Never Erased
It's been a month since Jake left for his checkup and I still doesn't have the nerve to call him again. I tried once but it was out of reach. Since then I never attempted to call again.
Maybe because I'm scared to face the truth that he really moved on.
Probably, I'm terrified of him having a girlfriend.
Most likely, I'm very exhausted of all these things that happened in the past... for waiting, searching and longing for him.
Sobrang unfair talaga. Gusto kong magalit kay Tita Barbara for shutting me out of her son's life. Pero mukhang useless din naman.
"Raine, may problema tayo." Napabalik sa 15th floor ng Estra Bldg. ang diwa ko nang marinig ang nag-aalalang boses ni Minnie sa sinabi niya.
"Ha? Anong problema?"
"Iyong fish leather na kailangan natin para sa prototype ng bag ayaw ng magbigay ng supplier."
"Find another supplier."
"That would be okay sana pero after a week pa ang delivery. Critical na tayo Raine sa schedule. Dapat this week matapos na ang pagtahi sa bag para umabot tayo sa presentation next week."
"I thought we still have time." Natataranta na rin ako at the back of my head.
"Tama ka d'yan. Kaya lang pina-move ni Sir Dennis yong board meeting next week dahil kailangan niyang pumunta sa Amerika in two weeks time. Di mo ba nabasa iyong email niya?"
"Hindi e."
I need to think straight.
"Is there any other option?"
Nag-aalangan ang ngiti ni Minnie. "May na-suggest iyong isang supplier."
"Kung ano man iyan, gagawin ko Minnie para lang hindi tayo mapahiya." I tried to smile.
"May isang shoe factory daw sa Marikina na gumagamit ng fish leather. They stock more than enough para sa production. Iyon daw ang number one client nila. Baka daw pwede tayong bumili doon."
"Where can I find it?"
"Pupuntahan natin?"
"Kahit saang lupalop pa iyan."
"I'll call again the supplier to ask for the address."
"Sige, pakitawagan. I'll try to search for other options."
Umalis na si Minnie. I tried calling my mom to ask for help. Marami kasi siyang contacts ng suppliers. But she is not answering. After several dials from my phone bumalik si Minnie at dala na ang address ng JCon Shoes.
"Kailan tayo pupunta?" Tanong ni Minnie.
"Pwede ka mamayang after lunch?"
"Oo naman... Ahm.. Raine."
"May problema pa ba?"
"Narinig ko kasi na ipina-pull-out daw ni Micah iyong mga materyales para daw sa inventory. E hindi pa naman inventory season."
That bitch! I think she's cooking up on something. Sinarili ko na lang iyong naisip ko. Ayaw ko namang mag-alala pa itong si Minnie. Ilang linggo na rin naming pinaghihirapan ang pag-design at paghanap ng mga tamang materials para sa prototype namin.
Nag-taxi kami ni Minnie papunta sa JCon Shoes. Hindi naman mahirap hanapin ang factory kasi kilala ito sa Marikina. Pinatuloy kami ng security guard at itinuro sa amin ang opisina ng supplies unit. Pero pagdating namin doon nagmamatigas yung manager. Hindi daw nila pwedeng ibenta iyong mga na-acquire ng stocks dahil di daw yun policy ng kumpanya.

किशोर उपन्यासThere is a guy standing behind me. He is tall, wearing a mask and a black tux. Natatakpan iyong mukha niya dahil sa laki ng maskara. Iyong mata at lips lang niya ang nakikita. Iyong kamay niya nakalahad sa akin as if he is asking me to dance. I did...
