Stop it, hindi nga ako kuripot i just want to take a photo with you." inis na wika niya saka padabog na pumasok sa sasakyan.

Ilang minuto pa ang lumipas ngunit naka lock pa rin ag sasakyan niya, and there he was sitting on the driver seat while playing a rubix cube. So anong gagawin namin dito? Grabe naman siya mag tampo.

What if bilhan ko kaya siya ng kape tapos lagyan ko ng sorry note? nag lakad na ako papuntang coffee shop. "Iwould like to buy a Coffee Americano and can i ask for a sticky note and a pen? thank you." kaagad naman siyang sumagot. "Noted ma'am." ngumiti ako sa kaniya bilang sagot bago umalis at mag hanap g magandang pwesto na uupuan.

Tahimik ako na nag ce-cellphone nang may babae na umupo sa harap ko, she smiles brightly and she's pretty-sandali parang nakita ko na siya somewhere.

"Hi, I know that you might forgotten me but again i am Lie Corleone." nakangiting inilahad niya ang kaniyang kamay para makipag kamustahan and i gladly accept it.

"Hello pasensya kana hindi ko matandaan but i felt like i saw you somewhere, but anyway my name is Lotus Suarez and it's nic meeting you."

"If you don't mind, Magkasama ba kayo ni Zayn?. Because it's already 5 AM and her mom is concerned why he wasn't home yet."napatingin naman ako sa relo ko and do'n ko na realize na 5 na nga ng madalin araw.

Saglit akong nag isip, i look closely on her face then i realize "Naalala ko na! ikaw yung babae na nag pauwi sa'kin sa club kanina. Thank you pala at oo magkasama kami nando'n siya sa kotse niya."

"Excuse me ma'am nandito na po ang hiningi niyo at heto rin po ang order niyo. Thank You po."

"Walang ano man po, maraming salamat rin." i took the pen and the sticky note while holding the cofffee in my other hand, tumayo naman si Lie at nag paalam na pupuntahan niya si Zayn. "Sige, yung sasakyan niya nasa first station and nasa third slot.

"Thank you, i really come to the right person." she turn around and left.

naka tingin ako sa kaniya hanggang sa makalabas siya ng shop and the way she walks? she walks like i can buy you. Sinimulan ko na mag sulat ng sorry note, i make sure na hindi cringe kung basahin baka isipin niya napaka romantic ko. Hindi no! maangas kaya ako.

Mabilis ako na lumabas ng coffee shop upang maabutan ko siya, baka kasi umuwi na siya at hindi kami makapag usap sayang naman hindi pa sigurado kung magkikita kami ulit.

When I arrive at the parking lot where his car parked awhile ago. I saw a two figure inside the car they're both hugging each other, I can felt a little pain on my chest. "Hindi naman siguro sila yan and if ever na sila man yan for sure it's a friendly hug or a comforting hug. Tama! " I mumbled in my self trying my best to cheer my self up.

I knocked at the window and they both looked at me, Nakita ko na may dumaan na gulat sa mukha ni Zayn ngunit nawala rin iyon. Baka guni-guni ko lang.

Binaba ni Lie ang bintana ng sasakyan at ngumiti sa'kin, "I'm sorry na nakita mo pa kami sa ganitong sitwasyon, Zayn and I are just talking." she smiled awkwardly.

"Oo, mukha nga." I replied and laugh a little, I didn't mean to make it sound rude but I don't know my self anymore.

"Get in the car Lotus we're fetching you home." seryosong wika ni Zayn and that made me realize na baka may seryoso silang pinag usapan ni Lie which is the best thing to do is bigyan ko sila ng oras sa isa't isa.

"Naku! wag na Zayn Malapit lang dito ang bahay ko kaya ko na." I declined while assuring him that I'll be okay.

"I don't accept refusals." Ngumiti na lamang ako at umakyat, baka nagmamadali pa sila sayang lang sa oras kung makipag argumento pa ako sa kaniya.

"uhm. Lotus if you don't mind can you sit at the back? Hindi kasi ako sanay sa likod." Lie politely said. "Oo naman, saglit baba lang ako." mabilis akong bumaba at binuksan ang pintuan sa back seat.

"Thank you" aniya

As they start talking i just listen, sa napapnsin ko Lie really talk alot but she's the type of a girl na matured. The way she talks and laugh-ang expensive pakinggan. "And did you still remember back then? when we tried to sneak on papa's room and he almost caught us? that was epic." and she laughs again.

So mag childhood sila, "Lotus why aren't you drinking your coffee? it might get warm later on." Lie said while looking at the rareview mirror. "Ay hindi. para kasi 'to kay Mira, gagawin niya raw kasi na ice coffee." palusot ko.

I took off the sticky note that i put in the cup of the coffee and threw it in the window. Napansin ko na tumingin si Zayn sa salamin and i just smiled.

"So Lotus, youre beautiful and sexy. Do you have a boyfriend?" tanog ni Lie. I just shrugged and look at window before answering. "I have a suitor but hes currently in the different country and we no longer talk to each other anymore. Baka nalunod na yun sa sabaw." biro ko.

I saw Zayn face flashes dark pero mabilis lang iyon kaya hindi ako sigurado. "The bakit ka pa nag cub kung may suitor ka na pala? isn't it cheating?" may dii na tanong ni Zayn. "It's not because he stops communicating with me 4 months ago." he kept quit until makarating kami sa apartment.

"You're here na Lotus. Pag pasensyahan mo na si Zayn ha? Baka inaantok na siya kaya nagiging ganyan ang mood niya." tumango lang ako bilang sago, ngunit hindi ko inaasahan ang kasunod na sinabi ni Zayn.
