Chapter 4

I'm trying my best to compose normally baka mautal pa ako. I don't want myself embrass sa harap ng mga ito. They might well successful persons beause they are capable to have this kind of dinner.

Sali, please don't feel inferior.

Pam: Long time no see, Sali.

Then I smile automatically to hide this shyness and embarassment kahit wala namang nakakahiya sa itsura ko ngayon. I'm proud of my job but this guy... make myself so inferior to the core.

Sali: O Pam, ikaw pala yan. Ang tagal na nating di nag kita ah.

Pam: Tuwing umuwi naman ako sa atin di kita nakikita I thought nag migrate ka na kasi for all these years di man lang kita nakita.

Baliw, ilang bese na tayong nagkakasalubong sa daan pero dahil masyado kang occupied di mo ako nakita. Masaya na nga ako kahit isang beses lang kita nakikita sa isang taon. Your always with your famous friends habang ako dating classmate lang.

Sali: Ganun ba... Nasa karatig lang ako nag aral then lumipat ng syudad para mag trabaho.

Pam : I don't know you work here. We visit here often di asalubong... maybe this is a good day, right?

I awkwardly smile while glancing to his collegues. I'm here to get orders pero naki pag chikahan pa ako.

SalI: Oo nga sa tingin ko eh.. Ahm Can i get your orders? Sorry for making you wait. This is our menu. I hope you enjoy your stay.

" Dok, mukhang mas ma-eenjoy natin ang dinner natin ngayon dahil naging instant reunion ang gabing 'to"

One of his friends said.

It's really awkward to have this kind of situation.

"Ms., if we may ask, can we know your name?"

Sali: It's Sali. Highschool friend ni Pam. Mga katrabaho nya kayo?

We are having this conversation while they are browsing to the menu.

"Yes, we are. We are in the same department and we are having our little celebrition of our successful operation."

Operation? Police ba sila? Sundalo?

Ay naku, Sali wag ka nang masyadong tanong baka isipan nila chismosa ka.

Sali: Oh.. Congrats. Thank you for celebrating here in our restaurant, Huwag kayong mag alala we serve the best here.

Pam: Indeed.

I took a glance at Pam. He is busy choosing their meal and after a while they give it to me.

Sali: Thank you, sir. We wiil your orders within 20 mins., is that okay?

Pam: Sure. it would be nice if we have you here.

Sali: I'm sorry, I'm not allowed maybe next time pag hindi ako naka duty.

" Sayang naman. I know Doc. Patrick will be glad to have more time with you"

Sabi nung singkit. Mukhang expert ang mga dila ngmga ito sa mga pangbobola. Siguro kung marupok ako, mamumula ako. Sino ba naman ang hindi mag b-blush sa harap ng mga makikisig na nilalang na nandito ngayon at bibola ako. Hayst.

Nag paalam muna ako at umalis doon sa kwartong yun. I still have this unstoppable heartbeat na nakaka bingi dahil sa mga biglaang pangyayari.

Dok? Doctor? I clearly heard them calling Patrick as dok o baka palayaw nyang bago yun. As far as I remember, nung abanger sa mga update nya facebook, he was graduated from Business Management. Kaya, bakit dok?
