WHEN WE MET HER

CHAPTER 4

"Hey! Ano na? Tangina natulala ka na diyan" malakas na sigaw ni Camille sa'kin

I just got home at kinukwento ko sa kanila yung mga nangyari kanina. Wala pala silang idea about sa nangyari sa face ni sir. Hindi nga raw nila alam na pumasok si sir ngayong araw. Siguro kasi iba talaga yung suot and aura niya kanina

"Sabi niya, may naghampas daw sa kaniya  sa pader ng bahay niya. And he needs me to help him investigate about it" I said back at them

"So? Ano naman? Nahingi lang ng tulong day! Pagbigyan mo, secretary ka diba?" Alex fired back at me

"I just didn't want myself to get involved with his life. You know, his job as a CEO of a big company isn't easy and some business mens will actually threatened him"

"Then, that wasn't your problem anymore if something bad happen to him. Choice niya maging CEO eh" iyon na 'ata ang pinaka-maayos na sinabi nilang dalawa this day

Kalimitan kasing nalabas sa mga bibig nila puro kabastusan kaya hindi ako nasanay na seryoso sila sa pinaguusapan namin ngayon. I was still clueless. Kailangan ko ba talaga siyang tulungan when it was so obvious na may mga tao naman na mas willing na tumulong sa kaniya

I wish I didn't go with this plan.

Days passed. Wala naman ng nangyari kay sir Jake. Parang bumalik lang ulit sa dati yung mga gawi sa office at parang wala man lang nangyari. I guess he was really not into it. Like baka galit lang siya kaya nasabi niyang magpapa-investigate siya about what happened

I attended many meetings with him. Weeks already passed. Sobrang hectic talaga ng schedule niya kapag weekends. Hindi naman siya driver para magkaroon ng maraming pasahero every weekends

Habang tumatagal na nandito ako, mas nagiging hindi madali ang lahat. Ako parin kasi ang namamahala sa mga interviews para sa ibang puwesto na kailangan ng palitan. Kapag may mga nasirang desk or anything na gamit ng workers ay ako ang naka-assign na palitan ang mga iyon

I was able to do all of that. I never thought ending up with this company when the truth is there's actually so many offers to me. I was the next employee sunod ni sir kaya naman ako palagi ang inaasahan ng ibang employee na hindi kayang magsabi kay sir Jake

Three months bago ako nakakuha ng break. Pupunta kasi sir sa Australia dahil sa isang business partner niya roon. One week daw siya dahil mageenjoy na rin siya since nandoon na rin naman diya, why not give myself a break?

Imbis ng paguwi at pagpapahinga, I still managed to drove all the way here to batangas. Almost all of my friends are there kaya need ko paring pumunta rito. This is where my safe place at

Almost 2 hours lang ang biyahe kapag sa kaybiang tunnel ka dadaan. But since I was using my car it just take me almost 1 hour. Sa bahay ni Kiara ako nagpunta, nakakatandang kaibigan namin. She's our mother

When I arrived at her house, she hugged me so tight. I almost died. Sobrang miss niya raw kasi ako dahil almost 6 months na akong hindi nakakapunta. Ano pa sila Camille na almost a year na? Baka magpatayan sila sa pagyayapos palang

"Bakit ka napauwi rito?" tanong ni Karia sa'kin

"It's not bawal right?" I asked back

"Oo nga, pero kasi may work ka"

"Of course I'm on my day off that's why I'm here"

She doesn't know how to cook so we just ordered something online. Ako na ang umorder since madami siyang ginagawa, she's still studying, first year na ata siya. Inaya ko rin si Seline at si Hasmin to come over so we can all get along
