ELLE
Currently, nasa venue na ako ng meet up namin ni Ms. Iona. Nagpaalam saglit si Kyle para magCR daw.
"Ms. Elle?" I beautiful no, a gorgeous woman said to me. "Yes?" I hesitantly answer her. She smiled and offered her hand to me. "I'm Iona Ms. Elle." She simply said. Literal na nagulat ako at agad na ni-reach out ang kamay ko sa kamay niya.
"I'm sorry for what happened earlier. I didn't recognize you, Ms. Iona." I said. She just smiled at me and shook her head. "No it's okay.. It's our first meeting right?" And then she laughed.
"Yes. By the way, you're very beautiful Ms. Iona. " I complimented her. "Naku, ano ba. Mas maganda ka kaya kaysa saakin!" She giggled. We both laughed. Hindi ko alam pero ang gaan-gaan ng loob ko sa kanya. Mukhang makakasundo ko tong si Iona ah.
"Oh, let's start discussing about your proposal.." She started.. "Actually, I'm planning to make a cafe. Specifically, a coffee shop. But I'm quite confused 'bout what design will I choose. " She said.. Pinakita niya saakin ang mga designs na gusto niya. Ngunit sa lahat ng designs na binigay niya saakin, isa ang nakakuha ng attention ko.
"I prefer this one Ms. Iona. Simple yet classy right? Hindi masyadong gusto ng mga customers yung masyadong dark colors or heavy colors. I believe that some would want a light colors but at the same time, classy siya.." Sabi ko. Napangiti naman siya.
"Well you know what? You and my boyfriend have the same thoughts about that design. So i think, yan na ang pipiliin ko?" And with that we both laughed.
"Yes, trust me Ms. Iona. Magugustuhan ng mga customers mo ang cafe mo." Paninigurado ko sa kanya. We both discuss pa other things about sa cafe niya. Umorder siya ng makakain and of course some drinks para saamin dalawa.
"I'll add one raspberry cake and a lemonade please.." Sabi ko doon sa waiter. Inulit niya lahat ng mga orders namin at pagkaalis ng waiter nagtatakang tinignan ako ni Ms. Iona.
"Mauubos mo yan Ms. Elle? I'm not offending you but with that sexy body of yours?" Hindi makapaniwalang sabi niya saakin. Napangiti naman ako.
"Actually, nandito ang asawa ko. He's also an architect but when we got married, his father gave their company for him to manage and.." I paused.
"I know my tummy looks so flat but I'm 2 months pregnant." I proudly said to her.. Halata sa kanya ang pagkabigla malamang ang payat2 ko tapos sasabihin kong buntis ako sinong di magugulat doon?
"Oh my! Congratulations to you and to your husband then!" She said happily.
"Thank you, Ms. Iona." Sabi ko. "We're too formal. You can call me Iona na lang. Hahahaha" She laughed.
"You can call me Elle then." Sabi ko.
"Everything's settled now, Right Elle?" She giggled.
"Everything's settled Iona." And with that we both laughed.
"I'm sorry if ngayon lang ako masyadong maraming tao sa CR eh.." Sabi ni Kyle pagkarating niya.
"Ahm." Kyle said nung mapansin niyang andito si Iona.
"Kyle meet Iona.. Iona meet Kyle, my husband." Pag iintroduce ko sa kanilang dalawa.
"Oh so you're Elle's Client? Nice meeting you, Iona." Kyle reached for his hand kay Iona. Iona also reached her hand to Kyle and offered shake hands.
"The pleasure is mine also, Kyle. I learned from Elle that you are expecting your first child right? Congratulations to the both of you." She said.
"Yes. Apparently, right after this, we'll be heading to our Family Doctor for her first check up.." Kyle said. Nagulat at napangiti si Iona dahil siguro sa excitement ni Kyle..
"Then I should go then Anyways, just call me if there's something wrong or ano pa man, Elle ah? Bye" Tumayo ako at nakipagbeso sa kanya. Nagpaalam na rin kami at agad na nagtungo sa kotse namin para magtungo na sa clinic ng Family Doctor namin.
