Chapter Eleven [Dedicated to lostandfragile]
August 22, 2021. 7:12 am.
Maaga akong pumasok ngayon. Pupuntahan kasi namin yung location kung saan ipapatayo yung clothing line ni Kath.
Which means... more time for us to be together. Pero feeling ko kasi idadala niya yung 'manliligaw' niya na sunod nang sunod sa kanya kahit saan siya pumunta.
Yup, I called Jon as Kath's 'manliligaw'. Though I'm not quite sure, may feeling akong siya nga talaga. Kasi nga diba, it's been seven years and they are still great friends.
And by the way, I am still kind of confused of whatever I am feeling towards Kath. I don't know, I'm trying to figure it out.
"Sir, nasa waiting area na po si Ms. Bernardo." Sabi ni Aissa nang pumasok siya sa opisina ko.
"Mag-isa lang siya?" tanong ko at inabot naman sa akin ni Aissa yung permit na pipirmahan ko.
"Opo, sir. Ano pong sasabihin ko sa kanya?" tanong ni Aissa.
"Ahh... papasukin mo muna." sabi ko.
Aissa smiled. "Bakit ho, sir?"
"Basta sabihin mo na lang, ang dami mong tanong Aissa." sabi ko at tumawa lang siya.
Lumabas naman si Aissa.
Inikot-ikot ko yung swivel chair ko. I faced the gigantic glass window. Pero di niya makikita ang gwapong mukha ko. Kaya inikot ko ulit yung swivel chair. Side view na lang, kasi nga noong bata pa kami eh talagang naattract na siya sa ilong ko. Might as well use my charms now. Pero dapat talaga nakikita niya yung mukha ko. Inikot ko ulit yung upuan, now facing the door. Inilagay ko sa chin ko yung kamay ko, tapos sumandal sa upuan ko.
Mukha na ba akong tanga?
Pumasok naman si Kath, pero hindi siya nakatingin sa akin. Nakatingin siya sa phone niya habang nagtetext at sinasara yung pinto ng opisina ko.
Ano ba yan, nag-effort pa ako.
I fakely coughed to catch her attention and good thing it worked.
She looked up to meet y eyes. She pulled out her million-dollar smile.
"Good morning, Mr. Padilla." she greeted.
"Good morning, Ms. Bernardo." I stated. "Take a seat."
Umupo naman siya sa harap ko. Ipinagpatuloy lang niya ang pagtetext.
"I think calling each other formally is kind of awkward." I stated, causing her to stop texting and to look at me. Great. "Why don't we call each other by our first names, Kath?"
She smirked. "No, Mr. Padilla, remember, this is work. Let's work professionally."
I frowned. "We were great friends, what's the diffe-"
"Yup." she cut me off. "We WERE great friends."
Balik na naman ba siya sa pagiging maldita?
"Don't take this the wrong way, Mr. Padilla. As long as we're on work, we won't use our first names." she stated. I just fakely smiled.
Well, shit. Akala ko magiging okay na kami.
"By the way, Jon texted me. He can't come with us to check the location." sabi niya.
