The Flame of Love (EXCLUSIVE IN DREAME)

Chapter 4:

CHAPTER 4: Chelle's point of view

"From now on, you will be my official secretary." the monster said, seriously while facing Gelay.

Gelay seemed unhappy on what we heard, halata kasi ang pamumutla ng mukha nya...and me knowing her, alam 'kong natatakot sya.

Gelay remained silent. Nakatayo sya sa harapan ni Sir Monster, habang ito ay nakaupo sa swivel chair nito, and me... Nandito lang ako sa may pinto.

"Did you hear me?." Sir Monster asked in a strong voice. Halata ang gulat kay Gelay, at nanginginig naman itong tumango. "Y--yes sir." anito.

The monster keep on staring---or should i say, glaring qt her. That can make her uncomfortable. Aish. Ang sama talaga ng ugali ng lalaking ito. Geez.

"Your actions makes me regret my decision. Hmm, just tell me if you doesn't want to be my secretary so that i can find another one." he said, and it sounds so sarcastic.

I clearly see Gelay gulped multiple times before she released a word. "S--sorry Sir. B-but, c-can you find a-another one? I-- doubt myself in being y---your secretary, S---sir."

Gelay said,still stuttering. Inaatake na siya ng Emotional Problem nya, she was eaten by her fears. And that is not a good sign,kung ngayon palang ganyan na siya panu pa sa mga susunod

I want to interfere their talk, but... i don't have the right. Ewan ko nga, kung bakit di pa ako umaalis e. Nag-aalala lang ako kay Gelay, what if something bad happen to her?

What am i gonna do?. Gusto 'ko lang siyang bantayan.

"Fine. I will find another one." my eyes widened because of what i heard. I saw how Gelay's face lightened because of what he said.

"T-talaga po, Sir? T-thank you po." Gelay said. Nagtataka akong tumingin sa halimaw dahil di ako makapaniwalang pumayag siya. Knowing him, baka may binabalak siya.

And i confirmed it, when he smiled... His smile is dark, and i know that there is something behind that creepy smile of his.

"Don't thank me. I'm just saying that i will find another one to be my secretary, while you...you will find another job, and another company to apply on. You are fired." he said.

Nanlaki ang mga mata namin dahil sa sinabi nya. What? He is firing Gelay? Dahil ayaw nitong pumayag sa gusto nya? Sheez! This is not good.

I looked at Gelay at halatang-halata sa mukha nya ang matinding problema. Geez! She is working here for 5 years now, and she is single. Wala na siyang pamilya.

Matagal na siyang ulila, kaya sya na ang nagtustos sa pangangailangan niya. Ang alam ko, isa sya sa mga scholar ni Sir Johence, kaya naman nang makatapos, agad na siyang nagtrabaho dito.

And now, just by rejecting the boss's request ay matatanggal na siya dito. Takteng yan! I need to do something.

I sighed, at ilang beses akong nagdalawang isipi but then i end up telling him, how cruel he is as a boss.

"Sir Jorem, with all due respect you can't just do that. According sa rule nang company, hindi ka pwedeng basta basta magtanggal ng empleyado nang kompanya." i bravely said.

The monster's eyes landed back on mine, and he quickly glared at me. "You're out on this. O baka gusto mo na pati ikaw tanggalin ko." he stated, at halata na ang panggigigil niya.

His jaw tightened, while his eyes became more sharper from earlier. I felt goosebumps in just a second. Shock!

"Sir! Like what i've said, wala sa rule ng kumpanya na pwedeng magtanggal ng isang empleyado, without a valid reason. Kaya naman, hindi nyo kami pwedeng tanggalin."

matapang 'ko namang sagot, kahit sa totoo lang kinakabahan na ako. Oh god! Sana po, magkaroon ng kaunting kabaitan man lang ang halimaw---este lalaking ito.

His face was already dark, but it became more darker after i spoke. He looks like encircled by a flaming black fire dahil sa galit na nakikita ko sa mga mata niya.

Kung iba 'pa ang kausap niya ngayon, i'm sure mga inatake na sa puso ang mga iyon.

He angrily pointed me. "Ikaw! Ang tapang-tapang mo. You 'were acting like a boss. Ipapaalala ko lang sa inyo na ako ang boss nyo, and i have the right to fire all of you."

"Whether it wasn't written on that damn rule, still i can do whatever i want with MY employees. I am now your boss, kaya wala kayong karapatang kwestyunin ako."

He yelled at me.

My brows curled, and as i was planning to yell at him too, Gelay suddenly speak.

"I--i'm accepting your request Sir. F-from now on, ako na p-po ang secretary nyo." she said nervously. Agad naman akong napabaling sa kanya, at nagtataka siyang tinignan.

She looked back at me, at halata ang lungkot sa itsura niya. Kaya naman alam 'kong napipilitan lang siya, pero the question is bakit siya pumapayag ngayon?

"Madali ka naman palang kausap e. Okay, you will start being my secretary now." narinig 'kong sabi nung halimaw na lalaking iyon.

"And you, go back to your fuck-ng office. Bawal ka nang pumanhik dito, kahit kailan. Always remember that." matigas na sabi nito.

Tinignan ko naman siya, at nakita 'kong naka-smirk siya habang nakatingin sakin. So, he is happy to see me losing? Wow. What a weird monster!!

I rolled my eyes at him, as i walked toward Gelay who is now standing while blinking her eyes consecutively.

I held her arm. "Gelay. Are you sure na kaya 'mong pakisamahan 'yang halimaw nating boss?." kinakabahang bulong ko sa kanya.

She looked at me, tumango at ngumiti. Pero alam 'kong may paga-alinlangan siya. "Y-yes. I can do it. Kesa, pareho tayong mawalan ng trabaho, kakayanin ko na lang."

She said then she smiled. I sighed, as i answered her a nod. "Fine. But, always talk to me if you needed. " she just answer a nod and a weak smile.

Ayoko man siyang iwan dito sa office ng walang hiyang halimaw na to, pero kailangan e. Kahit naman matapang ako, takot din naman akong mawalan ng trabaho.

Just like Gelay, mag-isa na lang din ako. Wala akong taong pwedeng takbuhan at matutuluyan pag natanggal ako dito sa kompanya.

I let go of her hand as i started to walk away. When i finally reached the door, and i'm holding the doorknob. Accidentally i heard what that monster said.

"Don't you ever dare to have a feelings for me, dahil pag nangyari 'yun you're life will be miserable. And, hindi din naman kita magugustuhan. So, you better do your job good." seryoso at puno ng awtoridad na sabi nito. I'm sure kausap nya na si Gelay.

That monster, akala nya ba gwapo siya para magustuhan nang lahat? Oo, inaamin 'kong gwapo siya pero hindi naman sya marunong rumespeto.

And for me, a man who knows how to respect others is the kind of man who will love you until the end.

At itong si Monster. I'm sure wala 'tong lovelife kaya bitter. Tssk. Bwisit talaga sya?'!!!
