Chapter 18 : Unusual actions

I was sweating hard as I gasped for some air. I let out a deep sigh. Tired. Ito ang pangalawang araw ko sa trabaho. I didn't know that working can be this tiring. Ilang ulit na'kong pabalik-balik sa ibaba.

May elevator naman ang building na'to but kailangan mo pang pumila and I don't have time for that. Huminto muna ako saglit para habulin ang hininga ko.

I am supposed to be resting now dahil break time ko na but here I am giving my might to go up stairs to deliver them the coffee that I bought for them - actually they commanded me to buy some. I remained silent and did what they had told me.

I let out a heavy sigh and shook my head. Kailangan kong masanay. Nang makarating ako sa palapag kung saan ako naka-assign ay agad kong pinuntahan ang aking mga katrabaho.

"Ang tagal mo naman ata, Celine?" nahihiyang ngumiti ako kay Jenna, one of my workmate.

"Hindi kasi ako nag-elevator." she rolled her eyes on me and look at me from head to toe. It's making me uncomfortable. What is she doing?

She faked coughed, I immediately handed her the coffee. I was just standing behind her. Her forehead creased as she raised her brow looking at me like I disgusted her.

Napansin ko lang, simula nung unang araw ko dito ay ganito na ang turing nila sa'kin. Do they really treat new employees like this? Napaka bulok naman pala ng ugali ng mga 'to. I shook my head - what am I thinking?

"Ano pang ginagawa mo dito? Umalis ka na. Nakaka-irita 'yang pagmumukha mo." she scoffed.

I didn't receive any thank you from her and yet here she is offending me like I am not her workmate. Sasagot na sana ako nang biglang kumalampag ang mesa ni Jenna. I was stunned for a moment.

I looked up and was horrified when I saw Thunder's blazing eyes. I took out my handkerchief and silently wipe off the sweat on my face. Did he saw us? This is bad.

"S-sir!" halos sabay naming sigaw. Napa-atras ako nang lumingon siya sa direksyon ko. Kinalampag niya ulit ang mesa na siyang dahil nang pagtayo ni Jenna. She's trembling.

"B-bakit po kayo naparito?" tanong ni Jenna. She's sweating hard. Natapon pa ang kape na siyang dinala ko kanina para sa kaniya. Nakita ko ang tingin ni Thunder roon, pabalik sa'kin - sa kamay ko na bitbit pa ang tatlong kape para sa ibang kasamahan namin.

"Am I supposed not to be here?" his voice sent shivers to my spine - ang lamig ng boses niya.

"Pa-pasensya na po!" yumuko pa si Jenna. Nakita ko ang simpleng panginginig ng mga kamay niya. Natatakot rin siya.

"Amora." napalingon ako kay Thunder nang tawagin niya 'ko.

"S-sir?" I gulped hard as I looked at him. "Are they treating you badly? And why are you holding three cups of coffee?" agad akong umiling sa naging tanong niya. "No!" nakagat ko ang aking pang-ibabang labi dahil napasigaw ako, agad akong yumuko ng kaunti bago bumaling ulit sa kaniya.

"I mean no, sir. They're treating me good here. This is my thank you food for them since they are really friendly." I smiled at him sweetly.

Agad na kumalma ang mga alon na nasa noo niya. Good thing. Napalingon ako kay Jenna, siya naman ang nakakunot ang noo ngayon. What's her problem this time? She looks like she's going to kill me anytime and anywhere today.

Nang lumingon si Thunder sa kaniyang direksyon ay agad itong ngumiti nang malawak sa lalaki. She's off. She faked coughed and about to talk to Thunder but the young man walked out the place before she had the chance.
