Chapter 3: Lie Detector

Nyx's POV

"Are you hurt?" he asked, I shake my head. "Ako na po, sir" saad ko at akmang kukunin na yung mop pero agad niya itong iniwas

"Go to my office" malamig na tugon niya na agad ko namang sinunod kahit labag sa loob ko. Ayokong magisip ng kung ano ano yung mga kasama namin dito

Agad ako bumuntong hininga pagpasok ko sa office niya. I tried composing myself, sobrang lutang ko lately. Simula nung nakausap ko si lola madalas akong wala sa sarili

"Let me see your feet" he said, hindi ako gumalaw at nanatiling nakayuko, "Are you deaf? Take your shoes off" I was about to do it but he already take it off

"Tumama yung timba sa paa mo kanina" talaga? hindi ko naramdaman sa sobrang pre-occupied ng utak ko

"What were you thinking?" I didn't answered, "Sorry" maluha luhang saad ko

I still don't know how my lola is right now, I don't even know if what she said was all true. He suddenly handed me a handkerchief

He sat beside me, "I don't know how to make you feel light but everything is going to be okay right? You need to take a break" he said

"T-thank you" I almost whispered, nakakahiya umiyak pa ko sa harap niya. Agad akong napatingin sa pintuan nang may biglang pumasok, it's Seirra

"What are you doing here?" she immediately asked, "Her feet hurt" maikling sagot ni sir Drake, "So? Pauwiin mo na siya. She doesn't have to stay here in your office" sir Drake suddenly stood up

"What's wrong with you Seirra? Can't you see? She's injured because of cleaning this restaurant" agad akong tumayo at yumuko

"Tatapusin ko na po yung trabaho ko para makauwi na po ako" saad ko at akmang aalis na pero biglang may humawak sa braso ko

"You're not going anywhere" he coldly said while looking directly in my eyes, why is he like that?

"You know, I like you Seirra but because of what you've shown today. I regret liking you" my eyes widened, I know Seirra is more shocked than I am

"D-drake--" he immediately cut Seirra's words, "I don't want to see your face again" he said and suddenly left while still holding my arm

"All of you, go home" maawtoridad na saad niya at binuksan ang pintuan ng kotse niya. "Get in" utos niya, nakakatakot ang aura niya ngayon parang kayang kaya niya pumatay

Bakit kaya ganito nalang ang galit niya kay Seirra? May ginawa kayang masama si Seirra sa kaniya?

Agad niya pinaandar ang kotse niya, matulin ang pagpapatakbo niya na ikinabigat ng pakiramdam ko. Sa 'kin ata may galit, gusto na ata ako mamatay

Huminto kami sa isang coffee shop, "Stay here" saad niya at pumasok sa loob. Umupo ako sa upuan sa labas ng coffee shop

Ang sarap dito, ang peaceful ng paligid. Malamig yung hangin, ilang minuto lang nakabalik na agad siya at inilapag sa mesa ang dalawang kape

Inilapit niya yung isang kape sa 'kin kaya napaturo ako sa sarili ko. Tumango naman siya kaya ininom ko na yung kape

"You can tell me what happened" I looked at him, malayo ang tingin niya. "Hindi ka naman magiging okay kung hindi mo ilalabas diba?" maybe he's right pero bakit sakaniya?

"If you don't want too, there will be a celebration tomorrow. You have to attend" he said, "Baka hindi po ako makapasok bukas--" he cut my words

"After that, you can have a day off" hindi makapaniwalang tumingin ako sakaniya. "Yes, you heard it right" he said, I smiled
