KAINA'S POV

I was sitting here sa Office kung saan ako nagwowork, when my phone Vibrate. Its a message from my sister, telling me nonstop that her Idols notice her post.

Hindi rin naman ako madalas sa social media because I don't like talking to anyone. Kaya mostly nasa Bahay lang ako or office. Wala din akong social life dahil yung mga Kaibigan ko may mga Babies na. They are all married at ako nalang ang Hinde.

I am working here in Mandaluyong pero sa Pampanga talaga ako nakatira, I have a condo na binayaran ng Boss ko so I can stay nalang din dito sa Manila at hindi pauwi uwi sa Pampanga. Our company made sure na we are all in goods. Siyempre this is just a rental pero sila nagbabayad. Mayaman kasi Boss ko and they are too kind.

My phone Vibrate non stop so I answered the call without looking at it. I know that it was my sister kasi wala naman ibang tatawag sakin.

"Its good that you called Kas, dahil inaantok ako dito sa Office. Did you..." nagulat ako kasi hindi pala si Kastine kausap ko. Its Diana.

"Oh hi. Sorry akala ko kasi yung sister ko.. Nasa work ako, why? Sa Mandaluyong lang. Why? I'm working. Yes, mamaya pa Lunch. Okay sige. See you" then she hang up.

Nag call lang naman siya to ask me out, kasi ayaw nya daw yayain mga Kaibigan nya dahil puro asar lang sila sakanya. I look at the wall clock and 30 minutes nalang at Lunch time na..

May sarili akong office dito, so wala talaga akong makausap. Minsan nagpupunta ako sa mga seniors ko pero minsan dito lang sa office tinatapos trabaho ko.

Then my phone Vibrate its a text from Diana, telling me she's at the Pizza hut near my office. So lumabas na ako ng office at sumakay na ng elevator pababa. Pagpasok ko sa Pizza hot, she was there as usual naka plain shirt and shorts above the knee. She's wearing cap and shades.

"Hey. Kanina kapa?" tanong ko, looks like kanina pa siya nandito.

"Hi. Nope kakadating ko lang din. Order na tayo? Para makabalik ka agad sa Office nyo" sagot nya.

Nag order lang kame ng sakto para samin dalawa tapos kumain na din. 1 hour break time lang kasi ako kaya kailangan kong kumain talaga.

"So why did you call? Is it urgent?" tanong ko. Nakakapagtaka kasi na Kailangan nya pa makipag kita sakin.

"Wala naman. I have gameday sa Sabado, And I want to invite you to watch me" sagot nya

"I don't wanna watch you. Natatalo ka lang eh" biro ko sabay tawa.

"Grabe ka. That's a do or die para makapasok sa Finals. So I want you there." sagot nya.

"Okay. I'll buy ticket later pag uwi ko" Sabe ko.

"You don't have to. I have your tickets na. Go watch with your sister" nagtaka naman ako sakanya.

"So how to decline your offer kung meron na pala kameng ticket?" natatawang sagot ko. "Seems like we don't have any choice kung hindi manunod" sabe ko habang natatawa

"You know what, you can do what do want. Wag ka nalang manuod kung napipilitan ka" inis na sagot nya.

"I am just joking. Manunuod kame. Thanks sa ticket, I'll pay for our food para quits" sabe ko

"No. Ako magbabayad. I invited you over so Its my treat" sagot nya and ask for the bill out.

Habang nagbabayad siya nakatingin lang ako sakanya. Ngayon ko lang napansin na ang cute nga talaga nya. Ang kalma ng awra nya, she looks fine. Gusto ko tuloy siyang iuwi tapos ipakita sa kapatid ko kasi Idol nya yon.

"you have 20 minutes pa. Can we just stay here a little?" Nagtaka tuloy ako sakanya

"Do you have a problem? Hindi ako marunong mag advice but I want you to know na kung ano man yan, desisyon mo yan panindigan mo. Consequences naman is ikaw makakaramdam" sabe ko.

"No. Wala akong problema. I just looking for a friend lang today. Nang aasar lang kasi mga Kaibigan ko. You know ilan days na ako trending mula nung Last Game" sagot nya.

"So you are too famous pala? And why suddenly is that?" tanong ko.

"Wala ka bang social media? Wala ka bang Idea? Ganon kana ba katanda?" sagot nya

"Sorry. So bakit ka nga trending?" tanong ko.

"So if you remember last game, Meron akong dapat ishake hands diba kaso umalis. That was my ex. Gemalyn, if you know her. Pero for sure di mo siya kilala" sagot nya

"Ahh. The girl na ended the game ba? Yung after game? So you are ex. I won't ask what is your gender preference. So you were inlove with a girl name Gemalyn?" tanong ko.

"oo. Kaya trending kasi binabash sya, eh ayaw ko naman na kasi makialam pa sakanya kasi mababash at mababash lang naman din siya. What should I do?"

"If I were you just talk to her and tell her that you can't handle what people would think about what happened, but tell her you are sorry that she was bashed because of that." sabe ko.

"Yeah. Thank you.. Anyway its time to go back to your work. I'll see you on Saturday" sabe nya. Sabay na kameng tumayo at naglakad palabas. We said Goodbyes and I thank her for the lunch treat then I walk away and she drove.

Pagbalik ko sa office the guard told me na dumating na si Boss kasama yung mga clients nya. And pumasok na ako sa office ko and nagreview ng paper works for her appointment to our new clients.

I am busy when my Boss knock to my door. She's with the new Endorser of her company.

"Kaina, this is Kim chezka. She's the new face of our company. I hope you know her, she's one of the best Volleyball in town" Nakupo. Hindi ko kilala to dahil hindi ako fan ng Volleyball. I should ask Kastine for the names of the players siguro.

"Hi Ma'am I am Kaina. Nice to meet you" tinaas ko nalang kamay ko for the shake hands and kinuha naman nya to. Grabe ang laki ng kamay nya at daliri ang hahaba. Player talaga to ng Volleyball.

"Just call me kim or Kimmy Kaina. Nice to meet you too." sagot nya habang nakangiti.

"Kaina, are you done with the print outs? We'll have meeting in a minute, just make it done. Okay?" tapos umalis na sila.

Tinapos ko lang yung print outs and checking it all. Then pumunta na kame sa Conference room. Nagpirmahan and it went good kasi Nakuha namen si Kim Chezka as the new Endorser. We took photos of her and we took photos with her.

Then she ask me if she could took a picture with me. And I said yes, kas siyempre. Sikat tong katabi ko bakit pa ako mag iinarte.

After our meeting balik office na ako. I need to go home para makapag luto ng dinner ko and maaga ako natutulog. Bumaba na ako at sumakay ng sasakyan para makauwi na sa Condo..

Habang nagluluto ako tumawag si Kastine telling me she saw the post of Kimmy na she's with me. Tapos ang caption "SHE'S AMAZING, NO WONDER I CHOOSE HER" ang ibig sabihin nya pinili nya mapabilang sa Company namen as the new Endorser. Inexplained ko lang sa kapatid ko dahil ang kulit nya at tanong ng tanong.

When the call ended, I eat dinner and nag half bath. Habang nagpapaantok ako, I checked the IG post na sinasabe ni Kas. It was a photo of me and Kimmy, pero madameng pics kapag nag swipe right ka. It's just I was the front of the post.

I read many comments, comes from a basher and fans. I just don't read it anymore and then  I sleep.
