Chapter 3: That first encounter.

Just the way you are.

Three days after Sam's arrival from Singapore, Simon invited her for dinner on a fancy restaurant, the purpose is for him to settle things that has to be done, coz he realize Sam didn't understand clearly that he wants to end  their relationship. 

"Babe, I really don't know what to say, thanks for inviting me for dinner, I find this really sweet of you" Sam said smiling and looking directly to Simon's eyes in middle of their dinner  "sabi ko na nga ba, hindi mo ako matitiis, you know we've already settled things naman when I was still in Singapore diba, kaya eto I'm really happy you understand"

"That's not what you think, Sam" Simon replied "I didn't invite you for dinner just coz I'm being sweet to you, I just really wanna clear things out, kasi apparently, you didn't get it."

"What do you mean babe? Diba na ayos naman natin 'to, we're okay right? diba? okay naman tayo, nag apologize na ko, we've talked on the phone na and naintindihan mo naman ako diba?" Sam asking, ignoring what Simon has to say, She hold Simon's hands on top of the table, trying to convince him "Please babe, don't do this to me. you know how much I love you"

Simon shook his head and remove his hands from Sam's "No Sam, I really think this is the right thing to do, I'm formally and officially breaking up with you" Sam suddenly burst into tears, totally speechless and It was really hard for Simon to look at her  but that's just the right time to let it all out.

"I'm sorry, pero don't worry, if we can't save  the relationship, we can atleast remain good friends, kahit bestfriends pa if you want, alam mong special ka parin naman saakin and I ---"  

"NO!" Sam interrupted with her voice loudened, it was a mix of loneliness and anger for her "Di ako papayag! We can't be friends Simon, coz you are my boyfriend! you're mine. I don't care if you're breaking up with me but I'll tell you this" Sam stood up and grabe her shoulder bag "I will do anything para bumalik ka saakin, kahit ano pa yan!" she finally walked out and left. Simon felt that certain relief and though Sam told him she'll not stop until she have him again, he doesn't really care coz he's kinda sure it'll never happen again. 

 

Planning to start the day right, Kim woke up early to have a jog within their subdivision before she goes to her work at the botique and in the hotel as well, She was looking like a y sporty chic on her tight jogging pants and hanging sports sando  which exposed her curves. 

"O, bakit ang aga mo ata nagising anak?" Emma, who was still in her night gown asked when she found Kim in the kitchen preparing something. "Hi mommy, good morning! Coffee?" Kim greeted, showing the mug of coffee on her hand. "Sure, thank you. teka, Mag jo-jog ka?" she asked seeing Kim's exercise get-up.

Kim nodded smiling "Yes mom, tagal ko na kasi di nakaka-jogging kasi puro work eh. minsan late na ko nakakauwi kaya di ako nagigising ng maaga, just trying to start the day right, tsaka pampawala stress, pressure" 

Emma smiled reaching to the cup of coffee KIm prepared for her "That's good my dear" She said "Ay oo nga pala, I almost forgot, bago ka pala dumeretsong hotel later, I want you to come with me, may bibigay ako sayong customer" 

Kim sat down beside her mom in the kitchen table and have their coffee together "Customer?" she wondered "Oo, customer for your designed bags, kasi my friend's birthday is on next month daw tapos yung gusto niyang give-aways for their guests e bags daw para naman maiba" 

"wow, are you serious mommy?" Kim said surprised "Oo naman anak, kaya sa'yo daw siya mag papagawa ng mga bags, for guys and for girls" 

Kim happily hugged her mom "Aww thank you mommy! super thank you, thank you, thank you!" their conversation went on before she head out for a jog, they talked more of some details about this customore, this was just the perfect  time for the botique, she tought. 

 

On that same hour, Simon was driving downtown to a subdivision very early to fetch his team mate who he offered a ride for them to head to their early basketball practice together. while driving, an earphone is on his right ear, he was on the phone with Rico talking about what happened during his last night's dinner with Sam.

"O ano naman naging reaction niya?" Rico asked, overheard on the phone line. "Ayun, she cried pare. Di niya natanggap na im formally breaking up with him."

"Kawawa naman si Sam, tsong. I'm sure may halong inis nanaman yun, baliw sa'yo yun eh." Rico teased. 

" E ano pa nga ba, pero alam mo, when I dropped those words, I didn't regret a thing, only means, I meant everything I said, wala eh, ayoko na talaga" Simon explained "Tapos eto pa pala, She's like threatening me, na hindi daw siya papayag and she'll do anything para mabalik daw ako sakaniya" 

"Woaaah! so scary, man.! Baka ma siraan yung ng tuluyan, lagot ka kay tita fina, tsong" Rico laughed hard.

Simon finally arrived at the subdivision after 30 mins, the guards at the gate automatically let him in with the direction his friend told them, Simon had ended the phone call with Rico that time and while he was driving along the subd, finding his friend's house, he notice somone at the middle of the street, and it happens to be Kim, who's jogging and  stopped in the middle to fix the tie of her sneakers. "Tss, bakit naman nasa gitna pa 'tong nag aayos ng tali niya sa sapatos" Simon thought, he then pushed his car horn (bumusina) for Kim to get out of the way but unfortunately she didn't heard of if because Kim's listening to her ipod on a loud volume.

without hearing something but the music on her ipod, she stood up after she has done of tying her sneakers and she noticed the car behind her  back, and when Kim pulled off  her earphones,  "Ahh!" she was shocked and trip over the rubber humps next to her and fell down the floor. Simon got out of his car when he saw what happened and went near to help Kim 

"Ouuuch..." Kim cried of the pain she felt when her right elbow hit the floor. 

Simon hold her arms, trying to help her stand up "okay ka lang ba miss?"

"Do I look like I'm okay?!" Kim asked angrily and remove her arms from Simon's "Wag mo nga ko hawakan!" 

"Fine, sorry" 

"Anong sorry?! pano kung mukha ko yung nasubsob sa floor? ha!?"

"So you're saying kasalanan ko? bakit naman kasi nasa gitna ka miss, ang laki laki ng kalsada o." Simon asked showing his hand gestures.

"Well it's none of your businness, can't you see, I'm tying my sneakers! sana nag antay ka diba? tatabi naman ako eh. bumubusina ka pa!" Kim said still holding her right elbow.

"yun na nga eh, bumubusina na nga ko hindi ka pa tumatabi, e kasi naman,  ang lakas lakas siguro ng volume ng ipod mo, you tripped on the floor and you hurt your elbow, well, it's not my problem" 

"Kapaaaaal! I hate you! super duper! Napaka ungentleman mo!" Kim shouted with extreme annoyance.

"Miss, hindi ako ungentleman, ikaw nga eh,  galit na galit ka well infact, hindi naman kita nabangga, maybe you're just too clumsy. tsaka, and look,  napaka sungit mo, sayang... ang ganda ganda mo pa naman" Simon said smiling, teasing her. 

"Arrrgghhh!!!" she yelled for the last time before she walked out and it made Simon giggled.

He then went back to his car and that smile was still on his face, realizing that  he didn't feel any annoyance towards the girl, but instead, he's actually mesmerized by her beauty and her toughness though their encounter turns to be not so good, Simon even wishes it's not the last time she'll see her.
