Claiming The Charmer

.

Biting my lips in nervousness, I decided to work. I still need a job after all; to feed and buy things for my self.

No one can but me.

But him hiring me as a freaking Administrative Assistant? I couldn't believe it. It was obvious that I am not good at job kaya nga Hindi ako umaahon kasi Tamad talaga ako.

Masipag akong mag interview pero iyong araw araw na pag tatrabaho? Literal na gusto ko ng sumuko.

Siguro iyong nababagay na trabaho saakin ay maging C E O. Pero syempre Malabo iyon, pero libre lang mangarap ano!.

I feel a bit guilty anyway. He thought so wrongly. I couldn't even explain my self earlier to him. Losing my own words, I couldn't find it.

Now here I am introducing myself to his secretary that I am the new Administrative Assistant, It was so unbelievable. Feeling ko nga ay Hindi ako bagay doon.

You can see and tell it was just a easy job but for me a first timer? Hindi, sobrang hirap saakin pero aarte paba ako? Kailangan ko ng trabaho.

His secretary let me seat and wait for the CEO himself. Can he just call his boss and tell it to Philip that fuvking Nanaiah is here and waiting for him?.

But of course, I couldn't say it. Who am I anyway?.

"You're here." He said welcoming me his tired voice.

"Why are you here?." He asked again not minding his words earlier.

"Sending my resume?." Naka ngiwi Kong sabi.

"You should've send it to the company mail or leave it to my secretary. You don't have to be here." He said making my heart ache in pain. I shouldn't feel this way.

He ended our relationship earlier o kung meron nga ba talagang relasyon na nagana?. It was fake relationship but I can't help but to expect something in return.

I expect him to love me the same love he showered me 11 years ago. He change. He change a lot. I don't even know him, because of me.

Because of me he is ruined, he is wreck.

I don't even know where to start my words because I couldn't find it. My brain couldn't process a word a whole sentence to describe what I am feeling right now.

"Just give it to my secretary and you can work tomorrow Morning. I can't talk to you right now I have lots of meeting to attend and I am not sorry for keep you waiting, Ms. Andrade." He said leaving me behind can't even sink his words my head.

I was about to follow him but his secretary stopped me.

"I am sorry, Ma'am but let us give Mr. Gutierrez privacy for the company's sake." She said almost begging - No she's begging.

I putted my resume on her desk and go out. I can't let my day feeling like this.

"Tita Naya!." Maxxie said pouting his lips.

"Can we eat, jollibee?." He asked raising his cute little head.

Tumango ako sa kaniya ng nakangiti at saka ginulo ang kanyang buhok.

Mabuti nga at wala si Maggie at Xinion doon tanging Nanny lang ang kasama ni Maxxie kaya kinuha ko na lang.

Ang totoo ay hindi ko ipinaalam Kay Maggie na daaanan ko si Maxxie biglaan din kasi.

"Okay, what do you want to eat?." I asked pinching his chubby healthy cheeks. Parang mas tumaba pa nga siya kaya noong 4 years old palang siya.

"Chickenn" malamg Maxxie Ano pa bang popular menu ng jollibee? Kinurot ko na lang ang pisngi niya na ikinangiwi niya.

"Mommy said I shouldn't let anyone pinch my cheeks, it would looked so fluffy and ugly.  You're exempted today Tita Naya, because you're going to buy me lot of jollibee food, Right?." He said pouting showing his red lips. I chuckled and stopped myself from pinching his cheeks again.

"Saka na kita bilhan ng madaming jollibee kapag yumaman na ako." Naka ngisi Kong sabi sa bata.

"Okay." He said smiling widely showing his missing tooth.

"Nanaiah." Said by the familiar voice.

We were about to walk and go to the jollibee but a familiar voice stopped me so. I can't help but to feel my heart beat shaking and beating loudly.

I can't even have back my normal breath.

"Is he your child?." He asked looking at Maxxie who is looking at me confuse.

I couldn't utter a words when he is here in front of me. Why can't I cannot find my own voice when he is in front of me?.

Really, Nanaiah?.

"Congrats." He said now leaving me his hand inside his pocket while walking out. He is wearing shades and facemask but I discovered him. I know him.

"Who is he Tita Naya?." Maxxie asked holding my hand and  looking up at me.

"J-Just a random friend." I said smiling - naka ngiwi.

He nodded his little cute head and didn't asked anymore question. Thankfully Maxxie is understandable. He knows when to talk and when to not.

"Hindi mo man lang pinaalam anak ko." Naka ngusong sabi ni Maggie soot parin ang uniorme habang naka pamewang.

Rolling my eyes at her I chuckled.

"Di na kailangan." Sabi ko tuluyang pumasok sa loob ng kusina.

"Gago. Ay sorry, Maxxie can you to Yaya  Mars?." She said calmly. Maxxie understably nod his head and proceed walking to his yaya place.

"Gago Neto. Alangan kunin mo kahit kailan mo gusto?." Aniya kunot ang noo habang umiinom ng buko juice.

"Hindi naman." Sabi ko kumuha rin ng buko juice at saka ininom.

"Talagang Hindi, kahit pag kasama mo iyong dalawa ay sila ang nag papa alam at Hindi ikaw." Aniya naka pamewang parin. Napa kamot ako sa sariling ulo at ngumiwi.

"Basta alam mo na pag nawala anak mo ako kumuha." Sabi ko naka ngisi.

"Gago ka talaga. Ano may trabaho ka na?" Aniya naging seryoso. Tumango at ng may mapagtanto ay nanlaki ang kaniya ng mata at ngumisi ng malawak.

"Shot na ba?." Ang lakas mag ata ng babaeng ito Hindi naman malakas ang alcohol tolerance. Napa iling ako.

"Wala ako pera eh kayo na lang mag libre?." Tanong ko naka ngisi. Sus, barya na lang sa kanila iyon. Sila pa?.

"Cge call ko si Diego. Tanginang lalaking iyon, Hindi nanaman mahagilap." Aniya. Its true kahit ipahanap pa ata iyong Diego na iyon ay ang galing mag tago. Yung privacy number niya na ibinigay niya sa amin ay wala ring namang epekto kasi parang out of line.

May itinatago talaga ang lalaking iyon and he better tell it, if he's ready to open up.

H'wag naman sana siyang maging Richard Cory. Boring na nga ng buhay niya mag papa dead pa siya?.
