"Ma'am, ready to deliever na po lang mga cakes." tumango lang ako at ngumiti.

Katatapos ko lang kasing idesign lang sampung cakes na order ng mga customers ko.

Huminga ako ng malamin at lumabas ng kusina. Bumungad sa akin ang maraming customers at maraming mga waiters na busy. Lumapit naman sa akin si Hailey, siya ang assistant manager ko sa BS cafe nato.

"Maam, marami pong nag order ng bitter black cake. Marami pong broken ngayon." Marahang bulong niya. Napatingin naman ako sa cashier at nakita ko ngang sunod-sunod ang order.

Muli akong tumingin kay Hailey at ngumiti. Best seller kasi ang bitter black cake tuwing last week of the month.

"Hailey, ikaw muna bahala rito magpapahinga muna ako. Tawagan mo na lang ako pag may nagreklamo." mabilis siyang tumango at iniwan ako.

Marahan akong ngumiti ng mapansin na maraming tao ang Cáfe ngayon. Parang kailan lang ng una etong binuksan.

It was all because of him. But I guess it will forever be a memory that I would never think of again. I sighed and headed to my office. I sat on my chair and opened my laptop. As I was typing, my phone rang.Kumunoot ang noo ko ng makita ang caller id sa phone ko. After so many days ngayon lang ulit ako ginambala ng impakto kong pinsan.

"Hello, this should be important Ced. I don't waste time."

("Calm down. You need to come to the hospital. Lola needs us---") I ended the call and hurriedly tooked my stuff. Mabilis akong lumabas at lumapit kay Hailey. Sinabihan ko muna siya bago nagmamadaling umalis.

I hurriedly went to my car and started the engine. I drove in a moderate speed. Thankfully, there was no traffic along the road.

I find my way to Serviano General Hospital. I look for a parking space to park my car. After parking my car, I ran towards the elevator.

I took a deep breath before heading to the information desk. I ask the room number of my grandmother.

I hurriedly went back to the elevator and went inside. The door was about to close. When someone prevent the door from closing. I stared at him. Shock, was all written on my face. Questions crowded my head. How come he end up being here? What is he doing here?

He was wearing a black tuxedo. His brown hair matches his hazelnut brown eyes. His stares are cold than ever.

"Tatayo ka lang ba dyan? Move." his cold baritone voice awakened my senses. That voice that makes me shivers down my spine.

I quietly move aside without saying a word. Humigpit ang hawak ko sa strap ng bag ko. Ng magsara ang pintuan ay nanatili lamang akong tahimik.

"Which floor?" tipid na tanong niya.

"10th floor." tugon ko at hindi siya sinulyapan. Nanatili lamang kaming tahimik.

Deretso lamang ang aking tingin sa pintuan. Dinama ko lang ang bawat kilos niya at di lumingon. Ilang minuto ang lumipas ng tumunog ang elevator hudyat na nasa 10th floor na.

Hinintay kong bumukas ang pintuan. Lumabas ako at huminga ng malalim. Nakakailang hakbang mpa lamang ako ng marinig ko siyang magsalita.

"Ms. Serviano." Napatigil ako at napapikit bago tumingin. Sumalubong sa akin ang kanyang mga titig na nagpapabilis ng tibok ng puso. Marahan akong huminga at hinintay ang kanyang sasabihin. This guy, still affect my whole being.

"Nice to see you again." Sabi niya bago tuluyang nagsara ang pintuan ng elevator.

Napatulala ako sa sinabi niya. What does he mean? Does this have to do with his upcoming wedding? Or it is about us?

Doon na lamang ako natauhan ng maisip iyun. Marahan akong umiling at mapait na ngumiti. It will never be about us.

"Nice to see you too, Mr Cuevas." bulong ko habang nakatitig pa rin sa pintuan ng elevator at tsaka naglakad papalayo.

And for the second time, I felt my heart beating.
