"THAT'S it, keep going, Luna" Atlas said as he watched her walk slowly without any support on.
It's already been two weeks at sa loob ng mga araw na iyon, ngayon ang araw na kaya na niyang lumakad ng mag-isa.
"That's it! Konti na lang"
She could feel the pain but she could bear it now. Malapit na! Kaya niya ito!
"Yes!" Sigaw ni Atlas nang makarating siya sa dulo kung nasaan ito. "You did it!" Binuhat siya nito at inikot ikot. Yes, she did it!
Nagawa niya! "Sabi ko naman sa'yo hindi ba? You can do it"
Binaba siya nito at muntikan nang magtama ang mga labi nila. She was about to step back but her legs are still not that stable, mabuti na lang at nahawakan ni Atlas ang bewang niya!
"S-Salamat" nahihiyang aniya pagkuwa'y dahan-dahang lumayo rito, "B-Bukas ulit?"
Ngumiti ito sa kanya, "I think you deserve a day off" anito. Yes! A day off-- but, does it mean hindi sila magkikita?
So, what Luna? Don't act like you'll miss him.
"Let's go somewhere else?" Napaangat ang tingin niya rito, bumilis ang tibok ng kanyang puso!
Keep it cool, woman! Keep it cool!
Kaya naman napakunot siya ng noo para itago ang saya na nararamdaman, "Pwede na ba akong tumalon sa talon?"
"Huwag mo munang biglain, mahirap na baka mas lumala iyan." sagot nito nang may magsuyo sa tinig. Tama ba ang naririnig niya?
He's a doctor! Ganyan siya sa lahat ng patiente niya! What's wrong with you, Luna? Kailan ka pa naging assuming?
"Why not come with me to the dance tomorrow and be my date?" Nanlaki ang mga mata niya! Hindi siya makagalaw! See? How could she not assume with this kind of gesture?
Yes, she's a COO of their company yet... yet she didn't know how to handle this!
Pull yourself together, woman!
"Dance na naman? Dahil sa dance na iyan naaksidente ako" Natawa siya pagkuwa'y ininom ang tubig na inabot nito sa kanya, "Pass"
"Touché" He chuckled, "So, you'll be my date?"
Shit! Napakunot na lang siya sa noo, "Date? I can't even dance--"
"Then we won't dance" putol nito sa kanya, "Let's just have some dinner"
Okay. That was smart move. She's impressed.
"Fine" Pumalakpak pa ang Doctor na ito, ibang klase rin, e. "Treat mo"
Tumawa pa ito nang mas malakas, "Oo naman!"

Hindi kailanman kinabahan ng sobra si Luna sa ganitong bagay.
Date? Tss, hindi nga niya pinaghahandaan ang mga ganito noon. She was never conscious on what she would look on an attire, as long as it speaks formality then it's okay! But, now?
Goodness! Mas madali pa yatang magdesisyon kung sino ang pwede niyang sisantehin kaysa sa isusuot niyang damit ngayon.
"Ma'am, bagay po sa inyo" ani Gretel, "Ilugay niyo lang po ang buhok ninyo, para mas makita ang ganda ng buhok po ninyo"
