Wrong Number

15

I promise to myself to forget whatever my feelings towards Jack.
Masyado lang akong nadadala dahil siya yung laging kausap ko at kasama ko.

Maybe if i opened myself too to others i'll get over with her. If i entertain other guys it will help me to remove this shitty feelings.

That fucking beat of my heart whenever she's there and my giddiness towards her. Lahat yun, mawawala din!

That's Saturday. Ang daming tao sa office but thanks God. Wala naman atang nakarinig ng drama namin sa loob ng office ni Jack. Nang makalabas ako, lahat naman ay busy sa kani-kanilang trabaho.

In the afternoon, Athena came. Pumasok siya sa office ni Jack. Then few moments later lumabas sila.

Malamyos nyang hinahaplos ang pisngi ni Jack na sinampal ko.
Yeah. She can ease the pain that i infected to Jack. Masaya na ako dun.

Since that day, iniwasan ko siya and i think she did the same way. Nakakapanibago talaga kasi wala ng nagtetext sakin pero ganito naman ako dati bago siya pumasok sa buhay ko diba?

And Jonas is there. Hinahatid, sundo niya ako. He's really a nice guy kaso tamad siya magtext talaga. At okay lang sa akin yun. Hindi lang talaga sila magkatulad ni Jack.

Si Jonas kasi kapag nasa bahay nila ay naglalaro ng computer games o kung ano anong online games. Minsan basketball din o kaya hang-out kasama tropa niya. And i understand him. And i'm doing fine alone.

                                               

One morning, Jack set a meeting for the project we are handling. I came last. All seats are taken, except the chair beside her. I have no choice to sit there.

Pagka-upo ko pa lang ay amoy na amoy ko na siya. Fuck! I miss her smell.

"Sir. Pete. Palit tayo." she asked to one of the Engineer. Nakipag palit siya, obviously para hindi kami magkatabi.

I laugh sarcastically in my mind. Para naman akong may nakakahawang sakit. Mabaho ba ako? Hindi rin naman. She's too much or maybe i am just fucking hurt.

We start the meeting. She just remind us about the deadlines. Nakaka-proud lang kung paano niya i-present ang sarili niya samin. Siya pinaka bata sa amin pero ang galing galing niya. I hope, i can be like her. She is so great.

After she talked we heard a majesty like clap. Agad naming nilingon yun.

"I'm so proud of you Miss Cepedez!" she proudly said.

"Athena, ano ginagawa mo dito?" Jack all smile asked her.

Lumapit si Athena sa kanya at bumulong. Then they smiled sweetly with each other.

"Engineers, Meeting adjourned." agad na pahayag ni Jackie.

Nagkanya kanya na kaming alis na mga engineer. I'm about to go out but my eyes traitor me. Tumingin pa siya kay Jack at Athena.

And there, i saw Jack kissed Athena in her forehead.

Napakatraydor talaga ng mata ko! Bigla na lang umiiyak ng wala namang dahilan. Haha

But damn bullshit! She never kissed me that way. Isang beses nya lang akong hinalikan, sa leeg pa at lasing siya nun!

And I'm hating myself right now! Why am i comparing our past to them. Obviously, they shared a lot.
I'm nothing compared to Athena.

She's totally my opposite and better than me in all POSITIVE aspect.

I wiped my tears and went outside.
We really can't breathe the same air. It will just suffocate me.
