LADY AND A BABY (COMPLETED)

Chapter Eight

Luke's

“You ghosted her, brotha!”

Kevin sighed nga murag wa sya katuo sa akong gi ingon.

I told him about what happened a week ago. Tong nag dinner mi ni Raven.

Isa na ka semana ang milabay ug wa na nako nakita ug usab si Raven. I even told Kevin nga panguyaban na nako si Raven. Pero unexpectedly nabusy kos akong trabaho.

“Dude, you're an ass! Unsa nalay huna hunaon niya? Gara gara ra to imong gi sulti?” he frustratedly asked.

He's now accusing me nga gi ghost daw nako si Raven. Wtf? Murag sya pay na stress nga dapat ako man untay mag huna huna ana.

“Sige ikaw nalay panguyab niya.” sulti nako ug ni sandig sa akong swiveling chair.

He tsked. “Okay okay. I'm leaving now. Naa pakoy date.”

Nabilin kos akong office ug wa ko kabalo unsay sunod buhaton. Na guilty sad ko nga one week kong wa nagpa ramdam kay Raven.

Basin maka ingon sya nga gipa asa nako sya. Or did she even think of me?

“Should I ask her another dinner?” pangutana nako sa akong sarili.

“No! It should be a date. Not just a dinner.” tubag ra sad nako sa akong sarili. Mura nako'g nabuang diri.

“What if..” nag huna huna kog better ways to court her appropriately.

What to do next? Di na dapat madugay pa kay basin makaingon syag gi tripan ra nako siya.

“Engineer Salvador?” someone entered my office.

I came back to my senses pagka dungog nako sa feminine nga tingog.

Nailhan na dayun nako kung kinsa ang nisulod sa akong office tungod sa iyang perfume.

I smiled. ‘This woman.. I missed her so much.’

Raven's

“Raven, please cancel my appointment for this afternoon. I have important things to do.” sugo sa akong boss ug ni smile s'ya nako.

She looked blooming today. Dili halata iyang edad. She's already 51 by the way.

“Copy ma'am.” I smiled gracefully, “Do you need anything ma'am?” I asked.

She stared at me. I felt awkward because my boos was starring at me.

“Raven?” she called out

“Yes ma'am?”  I immediately answered.

“You are my ideal daughter-in-law. I wish you could meet my son. I'm pretty sure his perfect for you.” her smile was genuine.

Nisiga akong mata sa iyang gi ingon. Unsa daw? Naka shabu guro ning akong boss.

“M-Ma'am? You.. what?” I'm shocked that I can't even make a sentence.

Seconds later, nikalit rag katawa akong boss. Napasmo guro ni among CEO ay.

“Oh Raven, I was just kidding.” my boss laughed before she continue, “But If you want to, you can meet him. I can set you both on a date.” she winked then stand up from her swiveling chair.

Niduko rako pag agi niya ug ni padayun na syag gawas sa iyang office.

Natulala ko ug wa pa ni sink in sa akong utok ang iyang mga gi sulti. Kung wa guro ko kaila sa akong boss, maka ingon jud ko nga naka shabu to sya.

Char.

Wait, I also didn't knew nga naa diay s'yay anak?

Wow! Na curious na nuon ko kay murag duha nako ka bulan diri ug wa man lang koy alam about my boss life.

Whatever! Sakyan nalang nako ang trip ni ma'am basin diay swertehon kos iyang anak. Char (2)

Di parehas sa uban nga igo ra mag saad nya wa na dayun nagparamdam.

Diba Luke? Char (3)
