Incognito You

Boss Battle

"Ikaw Glaiza, kamusta? Kayo na ulit ni Rhian?"

Chynna ask, i look at Rhian on the other side of the reception, she's talking to Sheena.

"Sort of, inaayos pa namin yung mga sabit eh."

"Ah ganun ba, anyways, masaya ako para sa inyo. All this time tsong, alam kong ikaw lang ang hinihintay niya bumalik."

I celebrate in silence sa sinabi ni Chynna, naghihintayan lang pala kaming dalawa for 10 years.

"Ikaw Kat, kamusta ka naman?"

"Ito working class na, FAD manager sa isang company. Ikaw nga diyan eh, from taga-hilot to Doctor, ayos ha."

She tap my shoulder at nagtawanan kami dahil all this years, tackless pa din siya magsalita.

"Oo nga eh, hindi ko rin naisip na tutuloy pala ako ng medicine pero sa....."

"Brod."

Mike shows up from behind with the saddest expression in the room.

"Brod. Everything will be okay just hang on."

"Thanks Glaiza, masaya na din seguro si Daddy, kasama na niya si Mommy. Atleast, hindi na siya nahihirapan. Hindi na din naman siya magigising diba? Diba brod."

His voice was pleading as my hand starts to shake.

"The chances was slim since the coma Mike, given his age and all the medical history, 20/80 ang probability."

"Thank you for the honesty brod."

We hug and he sob like a kid in my shoulder.
Nakisali na din sina Kean at Chynna, moments later Kat, Sheena and Rhian joins in.
It was a heartbreaking and nostalgic scene.

Rhian

"What the hell? What are you bitches doing here?"

Tumayo mula sa pagkakaupo sina Megan at Solenn. By the looks of it nasa figthing mode na sila.

"Can we talk?"

Ask Solenn, lumingon ako kay Gabby.
Bakit niya pinayagan makapasok ang mga babae na ito sa office ko.

"Miss Rhian sorry po, mapilit po sila eh."

"We need to make things clear Rhian, this game of cat and mouse is dragging so long."

I signal Gabby to leave us alone as i sit on the sofa opposite to them.
Two on one, bring it on.

Glaiza

"Megan? Oh lord...Solenn?"

When Rhian called earlier, sabi niya sumunod ako sa resto na ito kasi may pag uusapan daw kaming importante. Never have i expected to see Megan and Solenn.

This doesnt look good.

"Just in time Glaiza, have a seat."

I hate Solenn's sarcastic tone, maiihaw ata ako ng buhay dito. Lahat sila beast mode na.
I slowly make my way to the vacant seat, square ang table kaya klarong nakikita ang bawat isa.
Rhian is on my right, Megan on my left.

"You look pale G. Relax, were just comparing notes with each other."

Malalagutan na ako ng hininga, i reach for Rhian's hand underneath the table, she squeeze it gently and intertwine it with hers.

"Please proceed with your story Solenn."

Rhian pointed at Solenn, sobrang bigat at steep ng aura sa paligid, nagpapakiramdaman silang tatlo.
