Chapter Fifty Four
“Hello, babe.”
Asia wasn’t imagining it, she swear she could her a smile in his voice. Something she didn’t imagine he’d what with the impression she had of him earlier. Pushing her phone away from her for a second, bahagya siyang napalunok. Kinurot pa niya ang sarili dahil baka ay nananaginip lang siya.
Binalik niya ulit sa tenga ang phone at nakinig.
“Babe? Are you there?”
She didn’t reply. Baka manginig lang ang boses niya and it might give her away.
“If this is

She decided to answer the call. Mukha kasi’ng na-i-istorbo na niya ang pahinga ng pinsan. She pulled her AirPods out and connected it to her phone. Hindi siya nagsalila. She waited until he said his hello, which he did. “Hello? Babe?” Babe? They’re not together pero bakit babe pa rin ang tawag nito sa kanya? They’re talking not as Liam and Carmela, but as Jae and Asia, so what gives? “Hmm?” “I wanted to apologize,” Asia felt her breath hitched. Was that a prank? April fools? Was he teasing her? Or a test or somethi— “But not for what I said, I meant that.” Oh. “I wanted to apologize for taking you by surprise with that, I should’ve waited for the right time to say that.” There was a nervous laugh elicited from Jae. “I didn’t mean to scare you or make you think I was some sick psycho stalker or anything, but I really like you. Like… a lot.” “Um

“Not really,” Lies. “Tapos na meeting niyo?” pag-iiba nalang niya sa usapan. “Actually, hindi pa.” nangunot ang noo niya. “I just excused myself for a moment, wanted to call you first,” parang kiniliti ang puso niya sa narinig dito, “baka kasi naghihintay ka, kasi diba sabi ko tatawag ako? We might be here for an hour pa, medyo marami pag-uusapan, e.” “That’s fine,” nangingiti’ng sagot niya rito, she can’t help it, kinikilig siya. Bakit ba? “You could’ve texted me nalang sana para ‘di abala sa inyo.” “Hindi ka abala,” may ngiti at assurance sa tono ng lalaki. “Besides, I wanted to.. hear your voice first.” Tuluyan na siya’ng napangiti sa sinabi nito. If paasa moves lang ‘to ng binata, congrats dahil umaasa na siya. And they haven’t even talked for a long time, well, at least, not as Jae and Awa at that. “Well…” ang tangi’ng nasagot niya nalang. There was a chuckle from the other

Wednesday afternoon, right after her meeting adjourned, hindi pa nga siya tuluya’ng nakakalabas sa conference room, tumunog ang notification ng phone niya: a message from Rafa. Rafa Migue: hi Asia, they decided na kumain nalang tayo sa labas for tonight tapos we can go to a bar or club or something oks lang ba ‘yun sa’yo? Asia A.: ofc, just text me w/c restaurant & what time I’ll be there may isang meeting nalang ako and I’d be free to go Nang mag-send na ang message niya sa kaibigan, she rose to her heels and marched out of the conference room. Wala si Mia sa may table nito pagdating niya sa harap ng opisina niya, baka ay may inaayos sa ginawang minutes kanina sa meeting. Pumasok siya ng opisina na deretso lang ang tingin, kaya ay

Ninang Tess, from the memories of when Awa was younger, was.. young and vibrant. The Tess she was facing right now has shown signs of old age: a few gray streaks, wrinkles. Na-realize niya kung gaano na katagal ng panaho’ng lumipas, her mother was gone for years now and yet it still feels as if it only just happened recently. “How have you been, hija?” Ninang Tess ushered her to the back of the restaurant where a French-inspired garden was situated: complete with a curved and gravelly pathways that leads to a pavilion by the lake, parterre and in the center sits a small limestone fountain (functional). Asia remembered all her previous trips to France and she felt exactly like she was in France. “It has been so long since we last seen each other.” “We’ve been alright, Ninang. Busy running our businesses.” “I heard. Your entertainment company’s doing good, I’m proud of you, hija.” “Thank you po,” “I’m sure your moth

Two and a half hours and three tipsy bodies later, Asia found herself seated at the cushioned couch in the VVIP room prepared by Max. ‘Yung mga kasama niya nasa baba, nag-sasayaw— sila Niel, Kian at Greg at Rafa, specifically. While Rence, Richard, Enzo and Europe were just at the other corner of the couch, talking while drinking on their drinks. Habang si Izza, nasa tabi niya, mabagal na sumisimsim sa beer niya. “Are you not going to join them?” she half shouted at Izza. The thing is, hindi sobrang ingay ng VVIP rooms, given nasa far right side siya ng second floor. “Mukha’ng nag-eenjoy sila Kian sa baba.” Max informed her that every VIP rooms were already taken, at dalawang VVIP rooms nalang ang available for the night. Ang alam niya, VVIP are exclusive only for private parties within the night party, and also to some very close family and friends of Max. Hindi naman sa hindi sila magkaibigan ni Max pero hindi naman sila sobrang close for him to o

If there was one more thing she’s good at, it’s pretending to be asleep when she isn’t. For all her life since, she’s mastered the art of pretending to be asleep, making everyone actually fell for it. Like, say, right at the moment. Asia spent the night with the rest of the operators in Europe’s… house. Well, it was a penthouse, actually. Europe promised to drive her off to the mansion first thing in the morning and there they are. Nasa passenger seat siya naka-upo, habang nasa likod si Rafa, nakahilata dahil sa hangover. She insisted on joining dahil ito raw ang nag-aya sa kanya and she felt responsible for her. Asia didn’t argue nor complain about it. Hindi sila nag-uusap ni Europe, naka-focus lang ito sa pagmamaneho. Since medyo malayo ang penthouse nito sa mansion ng mga Acosta, she just pretended to be sleeping kesa ang mapanisan siya ng laway dahil para’ng hindi naman siya nag-e-exist sa binata. She had no clue what ticked him off.

One thing about their family: marami sila. Like… a lot. Sabi pa ng isang Auntie niya, hindi sila maramot sa pamangkin at apo. They were blessed with a lot of family members, kaya sobrang dami niya’ng pinsan; and that means, sobrang dami niya ri’ng binibigyan ng regalo tuwing pasko at birthdays. One tradition of the family every Christmas season: uuwi silang lahat, no exemptions, sa probinsya kung saan pinanganak at lumaki ang great grandlolo nila— the man who started it all for them. Hindi nga lang sabay-sabay minsan, but the most important thing, lahat sila present sa Pasko at Bagong Taon. But imagine all of them boarding a plane together, they might as well bought their own aircraft dahil occupied nila lahat ng seats sa dami nila. Kahit i-divide sila into two groups, marami pa rin sila. Silang magpipinsan palang, puno na agad ang half part ng eroplano. The fact that half of them were already in the province and half of them still in the mansion, the first t

For the rest of their flight and until they landed, Awa was fidgeting on her seat, biting her lips or her recently polished nails. She couldn’t seem to be at ease, not after the embarrassing incident that happened at the mansion. Hindi lang siya makapaniwala na matatanong ng Papa niya ang bagay na iyon, but she couldn’t even believe how small the world really is. Sure, being in the corporate industry, people are bound to meet, one way or another, pero masyado naman ata’ng cliché na magkakilala ang Papa niya at si Europe. Naalala niya tuloy ‘yung voice over sa isang news channel: “business is all about making connections.” Europe and Asia having the same weird names na pareho pa’ng galing sa continent might be considered coincidence, but for her father to actually know the guy is just over the word coincidence. But, oh well, that is the corporate world for you. It wasn’t until she finally saw her cousins that she started to relax. They were playing
