Kahati (GMA Magkaagaw Fanfic)

83 - Alexander or Nikolai?

All Diane could think about the whole weekend was of course.. Alexander. Paano na sila? Paano na lahat nang mga pinangako nila sa isa't isa? Asan na ang lahat nang matatamis na salita ni Sander sa kanya? Sa isang iglap lang, maglalaho rin pala ang lahat. Regina was right. Diane knew her cousin was right all along. Pero mas pinili lang talaga ni Diane na magpakatanga. She's not being herself lately. Anong nangyari sa dating Diane? She really needs to get back on track as soon as possible. And she promised to herself na talagang babalik na siya sa dati. She just needs a little more time to heal. Hindi niya inaasahang sa kabila nang lahat, masasaktan pa rin pala siya. She has a heart after all even if it's been stoned a long time ago.. but it's still there in her chest.

Another Monday comes and this time it is different. Nagbalik na sa trabaho si Diane. Handa na siyang harapin kahit ano. Wala na rin siyang paki-alam kung pag-uusapan sa buong building ang nangyaring gyera noong nakaraang linggo. She doesn't even care too even if the issue blows up in the media or to the whole world. She'll figure it out when that nightmare comes. Pagod na pagod na siya. Kaya ang tanging concern niya ngayon ay ang ayusin ang sarili niya at gampanan ang kanyang mga responsibilidad sa kompanya. The company has always been there to divert her attention when she has problems and issues outside of work. Also, Regina told her she looks like a zombie for crying and mourning too much last week. Of course, Diane doesn't like that. Sabi nila dragon siya diba? Kaya paninindigan niya yan. Mas gugustuhin pa niyang maging dragon kaysa sa magmukhang zombie.

"Looking extra good today, miss Diane!" Masiglang bati ni Jessica sa kanya nang nagkasalubong sila sa 7th floor.

She's putting that resting bitch face again. Pero ngininginitian naman niya bawat empleyadong bumabati sa kanya. Just as she enters her office, she didn't notice that Regina followed her on the way there.

"Welcome back miss CEO! Wow, pag na-broken hearted, iba ang comeback ha! So lit!" - Regina being overdramatic as always.

"Me ganon?" Diane asks nonchalantly. "Parang ngayon ka lang ata nakakita na nagbihis ako nang maayos. Bakit, nag-aayos naman ako lagi ah?"

"I know, OOTD ka lagi. Pero last week parang all saints day ka eh, ngayon parang new year. May pasabog!"

"Hm! Now, go back to your work, ang aga-aga pa para mag-chika." The boss commands.

"Are you sure, okay ka na?" Tanong pa ni Regina with a smirk.

"Don't copy my smirk. Sige na, dun ka na sa office mo bago pa magbago ang mood ko."

"Ookayyy."

Regina couldn't help but smile really wide. She's just so happy that her cousin is "back". Parang ang bilis kasi naka-recover. Remembering what happened last time at Diane's house.

Or..

Did she really already recovered?

Sander is scrolling through his phone and checks for unread messages. Ganon talaga pag walang trabaho, ang daming oras para mag-cellphone. One unread message from Gab. Reply pala yun ni Gab nung nagpasalamat siya sa pagpapa-stay niya dun sa apartment nito. Ilang beses niya itong napasalamatan sa personal pero tinext rin niya. Pagkatapos ay tinignan niya ang call logs at nakita niyang nangunguna ang "Miss D". Nakasaad sa log na tumawag si Diane two days ago at nakalagay pa nga dun na tumagal nang 4 minutes and 31 seconds ang call.
