The Stripper

Prologue

The Stripper

"Dude, you look stress lately! Why don't you just chill and relax?" Jayvee asked, my cousin na prenteng nakaupo sa couch ng aking opisina habang kumakain pa ng ubas sa center table.

I took a glance on him habang nagkatutok sa laptop. I sighed.

"You know I can't. I have a lot of works to do besides baka dito na ako matulog sa opisina." Pagod ko'ng sambit.

"Dude?! Like really? Give yourself a break nandiyan naman ang secretary mo, sige ka baka mabaliw ka" aniya habang kumakain pa rin ng ubas. This jerk, di talaga nakuntento at kinuha pa ang lahat ng ubas saka lumipat sa tabi ko.

"Oh oh oh! Now I know why!" Asik nito habang tumatawang nakatitig sa laptop ko habang patuloy pa ding kumakain ng ubas.

"Umalis ka na nga dito! Mabulunan ka sana!" Pagtataboy ko sa kanya at saka ibinalik ang titig sa stolen shot picture ng aking secretary na si serina. smiled.

Beautiful as ever...... I like her since day one but she doesn't even know. I still remember how she begged just to accept her to work for me as my personal assistant secretary. Napatigil ako sa pag iisip sa kanya nang sumigaw si Jayvee.

"Dude! You're inlove with Serina?! HAHAHA I knew it. The way you look at her kaya siguro ayaw mo mag relax kase mamimiss mo si Miss Secretary" tawa ito ng tawa.

Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin. At mukhang nasindak ang mokong.

"W-woah, what did I do?" he said with confusion in his eyes.

"Are you that close to my Serina at talagang tinatawag mo siya sa first name niya?"

"Oh well, I can say that, bud" he said while chuckling at buti nga... he choked. At nang medyo okay na siya ay di na naman niya ako tinigilan ng tanong.

"Dude? Are you really inlove with her?" He asked in a serious tone.

"I don't know? maybe I do like her but not love? I guess?"

Agad nagsalubong ang kilay ko ng may narealize ako.

"What the fuck, Jayvee? Why are bugging me huh? Why do you keep on asking me about her? And what the hell you care if I like or love her? What is it with you anyway?" I accused while panting. Damn he's getting into my nerves. What if he likes her? No. No damn freaking way! I thought he likes Charmaine? Pero di pa sila, they were on courting stage.

"Dude! Chill! I don't like or have hots on your girl! For fuck's sake! I have my Cha-cha!"

"You make sure, Jayvee. Don't you dare." I said with gritting.

Itinaas niya ang kanang kamay na may ubas. "Yeah, right."

"Tangina bakit ka nga pala nandito?"

"Oh that! As I was saying about my Cha-cha. The courting stage was now over. She's my girlfriend now." He looks happy pero dahil wala na ako sa mood magalit ay Inasar ko siya.

"Then? I don't care about happenings on you. So why come here and bugging me?" I teased him na nakapagpasimangot ng mukha niya.

"Yon nga! I'm here to tell you na girlfriend ko na si Cha! Finally!! At dahil masaya ako. I am inviting you to come to celebrate it in Lavery club."

"And as I fucking told you earlier. I'm busy"

Umingos ito at bumalik sa kinauupuan niya kanina.

"Ayan! Look at you! Paano ka magkaka love life niyan kung tutok ka sa trabaho kaya nga hanggang ngayon hanggang tingin ka pa rin kay Serina!

"Why not? I always see her here. That's okay for me."

"Sus! Humanap ka nalang iba. Simula ata ng ibigay na sayo itong company naging good boy ka na! Wala ka ng babae. HAHAHAHA so weak, dude!"

"Fuck you!" I hissed dahil asar na ako sa kanya.

"Aba nagpapaka stick ka na diyan ah. That's an improvement for you but my bad... I want you -----"

"Damn you freak! Get out now! You're disturbing me at saka bitawan mo na yang grapes ko! Palitan mo iyan! Napakatakaw mo!"

"Sus inlove ka lang! Basta pumunta ka!" Okay. I won't deny anymore.

I grinned. "Well.... pero totoo I really have a lot of works to do" sabi ko habang pinapatay ang laptop.

"You sure dude? Ah basta I need you there! Bye dude I love you to the highest level!" Aniya at lumabas sa opisina ko ng humahalakhak dala ang grapes na paubos na dahil sa pagkain niya.

Hayss.. tsk I still have a lot of works to do pero kailangan ko umattend sa celebration kuno nila ni Cha. Those weirds. I rested my head on my swivel chair and took a glance on my wrist watch, It's 4:37 pm. I closed my eyes to relieve stress.

Minutes had passed until I heard someone opened the door. I opened ny eyes at umayos ng upo. I saw Serina na nakangiti and as usual. My heart is darn beating quick feeling ko ay kakapusin ako ng hininga pag nakikita ko siya.

"Goodnoon Sir Ron..." mahinhin nitong bati habang papalapit sa aking table at inilapag nito ang mga papeles.

"Goodnoon too, what is it?" I asked with blank expression while looking at those papers.

"I'm done signing these papers for Tulong Kapatid Charity, Sir." She said still wearing her smile.

"And??" masungit kong sambit.

Napakagat labi siya dahil sa pagsusungit ko . Fuck! she's damn hot doing that. Gustong gusto ko na sya halikan kundi lang dahil nirerespeto ko sya.

"Pirma niyo nalang po ang kulang sir" naiilang nitong sambit.

"Okay. Come back here after fifteen minutes" I said in a cold way.

"Okay, sir. Call me if you need anything,sir"
mahina nitong sambit. Hindi ko ito tinugon at ibinaling ang titig ko sa mga pipirmahan ko nang narinig ko ang pagsarado ng pinto.

Hinawi ko ang kurtina and I saw her through the glass wall, nakikipag usap siya sa mga ka officemates niyang babae. I can see her clearly even when I'm inside my office dahil glass wall ito at kalapit lang ng office ko ang opisina niya. And the good thing is kaya ko syang pagmasdan pag nasa opisina siya dahil ang glass wall na ito ay hindi nakikita ang nasa loob ng office ko but anyone in my office ay makikita ang kabuoan ng kanyang silid. It's a one way mirror.

And. She doesn't even know that the walls around my office is a one way mirror dahil sa natatakluban ito ng kurtina.

Binalingan ko muli ang mga pipirmahan. I finished signing the papers at binalingan ko si Emjae. Hindi na sya nakikipagusap sa mga babae niyang ka officemates dahil nakikipag usap na ito sa isang lalaki empleyado. Now I'm irrirated.

Tumawag ako sa office niya. I'm sure maririnig niya iyo dahil bukas ang pinto ng opisina niya. Hinawi ko ang kurtina upang panoodin siya. I grinned when I saw her running to her table at mukhang natataranta.

"Sir?" Napabalik ako sa aking wisyo ng sumagot siya.

"I'm done signing the papers" I ended the call. Hinawi ko pabalik ang kurtina at saktong pumasok siya sa office ko at kinuha ang papeles.

I stand and start wearing my coat. "Cancel all my upcoming meetings today" after that I leave the office at sumakay sa elevator.

Nang makapasok na ako sa elevator ay pinindot ko ang ground floor para puntahan ang sasakyan. I brushed my hair using my fingers. Damn my heart is still beating quick. I should stop this. This is fucking wrong. I should stop liking her that's why I am always acting cold towards her. I don't want this feeling 'cause daddy might not like it.
