Leo's POV

"Overtime, Again?" Napaangat ang tingin ko sa aking senior dito sa opisina, si Ms. Arevallo. She was already packed and ready to go home. I smile at her.

"Yes," I answered then went back my gaze to over the reports of today's performance. I still need to finish scanning and input this reports in right layouts.

"Hmm. Umuwi ka ng maaga ha, Maaga, hindi umaga" she reminded, giggling. Napangiti na lang ako at hinayaan na makaalis si Ms. Arevallo. She then bid her farewell then I heard the door opened and closed.

Wala nang ibang tao dito maliban sa akin. I've been overtiming for about 6 months already. I have to because I need money. I badly need money for myself and for her.

Eventhough Ms. Arevallo reminded me not to go home at morning, I still finished work 'til 4 am. Dagdag sahod naman so okay lang kahit mapagod. I stretched my arms after I packed all my things. May mga tao na dito sa opisina 'di tulad kanina. Nasa iisang kwarto kasi ang ilang departments kaya marami-rami kami dito. Nasa oras ng tanghali hanggang gabi ang sched ko kaya marami talagang nakakakilala sa akin dito dahil sa ilang buwan kong pag-oovertime.

"Uuwi kana?" Napalingon ako sa likod ko kung nasaan si Jessa, kasabayan ko siyang nag-apply dito. We're in the different department and we have different time schedule. She sat down in her cubicle, which were behind mine.

"Yeah. Dadalawin ko po si mama," I said then put the strap of my bag in my right shoulder.

" Sana gumaling na siya."

"Salamat." I said, smiling to her. I immidiately went outside the room and went downstair and logged myself out for yesterday.

As I was walking to get to the terminal of bus, I smelled a sweet scent coming from nowhere. I thought of ignoring it but I couldn't. It's like a smell of flowers and I wasn't wrong when a cart came across the street. There's a name above written with attractive design and decorated with flowers.

ValleyBrink Flower Shop

A stall of flower shop? So unusual but it's good to see. Sakto lang dahil binabalak ko talagang bumili ng bulaklak. Isa pa, baka mura lang ang meron siya. Unlike sa shops talaga, minsan hindi ko kayang bilhin. Well, flowers were somehow expensive but worth it to buy if you'll be giving it to someone important to you.

Nakatawid sa pedestrian ang cart at napalapit sa pwesto ko. A woman were paddling her cart. I immidiately went her when she parked her cart near a park.

"Hi!" She greeted me with a big smile. She's wearing a cute uniform like she's really working in a shop. In her left chest, there was a pin where her name was written, Hailey Francisco.

"Hello," pagbati ko. Napakadaming bulaklak sa kanyang malaking cart. I don't even know the flowers' names but it's great that there are nameplates for every flower in there.
