The Guy I Met Online Chapter Fifty Eight
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
The Guy I Met Online Chapter Fifty Nine
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.
The Guy I Met Online Chapter Sixty One
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

“Jowa mo na ba?” “No!” her answer came as quickly as denial. “I mean, we’re not…we’re just friends.” Pinagtaasan lang siya ng kilay ng dalawa. “I swear!” “Then why is he here? To celebrate an intimate family tradition?” “Papa invited him over, I have nothing to do with that.” “Wala ba siya’ng pamilya to celebrate the holidays with?” usisa ni Rich.
The Guy I Met Online Chapter Sixty Four
The Voltes Four had her cornerned at dinner. She expected that much, still she couldn’t believe how actually annoying the feeling is. Kumakain nga ang apat sa harap nila pero ang mga mata ng mga ito ay nakatutok kay Europe, na, surprisingly ay hindi alintana ang paninitig ng mga pinsan sa kanya. He’s surprisingly good at playing dumb. Good for him. Mukha’ng sinadya nila’ng i-corner sila ngayo’ng gabi, sa pinaka-malayo’ng table ba naman sila pumwesto, ‘yung tipong wala masyado’ng makakarinig. Isa pa, busy mag-usap-usap ang mga tao sa dining area, she doubts anyone would be poking their noses on their business given na may kanya-kanya silang mga chismis. After all, it’s not everyday that the whole family tree of Apolonio Acosta gets together for a dinner like this. “Hindi mo ba kami ipapakilala man lang, Ate?” pasaring na tanong ni Last, naka-taas ang kilay, may naglalaro’ng ngisi sa mga labi. How she badly want to pull her hair; alam n
The Guy I Met Online Chapter Sixty Five
It was almost twelve midnight and most of Asia’s family are still up, though some of them have gone up to bed early, the rest of them have decided to do a few shots. Karamihan mga pinsang lalaki ng dalaga, at mga kapatid niya, including himself. Europe couldn’t really say no to the Acosta’s now, could he? Fun fact (not really): the Acosta’s could seriously hold their liquors. They’ve been drinking for the whole two hours and a half now, and yet, none of them show any sign of being drunk. They still could talk without slurring, they can still walk straight, and he’s pretty sure that they would still remember everything that is happening around them. While he’s playing safe with the alcohol, Asia’s family was drinking with reckless abandon. Drink ‘til they drop. He carefully declined another drink. Hindi naman na rin siya pinilit ng mga ito, which he was glad about. He’s done with alcohol for the night. It’s not in his nature to drink u
