While we are on the way to the office, nagtatalo ang utak ko kung tatanungin ko na naman ba siya about sa ginawa niya. Alam ko naman kasing walang kwenta isasagot niya!
At the end naisipan ko nalang siya taungin.
"Babayaran ko po kayo pag nakuha ko na sweldo ko Sir." I said politely.
He then looked at me for a second, Then looked straight ahead again.
Akala ko hindi na naman siya sasagot.
"No need." His voice being very bold.
Napanguso ako sa kaniyang sagot. Ayoko na makipag-tao, basta bibigay ko sakaniya yun kapag sweldo na!
Nang makarating kami sa office ay bumaba na ako sa sasakyan. Naunang bumaba sa akin si Sir at nagdire-diretso papasok sa loob.
Pagpasok ko nakita ko si Nathan na nakaabang.
"Good Morning Avi! Can I call you Avi? Haba ng Aviana eh." He asked me while putting him arm behind his head.
"Ah, oo naman!" I answered enthusiastically.
"Okay Avi, so it's day 2 of our training, let's go?" He then gestured his hand to the elevator.
I smiled at him and we went to the elevator to the training floor.
Pagdating namin doon ay nagsimula agad si Nathan sa pageexplain sa akin ng aking mga gawain bilang sekretarya.
Magkaharap kami ni Nathan sa Swivel Chair ng makarinig kami ng malakas na pagbagsak!
Pag tingin ko sa pinanggalingan ng tunog ay nakita ko si Sir Darius na may dala dalang mga papel. Yun pala ang binagsak niya!
"Revise this all Nathan, and you Ms. Dela Cruz, come with me." His eyes was very deep and expressive.
Iniwan niya kami agad agad pagkatapos ng kaniyang sinabi. Nagpaalam ako kaagad kay Nathan na susundan na ang aming Boss.
Nakasabay ko pa siya sa Elevator. Pinindot niya ang 60th floor at habang nasa elevator ay hindi ko mapigilan na mailang. Napakatahimik at ramdam na ramdam ko ang bigat ng paghinga niya.
Problema nito?!
Nang sa wakas at bumukas na ang elevator ay nauna siya ulit lumabas. Sinundan ko na lamang siya papasok ng kaniyang opisina.
"Do you need anything Sir" I asked.
"From now on, I will be training you for your position."
Nalaglag na naman ang panga ko.
CEO? Ang magtatrain? Huh?
"P-po? Bakit po?" I asked confused.
He just hissed at me and looked down his papers.
Nakatayo lang ako sa kaniyang harapan gulong gulo.
Paano niya ako itatrain? Hindi ba may trabaho din sya? Tsaka kaya nga ako naging secretary para pagsilbihan siya!
He noticed I was just standing there, he looked up at me.
"What do you want? Am I not clear? I don't like repeating what I said." He said annoyed.
Medyo nagulat ako doon kaya napatango na lamang ako. Lumabas na ako ng kaniyang opisina at napasandal sa pintuan.
Jusko ano na naman to! Sumasakit ulo ko sakaniya!
Biglang bumukas ang pintuan sa likuran ko kaya napasubsob ako patalikod!
Sa sobrang taranta ko at kagustuhang hindi madapa ay kumapit ako sa ibang bagay!
Tangina ano tong kinakapitan ko? Bakit ang tigas?
Unti unti akong humarap at nakita ang muka ni Sir Darius na nakapikit. Tila nagpipigil.
Napatingin naman ako sa kamay ko at biglang hinila ito! Bobo ka Aviana! Ari 'yang hinawakan mo gaga!
Sa sobrang taranta ko sa nangyari ay napatakbo ako palayo. Dumiretso ako sa banyo at naghabol ng hininga.
Nakakahiya! Ano ba Aviana! Bakit kung saan saan ka kase humahawak! Wag ka na magtaka kung bukas na bukas din wala ka ng trabaho!
Napasabunot ako sa aking buhok. Nakakainis!
Tumagal ako ng halos labing limang minuto sa loob ng banyo. Hindi ko alam paano haharapin si Sir Darius.
Lumabas na ako sa banyo at dumiretso sa aking cubicle sa labas ng opisina ni Sir Darius.
Nakaupo lang ako doon at hinihintay na may ipagawa or iutos siya.
Biglang tumunog ang elevator hudyat na may umakyat.
Pagbukas ng elevator nakita ko ang isang lalaki. Naglakad siya patungo sa akin.
"Hi miss! Is Darius inside?" He said smiling widely.
Medyo napatanga ako ng sandali. Ang gwapo din kasi niya!
"A-ah, Good Day Sir! Yes he's inside. D-do you have an appointment?" I asked.
He chuckled. "Just tell him River is here."
I quickly pressed the intercom.
"Hello Sir?" I asked.
"What?" He told me coldly again.
"A certain Sir River is here, should I let him in?" I asked politely.
I heard him say his "Fucks" and told me to let him in.
I smiled at the man and gestured him the door.
"You may come in Sir" I smiled.
He then winked at me.
"You're pretty, what's your name miss?"
I blushed a bit.
"A-ah I'm Aviana sir."
Bago pa siya makasagot bumukas ng malakas ang pintuan sa opisina ni Sir Darius!
"Get in fucker" He said then went inside his office again.
I heard Sir River chuckled and went inside the office.
I was dumbfounded. Medyo sumakit tenga ko sa lakas ng pagkakabukas sa pintuan.
After some while I heard the intercom tinged.
"Yes Sir what do you need?" I asked.
"Please bring us some snacks and coffee." I was a bit stunned from his tone. It was kind of soft.
"R-right away S-sir." I stuttered!
I quickly went to his pantry room and got some coffee. I made Sir River the same coffee blend as Sir Darius always have. Only one tablespoon of sugar. A little bit of creamer.
I also got two slices of cake and biscuits.
I knocked at the door three times before entering. I saw them both facing adjacent from each other.
"Here's your snacks and coffee Sir." I bended over to place the foods on the table.
I heard Sir Darius murmuring something I can't hear and Sir River laughing at Sir Darius.
Anong meron?
I bowed my head slightly and turned around to get out.
I went back to my cubicle and just used my laptop to avoid boredom. After I think an hour, I saw Sir River getting out the office.
I heard him chuckle again. Ang saya naman niya lagi.
"Thank you again Aviana. You are very interesting, As told." He told me.
"A-ah You're welcome po." I didn't know what his second phrase meant.
"Anyway I'll get going. I hope to see you again" He smiled then went to the elevator.
Hindi ko naintindihan ang kaniyang sinabi.
Everyone is acting weird.
