longing. (an embodiment of physical touch)

𝑨 𝑳𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝑫𝒊𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕

Nagmamadali na akong pumunta sa meeting place namin in front of McDonald's. Before that pala, I woke up this morning feeling, jeez. Kasi itong si Hunter, parang tanga. Oo ngayon 'yung meeting namin, kaso he could've told me CALMLY to not forget this date. Hindi 'yung . . .

*flashback*

What time is it already? Am I late for the meeting? What is happening ba, why my phone is still ringing?

I thought of that as I'm still on my bed, eyes shut. I don't wanna go up yet kasi feeling ko there's something wrong that's gonna happen later at the meeting. Alam niyo 'yun, parang may kakaibang mangyayari or what. Uh, whatever.

*phone rings*

Ayayay, sino ba ito? Napakaingay sa umaga!

"Hello? Sino po sila?"

[ANONG SINO SILA? ANONG ORAS NA MISS SECRETARY?! IT'S ALREADY 9:30 AM AND YET YOU'RE STILL AWAY FROM KEYBOARD? I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU'LL WAKE UP LATE ON OUR MEETING!]

"Hala Hunts! Ikaw pala ito, I'm sorry I thought I was just receiving mail notifs kaya iniignore ko 'yung phone ko."

[Alam mo ba na yung reply mo na lang ang inaantay ko? Oh my lord from the heavens above Sydein! Bilisan mo na diyan at paparating na 'yung ibang officers.]

"Oo na! Jusko ka Hunts, you could've just said it calmly. Hindi 'yung nagiging  paranoid ka. I'm just gonna do a quick bath at diyan na ako kakain."

After his parent-like voice, I jumped off the bed and get clothes to wear. Kumuha na lang ako ng long sleeves na green na medyo off-shoulder. Then, I picked a black square pants and white closed shoes. Oh diba, meeting lang pero para akong pupuntang party.

As I'm taking a quick bath, I was having shower thoughts like 'Why do people need to have a significant other?' I know I'm aware na kailangan ng kasangga sa buhay to have your family or your own kids. Iba kasi siya sa feeling kapag you are being supported by your significant other. Pero, minsan you just only need your family and friends to be constantly motivated.

AY GAGO! Napahaba ata shower thoughts ko ano? Naku, anong oras na ba? "Uh, hey Google! What time is it?"

"It's 9:55 AM."

Oh sige Dein, bagalan mo pa pagkilos.

I quickly went out of the bathroom, syempre tuyong tuyo na except for the hair. Then picked up the clothes I was about to wear, grabbed my purse and
I rushed down the stairs leaving Sai-Sai confused.

"Ate, ba't ka nagmamadali?" She said as she was having her kinda late breakfast.

"Basta! Please 'wag ka na magtanong may importanteng meeting ako."

Without looking back at bunso, I immediately left the house and ran through the streets.

*end of flashback*

"So, bakit ngayon ka lang."

Sydein, kalmahan mo hininga mo. Halatang pressured ka girl, grabe ang pangit.

"Miss secretary bakit ngayon ka LANG?" Hunter sit back and drank water to ease the stress.

"I'm really sorry, Hunts. I slept early naman yesternight yet still I woke for like 30 minutes before the expected time of meeting." All of them were lkke evaluating my excuse as if hindi totoo.

Parang mas napressure pa akong mag officer ngayon ha. Mga itsura nito! I thought, while sitting beside Ayonah, the class PRO.

Currently, we're listing down the names of our block and Ayonah suggested that it should be arranged by the least-likely to be friends. I don't know but, I kinda agreed with her as it is a great oppprtunity para sa mga hindi masyadong ma-talk sa amin ay mahawahan ng kadaldalan and positive vibes ng kanilang magiging seatmate. With that, magdedecide pa kami kung by-row or 2x3 ampeg.
