DARK SIDE

FLASHBACK 3

"miss pasensiya na pero hindi ka na pwedeng pumasok dito" hinarang naman ako ng guard.

"kua ano ba, mag a-apply lang naman ako eh" i said then about to enter again when he grab me.

"miss kung magiging makulit ka pa, parehas tayong mapapahamak" he shout while the other staff are staring at me. naramdaman ko naman na pahigpit ng pahigpit ang hawak ni kua guard sa mga braso ko.

"please kua" i said and trying to push him.

"ano pong problema dito" a familiar voice spoke beside us. we immediately look at that. then i saw rio standing with a black blazer and a shiny shoes.

"rio" gulat na tumungin naman ako sakanya

"yes imee ako nga" he said.

"let her go" he said then this guard immediately unclasped his hand on my arm.

"are you okay?" he added while checking my arm.

"yeah" i emitted.

"ano nga palang ginagawa mo dito?" tanong niya naman.

"remember kailangan ko ng trabaho? tsaka obvious ba na mag a-apply ako dito? tignan mo naman ang suot ko o" i said while i distance myself para maipakita sakanya ang outfit ko.

a stripe polo with a black skirt and a high heels.

"well you look so god. kung ako lang ang boss dito tatanggapin kita" he stop and look at me in my head to toe.

"sa buhay ko" he said. i slap his arm.

"sira, anyway how about you? what are you doing here?" i asked.

"just like what you doing"  he said.

"himala" i said while laughing.

"anyway good luck ha?" i added and once again i make bump with him. he just smile.

"sigurado ako magugustuhan ka ng boss sa ganda mo ba namang iyan" he said, i slap his arm. but i smile.

"syempre naman sa ganda ko ba namang ito" i said then i giggle.

"good luck din" he said and tap my shoulder before ako pumasok.

tumingin naman ulit ako sakanya bago ako pumasok. then i see his smile i just make a thumbs up.

"excuse me mag a-apply sana ako bilang secretary is there office for appliers? like me." i asked to the girl, one of the staff also. i'm here in 2nd floor.

"ah sorry maam i really need to settle this first i think pumunta ka nalang po sa office ni sir" she said that get me shooked. what?

"are you serious?" i asked, she nood.

this is the first time i encounter this kind of treatment. aba kung sa tutuusin bawal to eh. kailangan diretso agad sa office ng boss? taray

pagkapunta ko naman sa office ng boss nila, umupo agad ako. at himala walang pumigil saakin na kahit sino.

"hi maam do you need any coffee? juice? milk? what maam?" a blonde girl asked me. i weirdly look at him.

"uhmp. no thanks. anyway can i ask?" she stare at me.

"are you fooling me?! hoy rio hindi purkit nakipag usap ako sayo about my problems. dapat mo na akong lokohin ah." i shout then i stood up

"kung wala kang magawa sa buhay mo wag mo kong idamay because me? i need to work hard for my family" i shout then about to left out when he ran infront of me that make me stop.

i look at him. he's smile.

"that's why i'm here. i want to help you" he said then once again he teasingly smile at me.

"help what? by fooling me?" i asked

"you need a job right? so i want you to give a position in my company" he said then hold my hand. aba.

"magsisimula na ba ako ngayon? because i'm ready?" i asked. he nood.

"okay sir. i just need to get your schedule in the head office." i said then about to left again when he hold my hand that make me turn back.

"your work for today is to be with me, let's go to imeelaya?" he asked.

IMEELAYA?

"imeelaya?" i asked while there's no idea coming inside on my mind.

"in sta. rosa street, our favourite place. did you not remember?" he asked while arranging his blazer.

"ah yes but why imeelaya? well the name of that place was supposedly kapayapaan. why my name? i mean that's sounds familiar in my name?" i asked out of the sudden habang lumalakad naman kami and i sipping the mocha that he gave to me earlier.

he stop walking and stare at me before he wipe the bubbles in my lips.

"because your my kapayapaan" he whispered that get my cheeks turn into a red one. i feel like there's blood running through my cheeks. shocks.
