THE UNLUCKY CALDERON (COMPLETED)

12

PAL POV

Naa ko run sa opisina ni Mr. Calderon. Ambot lang sad nganong diri ko gi dala sa akong tiil.

Gikan diay ko ug airport kay nagpaligis ko sa eroplano.

Char.

Gihatod bitaw nako akong bespren nga amaw kay mo uli na daw s'yag Greece. Tapos pag take off sa eroplano, nigawas nakos airport ug nidiritso diris company ni Mr. Calderon.

Naabot ko diri pero wa ko kahibaw kung unsay akong tuyo. Pero last night, nag damgo ko nga nag uban daw mi ni Mr. Calderon tapos suko daw kaayo sya sakoa.

Na confuse ko sa akong damgo. Kay nganong masuko man nako si Mr. Calderon nga wa man koy mahinumduman nga naka sala ko niya.

So I decided to meet him kay para malinawan na akong utok. Oh diba? Sanaol naay utok.

Back to reality. Naa nako karun sa iyang atubangan and he's looking at me with his serious face.

“Ahm” wa ko kahibaw sa akong isulti dzae.

“What is this important matter you're saying Miss Ringcon? Come on, tell me. Stop wasting my time” he said.

Luh? Atat na atat ka sis?

Nag tarung kog lingkod ug gi buka akong baba para mag sugod nag storya but no words tend to came out.

“Ahmm”

I closed my mouth again. Wa jud koy masulti kay wa ko kabalo nganong naa ko diri.

“You're wasting my time”

Mr. Calderon stood up and walk to the door way. Then he stopped while holding the door knob.

Gi abli niya ang pultahan, “You can leave now”

I cleared my throat ug nakig tutokay ra niya. I don't know if I should just leave or stay nalang sa.

Why would I leave though? Ug unsa man say reason kung mo stay ko?

Agh! Makabuang man ni. Tabang mga langit!

“Miss Ringcon”

Paspas kaayo kong naka tindog after hearing the door being locked.

Nisiga akong mata pagka kita nga iyaha jud diayng gi lock ang pultahan tapos naka ngisi na sya.

“I gave you the chance to leave my office but you didn't listen” buo kaayo iyang tingog nya bugnaw sad.

Hala unsa naman ni? Lordddd tabang!

Iyang gi occupy ang space namong duha, so naa na sya sa akong atubangan karun.

Holy Saints panabangi, basin mo sugot ko ani.

Char. Di ta marupok self, di sad ta pokpok.

“Did you know that I've waited 6 months and suffered because of you. Well, after you rejected my offer, my company almost got bankrupt. And not just my company..”

Nihunong syag storya kay gi ipit niya akong buhok sa likod sa akong dunggan.

“You even occupy my mind for the whole 6 months. No days or nights I can't think of you. You're always there” he pointed his head.

Nakatulala rako sa iyaha. Amaze of what I'm hearing.

Seriously? What is he trying to say?

He then pointed his heart, “Almost there.. lady. You're almost there”

He pointed his heart again and again.

Wa ko kahibaw sa itubag. Speechless to be exact.

We just stared at each other the minute after he stopped talking.

Then he blink, “I'm mad at you for leaving me.” hunghong niya.

Luh?

I blink too, “A-ahh..” niubo ko para mo gaan ang atmosphere, “I believe that is just line from a Kdrama right? Diba? Gi memorize ra na nimo diba? Issa prank right? HAHA nays wan”

Nikatawa pako para ipakita sa iyaha nga wala ko naapektuhan sa iyang gipang sulti. Bisan ang tinuod, kaihion na jud kos ka kulba.

Pero basin hopia rani, so I just laughed. Taking it as a joke.

“Seriously Mr. Calderon? You should be at showbiz. You're a good actor. hihi” I fake laugh.

He claim my lips.

Nisiga akong mata sa iyang gibuhat. His lips move, urging to open my mouth.

I wanted to stop him but P-pota! Tam-is kayg lips ang giatay! Huy panabangi!

He ended the kiss kay kabantay guro sya nga wa ko ni kiss back. Seriously? Why would I?

Nagpamaak nalang kos akong ngabil human niyag kiss sa akoa.

I saw him blush, “Sorry..”

“Why did you kiss me?” I directly asked.

Curious ko nganong gikissan ko niya. Napasmo guro.

“Your lips” he stare at my lips.

“What's with it?”

“It looks edible” he bite his lower lip. “I wanted to taste it more”

He lean to kiss me again. Wa ko ka sagang panuway!

“Huy simbakoka!” sulti nako kay murag nigara na syag kiss nako.

“What the hell are you doing Mr. Calderon? You're harassing me!” ingon nako kay karun rako kakitag chance nga mag reklamo.

Alangan na lumos kos ka tam-is sa iyang lips.

Ay char.

Gitalikdan ko ni Mr. Calderon.

“Leave.” sulti niya nga naka talikod sa akoa.

Luh? Adik man guro ning bataa ni. Human niyag pangawat sa akong first and second kiss, palayasun na dayn ko? Way batasan!

“Why are you facing your back at me?” I ask, confuse.

“I don't want to look at you. I might do more than a kiss. Just leave now”

Wa nako ni angal.

“Amhh... Okay” tubag nalang sad nako ug ni baktas padung sa pultahan.

Nagpamaak gihapon kos akong ngabil cause I can still feel his lips on mine.

Panuway!

“Anyway..” ni atubang kog balik sa iyaha kay naa koy na huna hunaan nga kabuang.

“What?” tubag niya pero naka talikod gihapon.

Adik jud!

“Ahm.. soft lips.” compliment pa nako tapos ni dagan na pagawas sa iyang office.

“I like it!” dungag nako ayha gi sirado ang pultahan.

Tapos ni gawas nakos building nga gapamaak gihapon sakong ngabil.

Luh?

Did he really kissed me? Naunsa namani?

Kirig akong atay.
