When I went back to the office my table wasn't there anymore, it was now outside his office.
I sat quietly in my table, banging my head slightly in it. I heard someone chuckled.
"What are you doing Avi?" It was Nathan, he was laughing.
I stood up quickly, feeling embarrassed.
"Hi Sir Nathan.. Do you need anything po? " I asked.
"Oh, I just want to ask you.... Are you free tonight? Pupunta sana kami jan lang sa malapit na bar. Baka lang gusto mong sumama... " He offered slyly.
I hesistated. Hindi pa kasi ako nakakapasok sa ganoong lugar. Tsaka alam ko naman ang mga nandoon, mga lasing, mga gumagawa ng kababalaghan, maingay, I don't really like that kind of environment, but I didn't want to turn down Sir Nathan. He is so nice to me. If there is one thing about me that I hate a lot, its that I can't say NO to others.
"A-ah, I'll think about it po..." I answered back.
"Oh okay great! If sasama ka sabay na tayo ah!" He said excitedly.
I just smiled at him and he bid his goodbye. I sighed heavily. Nahihiya akong tanggihan siya lalo na siya lang ang masasabing kakilala ko dito.
Wala pa akong nakakausap na iba dito maliban sakanya, gusto ko rin naman magkaroon ng mga ibang kaibigan dito sana.
Wala naman sigurong masama kung sumama ako diba? Hindi naman ako iinom, makikipag kaibigan lang ako sa mga tao dito, para naman may kasabay na ako kapag kakain ako sa cafeteria at para may makausap na din ako maliban sa Boss ko at kay Sir Nathan.
I decided to go. I was now fixing my things, getting ready to go down when the door of his office opened.
He went outside, walking pass me. I bowed my head slightly. He just ignored me. Nakaramdam na naman ako ng kirot.
Siguro kaya din gusto kong sumama sakanila, hindi ko kasi alam paano siya haharapin sa bahay, ayoko din siyang makita at gusto kong magsaya naman kahit ngayon lang.
After a while, I now went down the HR department to find Nathan. I saw him at his cubicle. I approached him.
"Hi! Sasama sana ako Sir... Okay lang po ba? " I asked.
He quietly gasped. "Oh ikaw pala Avi. Sure, sabay na tayo. Nandoon na ang iba nating officemates, aayusin ko lang gamit ko saglit, is that okay? "He replied.
I nodded my head and steps back for him to fix his things. After a while he was now done and we are now heading out.
Hindi ko alam if sasabihin ko ba kay Sir Darius na malalate ako ng uwi or hindi, baka kasi wala siyang kainin, pero may left overs pa naman from last night sa ref, pwede niya naman siguro yun initin or magordee nalang sa labas.
We went into the parking lot, may sasakyan pala si Sir Nathan? It's a black Honda.
"Nice car Sir..." I commented.
He chuckled. "Ano ka ba Avi, you can stop calling me Sir pag wala na tayo sa office. We're friend right? " Nathan said.
I nodded.
We went inside his car and he now drove off. We were silent inside. Grabe din sila noh, Wednesday ngayon pero nakakaya nilang magparty kahit may pasok bukas!
Tama nga si Nathan. Malapit lang yung bar na tinutukoy niya. Almost 5 minutes lang kami bumyahe.
I went out of his car and scanned the place. Kitang kita ko yung iba't ibang ilaw na abot hanggang labas. Naririnig ko rin ang lakas ng tugtog galing labas.
