MATTHEW was so annoyed because he didn't see Gabriel's car on the road. "What? He's so fast to drive? Oh yeah, his new car was amazing," feeling grumpy while he drive and he don't now where to go."Damn! Now I'm hungry!" Pinasya na lamang niya na kakain sa unang restaurant na madadaanan niya.
When Gabriel saw a restaurant, he entered the car and parked it in front of it. He knows the restaurant; he has eaten here once; it's an Italian restaurant. After he parked as before, Rosy quickly got off. Gabriel wanted to move fast to open the door for her, but the woman was faster than him, so he shook his head and just smiled. If only another woman was with him, she would not move from where they were sitting. They waited for him to open the car door. 
Hinihintay naman ni Rosy ang boss na lumabas sa sasakyan nito.
Mabilis na lumabas sa sasakyan niya si Gabriel because she was waiting for him. At saka mainit pero sa tingin niya parang hindi nito alintana ang pagdampi ng sikat ng araw sa balat. He walked big step nang makalapit na siya."Let's go, it's too hot here." 
Pagpasok nila sa loob restaurant agad silang sinalubong ng waiter.
"Happy lunch time, sir, ma'am," sabi nito.
"For two people, please," sabi ni Gabriel dito.
"Follow me, sir, ma'am."
Gabriel nodded to the waiter.
Pagkaupo nila Rosy sa lamesang inilaan sa kanila ng waiter."Wow! Ang ganda naman dito!" hindi niya napigilan ang sarili na mag salita.
"Yeah, the ambiance here was good, and it was so cozy too."
Tumango-tango si Rosy tama kasi ang sinabi nito. At sa isip niya heto na naman ang lalaking ito nag-uumpisa na naman sa englesan. Dinampot niya ang menu na nasa harapan. Ano kaya ang masarap? "Creamy cheese pasta," basa niya.
"Try that, Rosy, it was so delicious," he suggested because he had already eaten the pasta and enjoyed the flavor.
"Sige ito na lang ang sa akin," binaba na niya menu.
"Sir, ma'am, ready too order?" tanong ng waiter.
"Yes, give us the creamy cheese pasta, and cheese-stuffed chili, pizza caprese, spicy shrimp pasta, and BBQ ribs."
Napatingin si Rosy kay Gabriel ang dami kasi nitong inorder sa kanya isa lang. Meron pala itong big appetite.
"Anything else, sir?"
"Rosy, what kind of drink do you want?"
"Ah, coke na lang ang sa akin, sir."
"Cola isn't good, Rosy. Give us two mixed fruit juices. That all."
"Sir, I will just repeated your order. Creamy cheese pasta, cheese-stuffed chili, pizza caprese, spicy shrimp pasta, and BBQ ribs, and two mixed fruit juice."
"Yes, " tugon ni Gabriel.
Kaagad naman umalis ang waiter.
Katahimikan muli ang namagitan kina Rosy at Gabriel. Para kay Rosy wala siyang itatanong o sasabihin sa boss dahil ngayon lang sila nagkita at saka alam niya na hindi na ito mauulit pa.
Gabriel looked at Rosy. He feels good while looking at her, ewan ba niya ang gaan ng loob niya sa babae. He never felt this kind of feeling for any woman he met.
Naasiwa bigla si Rosy alam kasi niyang nakamata sa kanya ang kaharap ayaw naman niyang tumingin dito baka maduling siya. Tuloy parang gusto niyang sabihin sir, baka matunaw ako niyang. Ahay lumang linyahan ito lalo na sa mga drama rito sa Pilipinas.
"Can we talk now, while our food isn't yet served, Rosy?" basag ni Gabriel sa katahimikan sa pagitan nila.
Dito na tumingin si Rosy sa kaharap."Oo naman, sir." tugon niya.
"So, now I will answer what you asked me just now in the car. Well, be..." Gabriel stopped talking because Rosy was interpreting.
"Teka lang, sir. " Tinaas pa ni Rosy ang kamay para pigilan ito sa pagsasalita.
"Why, Rosy?"
"Tagalog please, para magkaintindihan tayo nang mabuti, sir."
Napangiti Gabriel really he admire her. She's so honest with herself."Okay, kung iyan ng gusto mo, Rosy."
Napangiti si Rosy. Kung magandang pakinggang ang accent nito sa English mas maganda sa tagalog ang boses nito.
"Ganito kasi iyon, Rosy, Nakita ko ang profile mo sa table ni Shofia. Tamang dumaan ako sa office niya. Ewan ko ba my eyes fixed sa photo mo. Well, masasabi ko you are beautiful. But hindi iyon ang dahilan I don't why. So, I took a picture to your profile. At umalis na ako dahil wala naman si Shofia. " paliwanag nito.
Nagtaka si Rosy bakit nasa lamesa ng boss sa departamento nila ang profile niya? Ah baka ililipat siya. Nasabi kasi nito minsan sa kanya.
"So, I call, Shofia, nang nasa office na ako gaya ng unang nasabi ko, ewan ko bakit ang gaan ng loob ko sa iyo e, picture mo palang ang nakita ko."
Aba lumalayag agad ang isipan ni Rosy sa narinig niya. May gusto ba ang boss sa kanya? Na love at first sight ba ito s picture niya? Whoa Rosy ang haba ng buhok mo. Need niya ng confirmation so lubusin na niya tutal ngayon lang sila magkaharap nang ganito."Hindi na ako mag-paligoy-ligoy pa sir, tatanungin na kita."
"Sige, tell me, Rosy."
"May gusto ka ba sa akin, sir?" straight to the point talaga na tanong niya.
"Well, honestly, Rosy. I didn't no yet. Basta iba ang nadamara ko para sa iyo."
Para kay Rosy mabuti naman. Honestly rin hindi niya type ang boss. Guwapo kung guwapo mayaman kung sa mayaman pero, wala e. Tingin niya wala silang chemistry. Biglang nag-flash sa isipan ang lalaking may-ari ng pinuntahan nilang auto car. Napakunot siya bakit pumasok sa isip ang lalaking iyon sa tingin nga niya suplado ito.
"Why, are you suddenly frowned, Rosy. Something wrong?" napansin kasi niya ito.
Napahawak tuloy sa noo niya si Rosy. At hinaplos-haplos ito tila ba inaayos."Wala sir, gutom lang ito," alibi niya.
Napatingin bigla si Gabriel sa hallway."Yeah, me too. I'm hungry. Why did it take so long to bring our food?"
Tama naman bumungad ang waiter na nag-assist sa kanila na tulak-tulak ang trolley na lagayan ng mga pagkain."Oh, it's coming now, Rosy. I wish it's our food."
Wish lang din ni Rosy na sana ay sa kanila nga ito. Para matapos na sila at nang makauwi na siya.
Matthew parked his car in front of the restaurant that he saw first. After he got off, he frowned when he looked carefully at the car next to him. He knew this was Mr. Magno's automobile because it was brand new. Suddenly, his demeanor improved, and his expression relaxed. To enter the restaurant, he took a large step. Even his feet sprung into life.
When Matthew was about to go inside, Suddenly, a woman calls his name from behind him.
"Matthew, is that you?"
Matthew stopped walking and looked to see who'd called his name. "Amanda?"
"I know it's you, kahit na likod mo palang ang nakita ko, you had a date here my dear cousin?"
Napailing si Matthew."Date ka diyan, I'm alone, how about you, may date ka ba rito?"
"Yes my friends. A woman, " pagtatama nito."Join us, sabi mo you're alone right? "
"No, may kasama ka di ba? "
"Oo, tama lang ipakilala kita sa kanila, malay mo. You will fall in love with one of them, right? "
Napailing si Matthew sa tinuran ng pinsan. But maybe he's already fell in love to the woman who kissed him. If he was attracted to one of her friends, maybe his feelings for that woman who kissed him were false. Tutal wala naman siyang kasama. But wait, did he admit himself that he loved someone already whoa? Matthew shook his head because, like someone whispering in his ear?"Okay, let's go inside, Amanda."
"Sure, I already have a reservation here."
"That's good, let's go, " really kanina pa niyang gustong pumasok sa loob ewan ba niya nananabik ang kanyang puso na makita ang babaeng iyon.
At that moment, Rosy and Gabriel was eating quietly. Sa pagkain talaga tinuon ni Rosy ang attention. Hindi kasi siya sanay na kumain na meron nagmamarites. Pakiramdam niya pag ganon hindi siya mabubusog kahit na nakadalawang plato na siya.
Paminsan-minsan napapatingin si Gabriel kay Rosy. And then napapangiti siya because she was so alive while eating.
When Matthew entered inside the restaurant. His eyes was rolling. Hinahanap agad kung narito nga sina Gabriel. Nakasunod lang siya sa pinsan na sinusundan naman ang waiter na sasamahan sila sa naka-reserve na lamesang para sa kanila.
"Ma'am, sir, your table." sabi ng waiter.
"Thank you, " tugon ni Amanda."Cous, let's sit down." sabi nito kay Matthew na busy ang mata.
Hindi yata narinig ni Matthew ang sinabi ng pinsan."Matthew, are you looking someone?" napalakas nitong tanong.
Umabot sa pandinig ni Rosy ang pangalan Matthew na sinabi ng babaeng nasa kabilang lamesa. Napaangat agad siya ng tingin. Tama ang lalaking minsan pumasok sa isip ito. Nagmuni tuloy isipan niya. Bakit narito ang lalaking iyan? Gusto nuyang pektusan ang sarili sempre kakain din restaurant kaya ito. Ang nasa isip kasi niya baka sinusundan siya. Masyado yata siyang usyuming ngayon.
Tamang gumawi ang mata ni Matthew sa kabilang lamesa. Then the woman who was eating, their eyes met. Matthew's heart jumped. And a seductive smile appeared on his lips.
Napahawak naman bigla sa dibdib niya si Rosy, paano kasi bigla na lang bumilis ang pagpintig ng kanyang puso. Naman nakakita lang siya ng mapanhalinang ngiti e, nataranta na ang kanyang puso.
Gabriel noticed what Rosy did. Paanong hindi niya makikita ito bawat galaw yata ng kaharap napapansin niya."What happened to you, Rosy did you choked?" kanyang tanong.
"Huh? Hi-hindi naman, sir." Umaling pa siya.
Kinuha ni Gabriel ang basong may tubig."Drink water first."
Agad kinuha ni Rosy ito at uminom baka pag hindi nagtagal, mabibilaukan siya dahil sa tingin ng lalaking nakatayo.
Amanda frowned because her cousin was just standing looked to the woman in other table. Kinalabit niya ito sa kamay. Napatingin naman si Matthew sa pinsan."Sit down," sabi nito.
Tumango lang si Matthew dito. Then his eyes went back to that woman again.
Muling napatingin si Rosy sa lalaking nakatayo pa rin. Hindi ba ito uupo? Tatayo na lang ba para tignan siya. Parang gusto niyang mag asyuming nang bongga kung makatingin kasi ito parang may pinapahiwatig ba na may gusto ito sa kanya? My gosh Rapunzel na Rapunzel talaga ng buhok niya ngayon araw ito. Lucky day yata niya ngayon two handsome men and rich men ba naman sila, hay ang sarap mag day dreaming pag ganito. At gusto niyang sumigaw sa kilig. Pero hindi puwede ang dami kayang tao baka sabihin pa nila nababaliw na siya. At baka ang kasama iwanan na lang siya bigla dahil nahihiya ito sa ginawa.
Gabriel suddenly looked behind him to see who Rosy was looking at. When he saw the person, he frowned and thought about it. Was he following them?
