Y/N's POV

Mabilis na natapos ang meeting pero inabot din kami ng halos isa at kalahating oras. Agad din akong tumayo para mag paalam kina Engineer Valdez. Tricia is waiting alone.

"I'm amazed, Architect." Aniya at kinamayan ako.

Inabot ko naman ito at tipid na ngumiti sa kaniya. "Thank you, Sir."

Tumango tango siya and he tapped my shoulders. Lumapit siya sa tenga ko at bumulong.

"I heard Vice President Leni's middle child is here," he said. "Where's the other one? Jillian, am I right?"

Nang marinig ko 'yon ay agad na nag igting ang tenga ko. He's always like this tuwing matatapos ang meeting.

"Jillian is not here, Sir."

"Then who's here? The Doctora of the family? Doctora Tricia?"

I tried to remain calm. "Yes, Sir."

"I see, I heard from my son nandito raw s'ya,"

Hindi ako sumagot.

"My son likes her,"

"I didn't bring Tricia here para pag piyestahan siya,"

He laughed and slapped my arms nang pabiro. "Arki, kalma. Hindi naman sa ganon. You know, inaadore lang siya ng anak ko,"

Sa gitna nang pag uusap namin ay bumukas ang pinto at pumasok 'yong lalaki kanina. Lumapit siya sa amin.

"Arki, meet my son," he started at inakbayan 'yong lalaki. "Miguel, from your engineering department. Greet him, anak." utos niya.

"Good evening, Architect."

Inaabot niya sa akin ang kamay niya pero tinitigan ko lang ito. Binalik ko ang tingin ko kay Engineer Valdez.

"I already met him a few hours ago,"

"Really? That's great, madali mo s'yang mailalakad kay Doctora Tricia,"

"I like her, Arki. I heard Doc Tricia is single naman daw po,"

Nilagay ko ang kamay ko sa bulsa ng pants ko at tinitigan silang mag ama. I looked at them from head to toe.

Mag ama nga, magkaugali rin, e.

"What do you think, Arki? I think they're a really great match!" He laughed and tapped my shoulders.

"Stop touching me," I warned him. "With all due respect, Sir," I turned my gaze to his son. "And to you, honestly speaking, I think Doc Tricia is not interested to have a thing with you."

"Architect!?" Engineer Valdez shouted. Lahat ng tao sa kwartong 'yon ay napatingin.

"If you don't have any more important thing to say, I'll go now."

After I said that, lumabas na ako. Nakakairita ang ugali nilang dalawa. Kahit kay Jillian noon ay ginawa 'yan ni Engineer Valdez, doon sa isa pang anak niya. Ano bang akala niya sa magkapatid na 'to? Madali makuha?

Hindi sa ayaw kong magkaroon ng love life si Jill noon, at si Tricia ngayon. Pero iba ang dating ng Miguel na 'yon. Iba ang tingin n'ya kay Tricia, 'yon bang hindi naman pure ang intention and for fun lang?

May sense ba yung naiisip ko?

"Gets mo ba ako?" I asked my secretary who's walking beside me.

"Po?" Gulat s'yang napatingin sa akin.
