-"Suzana!!"
"Yes, Ms. Achilleo?" She jumped and hurriedly responded.
I suddenly felt sorry, "I'm sorry. I just wanted to ask about the foundation week this semester."
She sighed in relief, running through her tab, "I've already contacted our guest for the evening ball, and Salvatore, the boyband group, agreed to the proposal of a concert performance. And btw, Maam, it was recommended by your friend Ms. Race Arques."
That Arques. I grabbed my phone and dialed her number, but she was out of reach. Feeling artista talaga 'to.
"How about the clubs? How many proposed booths have already passed?"
She scrolled down her tab, "So far may anim na, Ms. President."
"Suzana, Dane, Louise o Dacini nalang." Sabi ko pagkababa ng folder na hawak.
She hesitantly nodded then gather her things, "I'm going to get the approval of our guest, Dacini."
I smiled and nodded, "Who's the guy?"
She avoided my eyes, "I can't drop the name, Dacini. Your uncle told me to keep it from anyone."
"Kahit sa Presidente na si ako?" Gulat kong tanong.
She nodded shyly, "I'm sorry, Ms. Pre—"
I interrupt her, "No, it's fine, I understand. You should get going now, and don't bother to come back here afterward. You can go straight home."
She let a sweet smile, "Thank you, Dacini."
Twelve years later, I'm done with the last batch of my papers. Being president is no joke. I can't find leisure time to hang out with my friends after our short vacation in Palawan. They've been firing my phone with numerous invitations to Hera, food trips, and galas, but I couldn't give it to them. I can't even hold my phone for 10 long minutes unless it's work-related.
Now I understand the hardships of my ancestors and parents sama narin ang dalawa kong itlog na kapatid.
I was about to get eaten by the dark when the door promptly slammed open, causing a stentorian sound. I shut opened my eyes just to make myself want to close them again after seeing the three idiots marching inwardly while holding a bottle of Alfonso light in the air.
"Woah, Presidenteng presidente ang datingan natin dito, Dane ahh." Manghang bulalas ni Tara.
"Isang ikot naman sa the voice chair mo." Segunda ni Amara.
"Baka may golden buzzer din 'yan ah." Syempre hindi kumpleto kung hindi sasali si Cyon.
I heaved a sigh, welcoming them with unpleasant attitude, "Anong ginagawa niyo dito?"
"Parang ayaw mo pa ata kaming makita ha." Tampo ni Cyon.
Masama ang tingin ko sa tatlong boteng hawak nila na sabay na nilapag sa center table ko sa receiving area. Alam niyo yung tingin palang para na akong nahihilo.
Hinayaan ko silang mag-ikot sa loob ng office habang inaayos ko ang nakakalat na papeles. It took them 30 minutes to rummaged through my office and even my private cr.
"Hoy, Perez! Bakit may condom dito?" My eyes widened and abruptly run towards the comfort room.
I flickered my eyes when I saw her holding a pack of cigarettes. That's why she assumed it, "Idiot, that's not a condom. Parang may paggagamitan naman ako kung sakali."
She giggled as she opened the box, "Yosi? Nagyoyosi ka parin?"
I shook my head, "Not in a long year. Naitambak nalang jan gusto mo iyo nalang."
