II: Deja Vu

**************************

Psyche Valentine Collins

This isn't a dream or a random deja vu, nandito talaga ako sa opisina ng lalaking mahal ko but I don't think he still have any feelings left for me. Two years may be a short period of time but a lot can happen and I wasn't wrong because he managed to find someone else while here I am.

A girl who's still stuck in the past. I'm a person who's afraid to let myself be happy, why? Because I know that it never last.

I never hated to admit the fact that I'm still madly in love with Eros after all these years, nothing changed when it comes to how I feel about this asshole. I already saw him with someone else during the twin's birthday party but it didn't make me love him less nor hate him more, I have no idea why. My feelings for Eros always remained unchanged.

Meeting him in this state is making me feel like running away because of embarrassment, I honestly wanted to run away and hide myself from him but in the end? I couldn't do it. Why? My dream just came true. I always wanted to be near him at all times, I don't wanna go anywhere but his side.

His body structure had changed, his voice did a little bit but his eyes, nose, and the way he moved around never changed at all.

I still remember when I used to watched him while he was busy working, I was always trying to get his attention. I'm like a clingy cat but a rare one and I don't smell like garbage because I often take a nice warm bath unlike a real cat who hates getting soaked on the bathtub, I could never forget the days when I used to be by his side at all times. I could see him whenever I want to.

All I have to do was utter his name, I could do it in a nice way or another way but either of those choices? He would still come.

I badly missed those days...

"Ms. Psyche? Are you listening to me?". He asked.

I slightly nodded then I tried to faced his direction, damn it!! Bakit ba ang hirap niyang harapin?!

Bakit ba ang hirap niyang kalimutan?

Bakit ba siya pa rin ang mahal ko?

"Okay, then. Make sure to remember that I hate repeating myself twice and I don't like stupid questions either but like what I said earlier, this is your schedule but what's inside these folders are the tasks that you have to do".

Ipinakita niya sa'kin ang schedule ko, maayos na ito kaya wala na akong problema. But at the same time, itinuro niya rin kung nasaan at kung alin ang mga dapat kong tapusin na trabaho. Binilang ko ang mga folder gamit ang mga mata ko, nasa twelve ang nakikita ko ngayon at mukhang may kasunod pa ata ito.

"I have to finish every single thing? All at once?".

He shook his head. "No, but if you can then that's better".

"Where's my desk?".

"Over there, and don't worry because my other Secretary had moved some of her things before she left for Maternity Leave so you can use that desk comfortably while she's not around".
