FILIP RIEL EIAN
I am on my way to my office at medyo malayo palang ay tanaw ko na si Psyche na nasa desk nito
Nang makita niya ako ay agad itong tumayo.
"Good morning Sir Fire!" She casually greeted me. I don't know but everytime she calls me Sir Fire I remember Ryke.
FLASHBACK
"What should we call each other?" She suddenly asked me. This is the day that Ryke and I are officially together. I've been pursuing her for almost a year and ngayong araw niya ako sinagot.
Nasa gilid kami ng dagat, nakaupo sa buhangin habang nakasandal siya sa akin.
Napaisip ako sa tanong niya. There's so many endearment to choose from.
"Hmm how about love?" I asked.
"Love?" She asked back habang nag-iisip.
"Because I love you." Banat ko naman. Whenever I am with Ryke I feel like I'm getting cheesier.
Sabi nila ganun talaga pag nagmamahal magiging corny at cheesy ka para sa minamahal mo mapatawa mo lang siya.
She laughed.
"Ang common naman. Hmmmm" sabi niya sabay isip ulit. Nakalagay pa ang kamay sa pisngi habang umaaktong nag-iisip.
"How about I call you Fire? No one's calling you Fire so I assume ako lang yung tatawag sayo nun. It's unique and cute." Naeexcite niyang sabi habang bahagya akong niyuyogyog.
"Fire?" Naguguluhan kong tanong. Ano ako apoy? Natatawa ako sa naisip ko.
"Yes Fire short for Filip Riel Eian" she excitedly exclaimed habang proud na proud sa naisip niyang pangalan.
"Hmm okay, but what about me what should I call you?" Sang-ayon ko naman sabay tanong sa kanya ng pangalan na gusto niyang itawag ko sa kanya.
"Just call me Ryke. My name is already unique and I don't want some cheesy endearment na kaparehas sa iba. " She said while pouting.
My heart is beating so fast because she's so cute. I like this woman very much---no I love her. I love Ryke.
"Sir Fire?" Nabalik ako sa kasalukuyan ng naramdaman ko ang bahagyang pagyugyog sa akin ni Psyche.
"You have a meeting with Mr and Mrs Lopez in 10 minutes, Sir. Their secretary confirm that they are on their way here." She said habang mataman akong tinitigan na parang nagtatanong kung okay lang ako.
What bothers me is what Psyche said. Mr. And Mrs Lopez? Is it Tita Rain and Tito Ram? Why did they set an appointment if they can directly call me to meet them?
I suddenly dont know what to do. Agad akong nagpanicked dahil hindi ko pa naisip ang sasabihin ko kina tita at tito about Psyche.
My phone suddenly ring. Nakita ko sa caller id si Xy.
"Hello!" Diretsa kong sagot
"Hello buddy, Alam mo ba Tita Rain asked me if nandiyan ba ako sa company building mo because they want to meet me habang bibisita sila sa'yo." Xy said.
"I just found out that Tita Rain and Tito Ram set an appointment to meet me. I'm confused because they can just call me to meet them." I said at sinenyasan si Psyche na lumabas na muna kasi kausap ko si Xy.
"So, what will you do?" He asked me what will I do about Psyche.
"Hmm, will you come here?" I asked back instead of answering his question.
" Yes, I think you need my help on explaining it to them." He sincerely said. What I appreciate about Xy is he knew when I need him the most.
"I also think it's time for them to meet Psyche." It's been almost a week simula noong nalaman namin ang katotohanan tungkol sa pagkatao ni Psyche and I think it would be unfair for both Tita Rain and Tito Ram also to Psyche if they won't know the truth.
MINUTES had passed and mas lalo akong kinakabahan knowing Tita Rain and Tito Ram will be here any minute.
PSYCHE YELA
I was about to greet the guest nang nauna itong nagsalita.
"Ryke!" Bakas sa mukha nina Mr. And Mrs. Lopez ang gulat. Hindi ko alam pero agad akong nakaramdam ng kaba at emosyon na di ko mapangalanan.
"P-po?" Ang tanging lumabas sa bibig ko.
Hindi pa din kumikibo sina Mr. and Mrs. Lopez kaya I lead them to Sir Fire's office.
"Ma'am, Sir this way po." Magalang kong sabi habang sinenyasan sila patungo sa office ni Sir Fire. Sumunod naman silang dalawa.
Pagbukas ko ng pinto ay bumungad ang di mapakaling si Sir Fire. There's a hint of worry in his face. Tumingin siya sakin pagkatapos sa dalawang bisita na nasa tabi ko.
"T-tita, T-tito"
FILIP RIEL EIAN
"T-tita , T-tito" nauutal kong sambit nang makitang magkatabi sina Psyche at Tita Rain kasama si Tito Ram sa bukana ng opisina ko.
Bakas sa mukha ni Tita Rain ang pagkabigla at pagkalito.
"What's the meaning of this, hijo?" Mahinahong saad ni Tito Ram nang makaalis na si Psyche.
Tita Rain walked towards the sofa at agad naupo. She looked so shocked of what she saw. I understand tita, that's how I felt when I saw her that day.
"Tita, tito magpapaliwanag po ako." I said and pleas them to hear me out.
I told them everything. From the time Psyche applied here in the company as a secretary and our plan to have a DNA test without them knowing.
Just when I finished explaining to them what happened, Xy arrived.
"Tito, T-tita!" Bungad niya. Agad siyang naupo sa tabi ko habang nagtatanong ang mukha kung nasabi ko na ba ang totoo. I just nodded gently to let him now that I told them everything.
"So,does Psyche know about this?" Tita asked , still processing everything she found out this day.
"I told her already Tita but she's also still shocked and cannot believe everything I told her." I said honestly.
I'm still giving Psyche time to process everything that's why I didn't mention it again after that day.
"So what now?" Minsan ko lang makita si Tita Rain na ganito ka seryoso. She is usually bright and lively.
"Please give me atleast one week, Tita. I'll bring her to you when she's ready." I pleaded.
