"kung sa akin hindi bagay, mas lalo na sa 'yo!"
"okay lang, did i say na gusto ko ng posisyon na 'yon?" mataray na ani ng lalaki kanina
"manahimik nga kayong dalawa, nakatingin sa 'tin 'yung babae" singit ng isang kasama nila at sabay na napatingin sa pwesto ko, mga mukha silang napahiya.
Nginitian ko nalang sila bago talikuran, that's not a big deal though.
I knock sa pinto ng office ni Minty, she's isn't responding kaya nilapit ko ang tenga ko just to hear what's going on inside. Narinig kong may nag-uusap sa loob but i couldn't understand what they were talking about.
Kumatok nalang ulit ako but this time mas malakas na kesa kanina, naramdaman ko namang may naglalakad na papalapit sa pintuan. And to my surprise Minty's friend, aeri who's the one opened it.
she felt a bit shock but give me a warm smile later on, i smiled back at her.
I really like her, because she's kind and looks friendly.
"who's that, aeri?" narinig ko ang boses niya mula sa loob, she's probably sitting in her swivel right now.
"your secretary" sagot naman ni Aeri at binigyan ako ng space para makapasok sa loob.
bumungad sa 'kin ang gulat na mukha ni Minty pero agad 'yong nabawi ng usual face niya kapag kaharap ako.
"you're here, i thought hindi ka papasok..and you did not respond to my messages" she seriously uttered
"I'm sorry, i was busy with something earlier so i didn't notice your message" I lied
"hmm..a-are you--i guess you're fine now" by sensing her right now, she's about to ask me if i'm okay pero agad niyang binawi 'yon.
"Maiwan ko na muna kayo, i think you really need a heart to heart talk" i almost dropped my jaw when aeri said that but after that she literally left.
"d-don't mind her.."
"yeah." pagsang-ayon ko, awkward silence intervened us. I don't know what to do dahil wala naman talaga akong gagawin, just to keep an eye on her.
"are you sure you're totally fine?" lumingon ako sa gawi niya nang bigla siyang magtanong
"yes, why?"
"ba't nakatayo kapa?"
"w-what would i suppose to do?" i asked her, and that was a very stupid question of mine.
Tumayo siya sa chair niya saka lumapit sa 'kin "why are you asking me that?"
"i-i'm sorry"
"what's wrong with you?" she asked with a confusing look
"huh?"
"lutang kaba?" malakas niyang tanong ulit at parang gusto na 'kong katayin dahil sa mga titig niya
she turn her look away but then she faced me again "stop apologizing, i hate it"
Now, the second part of knowing her is she hates it when you're apologizing but doesn't have a sin to her.
I laugh in my mind, because of taking notes of knowing her more.
"anyway, i will leave earlier today because i have a little hangout with my friends" aniya saka naupo sa kaniyang swivel chair
"I'll go with you." mabilis ang naging respond ko at expected reaction from her, nakataas nanaman ang kilay niya
"hangout with my friends!" sabi niya at pinagdiinan pa talaga ang friends
