《Haven In Your Arms (ON-GOING)》Chapter 2

••••
8 o'clock in the morning and I'm going to the café. Kahit late na papasok ako ngayon. Natagalan lang talaga ako kasi nagdadalawang-isip pa ako kanina kung papasok ba talaga ako o hindi. At ito na nga ako sa labas ng bahay at naghihintay ng taxi na dadaan.
Pinadala ko kasi kay Tina 'yong kotse dahil kanina akala ko hindi ako papasok kaso nagbago 'yong isip ko kaya heto ako ngayon, papasok na sa café.
I waited for a few minutes for the taxi to pass by and thank God it arrives. Sumakay naman ako agad at sinabi sa taxi driver kung saan ako papunta.
The ride was fast since the café is not really that far away from the house. Bumaba na ako sa taxi at nagbayad kay manong at nagpasalamat na rin sa kanya bago ako pumasok sa loob ng café.
Gulat na gulat pa si Tina nang makita ako sa café. Of course, she didn't expect me to be here. Dahil akala niya kanina hindi ako papasok ulit ngayon.
Binati ako ng mga kasama ko sa café at ganoon din ako sa kanila at ngumiti lamang ako kay Tina bago ako pumasok sa opisina ko at sumunod din naman siya doon.
"Akala ko ba hindi ka papasok ngayon, Lilies. Okay ka na ba?"
"I've change my mind, Tina. Kaya pumasok ako. I'm also fine so don't worry."
Tina sighed before sitting in the couch. "May chika ako sayo, Lilies. Hindi ko ito nasabi sa'yo kaya sasabihin ko na ngayon," aniya.
"Ano na naman 'yan, Tina?" Tanong ko sa kanya habang tinitingnan ko 'yong mga orders ngayong arawa.
"Mickel was here yesterday." Tumigil ako sa aking ginagawa nang marinig ko ang pangalan ni Mickel. Siya 'yong lalaking costumer ko kahapon na sobrang gwapo. Wait, did I just compliment him?
"Ano naman kung nandito siya kahapon, Tina? It's normal he's a costumer," sabi ko naman bago bumalik sa ginagawa ko.
"I feel something, Lilies. May hinihintay siya kahapon e," ani ni Tina.
Napatigil naman ako ulit sa ginagawa ko nang marinig na may hinihintay siya kahapon dito sa café. Sino naman kaya 'yong hinihintay niya? Is it his girlfriend? His family? His fiance? Or his wife and children? Ugh, goodness Lily! Why are you thinking these kind of things?

"Hoy," tawag ni Tina sa'kin kaya napailing na lang ako sa mga iniisip ko. Bakit ko nga ba iniisip ang mga 'yon? Ano bang pake ko kung totoo ang mga 'yon?
"Maybe he's waiting for his girlfriend," sabi ko na lang at bumalik na ulit sa aking ginagawa.
"No. I confirmed it yesterday. He waited for almost 5 hours. Noong malapit nang mag-ala-una, Lilies sinabi ko sa kanyang wala ka dahil unabsent ka. Chika-chika ko lang sa kanya gano'n feeling close," sabi niya at tumawa siya bago nagpatuloy ulit. "Haka-haka ko lang naman 'yon e pero hindi ako makapaniwalang umalis nga siya pagkatapos ko 'yong sabihin. He's waiting for you, Lilies!" She exclaimed. At kinikilig-kilig pa talaga siya.
I bit my lower lip because of what she said. This is not my first time actually. I have many suitors way back in high school until college and also now. But I'm not entertaining them anymore because of what happen to my family. And I can't explain why that simple word from Tina makes me feel something unusual. Kahit hindi naman ako sigurado kung ako nga ba talaga 'yong hinihintay niya kahapon.
"Ayieeee kinikilig ka 'no?" Sabi ni Tina at sinundot-sundot pa talaga 'yong tagiliran ko.
"Ano ba, Tina," saway ko sa kanya.
"Namumula ka oh. Ayieeeee kinikilig 'yan," Tina said teasing me more.
Nang akmang tatanggalin ko na 'yong heels ko ay agad naman siyang lumabas sa opisina ko na tuwang-tuwa pa rin. Napailing na lamang ako at ipinagpatuloy na 'yong ginagawa ko kanina.
The days went on. Kahit hindi ako naniniwala sa sinabi ni Tina na hinintay talaga ako ni Mickel noong Linggo heto ako at hinihintay siyang makita sa café. Four days had passed and today is Friday. Sa mga araw na inaabangan ko si Mickel hindi talaga siya dumating. Maybe Tina got it mistaken or maybe I just assumed much.
Baka sakto noong sinabi ni Tina na absent ako 'yon din 'yong oras na nag-message sa kanya 'yong kikitain niya na hindi ito makakapunta kaya ayon umalis siya agad. Yeah, maybe it is. Ano naman ang kailangan niya sa'kin kung ako nga ang hinihintay niya. We just met that day. Kaya wag ka nang maghintay ngayon, Lily at umasa na darating siya.

I took a deep breathed before doing the things I need to do. I'm making some new desserts today for tonight's order. Medyo naparami nga 'yong orders ngayong araw pero okay lang naman dahil masaya naman ako sa aking ginagawa.
Seryoso ako sa aking ginagawa nang biglang pumasok si Tina kaya napatigil ako at tiningnan siya na sabihin na kung ano man ang sasabihin niya.
"Alfred is looking for you."
I shook my head after hearing that name again. Noong Lunes pa 'yan pabalik-balik dito. He's my long time suitor way back in college. At kababalik niya lang dito galing Italy.
"Tell him I'm busy and I don't want to talk to him. At isa pa kapag may naghanap pa sa akin, Tina sabihin mong umuwi na ako," I said before doing my works again. Tumango lang si Tina at lumabas na.
I stretched my body after finishing the desserts for tonight's order. "Thank God, I'm done."
Inubos ko na 'yong kape ko at nag-ayos na para makauwi na kami ni Tina. It's already 9pm and we need to close the café.
Binalot ko muna 'yong mga desserts na ginawa ko at sakto naman noong natapos ako ay pumasok si Johnny sa kusina. Kaya sinabihan ko na siyang i-deliver 'yong mga desserts dahil kailangan na iyon mamayang 10pm at sinabi ko na rin sa kanyang umuwi na siya kaagad pagkatapos niyang ma-deliver 'yong mga orders. Tumalima naman siya agad at umalis na.
Lumabas na ako sa kusina at pumasok sa opisina ko. Kinuha ko na 'yong bag ko at sinuot na 'yong jacket ko bago ako lumabas. Habang palabas ako narinig ko pang may kausap si Tina. Lalapitan ko na sana siya nang napatigil ako dahil nakita kong si Mickel 'yong kausap niya. Halata sa itsura at ayos ni Mickel na kadarating niya lang sa café galing sa mahabang biyahe.
"You should go home Mickel the café is closed now," ani ni Tina na kiming ngumiti lamang.
"Is... Lily still here?" Tanong niya na nagpabilis nang tibok ng aking puso.
"She..." Tina trailed off. Nagdadalawang-isip siguro kung sasabihing nandito pa ako o umuwi na ako. "She went home already."
I saw some emotions on Mickel's eyes but he washed it away so I can't distinguish what kind of emotion was that.
"But she will work tomorrow," sambit ni Tina. Nakita ko namang napangiti ng konti si Mickel.
"I hope... I can see her tomorrow. I'll be leaving then." Tumango lamang si Tina at umalis na si Mickel.
Noong nakalabas na si Mickel doon pa lang ako lumapit kay Tina. "Gaga kanina ka pa ba diyan?" Tanong niya at tumango naman ako sa kanya. "Bakit hindi ka nagpakita? Hinahanap ka ni Mickel, Lilies. Mukhang galing sa biyahe pa 'yong tao tapos dumiretso pa talaga rito para makita ka kaso hindi ka nagpakita." Tina said and slapped my shoulder.
"I'm sorry okay. It's just... never mind," I said and took a deep breathed. "Hihintayin na lang kita sa kotse, Tina."
"Sige, sige mabilis lang ako." Tumango lang ako at lumabas na sa café.
I was going to open my car when someone called me from behind.
"Lily..."
I stiffened after hearing that voice. Hindi pa pala siya umaalis. Dahan-dahan naman akong lumingon at ngumiti ako no'ng nakaharap na ako sa kanya.
Nakita ko siyang ipinasok 'yong mga kamay niya sa bulsa ng kanyang pantalon. "I'm glad to see you," he said and I saw how happy he was. It was seen in his eyes.
I'm also happy. It's true now that he's waiting for me last Sunday. I don't know but my heart feels so good today. "I'm glad to see you too... Mickel."
I smiled at him and he also did the same. We genuinely smiled at each other with happiness in our eyes.
