LYR POV
After we saw Josh nag pasya na kami na umuwi, since malapit lang ang condo dun ay nilakad na lang naming pabalik.
"Can I ask something? Napa lingon ako nang mag salita si Yong. Tango lang ang sinagot ko dito.
"It's about his... Wika nito na sinadyang hindi sinabi ang huling salita tumingin lang ito kay Josh. " If you don't mind.
I look at him, after what happened di ko maipaliwanag pero parang Nawala ang inis ko dito, kanina habang karga karga nya ang anak ko, I feel something strange. Hindin ko maintindihan but they look good together,I even picture out him as Josh father, They look like each other, napailing ako.taking out that thoughts out in my mind. Im just being delusional kaya kung anu anu na ang nakikita ko.
"Hey, are you okay? Tanung nito, na nag pabalik sa akin sa kasalukuyan. Tinaguan ko ito.
"Im sorry,just ask me bout anything but not about that. Seryoso kong wika dito.
"Its okay, Wika naman nito, pasalamat na lang ako at hindi na ito Ng tanung pa.
Nang nasa lift na kami I press our floor number. I saw him looking on it at bahagya itong naka ngiti, In normal cicumtances baka na tarayan ko na ito, Pero ngayun, I feel tired, Parang wala akong gana na makipag sagutan dito. And when the lift stop on our floor akma din sana itong lalabas but I stop him. " Thank you sa pag tulong kanina. Wika ko dito then tinalikuran ko na ito.
Monday come again, pag dating ko ng office I found a basket of flower in my table, Ewan ko ba di ko man aminin but deep in my heart am thinking and assuming that its from him. Dali dali ko itong kinuha inamoy ko pa. "Roses is my favorate. Hindi ko maipagkakaila namasaya ako. The smile didn't leave my lips. Since I don't have a big vase in the office I just put it beside me after I spingkle some water on the petals then I fucos on my work.
At walang pang ilang minuto I feel like someone standing in front of my desk and when I look up nasira agad and araw ko.
" Yong's here? Tanung nito habang ang mga mata ay nasa bulaklak na nasa mesa ko.
"No yet, He come around nine. What's bring you here too early in the morning? Tanung ko dito.
Nakita ko na tumaas ang kilay nya. "Why do I need a reason para pumunta sa office ng future husband ko? Do I need to ask an appointment to his secretary? Parang nang aasar pa na wika nito.
Napahinga ako ng malalim, I don't want to ruin my day dahil lang sa babaing to. I look at her. "you can wait for him inside Miss Cassy. Mahinahong wika ko dito at ang sarap sipain ng put** habang ngiting tagumpay itong pumasok sa opisina ni Yong. I take a few deep breath to control my self and go back to the things im doing nang biglang.
"Roses? From who? Nagulat pa ako when Yong speak at my back.His mouth is just a few inces away from ears that I can feel his breath. Napataas ang kilay ko. Is he playing something. Or these flower is not really come from him. I give him a side way look. Kunwari I don't give a big deal over the flower. "I don't know,I didn't look at the card. Wika ko. "Go inside your office ill bring your coffee. Wika ko pa habang tumayo ako. But he didn't move his eyes still looking at the flower on my disk.
" Do you mind? Wika nito sabay kuha ng bouquet at sinipat ito.
"What do you think your doing? Parang inis ko pa na tanung dito.
Nakita ko itong nag butong hininga. "Taec!
I heard him his face expression change, parang nag tiim baga ito, but why? Is he jealous? Pa bagsak pa nito inilapag ang mga bulaklak sa desk ko.
"Hey! Be careful! Inis ko na wika dito." Someone is waiting for you inside.Wika ko pa dito.Bumalik na naman ang inis na naramdaman ko kanina . "Your gilrfrind is waiting for you.
"Who? Takang tanung naman nito.
Hinarap ko ito at tinaasann ng kilay." Marami ka sigurong girlfriend aat hindi alam kung sino. Inis na wika ko dito, "Mga panira talaga! Wika ko pa sabay inayos ang bulaklak, Yes I was disappointed that the flower is from someone else but still the bouquet is so beautiful. He didn't say anything he just give me an annoying look bago pumasok sa opisina nito.
"Bring my coffee in three mins. Wika nito bago pa bagsak isinara ang pinto.
"The hell? Ako dapat ang maiinis sya tong nakialam sa gamit ko. Inis na wika ko before I go and make him coffee. And I smile form in my lips. I didn't use the coffee maker,instead I get the coffee bottle in one of the cabinet and put two full spoon and put half of hot water.
"Let's make your day more darker Yong Hwa Jung!Wika ko sabay lakad papasok sa opisina nya.
Napasimangot si Lyr ng mapasukan na parang ahas na nakapulupot kay Yong si Cassy, pero agad naman nyang inayos ang expression nya habang papalapit sa mga ito.
"Anu ba? Narinig nyang wika ni Yong habang pilit binabaklas ang mga braso ng babae sa katawan nito.
MEdyo pabagsak kong nilapag ang kape ni Yong sa table nito at mabilis na kinuha ang air freshener sa ilalim ng coffee table at walang pakundangan na inis spray ko ito malapit sa dalawang anaconda na mag kapulupot.
"Bakit kaya amoy kagubatan na tong office mo sir Yong? Wika ko pa habang di tinitigil ang pag spray. At halos bumunghati ako ng tawa when I saw that snake coughing so hard. Bago ako umalis inamoy ko pa ang paligid sabay tingin ng nakakaluko kay Yong. " Parang mas maganda ata kung baygon spray ang ginamit ko. Anu sa palagay mo SIR? Madiin kong tanung dito ng makita kong lalo pang nag susumiksik ang babaing yun sa tabi ni Yong.
Napaubo naman si Yong, I saw amusement in his eyes. Tuwang tuwa pa ata ang loko.
"That's enough na Lyr, wika nito. "you can go now, masyado nang nalinis ang hangin dito.
" Okay sir,I think I need fresh air too. Ill be out for my early lunch. Di ko na hinintay ang sagot nito at lumabas na ako.
