Alcavar Dynasty: THE BLACK SHEEP [COMPLETE]

Fourteen: Talo

"Miss Alcavar, what happened?"

Ramdam ko ang panic sa boses ni Dennis sa kabilang linya.

"It's settled. Leslie will tell you the details regarding this matter. Sa ngayon, I might stay here for a while and I'll fix this problem here."

"Okay,please let me know if you need anything else and I'm more than willing to help."

"Okay, sure. Thanks."

Nang ibaba ko ang cellphone ko ay napahawak ako sa sentido ko. I'm sitting inside the conference room matapos damputin ng mga pulis ang gagong Director nila dito sa Cebu satellite office.

"Ma'am, gusto nyo po ba ng tubig?"

Napalingon ako kay Leslie na hawak hawak ang folder kung saan nakalagay ang punyetang papel na kinuha ko kanina.

"No. Uh,"

Napaisip ako. Wala nga pala akong contact number ni Rosa dahil wala syang cellphone. Hay nako! Di ko tuloy masasabi na hindi ako makakapunta sa bukid ng ilang araw.

"Ano po?"

Napalingon ako ulit kay Leslie.

"Ahh, ayun. I need you to get me some documents and ask Gina for help. I'm sure she knows everything around here. We'll be staying here for a little while."

Tumango tango ito at saka umalis. I decided to run this office habang nag hahanap ng ipopromote by observing their work ethics, personality and performance.

Napasandal ako sa swivel chair. Thinking about what happened between us last night and Goddamn it I can't help but to smile. So wide. Feeling ko lahat ng ngipin ko nakalabas. Napapakagat ako ng labi sa kilig. I absentmindedly looked at my palms.

"We felt it, right? We felt her. Diba?"

I facepalmed while smiling pagkatapos ay sumandal ulit at tumitig sa ceiling.

"I tasted it, Rosa. I felt it. You subtly told me you want me."

I can't help but smile.

"Ayy ayoko na pala isipin yun. Wala lang pala yun sayo. Pero sakin meron eh. Rosa para sakin meron. Dahil sa nararamdaman ko para sayo."

Bulong ko sa isip ko.

Napailing iling ako at nakaramdam ulit ng inis. Bahala sya dyan. Kaibigan lang naman pala ako, wala lang naman yun so I shouldn't worry about me not being able to contact her. I shrugged my shoulders at saka tumayo. I am going to take rounds and see how employees are doing while in my head, I'm still trying to convince myself that I don't care about what happened last night.

"Leslie, na book mo na ba yung Airbnb natin?"

I asked Leslie as I look at my watch while walking towards the elevator.

"Yes ma'am, nakapag kita na kami kanina ng owner nabigay na po sakin yung key."

Tumango tango ako.

"Oh, right. Nag sabi ka nga pala sa akin kanina."

Na pat ko ang noo ko. I'm getting forgetful these days.

"Let's have a drink tonight."

Napalingon sa akin si Leslie. Alam ko namang bihira lang sya uminom, Pero gusto ko lang mag unwind ngayong gabi.

"Si-sige po ma'am."

"Wooooooooohh!!!! Yeeeeeeeeaaah!!!"

This place welcomed us with blue and red lights dancing all over the place, drunk-dancing people, and tables filled with other guests that enjoy watching drunk people fire up the dance floor.
