Greis and Rum (COMPLETED)

26- Problems

I called his secretary to check on him and know how he's currently coping with the problem. Wala naman so far problema ang company nila and his personal life either, it's something a little far from both but very close to his heart.

"Ma'am, yung meeting po natin in an hour. We have to leave."

Since I don't have the other car back yet, ginamit ko yung recent na binili ko na hindi pa masyadong naeexpose sa daan. I also figured out that I needed my driver back but he's doing so well as the company driver so may nag-try out as a one for me. He was recommended to me by Sheen. I also am not in the right mind to drive for myself because of my worry. It's just lurking in my mind, the thoughts of him being perturbed by the mess and he couldn't tell me retains and refuses to leave my head. I have to ask him, I have to know but I still have this meeting to get through with the PICE board members.

"Agad-agad?!" Sheen exclaimed as he was driving me to Rum's office. Malelate ako sa flight ko if I waste the moments that I have, biglaan kasi ni hindi ako handa. The reason why he had to pick me up was because napadaan din siya sa doon sa PICE so I sent my driver home. My secretary was seated at the back, talking to the person responsible for the accommodations. I pulled sun visor which revealed the vanity mirror, "Last meeting inannounce yung date ng convention pero wala namang sinabing ako ang speaker representative. Tapos ngayon urgent meeting tapos flight na agad in 2 hours, kakastress!"

I'm still fixing my lipstick kahit alam kong sisirain lang din naman ni Rumzuell. Sa gigil nung isang yon, hindi malabong ikulong niya ako sa opisina at pagurin sa halikan. Oo, halikan lang muna tsaka na ang iba.

"Alam ba ni Captain?" He asked.

"Yun nga ang sasadyain ko sa building nila."

"Hindi ko masyadong nakikita ang likuran mo sa IGS niya ah. Away?" natatawang sabi niya. How rude! I know he's currently single and has no one to flex him but he's too rude to pity on right now. My eyebrows met at what he said and he laughed, stealing a glance to see how I reacted to the stimuli. Nang-aasar na naman eh! Nakakainis eh. I was really annoyed when he asked me "What?" Gago anong what? Whatashiwa? Whatermelon? Napakawalang kwenta ng mga tinatanong eh nakita na ngang naasar na ko.

I fought his laughter with a counter, "Kailangan bang ilagay niya ako araw-araw sa IGS niya? Besides hindi nga kami madalas magkita ngayon tapos magcecellphone pa kami at di magpansinan?"

"Oh speaking of hindi na madalas magkita, gaano ka katagal don?"

"A week and a day, maybe."

"Hanep, tagal ah! Kaya mo yun?"

"Kakayanin. Nakakatawa nga na matagal ko na tong ginagawa pero nasusurprise parin ako at ngayon lang ako nagworry. Rumzuell is a game changer." Pailing-iling na sabi ko "You did your report?" He asked.

I nodded "It's always ready and updated. Don't worry about it."

Natawa siya ulit "Kaya pala hiningi yung research and report paper mo last month kasi you were chosen already. That's a commitment to your profession, wag ka na talaga masurprise."

I have to be able to make it through the assembly. It's also such an honor to be one of the representatives—it always will. When we pulled over, nagpaalam na ako at sinabing mauna lang siya at maglulunch na lang rin kami ni Rum diretso even though I'm not that hungry. I went all the way up to see an empty office at doon ko pa naabutan ang secretary niya who told me why it was empty.

"Ma'am, nagtungo po sila ng Subic port po. Mamaya pa po ang balik ni Sir."

Mamaya pa ba? Mamaya na rin ang flight ko. Pwede naman sigurong puntahan ko, kaya naman siguro ng dalawang oras na natitira. I took my phone out and saw his text message 4 hours ago.
