CHAPTER 18

Maya woke up with a smile. It’s a brand new day! She got up quickly to get ready for work. Of all the things she need to put on her face, she finally put on her smile that has been missing for months. It’s time to be back, Maya!

Before leaving, she went back inside her room and went in front of her bed side table. There rests Richard’s necklace, still glowing with the morning sunlight. “Good morning Richard!” she greeted to that necklace, then she grabbed it and placed it inside her bag.

Everyone in the office seemed to be surprised by Maya’s optimistic mood when she came to work. Her officemates would always stop to look at her twice whenever she greeted them. When Richard left, Maya would usually go straight to her office, never greeting anybody and would lock herself up until it’s time for her to leave. Now, she went back to the same Maya her officemates first met. The same enthusiastic, annoying and jolly Maya dela Rosa.

“Girl, ano bang nangyari sa’yo? Nilalagnat ka ba?” Liza asked her. They are currently inside her office. Liza followed her when she came to work. “Feeling ko bipolar ka na eh.”

Maya chuckled. “Ano ka ba, Liza? Normal lang naman ako ah!”

“Normal ka dyan. Ikaw kaya tong halos tatlong buwan na ang lungkot lagi ng mukha. Para kang pinagsaraduhan ng langit at lupa. Promise , Maya. Kung nakita mo lang yung sarili mo, palagay ko, pati sina Leonardo da Vinci, mahihirapan ipinta yung mukha mo.”

Maya winced. “Ganun ba talaga ako?”

“Oo kaya!” Liza replied as she nodded her head. “Ano bang nangyari? Feeling ko it has something to do with your Richard.” She continued to tease, emphasizing the word ‘your’.

“Liza! Ano ka ba!” Maya replied, but could not help her cheeks to go red.

“See? Nagba-blush ka oh! C’mon, Maya. Spill!!”

“Wala naman dapat i-spill eh!”

“Meron ‘yan!”

Maya sighed. “Fine. Umalis na si Richard.” Well, yes, he left, not exactly left, but yes, he left. She was waiting for Liza’s reaction but became disappointed when Liza just continued with her straight face. “O? Asan na yung reaction mo?”

“Maya, your story is not yet finished. That’s the reason why you were sober. Eh nasan na yung part na dahilan kung bakit masaya ka?”

“Well, he .. he came back.”

“O, ayun naman pala eh! Eh ano bang nangyari? Nag-break ba kayo? May iba ka na ba?”

Maya gulped. Ang hirap pala nito. “Eh .. ano.” She sighed. “Basta umalis siya tapos bumalik na ulit ngayon. Wala naman siyang ibang babae, tapos wala pa rin akong iba, pero .. basta bumalik.” Pahamak naman ‘tong si Liza. Hindi ko naman pwedeng sabihin na anghel siya, tapos nawala, tapos bumalik na ulit bilang tao.

“Okay.” Liza said, as if trying to convince herself that it is the reason why. “Pero sabi mo, wala pang ibang babae, so may chance pa diba?”

Maya smiled. “Oo, Liza. Meron pa.”

“Are you planning to win him back?”

“Well, not exactly. Ayoko namang magmukhang desperado, diba? I just want things to go back to normal. Yung wala akong grudges, wala akong galit. I’ll start from there, bahala na kung paano umaksyon ang future.”
