ARCHERR LINDEN ARIOLA MACKENZIE

"Archerr!"

"Yes, hello kuya?" Pagsagot ko ng tawag sa telepono.

"Uhm.." I creased my forehead when he deeply sighed. "I know na nasabi ko na naman sayo tong possibility na toh. It's now confirmed na hindi ako ang maghahandle ng favor mo. I'm really sorry.."

I was taken a back for a while, still shocked and not knowing how to react. Nang makabawi sa pagkabigla ay napabuntong hininga nalang din ako.

"But kuya.. company niyo pa rin naman ang maghahandle, right?.." I asked full of hope.

"Of course! We're still taking it. Sadyang hindi lang ako personally ang maghahandle." I sighed in relief when I heard those.

Its been.. almost two months nang maging engaged kami ni Sia. Its actually because of business, that's why everything's being rush. Its an arrange marriage. Na mismong kami ay nabigla sa desisyon ng sarili naming mga ama. They want our hospitals to be joint, para gawing mas matibay at mapalawak pa ang sakop namin. But anyway.. I can't do anything about it. And it's fine dahil alam kong doon din naman ang hantong ng dalawang taong relasyon namin.

Everything's almost set, alam na namin ang mga ipapagawa namin at maayos na ang pagpaplano. We just really need an event management company. At syempre ang unang pumasok sa isip namin ay ang MurGo Inc. I'm glad na marami na rin silang branches dito sa Pilipinas kaya't hindi kami mahihirapan. And I really asked kuya Aiden personally, to handle my wedding. But I guess.. hindi nga talaga niya matutugunan iyon. After all he's being big now. CEO of the company, so he's really busy. But anyway I still trust them. They have a lot of good professionals, so I think nothing's gonna go bad.

"Well, that's fine kuya! As long as company niyo ang mag aayos.. I know it'll be great." I answered and I heard his giggle.

"I see.. we got your full trust, huh?" He mocked and I just chuckled since its true. "And actually.. we've already talked about this earlier with the board. We already decided who will handle your special event."

I sat properly when I felt nervous about his serious tone. I don't know I just felt weird suddenly. "S-so it's set? Then sino ang magaling na napili niyo kuya? I hope ay kavibes namin.." I laughed which eventually faded when I heard him breathe deeply.

"Well.. kavibes na kavibes niyo talaga hahaha.." Mas kinutuban ako nang marinig ang nerbyos sa tono niya. I think I know who will handle it. And I think its time for us to cross our paths again. I think its her?

"W-what's the name?" I asked in my low voice. A part of me is hoping that I'm right, but at the same time.. also a part of me is wishing that I'm wrong. I don't freaking know!

"Its.. its Calie." Walang pag aalinlangan na sagot niya na kahit inaasahan ko na ay natuptop padin ang bibig ko. "I assigned it as her first project Archerr. And I also thought na siya ang pinaka sakto rito since it's also your personal request..."

"D-did she.. did she agreed?" I gulped repeatedly as I wait for his reply.

"Yup! She did. I already talked to her about it.. and she actually agreed easily. So I guess you don't need to worry about it, I know she got your full trust, she'll make her best out of it." I bit my lower lip when he explained with assurance.

The call already ended pero nandito pa rin ako sa pwesto ko at pilit pinoproseso ang lahat. She agreed.. she accepted it.. freak! I don't know, but I'm just really happy. Its also her first project.. It means its gonna be really special for her. And since she accepted it.. does it mean she's ready to see me again?
