"hey?? Saicey??" - someone asked
Shit!!!
Niyakap ko agad si saicey, hiding myself from her.
I know from the voice na its a girl, she sounds familiar, maybe yung mga kaworkmate ni saicey. I dont know their name actually, but im sure yun yung katabi ni saicey sa desk nya.
I dont know kung anong sinabi ni saicey, or nireact dahil i didnt heard anything from her, but i heard na umalis na yung girl, kaya kumalas na ako sa hug to look kay saicey.
Nakakunot yung noo nya, confused staring at me.
"you hiding from liana??" - she confusingly asked
I shake my head, as a no.
"no, why would i?? I just know how religious you are. And ayaw mong malaman ng kawork mate mo yung satin" - i said
Nawala yung kunot sa noo nya, there's something on her eyes na i cant read.
"baby! Pinakilala na kita sa parents ko, i even bring you to church, and di nila tanggap kung ano tayo, kaya i choose na umalis sa church. So why would you think na ayaw kong malaman ng iba na akin ka?? Na sayo ako?? I made it official sa parents ko, na gusto kita. So i never want to hide you! "- she seriously said
And thats i realized.
Na oo nga!!
Napakilala nya na ako sa parents nya, she even fight for me sa churchmate nya.. Even to my step mom.
Im just being careful no. Ayaw ko namang biglang mag activate yung dating religious side ng baby girl ko.
"but ikaw?? Do you want to hide me ba??" - she sadly said
Umiling ako agad, and softly hold her chin.
"never!! Never kong itatagong akin ka!! I want everyone to know na your mine!!" - seryosong sabi ko
"good!! Because im gonna get mad if itinago mo ako!!! Hindi mo na nga ako pinansin noon, itatago mo pa ako" - tampo nyang sabi
I smiled and pecked her lips.
"no baby! Never baby girl. Come on, pumasok ka na. At baka di ko mapigilan na ipasok ka sa kotse" - i sweetly said
She smiled and nodded, she lean on me and kissed my cheeks,
"take care ah. Chat me, update me!! I love you" - she said and pecked my lips before maglakad papasok ng building
"i love you too, take care ah!!" - sigaw ko enough for her to heard me
She looked back at me, and waved her hand. Kaya i waved at her too.
I waited for her na makapasok ng building bago ako sumakay, at mag drive papunta sa bar.
I dont know why!! But my mind was somewhere.
Sobrang nagtatampo si saicey sa akin for what i did. And now?! I fucking made her feel, na she didn't caught my eyes sa una naming pag kikita.
Nakarating ako ng bar, at dumeretso ako sa rooftop, sa office ko.
SAICEY DE JULES POV
Im here right now sa cubicle ko, kakaopen lang ng computer ko.
I smiled how i remember what happened yesterday!!
Is it possible na kahihiwalay lang namin pero namimiss ko na sya?? Wala pa ngang isang oras eh.
Gosh baby.
I miss you already
Kinuha ko yung phone ko, pumunta ako agad sa message. Wala pa syang text or even chat. Baka nasa byahe pa.
Kaya i send her a text.
To : baby
Working na ako baby. I miss you already baby. Nasa bar ka na ba?? Chat or text me ha! Update me. I love you ayden
I smiled, now i can freely tell her how much i love her.
I know wala pa kaming label, sa totoo lang, gusto ko ng magkaroon ng kami. But ayaw kong maging easy to get.
Di nya naman kailangang manligaw, all i want is tanungin nya ako to be hers. Thats enough for me.
Pero sana, sa beach ulit?? I wanted that day na bumalik, para maitama ko yung pag kakamali ko.
Now, kailangan kong mag trabaho, i wanted to be done early as i can, ayaw ko namang pag antayin si ayden, sa parking lot lalo na at lagi nya akong sinusundo.
I worked and worked, doing the things needed to be done.
"hey, who's the guy na kayakap mo kanina sa entrance??" - liana asked
Napatingin ako sa kanya, nakasmirked sya, staring at me.
"wow. Tama ba narinig ko?? May kayakap ka saicey?? And its a public affection ahh. I didnt know na may boyfriend ka" - ernita said
I smiled, hiding the fact na kinikilig ako while remembering that the guy they were talking about is ayden.
I wanted to tell them na its ayden. But not now. I wanted to tell them pag kami na.
"actually, were still not together. But yeah, gusto ko sya" - i shyly said
"from the back view kanina. Mukhang gwapo yun ahhh" - liana said
I smiled and nodded.
"beautifully handsome actually" - i cheerfully said
Tinaasan nila ako ng kilay, like they were reading me.
"i guess tinamaan ka ng love ah! Mula umpisa this is the first time we saw you na ngumiti, like genuinely!!" - liana said
"yeah. Now i know what love is" - i said
Napatahimik kami ng biglang bumukas yung entrance, at pumasok si ma'am jamaica
Lahat ng employees napatingin sa kanya, specially at kasama nya yung secretary nya na namimigay na ng paper.
Pag abot sa akin ng papel, its a invitations sa mamahaling restaurant.
"there's a celebration next week for successful design galing sa new model natin, mikaela. So i want to treat everyone on this department dahil magaling yung prepare ng shoot, and editing. So lets have dinner next week, okey"- maam jamaica announce
Nag hiyawan sila, of course libreng dinner yun. And its daughters owner request. At celebration na din dahil successful yung pinag hihirapan naming project.
"annd i have a announcement that day. So be there okey!!" - ma'am jamaica sternly said
They all agreed, but di maiwasan yung bulungan, dahil sa announcement.
Announcement??
"that's all, go back to work" - ma'am jamaica said before syang umalis
Uupo na sana ako, kaso biglang lumapit sa akin yung secretary ni ma'am jamaica.
"ma'am jamaica wanted to talk to you. After lunch break" - her secretary said
I furrowed my eyebrows, pero tumango ako, sang ayon sa sinabi nya. Kaya umalis na din sya. Talked?? What kind of talk naman yun??
Napatingin ako sa oras, and yup!! Lunch break na.
Kinuha ko agad yung phone ko, to my disappointment, walang text si ayden. Miski isa, thats unusual
Maybe busy sya??
Busy sa bar?? Why i feel something wasnt right. Like there's something bothering me, but ano yun??
I heavy sighed, i dont want to overthink. I trust her.
Im sure wala naman syang gagawin dun.
I decided na itext nalang sya.
To : Baby
Busy?? Im getting worried ayden. Update me. Okey. I love you, cant wait to see you
After kong isend yung message ko, tinago ko na yung phone ko.
Bakit di kaya sya nagchat?? Should i call her?? Baka naman magalit sya? Specially at nasa work sya.
Pero kasi - -
"saicey??"
Napatingin ako kay liana, nakatingin sya sa akin while snapping her finger sa harap ko.
"kanina ka pa namin tinatawag, 30mins nalang yung lunch, sasabay ka ba sa amin?? Or di ka na naman kakain?? Like dati??" - liana asked
"i will go" - bigla kong sabi
Inayos ko muna lahat, before akong tumayo at sumabay sa kanila papunta sa canteen.
After naming umorder ng food, we all settled down sa isang table. I prayed, before akong kumain.
"by the way saicey. How's your diet??" - ernira asked
I furrowed my eyebrows
"diet??" - i asked
"yup!! Halos isang taon lagpas din yun, na di ka sumabay sa amin kumain.. Sabi mo nasa diet ka. But this passed few months, sumasabay ka na din sa amin" - liana asked
Napangiti ako sa sinabi nila, im not on a diet. Wala lang akong gana kumain.
But after maging okey namin ni ayden, lagi na akong may energy for everything. Even though akala ko may sila ni mikaela
"actually im not on diet that time. Nawala kasi yung taong mahal ko sa akin nun. Yung nakita mo kanina liana?? I made a mistake, pinagtabuyan ko sya. I realised na mahal ko sya, nung sinabi nyang kakalimutan nya na ako, at di na ako kukulitin.. I fixed myself para sa kanya, para pag pinuntahan ko sya, maging okey kami. But bigla syang nawala na parang bula. And kakakita lang namin actually, kaya gusto kong bumawi sa kanya. Even though wala pa kaming label, i make sure na ipaparamdam ko sa kanya kung gaano ko sya kamahal" - i sincerely said
They were looking at me with an aww on their faces.
While me?? Nakangiti ako sa kanila, proudly. Ang sarap sa pakiramdam, ikwento yung taong mahal ko.
"awww i want to meet that guy saicey. Pakilala mo sa amin" - liana said
"soon. I will asked muna, ayaw ko namang mabigla sya" - i said
"okey. Asahan namin yan ahh" - ernira said
I smiled and nodded at them. Nagkwentuhan kami, medyo nagugulat nga sila dahil palasalita na ako.
After naming kumain, we decided na umakyat na sa office. But dumeretso ako sa office ni ma'am jamaica, dahil gusto nya daw akong makausap.
"hi??" - i said sa secretary na nasa tapat ng office ni ma'am jamaica
"wait there muna, kumakain pa si ma'am" - her secretary said
I nodded at umupo muna sa waiting seat sa tabi ng office.
Kinuha ko yung phone, napangiti ako ng may message ako galing kay ayden
From : Baby
Sorry baby girl, di ako nakachat. Daming problem sa bar eh, on the way ako right now ng malabon para ipaayos at tignan yung branch ko dun. Dont worry, andyan na ako before mag uwian mo. Take care sexy ahh. I love you saicey
I heavy sighed, i wished hindi sya gaanong naiistress.
Napangiti ako, ng makarecieve ako ulit ng message, its her picture.
Nakahinga ako ng maluwag ng nakangiti sya sa picture at nakawinked pa.
From : baby
Dont stress yourself sa work ah.. Dont worry about me, nawala stress ko sa chat mo this morning. See you later, cant wait to kiss you.
I smiled, she can really read me, like an opened book, that no one can.
Gosh baby.
I really love you.
I decided, to take a photo. I make sure na maganda ako, of course bago ko isend kay ayden.
Ayaw ko namang ma turn off sya sa akin no.
"ma'am saicey, pwede na po kayong pumasok" - ma'am jamaica secretary said
I smiled at her at tumango.
To: baby
Take care ah! Be loyal baby. See you later i love you too
I send ayden a message bago ko, itago phone ko. At pumasok sa office ni ma'am jamaica.
Pag pasok ko, napatingin agad sa akin si maam jamaica
"hi?? Good Afternoon. Sorry to disturb you, but can i have a request saicey??" - bigla nyang sabi
I dont know, pero di ko gusto yung tono nya. Like, hindi ko magugustuhan yung next na sasabihin nya.
"a-ano po yun??" -tanong ko
"wag mo na akong i'po' magkaedad lang tayo, soon baka ako pa maging sister in law mo" - she softly said
Mag sasalita na sana ako but biglang Bumuntong hininga si jamaica. Kaya di ako nag salita
Tinignan nya ako straight sa mata. Bakit parang ang saya saya ng mata nya?? But sobrang nakakatakot yung aura nya.
Gosh
"i want you to hide your relationship with ayden. Ayaw kong malaman ng mga worker sa company, specially sa mga nakakataas" - she sternly said
W-w-what??
Gusto nyang itago ko si ayden??
"po??" - tanong ko
Okey naman sya sa relation namin ni Ayden nung sa party ng dad nya.
Pero bakit ganito??
"dad wants na iannounce na kapatid ko si ayden. And im happy to announce that, but-" she said
Napangiti ako sa narinig ko, im sure magiging masaya yun si ayden. Maybe she's cold sa mata ng tao??
But behind that intimadating ayden, i know she's soft hearted
Pero bakit may 'but'
Her aura change, she became cold. But her eyes?? Salungat sa itsura nya.
"almost all the daughter ng mga may share sa company ay gusto si ayden. Ayaw kong malaman nilang may babaeng gusto si ayden. Dahil baka lahat mag withdraw ng share at masira ang company" - straight na sabi ni jamaica
Wh-what???
TO BE CONTINUED...
