[quote]slamat s mga compliments honestly speaking, i don't want to update this yet kasi i don't want it to end but since i read your comments, i guess i'll update it already [/quote] [u][i][b]Chapter 14[/b][/i][/u] I meant every word I said. I appreciate that he brought me to that room and I’m happy he did it. Siguro para sa iba mababaw lang yung ginawa niya, but it’s the most amazing thing a guy had done for me. Sa room na yun, we talked about what happened with Nikki, Cloud and Aljay. From that topic, kung saan-saan napunta yung usapan namin. Just like how I felt when we talked during breakfast, so easy and fun. Naputol yung usapan namin when someone called. I let him take it. “Hello? Yes. Yes it’s me. Room 208 po. Around 5:30. Yes. Okay. Thank you. Bye.” I noticed, room 208 was the room we were in. After a while, may pumasok na hotel staff, nagdala ng pagkain tapos a bouquet of tulips. “Lem, you don’t have to do this. It’s so expensive.” “It doesn’t matter, as long as it’s for you.” I melted with those words and I couldn’t help but smile. He gave me the bouquet. I wonder, most girls would rather have roses, how did he know I prefer tulips? And duh, eto yung kind of tulips na na-feature sa T.V eh. Yung Holand Tulips ba yon? Ayun na yun… eh ang mahal kaya ng tulips of that kind! We ate the food prepared to us. Buti na lang tinuruan ako ni Mama ng formal table manners, if not, tigok ako dito. It was a fine day. I temporarily forgot about the incident that morning. Pauwi, hinatid ako ni Lem, in a car. “Wait lang. You didn’t have a car a while ago. Sasakay tayo dito pauwi?” “Yes. Hop in.” Naloka ako dun. San galing yung kotse? Eto, nagtanong na talaga ako. “Kaninong kotse to?” “Amin.” “Amin meaning?” “Sa family namin.” “Pano napunta sa hotel-restaurant kanina?” Lem laughed. Ano namang nakakatawa sa tanong ko? Baliw talaga to. Pagdating ng subdivision namin, pinatigil ni Lem yung driver. “Manong, thank you. Maglalakad na kami from here. Wag mo sabihin kay Mama ha!” “Sige, Sir Lem. Basta ikaw!” Sir Lem? Naman? Ano kaya yun? May Sir pa eh. Ganon ba siya ka-tanda para i-Sir? Naglakad kami ni Lem pauwi. “Lem, thanks for the day. You made me feel better.” “I should be saying the same thing to you, Jae.” 6:00 P.M. kami nakauwi. Ang bilis naman. Tapos na ang araw. Ang daming nangyari. When I went home, nag-shower lang ako and fixed myself, then I cooked the chicken with my sister’s given recipe. Then, I prepared the table. Around 6:40 P.M, wala pa rin si ate. Oh well… I took the bouquet of tulips and took a picture of myself with the flowers using my cellphone. I sent it to Lem, with my message. Recipient: “Raindrops” -IMG_008.JPG- -Tnx 4 ds day. i enjoyd ur company.. and tnx 4 d flowers as well. D ko alam pnu m nlaman but I actually love tulips. . Jae- A few moments later, dumating na si Ate Faye. Nice. Exact 7:00 P.M she was home, just like what she said. She put down her things and kumain na kami. Kinuwento ko lahat ng nangyari pati yung paghatid sakin ni Lem sa hotel. “Jae, anong surname ni Lem?” “Bermillez.” “Ewan ko ba sa’yo. Ang hina mo talaga. Kawawa ka naman.” “Ate Faye talaga… Bakit naman?” “Bermillez. Bermillez. Bermillez. Isipin mong mabuti. Doesn’t it ring the bells yet?” “OMG!” “Hay… at last.” “Bermillez! Sina Lem yung may-ari ng Hotel-restaurant na yun?!” I am so dumb. Ilang beses na nabalita yung Hotel-Restaurant nila. No wonder dire-diretso lang siya sa room at pinabayaan siya ng receptionist. No wonder he was able to afford those Holand tulips. No wonder nag-Sir sa kanya yung driver. No wonder he didn’t care if he would be spending a lot on me! My eyes widened with amazement. “Ang yaman pala nila!”
