Over Me (COMPLETED)

Chapter 43

"Reed."

"Oh?"

I already reached the HR office and Hayme suddenly stopped at the GR office, almost three aways from where I am. Hands clasped on his chest, I can imagine how my veins started rushing bloods through my face.

Catching him, I asked what's happening. He has trouble breathing, his chest not pumping properly. Hayme's face puckering and ears full of scarlet.

"The hell, ano nga?!"

When he moved, the tensil from the door fall on the floor. It's the least thing I could worry for, what the hell is happening on him?

A small spasm crossed his face before gawping at me, my eyes twinkled again with tears and out of nowhere, he started cachinnating at me. Kung kanina hawak ang dibdib, ngayon ay hindi na siya magkandaugaga balansehin ang sarili.

For a while, my eyes perusing his face, unbelievably. "Fuck you. Hindi nakakatuwa."

How many times he had done this? After he really fainted in their office, lagi na lang siyang nakakahanap ng time magkunwari na hindi siya makahinga. It happened so many times this oast few months I just wanted to ignore it and said he's good timing me but who knows if it's real?

Kicking his knee, nagpatuloy na ako sa lakad. Damn him, akala ko naman kung ano.

Hayme, who has so much longer legs than I, was able to catch up with my trance. Katatapos lang ng meeting ng lahat patungkol sa upcoming Christmas Party ng company at pabalik pa lang kami sa designated office namin.

"Ito naman, pikon agad?" still cackling.

"B-buti sana hindi health mo nakataya," sumulyap ako sabay irap. "Stop doing that. Ako ang aatakihin sa puso, e."

"That won't happen."

"And bakit naman?"

He held out his hand in front of us, causing for sudden halt in walking. I watched his enormous palm and slick fingers before he puts it on his polo, specifically on the chest part.

"I have your heart. Walang puwedeng mangyari sa'yo dahil nasa akin ka. Understand?"

"Corny." but a kilig tingling rushed insidr of me. "So you're basically telling me no one can hurt me now dahil na sa'yo puso ko?"

"Perfect!" he laughs. "But of course, never ko gagawin 'yun. One or two pains are enough, deserve mo naman na mapangakuang ang complete assurance."

"Assurance saan?"

"Sa sakit. Sa mga posibleng mangyari." pinagtagpo niya ang balikat namin. "Basta promise ko sa'yo, last na 'yung huli kitang sinaktan. 'Di na 'yun mauulit pa."

I scoffed and roll my eyes I think I didn't see clear for a while. "Gabi-gabi mo nga akong sinasaktan." pinanlakihan ko ng tingin ang matingkad na tiles ng elevator.

Bago pa man magbukas ang elevator, pinakita niya sa akin ang cellphone. "Hmm?" I ask.

"Tara bili mamaya ng bago."

"Bago? Bagong cellphone?"

Dali-dali kong kinuha ang wallet sabay pakita sa kaniya. His stares stayed at our picture but pretty soon went to what I'm really showing. Tinawanan niya lang ako sabay baba noon.

"Alam mo na nag-iipon ako kapag uuwi kami."

"I know that, of course. Ako unang sinabihan mo, siyempre alam ko lagi." it's his turn to roll his eyes. Ang guwapo. "What I'm saying, let's change phone covers!"

"Case."

"Ganoon din 'yun." he pursed his rosy heart lips. "Hindi ko na gusto style."

I was taken a back for a while, bakit bigla niyang naisipan magpalit ng case? Minsan talaga, I can't read through him.
