uwi ka na muna sa condo mo, i'll just drive myself kasi maghahanap pa ako ng hotel near the airport

hotel?

yup. alangan naman ipinagdrive mo na nga ko ikaw pa magtaxi pauwi

no

huh? anong no?

bakit ka naman maghohotel?

wala na yung apartment binenta ko na po a month after ko magwork sa macau

so?

what do you mean so? isn't it obvious na kelangan ko ng hotel room for the next few days kasi sa sunday pa flight ko?

you'll stay with me, maine. what makes you think papayagan ko ang girlfriend ko na maghotel eh may condo naman tayo

tayo?

yes bie. may condo tayo, so we will stay there. and you do not have any more flight to catch

rj... hindi ba masyad---

wait lang bie, i need to get this...

she motioned ok to him thinking it might be an important call. she just looked out of the window to gaze at the view and to give some privacy.

yes?

".-."

i just got back. pauwi pa lang ako sa condo

".-."

nauna sila lester na umuwi

".-."

i think i don't need to answer that

".-."

ok. sige na. diretso na ko jan

".-."

give me 30. sige bye

after he finished with the call, i moticed his mood changed. he was quite irritated but when he glanced her way, he gave him a smile and spoke

bie, ok lang ba sayo punta muna tyo sa thirsty gambler may problema daw kasi or gusto mo hatid muna kita sa condo malapit lang naman yun sa TG.

go to where you needed to be. hintayin na lang kita

thanks bie. oo nga pala, you were saying something kanina... what was it?

ahh that's ok mamaya ba lang, it's not urgent naman. ano nga pala yung thirsty gambler?

ah that's the bar na kinwento ko sayo na inopen ko. may problema daw dun sa shipment nung mga cigar

oh ok. sige punta na muna tayo dun. we'll talk later

thanks bie

he held my hand, kissed the back of it and continued driving. after a good 20 minutes, we arrived in TG. he parked the car and asked me to go inside with him i told him i'll fix myself first and will just follow him in a few minutes. he kissed my hand then exited the car. i fixed myself just in case they have some guests just so i look decent, i turned off the engine got my purse and climbed out of the car. the guard greeted me and politely opened the door of the bar. as i walked in, the girl standing in one of the cigar humidors smiled and said "ms. maine, sydney po," she smiled and extended her hand which i gladly took. "nasa office po si sir rj kausap yung supplier, akyat na po kayo, first door to your left po". i thanked her and made my way towards the office. i noticed that the door was ajar so i peeked inside it took me only three seconds to turn my back and hurriedly made my way out of the place. in a span of five minutes i was already cursing myself and driving  with no location in mind, all i know is that i needed to get out of there. fast.
