Omen
Few days after. I went back to the company to work. As usual I did my part. Dad and Tito went out to have an another errand with the Citigroup.
We were told to look after our company. I was inside my office the whole morning to check the updates and files.
"Gillian. Do you have the hard copy of Mr. Lincoln's file?" Sabi ko habang hindi pa rin inaalis ang tingin sa laptop.
"Yes Miss Wendy," aniya ng mailapag ang coffee sa table ko.
Agad siyang lumabas para kuhanin ang pinautos ko. Pinagpapatuloy pa rin ang ginagawa hanggang sa maramdaman ang pagbalik niya sa office.
"Thank you Gillian," I smiled politely at her before she nodded and went out of my office again.
I was stressing out hanggang sa napag-isipan na kumain na muna. Nagpadeliver na lang din ako dahil hindi ako pwedeng bumaba at marami pa akong tatapusin.

I just got home. Still working?
Napangiti ako sa gitna ng pag-iisip. Agad kong kinuha ang phone at nag reply sa kanya.
To: Rad
Yes. You should rest. Alam kong pagod ka.
I bit my lower lip. I'm just happy everytime his name pop out of my phone. Hindi ko alam pero agad na nawawala ang pagod ko kapag nakikita ang simpleng mensahe niya.
Or maybe it's just the urge of missing him. Sa mga nagdaang araw ay mas lalo ko lang na hinahanap ang presensya niya.
Naisip ko rin na malapit na pala ang anniversary namin. The thought of it makes me want to see him. We've been together for almost seven years!
Hindi pa rin makapaniwala. That we made it this far. I just hope that he's my end game. Dahil hindi ko kakayanin kapag hindi siya ang makakasama ko.
From: Rad
Yeah. I wish I could call you. Just don't stress that much at work. I love you.
I'm really into the plan. Balak ko talagang umuwi sa anniversary namin para e surprise siya. I just did not ask Dad about this but I will try.
I will find a way to have my schedule clear dahil gusto ko ako naman ang pupunta sa kanya.
Kaya naman. Buong maghapon kong tinapos ang gagawin. Sa susunod na araw pa uwi nila Dad. Kaya we were said to take in charge of everything.
Kinagabihan. Agad akong nagpasundo sa driver at sinalubong sina Mom ng makauwi. I kissed her cheek as I went inside the kitchen and saw her with Tita Carmona making a dinner.
"I'm glad you're here Wendy. We're making a dinner tonight!" Ani Tita.
I looked down to see them cooking. It was a roasted chicken and some garden salad. May mga dessert din kaya halos mamangha ako sa nakita.
"I felt hungry already," sabi ko habang pinagmamasdan ang pagkain.
They both chuckled at my statement.
"Don't worry, we're almost done sweety." ani Mom kaya ngumiti na lang ako.
"Alright. I'll just change first," sabi ko at agad silang tinalikuran.
Agad akong umakyat para maglinis at magpalit ng damit. I spent fifteen minutes inside the bathroom before I went out wearing new clothes.
Naabutan ko rin si Edmund sa hagdan na paakyat pa lang.
"You're early," I said.
"You're suspicious,"
I chuckled at his statement. Agad ko siyang nilagpasan at dumeretso na sa hapag. Nakita ko rin si Diane na nakapwesto na sa mesa.
