Waiting for you is the hardest and craziest thing that I won't get used to.

Caryss POV
'Okay! It's been 183 days.
Tamad na tamad na minarkahan ko yung kalendaryo sa table ko at saka tinungo ang pantry to make coffee.
"Hey, 'Ryss! I got your email last night and had sent it to my client. He is asking for a catch up by 1600. Are you free this afternoon?"
I caught the thick accent on Robert Bosch, one of my colleagues. Napalingon ako sa australyanong lalaking kaharap ko. He is also working here in Venice as a landscape architect.
"I'll check my schedule first." Flat na sabi ko at saka pumili ng kape sa vendo.
"Let me know when you're available so I could also confirm. Can't let this opportunity pass. I've been waiting for this schedule the whole time."
Ngumiti lang ako sa kanya. I know how hard working this guy is but he seems out of hand of his calculations and designs. I could tell that he is really good at this job. However, the client he is talking about is a family man. But his design has too many edges and not family oriented. Maybe, yun ang rason why he fails to catch this client for too long now.
"Yeah,sure." I replied with a smile. This guy has been a good friend too. "I just forgot to check my calendar really."
Ngumiti lang si Rob at saka kumuha ng tissue at inabot sakin para mapunasan ko ang tumapong sobrang kape sa cups.
"Thank you." I said politely.
"No worries." He replied. " You know you have been here for almost six months but I seldom see you hanging out. You don't seem to like party life eh?"
Tumango lang ako at saka tipid na ngumiti ulit. Hindi ko lang din talaga trip ang makipag-usap. Maybe that's the same reason I opted to be a freelancer before.
"Why don't we go out for a drink later?" Nakangiting alok niya pa.
Napatingin ako sa mukhang iyon ni Robert. Oo, gwapo sya. Matangkad sa height na 6'2 ". Matipuno ang pangangatawan na halatang alaga sa work out. Magaling din magdala ng damit at yung tipo ng lalaking titilian ng mga kadalagahan. Pero wala. Wala talagang dating sa akin ang karisma nya.
"Maybe some time. I'm really not sure of my schedule. " Pasimpleng tanggi ko at saka sinimulang paglakad pabalik sa workstation ko.
Nakangiting umiling lang ang lalaki at sinabayan ako maglakad.
"You should know by now that a pretty woman like you should have fun too. You can't worn yourself out of work." Patuloy pa ng lalaki. Siguro kung iba lang ito ay ma-o-offend na ko. Pero dahil hindi naman mayabang ang pagkakasabi nya, i decided to overheard it.
Pagdating sa area ko ay sinulyapan ko lang ang kalendaryo ko. There's nothing personal on my schedule tonight because my calendar has only a note of read Sam's book.
"Sam." Basa ni Robert sa nakalagay sa kalendaryo ko. "Who's Sam?"
'My girlfriend.. Nangingiming gusto kong isagot para tigilan nya na ko sa katatanong.
Bago pa ko makasagot ay dinampot na nito ang librong nasa ibabaw ng desk ko. Yun yung bagong labas na libro ni Samara. It was issued the next month after i left her. And it is very clear na ako ang dahilan niyon because the book features solitarity and loneliness of being alone.
"To the one that Got away." Rob read while a smile is pasted on his lips. "I didn't know this is your kind of genre. I thought you're into mystery and thriller type."
