Dance with Me

Chapter 4

Alliyah's POV

Liningon ko ang direksiyon kung saan nakatingin si yesha. And there! I saw five Men walking towards us.

'Yung nahuhuli sa likod na may nakalagay na earpods sa tainga, long brownish hair na nakasuot ng white v-neck shirt underneath his denim jacket paired with black jeans. Mukha siyang walang pake sa mundo, he has this intimadating aura. 'Yung isa na nasa kanan ni yhuan, ay nakangiti na parang may kinekwento kay yhuan, his feature looked so hard but he looked jolly so he seemed approachable, Completely different from his looks. 'Yung isa naman na nasa kaliwa ni yhuan ay may black na black na buhok, naka-white button down polo with slacks as his bottom. May nakasabit na coat sa braso niya na parang kagagaling lang niya sa isang meeting. At 'yung kausap niya naman ay may badboy look, really. He has piercings on his left ears(that's two), then a cross piercing on his right ear. His hair is kinda messy but it looked like it was natural. It make him more looked-like a badboy. Group of friends, indeed. And ofcourse there's yhuan in the middle. Hands on his pocket wearing a white t-shirt tucked in his maong jeans with belt. Walang itulak-kabigin sa kanilang magkakaibigan. Their features screams Attractiveness.

"Hey, dude!" The one beside yhuan('yung jolly na hard ang features) greeted yesha beside me. Yesha rolled her eyes at the man. The Man gave a low chuckled. Something's smells fishy...

"Hey, Yhuan! What are y'all doing here?" Yesha asked her cousin. Nag-eexist ba ako sa mata nila? Bakit parang walang nakakapansin sa'kin? Multo na ba ako? Gago, 'wag naman!

"Mag-ddrive thru siguro kami, tapos sasagasaan kita." The Man beside yhuan, again said. Yesha eventually stand up with her eyebrows crossed.

"How dare you! Eh kung ikaw kaya sagasaan ko! And you're not even the one I asked!" Yesha said while containing her annoyance towards the man. They looked cute together. Bahagyang nakatingala si yesha dahil mas matangkad sa kaniya 'yung lalaki.

"Okay na sana kaso 'yung tagalog mo... Bumaliko." The Man is really testing her patience, he even leaned towards yesha's face to see her reaction, fully. So, he got what he deserved, i guess. Yesha slapped him. Hard.

But it seems like the Man doesn't care at all, he even smiled! He smiled after the slap?! Tf is that?

Hinila ni yhuan sa balikat 'yung lalaki dahil baka mag-cause pa ng away sa restaurant. Tinapik-tapik ni yhuan 'yung balikat nung lalaki habang umiiling. May binulong pa siya pero hindi ko na gaanong nadinig.

Yesha harshly sat down beside me. Tumahimik ang paligid. In fact pwede mo na ngang marinig kahit 'yung pag-nguya nila. Kahit pati pag-angat ng kutsara maririnig mo na nga eh. Sa lakas ng tunog ng sampal ni yesha na nag-echo sa buong floor ng restaurant. Grabe.

"Wait here." I said and excused myself. Lumapit ako sa pinto na ang pwede lang makapasok ay ang mga staff.

Binati ako ng ilang mga waitresses na nagpapahinga sa loob. Dumeretso ako kung saan ang mini-office.

I opened the door and saw chef Aldrin reading something.

"Hey chef." I greeted him, to make him acknowledge my pressence.

"Oh, hey alli! Kumusta? Upo ka. Sabi nga ni Sir Ruther ikaw daw mag-taste ng bago naming ilalabas na dish!" He eventually open that topic. I know that kuya already told me this pero I'm not here for that reason.

"Ah, later. Can you do me a favor, chef?" I asked. I know this may sound weird but this is I think the best desicion that needs to happen now, because it may affect the restaurant's customers if ever na mag-cause ng gulo dito dahil sa kanila. Hindi naman sobrang gulo. Gulo na medyo makakasagabal sa katahimikan ng resto.

"Can you exclusively closed the restaurant for an hour or two?" I asked. I know I have the rights to do that. Pero this is chef. Aldrin's post(sa kanyang place 'to. Sa kanya 'to binigay ni kuya, this is his responsibility.) Chef is a bit shocked. He stayed silent for a minute to process what i just said. He cleared his throat and said. "Pardon?"

"Chef, Can you closed the restaurant for about an hour or two. Kasi I'm here with my friends and--" hindi na niya pinatapos ang sasabihin ko agad na siyang tumango at tumayo na para sabihan ang mga crew'.

And after 10 minutes the Restaurant is already closed for us. I thanked chef for doing that. I went back to where yesha is.

Nakakunot ang noo niya habang nakataas ang kamay na parang tumatawag ng waiter. The waiter was about to approach her but I stop that saying na ako na. Tatanungin niya lang naman kung bakit nagsara ang resto.

I sat down beside her and immediately she asked. "Girl, what happened? Why naman pina-close nila this Restaurant? I mean are we supposed to get out too? Then, Let's go!" Dire-diretsong sabi niya. Napailing nalang ako. I hold her bag to pull her back to her chair.

"Hindi tayo aalis, kakain pa tayo. Kinausap ko 'yung nag-mamanage ng branch na 'to at sinabi ko na ipasara panandalian kasi baka mag-away 'yang mga 'yan." Sabi ko at inginuso 'yung mga nakaupo sa kabilang lamesa. Nangunot naman ang noo ni yhuan dahil sa ginawa kong pag-nguso. Feeling niya naman gusto ko siya ikiss -.-

"Oh. How did you do that? I mean, do you pay them to exclusively close this restaurant?" Tanong ni yesha na nakakunot ang noo at bahagya pang inilapit sa'kin ang pagmumukha niya.

"Hindi ah! Kinausap ko lang 'yung nagmamanage dito kasi this restaurant is my kuya's resto." I explained. She smiled widely. Pumalakpak pa ng konti na parang sea lion. -.-

"I knew it! Those greetings! And how the staff treat us! I knew it!" Paulit-ulit niyang sinabi ang 'I knew it!' Habang tinuturo ako.

"Kain na tayo." Sabi ko matapos ilapag ng waitress 'yung pagkain namin. Hindi ko na pinansin 'yung mga lalaki doon, aba! Umorder sila ng kanila 'no!
