Moonlight in the Summer's Rain

Prologue

"Shit! Basang-basa na ako," I whispered to myself as I clean damp my handkerchief to my wet blouse. I was on my way to Ford's company to apply myself a job—which is the position as a secretary to no other than the boss—itself. I actually don't know who the boss is but I was very eager to find myself a job when my best-friend told that the company was looking for secretary.

Habang nagpupunas gamit ang aking panyo sa ilalim ng isang waiting shed at naghihintay na tumila ang ulan, biglang nag-ring ang aking telepono at lumabas ang caller ID at nakita ko'ng si mama kaya agad ko itong sinagot.

"Hello?," I answered the call while putting my handkerchief inside my sling bag.

"Ano, 'nak, kumusta ang paghahanap ng trabaho?" tanong niya.

"Hindi pa po ako nakakarating sa kompanya, ma. Bigla po kasing umulan kaya naabutan ako, eh wala pa naman po akong dalang payong. Buti nalang nakasilong ako dahil may waiting shed," I told her while pouting as if she can see me.

"Ah, eh ganoon ba? Buti at may nasilungan ka, nabasa ka ba ng ulan? Baka magkasakit ka niyan," tuloy-tuloy na sabi niya.

"Hindi naman po ganoon kabasa, medyo lang po. Pero ayos lang po ako, siguro nama'y titila rin itong ulan mayamaya," I told her.

"Oh siya, sige na at tumawag lang ako dahil buong akala ko'y nakarating ka na sa iyong pupuntahan. Sige na, 'nak, i-text mo nalang ako kapag maayos ka na. I love you," she said that made me smile.

"Opo, ma. Love you din po," I answered and the call ended.

Hindi nagtagal ay tumila rin naman ang ulan kaya nakarating na agad ako sa aking pupuntahan. Buti na nga lang at maaga akong gumayak dahil kung hindi ay baka nahuli na ako ngayon.

Tanaw ang malaki at mataas na building, napahawak ako sa aking dibdib at biglang nakaramdam ng kaba.

"Kaya ko 'to," I encouraged myself as I head inside the building. The inside was very cold because due to aircon and added to the fact that I was wet because of the rain awhile ago. I was kind of shaking but then I managed myself to be composed as I walk towards the front desk.
"This way, ma'am," the lady assisted me on the way to the room where I would apply.

"Thank you," I smiled at her. I, then went to the hallway where the queue of applicants, I guess would take place. I let a blow shrug off my nervousness.

Medyo marami rin ang nag a-apply kaya mahaba rin ang pila ng mga aplikante sa labas ng isang pinto. Hindi katagalan ay tinawag na rin ako kaya pumasok na ako sa loob. I confidently went inside like I'm not feeling any nervous at the moment.

Sa harap ko ay may office table at upuan kagaya ng normal na mga eksena kapag may nag a-apply. Hindi muna ako naupo hanggang hindi sumenyas ang babae na sa tingin ko ay HR at naatasan na mag interview ng mga aplikante.

The interview went fast and flawless because of how we both are clear with our intentions. Lumabas na rin ako nang matapos ako.

"Sir, the interview for your secretary was already done. According to Ms. Elias, there were only 1 that fits your standards," I heard a man talk behind me when I was in my way out. Napasilip tuloy ako dahil sa aking kyuryosidad. I, then saw a man—well, he was hot I would say. Probably six feet and three inches height, his skin is moreno, his eyes were kind of chinito-looking, very hot body. And when I say hot, I really mean it. His body is verry buff, I can almost compare him to Johnny Bravo. Behind him is a man, aswell, probably his secretary whom I think the one I heard.

"Excuse me, miss," The man spoke to me, his voice is very manly. That's when I realized that I was blocking his way. I immediately stepped out of his way and met his eyes.
