"Kuya Dan, makikisuyo na lang po. Salamat!" she chuffed as she made her way out.
As soon as she got out of the recording room, buzzing news from the people and the actuated television greeted her.
"...sobrang strong nila..."
"true! sila lang ata yung showbiz couple na nagtagal..."
"at ngayon magkakaroon na sila ng baby diba!!"
"second baby kamo, kung di lang nakunan noon si Celest"
That!...that caught her attention, She really won't mind but that statement caught her off guard, It was a knife stabbing her wounded heart even more.
The other employees seemed to notice her presence...
"Ay, goodafternoon po Miss Lara." Bowing their heads as they greeted me and I nod as a reponse.
"Is it your breaktime already?"
"Tapos na po maam—"
"Then please repeal from talking about unnecessary things. Tandaan niyo na gahol tayo sa oras at may hinahabol tayo na deadline." I knew I sounded bitter but I am just being professional here, given that I am handling this station—I mean all of this are new to me and I am doing my best to handle this correctly.
"Sorry Miss Lara"
"Sige na, balik na sa mga trabaho." I uttered calmer than earlier. And the rest went back to their respective cubicles.

"girl anyare sa mga tao sa labas?? mga parang pinagbagsakan ng langit at lupa?!" an overacting Max rushed inside my office.
"Wala ba kayong pinto sa bahay niyo at hindi ka man lang kumatok bago pumasok?" I am not really in the mood to joke around. The deadline that we needed to meet is occupying my whole being.
I did not even dare to look at Max, nakalabas na pala ulit siya and that made me sigh, an exhausted one. I am decided to go back on the papers on my table when someone knocked...
"Lara, can I come in?" It was Max peeking through the door.
"Hay nako Max." I said as I rolled my eyes on her and she barged inside.
"Dragonella ka nanaman pala kaya yung mga nasa labas hindi nanaman maipinta ang mga mukha!" She kept on blabbering words and I don't mind her being here as long as she won't pester me on what I am doing.
She's busy with her phone and me I am pinned forever with the piles of paperworks on my table.
but
Honestly, I am occupied because of the news I've heard earlier, Yes, I am still bothered when it comes to him.
FLASHBACK
"I'm sorry Lara, h-hindi ko sinasad—" He kept on reaching me kahit na pilit akong dumidistansiya sa kaniya. Kasi alam ko na pag nahawakan na naman niya ako, talo nanaman ako, makukuha nanaman ako sa mga paliwanag at panloloko niya.
"Hindi mo sinadya?! Dean putangina naman! Buntis na si Celest, limang buwan Dean, limang buwan!" Pinipilit ko na huwag umiyak at huwag maka agaw pansin ng ibang taong nandito.
"Lara please huwag dito, madaming tao."
"Wow, just wow!" I sarcastically uttered. He kept mum.
"Dean, mag-iisang taon na tayo. Sa loob ng mga buwan na magkasama tayo, kailan Dean? Kailan ka nagsimulang magloko?" I was calm when I asked him but still I got no answers from him.
