Nagising si Fina at nagulat dahil nakapangalumbaba si Ezra sa tabihan nya. "Good morning sunshine!" Bait ni Ezra tsaka hinalikan ang dalaga.

"Did you even sleep?" Tanong ni Fina at yumakap pa sa binata. "Ang aga mo naman nagising." Inaantok pa rin si Fina at gusto nya lang matulog.

"It's 8:10 in the morning." Sagot ni Ezra at napabalikwas naman si Fina at mabilis kinuha ang cellphone. "What's wrong?"

"I am late!! I got to get to work! Crap!! Crap!! My boss is going to kill me!!!!" Mabilis syang tumayo but Ezra pulled her back to bed.

"Just skip work today and stay here with me." Paglalambing ni Ezra habang mahigpit na yakap yakap ang dating nobya.

"I can't! I'm not like you!!!! I have to go to work!!! You can stay here all day if you want and I will try to leave work early. Okay?" Ezra let go of Fina at mabilis naman naligo ang dalaga. "You can order food or heat up the ones in the fridge. Feel at home. Let me know if you need anything." Bilin nito habang mabilis na nagbibihis.

"Have fun at work!!" Hindi naman bumangon si Ezra mula sa pagkakahiga at muling nakatulog bago pa man umalis si Fina.

Late na sya sa trabaho at sobra na syang kinakabahan dahil hindi na sya nakabalik kahapon pagkagaling sa WVO. Pagdating nya sa opisina ay nakatingin sa kanya ang kanyang mga staffs at nagbubulungan. Dumiretso naman sya sa office nya nang makita ang tambak na trabaho na naghihintay sa kanya.

"Wow, Josefina! Bilib din ako sa'yo. You show whenever you want to! You did not attend the meeting yesterday. Where were you? You just disappeared without any notice." Sigaw ng boss ni Fina at hindi naman nya alam ang gagawin. "So hindi ka man lang magdadahilan?" Fina shook her head. "Sabagay, wala naman akong paniniwalaan sa mga sasabihin mo. Anyway, these are all the inventory list for this month. I want you to find a replacement for our discontinued items. Compare the specifications and make a powerpoint presentation about our cost and the dealer's cost. I want this on my desk first thing tomorrow - or else you'll be fired!!" Pananakot nya.

Tiningnan ni Fina isa isa ang mga papel at alam nyang kulang ang isang araw para matapos ang pinapagawa ng kanyang boss. "I would be needing the sales for this month as well. I don't think matatapos ko 'to." Nakita nya ang papers na inihanda nya para sa meeting with the CEO.

"I don't care what you think! Gusto ng CEO ng results right away!!!! We're going to have another meeting next day in case you decide to not show up again." Galit na sabi ng boss nya while checking her IG.

"The CEO was there?" Gulat na tanong ni Fina but her voice just rolled her eyes and walked out of her office. "Ugh!!! Bakit kung kailan wala ako tsaka nandun yung CEO. Hindi ko tuloy napresent 'tong papers ko. Di bale, gagalingan ko na lang dito para maimpress ang CEO. Ayokong matanggal sa trabaho. Kaya mo yan Fina!!!!" Sabi nya sa sarili tsaka nagsimula sa kanyang trabaho.

Hindi na rin sya nakakain dahil sa tambak na papel sa kanyang desk. Puro kape na lang sya ng kape at halos wala ding natulong sa kanya na magtawag ng mga companies to find a replacement for their units. Kahit ang business developer ay wala ding cooperation. Hindi naman nya ito inintindi dahil sa dami ng ginagawa. Halos lahat ay sabay sabay naglunch pero wala man lang nagyaya sa kanya. Nakalimutan na rin nya na nasa bahay nya pala si Ezra. Naalala nya lang ito nang magring ang cellphone nya.

"Hi, how's work?" Magandang bati ni Ezra.

Suot ni Fina ang kanyang airpods habang kausap si Ezra because she has her hands full, literally. "It's too busy. I don't think I'd survive today."

"Do you want me to make dinner?"

"No, no uhm I don't know what time I'm going to leave. Yung boss ko kasi sabi nya matatanggal ako sa trabaho kapag hindi ko tinapos 'to. Sorry, but I'll make it up to you. You can stay another night." She offered at hindi agad sumagot si Ezra. "Do you need to go someplace else?" Pag-aalala nitong tanong.
