Naka-upo ako ngayon sa aking desk habang binabasa ang mga initial reports ng paparating na bagong product na aming i-launch next month habang dito sa loub ng office ko ay nandito si Nathan [ Hobi ] nagbabasa ng magazines

" Uy! Zuerin, kamusta pala yung outing niyo ni Charlotte kahapon?"

I look at him with my eyebrows up

" Okay naman.. I love Zéron, and I don't want him to know-- even Charlotte, that we don't belong... to each other"

With my cold tone as I turn my eyes back at the folder, he stood up and walk towards me

" So what now? Alam ba ni Clifford na si Blair ang Former Queen, at alam ba ni Blair na vampire si Clifford?"

I just roll my eyes and then at this time, I put down the folder and look at him seriously

" Bakit ba natin yan pag-usapan? Buhay na nila yun, wala na akong part doun"

He look at me in disbelief sabay pagtaas ng kaniyang kilay

" Ikaw nagsabi ha"

Bumalik nalang din siya sa kaniyang kina-uupuan at napatulala nalang ako dito sa aking sinabe

" Ganito kasi yun! Kahit bampira pa siya o hindi, mahal ko pa si Blair after all these years, tapos ngayon na nasa relasyon na pala siya, wala na ako'ng magagawa!"

" And-- I sacrificed everything for her freedom, memories, and all! Tapos ngayon, mahuhulog lang pala ang lahat sa kung ano noon, na-inlove lang din pala siya sa bampira"

Halos nag-monologue na ako dito kaya napatawa nalang yung isa dito habang ako ay mukhang magkaka-tantrum na

" So.. Tutol ka sa kanila?"

"Ewan! Ikaw ha kung magkaka-jowa ka, wag yung mortal, bampira lang-- wag mo'kong tularan"

" I'm sorry, but I still have no plans for mating"

I look at him in confusion as he just smile with a shook

" Why not?"

" I'll be so very busy with the lady I loved, I'll forgot to take good care of my brother.."

His quick answer made me smile that I can almost feel how warm that response is

" I planned to go to ' Red ', Kyle's [ Jimoon ] Casino at Saturday evening. Sumama kayo ha " I invited them habang panigurado ko siyang sinabihan

" Most of the time before, it's just us-- except Theo, who usually went there. What made you thought of that?"

" Yeah, I usually went to the Bar since then.."

" So, in between those years, sawi ka talaga sa pag-ibig?"

" Yeah! Parang ganun na nga"

He then patted my back at nagmukha na akming sawi dito sa pag-ibig

" Okay lang yan, Brad. Makaka-move-on ka'din "

* Knock *

Agad nalang kami sa pinto nang agad naman din naglakad si Nathan [ Hobi ] doun para buksan ang pinto

At first glance, yung mga mata namin ang unang nag-tagpo

I just turn my eyes away and then stood up from the table

" Goodmorning Mr. Zuerin, but I would like you to sign these papers in just a moment"

Tumango lang ako at hindi tumingin sa kaniya, kundi diritso lang sa folders na binigay niya sa'akin

I quickly sit back to my swivel chair and grab a pen, nang lumapit sa akin si Nathan [ Hobi ]

" Mission Moving On is Cancelled, please send reinforcements for back ups!" he whisper ang laugh silently and then patted my back

Napatawa nalang ako habang nasa kalagitnaan ako ng pagpirma so I just jokingly slap his arm slowly

" I have to go now, I have a Resort to run, bye and goodluck!"

I just smile and wave a little, nang ngumit nalang din siya kay Blair at umalis na

In a bit, sudden awkward silence filled the surface
