Chapter Fourteen

I was scheduled for a new contact lens. Medyo sumasakit na iyong mata ko doon sa dati. Kakarating ko lang sa clinic.

They did some eye test and so on and so fort before giving me my new contact.

Kaya kinabukasan ay talagang sinigurado kong nakapaglagay ako bago pumasok sa trabaho.

"Mat,"

"Ow?"

"You wouldn't believe what happen." Sabi ko pa nang pababa na kami sa tricycle. "Sir Pio saw my real eyes. I was so clumsy that I forgot to wear some contact lens."

"Oh! How did he react?"

"He just asked if I'm wearing a contact lens and I said yes, given by you actually."

Umiling iling sya. "Good thing nauso ang mga reason. So you have a reason for that to save your ass."

I made a face and walked straight.

Wala si Sir Pio sa restaurant nang isang linggo. But Ma'am Aina was there to guide us.

I don't know but I feel relief. And oh my god, Justine! What's really happening to you? I don't know. It all started when I kissed him. Ganyan na lagi, iyong ano ba, natataranta na ako kapag nandyan sya. Tinitingnan ko bawat kilos nya. Damn it!

"Welcome back, Sir Pio!!" They screamed when Sir Pio opened the door.

Pumalakpak pa sila. It is one sunny afternoon and we're all busy.

"Hi!" Nakangiti nyang bati agad. "How's my palace?"

"Good as hell," sagot ni Ma'am Aina na humalik sa pisngi ni Sir Pio. "Almost one month kang wala ah. How's the Food Corp? Pinahihirapan ka ata ni Tito Danny."

"Nah. It's good actually. Marami lang bagong import so Dad really needs me."

I blinked when he turn his gaze at my side. Humawak ako sa tray at tumalikod na.

"How's the sales?"

"Increasing." Sagot ni Matilda sa kanya.

"Ang sarap sa tenga."

After nang ilang batian uli na akala mo'y matagal na nawala si Sir ay bumalik na kami lahat sa pagtatrabaho.

Naglilinis na kami para sa pagsasara ng restaurant nang may dumating na deliver na pagkain from fast food chain.

"Kanino po?" Kuya Raven asked.

"Dito iyong Belle Ame na restaurant diba?" Iyong delivery boy.

"Yes! Pakilapag nalang dun sa table. Raven, can you please help him?" Lumabas si Sir Pio sa opisina nya.

Tumango si Kuya Raven at tinulungan ang delivery boy. Lahat kami ay  nagtaka kung bakit may pa-deliver pa.

Sir Pio closes the door and smiled at us.

"Treat ko! Since everyone of you is doing great!" He casually said. "At alam kong sawa na kayo sa pagkain dito sa restaurant so I ordered for fast food. Kain na muna tayo bago kayo umuwi."

Everyone cheered. Hinila pa ako ni Matilda doon para makisalo. Lahat sila ay tinatanong si Sir Pio kung tuluyan na ba daw na ituturn over sa kanya ang Fold Corp nila.

"Hindi ko pa alam kasi. Pero sana ibigay na sakin ni Dad."

"Buti din Sir, hindi nyo nakaagaw si Sir Ramgiorel sa kompanya nyo no?" Si Kuya Kiko.

"Ayaw nya sa kompanya. He wants to be doctor eversince we were young."

"Hindi, mahal na mahal lang ni Ram si Pio kaya hindi na nya pinili pang makipagagawan." singit ni Ma'am Aina. At ngumisi pa kay Sir.
