“None of your business, Raima.” He went out of the room. Naiinis na naiwan si Raima sa loob. Another woman ha, I bet, tulad nang iba, hindi rin siya tatagal sayo, JC.

Isa actually siyang staff ng isang private company na nageexport ng iba’t ibang klaseng organic products, although hindi naman kalakihan ang suweldo, ang importante ay may trabaho siya. She was assigned in the advertising department. Immediately, she will start tomorrow kaya ang saya-saya niya, malapit lang din ito sa tinitirhan niyang apartment kaya okay lang. Kanina, ipinakilala siya sa mga magiging kasamahan niya, mukha naman silang mababait at accommodating.
Sa sobrang saya niya, she treated herself sa isang fast food chain. Gabi na nung makauwi siya. She was sure that she left the apartment with lights off, how come me ilaw na nakasindi? Lock naman.
Pagpasok pa lang niya ay agad na dumagundong ang boses ni Jay Craig. “Where the hell did you go?”
“Ay guwapo!” Sigaw niya sa sobrang gulat sabay hawak sa dibdib.
“Where have you been? I cannot contact you, I was so worried.” Galit ang boses nito. Lumapit ito sa kanya. Naconscious na naman si Mavee.
“Sorry, nadrain ang battery ko. I just went out to celebrate.”
“Went out to celebrate? Alone? Didn’t I tell you to wait for me because I will fetch you?” Salubong na ang mga kilay nito. Seryoso ang guwapong mukha. Medyo napaatras siya, lumambot naman ang ekspresyon nang mukha ni Craig nung maramdamang parang natatakot si Mavee sa kanya. Damn! Bakit ba di niya maiwasang maging bossy sa harap nito, wala na siya sa opisina.
“So-sorry, nakalimutan ko.”
Yun lang? Nakalimutan niya lang? Samantalang muntik na siyang tumawag nang taong hahanap sa kanya. He is disappointed.
“Sige, I have to leave. Magpahinga ka na.” Nasabi na lang niya, he is experiencing something strange right now, an unfamiliar feeling which he doesn’t really like.
“Wait.”
“What!” He is now irritated.
“Ku-kumain ka na ba?” She looks guilty.
“What do you think? After work I came here to fetch my girlfriend only to find out she’s doesn’t care. Do you think I had my dinner already?” HE said in his low voice.
Girlfriend? Shit! Tama pala, nagpapanggap siyang girlfriend nito, baka kakailanganin siya nito ngayon. Bakit ba hindi niya naisip yun?
