Chapter 24

Not this time. Saab was not yet ready to face Lance. After what had happened between them in the summit. Wala siyang mukhang maiihaharao dito. Talo siya, aminado siya. Bumigay at nagpa ubaya siya sa tawag ng makamundong bagay or baka higit pa doon ang dahilan.

"Ano ang maipaglilingkod ko sa yo"? tanong niya na di man sumusulyap dito.

"hmm, ganyan ba talaga ikaw umasiste ng customer, you cannot even looked at me in the eye, or maybe you are still thinking about that night".

"Pwede ba lance, not here marinig ka ng mga staff ko", pigil niya dito, at di niya namlayan naihawak niya na pala ang kamay sa braso nito. Heat and electricity. Tama ng magdaiti ang mga balat nila sabay niya iyung naramdaman. Still the same feeling kagaya ng dati. Di niya maiwasang maluha pagka-alala sa nakaraan. Those days na palagi niyang inaasam na makatabi at mayakap si lance.

"Hey ,don't cry okay, di mo kelangang umiyak para lang patigilin ako, actually i am just kidding",

"ha? ano... i am not crying", tanggi niya sabay haplos sa pisngi. Basa nga ito. Di niya namalayang may pumatak na pala na luha sa kanyang mga mata. Ang bad naman ng timing sa harap pa talaga ni lance, she hated herself pagdating dito vulnerable na vulnerable siya. Madaling mapaamo yun siya if it is lance para siyang maamong tupa na kahit sabihin nito ay animo batas na kanyang susundin.

"Tungkol sa ipinunta mo, tungkol ba sa gown na to", pag-iiba niya ng usapan.

"Yeah sort of",

" My still stand as a capital N-O, pero pwede nyong rentahan, but to buy it, i apologize lance i cannot sell it".

"As expected, well maganda ung option mo, but come to think of it i want my bride to cherish the moment, so definitely i want her to use a gown that is fully hers".

"I understand that lance, but still selling it would never be an option, i'll just make a gown fit for Kassandras' outlook kung gusto mo".

"Mukhang may something sa gown na yan na di mk mabitawan ha? , well, tutal naman matigas ang sagot mo sa bagay na yan, sige kass very own bridal gown would be great, how about we go to places na pinupuntahan ni kass"?

" Thank you foe considering that option. but wait... why do we need to go to places , pwede mo namang idetalye sakin ung mg bagay na gusto niya, in that way ma vivisualize ko ung concept ng magiging gown niya".

"Well, ahmm.. i don't think i can tell you everything about kass, i mean i know her but still there are things na designer like will see when it comes to a bride to be, u know .. well i can not explain it ,you have to help me it is hard, haha",

"I m getting it, but this will be the first na lalabas ako ng shop for a particular detail, it is not usual kay----

" If it is money, no worries akong bahala, i just want to have the best, please", nag papa awa pang turan ni lance.

" Okay ,wala naman akong magagawa, it still early 10 past i believe we can sort places now, okay lang ba sayo na ngayon na gawin, i am free the whole day, magigingbhectic schedule ko sa mga darating na araw baka ---

" No problem, today is deal" putol ni lance sa sinasabi ni saab.

"Alright wait me here, i will just get my things in my office, please make yourself comfortable", saad ni saab at madalian nag tinungo ang kanyang opisina.

"Great",

Lance Pov

Akala niya mahihirapan siya, well hindi naman pala this will be the start of the his plan. Papasunurin niya si Saab sa lahat ng gusto niya at unti unting paiibigin and he will drop her like a hot potato just like what she did.

"I will make you suffer", bulong niya sa papalayong pigura nito.
