One Cold Night
04: If you say so
Vera Alette's POV
"Oh, morning!" Lisa greeted, and she was showing her usual cheerful smile again. She wrapped her arm around mine and yanked me towards my seat.
Parang iniwan ako ng kaluluwa ko sa lakas ng pagkakahila niya sa akin.
I sat before my table and fixed my things. Andie popped up in front of me. May hawak na folder, mukhang file ng bagong project niya.
"Good morning," Bati rin niya.
"Good morning din," I greeted back. She smiled and sat on her seat. Lisa was just sitting beside me, bakante kasi ang table na katabi ko, wala sigurong pagkakaabalahan ang isang 'to kaya nagagawa niyang tumambay dito.
"Wala ka bang trabaho babaita?" Andie asked Lisa. She shook her head. Si Andie naman ay nag-hahanda ng gamit.
"Meron."
"Eh bakit ka pa pala nandito? Go to your work table dear," I said, eyes wide open and slightly pushing her away. She chortled and stood up. I clicked my tongue and shook my head. Nakita ko pang lumingon siya kaya ikinaway ko ang kamay ko para paalisin siya.
"Inspection?" Tanong ko kay Andie nang mapabaling ako sakanya. She was putting her folders inside her bag.
"Oo, balik ako mamayang lunch! Bibili nalang ako ng ulam sa labas!" She said before running out from the office.
"T-take care!" I tried to lower my voice. I wasn't sure if she heard what I said because she was already outside. I sighed and faced my computer.
Another day with this damn computer. Wala pa naman akong inspection today, kaya ang kaharap ko nanaman. Computer. Kaunti na nga lang, makakatuluyan ko na ang screen na 'to eh.
I want to go somewhere else! Mag-inspection o kaya naman ibang gawain! I've been revising the design for a week now! But what can I do? I love revising too... But I am certain that my eyes will hurt again.
Bago pa ang lahat, isinuot ko na ang anti-radiation na glasses ko at nagsimulang magtipa sa keyboard at pumindot sa mouse.
I massaged and stretched my neck when it felt stiff, medyo nangangalay na rin. I stretched my shoulders upward and took a deep breath, I was about to resume what I was doing earlier when someone called me.
"Hanap ka ni Ms. Flores."
"Okay, thanks..." I said and stood up, our department head called me.
I walked up to her office and knocked, when she told me to come in, I immediately greeted her good morning and she did the same.
"Ms. Manzan, this will be the second time that you will handle a project without a team, you will be designing a house and she's the son of a close friend of mine," she sweetly said, she always talks like this, hindi siya istrikto pero hindi rin ganoon kaluwag. Yung tipong kalmado ang boses pero hayok magalit.
