Fortunate Mistake

CHAPTER TWELVE

I groan and lean back on my chair, I'm not feeling well since this morning my headache feels like hell, I keep on sneezing and coughing, mabigat ang katawan ko at gusto ko na lang sana umuwi para makapag pahinga pero may emergency meeting kami dahil may problema sa isang event.

"Sir are you okay?"

She looks at me all concerned, I nod and sit properly.

"Yes I'm fine nakuha mo na ba ang pinapakuha kong report sa 'yo?"

She stares at me for a second before she hands me the report.

"Thank you"

Hindi ko na siya tiningnan, narinig ko na lang siyang lumabas ng office. I'm reading the report my secretary handed me when my phone suddenly rings when I look at it I froze while reading her name on the caller I.D.

*Yzabelle calling....*

I look at my phone for a second before I immediately grab it and press the answer button before it drops. I cough multiple times while frowning because I can't hear anything from her line aside from vehicle noises.

*Phone conversation*

"Where are you?"

[May sakit ka?]

"You didn't answer me"

[Malapit ako sa office niyo, may sakit ka nga?]

"What? Why?"

[Nag submit ako ng resume para sa OJT]

"I told you that you can do your OJT here"

[Ayaw ko nga]

"Tch! Don't worry you won't be assigned to my department"

[Kulit mo, ayaw ko nga d 'yan sa company niyo]

"Why?"

[Kasi ayaw kitang makita araw-araw]

"What?"

[So may sakit ka nga?]

"Maybe"

[Anong maybe? hindi mo alam kung may sakit ka? Ano ba naman iyan sa tanda mong iyan hindi mo pa alam kung anong tawag sa nararamdaman mo.]

"I just don't know."

[Ano ba iyan, tch! Sabihin mo na lang kung anong nararamdaman mo]

"My head hurts like it's going to split into two."

[Ang over naman ng explanation mo, ano ang nararamdaman mo?]

"I had dry cough"

[Obviously, ano pa?]

"I had runny nose."

[Flu iyan napaka working hard mo naman kasi may pasok ka na sa school may pasok ka pa sa office.]

"I need to work."

[Yeah, Yeah I know pero Kumain ka na ba?]

"Not yet"

[Sabagay hindi ka naman susunduin ng kapatid mo.]

"What?"

[Gwapo ka nga bingi ka naman]

"I hear that"

[E, 'di good it means nakakarinig ka pa.]

Before I can say one more thing she immediately hangs up the line. I look at my phone blankly as I keep on repeating to my head what she said earlier.

"Crazy woman." I whisper to myself. "So you're admitting that I'm handsome huh" I smile and lean back again to my chair.

I rested my head while smiling, I feel much better now. Good thing she called. I haven't heard from her or saw her for a week now.
