CHAPTER 37
Conform.
We've done our lunch at some restaurant near in our building. 'Yun nga lang I was so embarrassed because I've seen some of employees here. Guess what? I felt like they were having chismis behind me. Of course I don't know their names, but I know their faces.
"What's your plan on weekend?" Jai asked, tapos na siyang kumain, habang ako nginunguya pa ang steak.
"I am busy." I said directly.
"Okay, then I'll have you a special leave." He said with finality.
"What?!" Kinabahan naman ako sa sinabi niya. Tangina. Special leave? Talagang nagbago na nga ang ikot ng mundo.
"I can't have you on weekend, so let's have date on weekdays." Taas baba pa ang kanyang kilay. Umirap lang ako at tinutok sa kanya ang tinidor na hawak ko.
"Subukan mo, at nang mawalan ka ng empleyado." Banta ko.
Tumawa naman si Jai, "Joke lang. Di ka mabiro, Engineer." He said, parang natauhan sa aking sinabi. Aba, sinong matinong lalaki ang mag papa special leave para lang sa date? Okay ka lang, Jai?
"Do you want some steak? It looks like you want more." He said, at tinaas na ang kanyang kamay para sana mag order pa. Kaya pinigilan ko na.
"No, okay na. Thank you." I smiled to him.
"You sure?"
Tumango lang ako.
"Oo nga." Tumayo na ako at inayos ang aking nagusot na skirt. "Tara na, pinag titinginan tayo." Bulong ko sabay hila kay Jai.
Jai glances around the restaurant, "Do you know them?"
Umiling lang ako, "Hindi. Baka kasi anong isipin nila. They will think that I have some special treatment from you."
Nang makalabas na kami sa restaurant ay agad na kaming dumiretso sa kanyang sasakyan. Pagdating namin sa lobby I noticed that everyone is busy. Lumapit naman bigla ang natarantang secretary ni Jai.
"Sir, nandito po Si Ma'am Veronica."
My heart went to blast. Pangalan pa lang na nabanggit alam ko sa sarili ko na I need to keep my distance. Abot tahip ang aking kaba. The last time I saw her is in the party, she's throwing a shit to me. Now, I don't want to experience again that kind of embarrassment. Should I consider it being normal? Normalizing the fact that Tita Veronica is always throwing a shit to me.
Nabigla ako dahil hinawakan ni Jai ang aking kamay. I looked at him,
"Don't walk away." He said. Seryoso ang kanyang mga mata. But I could feel his assurance that everything will be okay.
