The Way I Remember Us.

Not as much as the truth be told.

At the Premio Magazine Department.
Liz arrived early as she could to be the first one who would see the issued magazine.

Like the supervisor said yesterday, he is the one who will deliver the magazine.
When Liz heard the trolley.
She rushed over on the doorway and saw that the supervisor is pushing the cart that made her thrilled in excitement.
"Good morning. Ang aga natin ah." The supervisor greeted Liz smilingly when he saw her waiting on the doorway.
"Magandang umaga po!" Liz greeted back and give him way to enter the trolley his pushing.

The supervisor placed it on the corner of the door and pushed it aside so that it won't be in the employees way when they arrive.
"Wooow.." Liz on his excitement and ripped one plastic cover and took one copy and raised it high.
The supervisor chuckled.
"Ang ganda.. hindi na ko makapaghintay! Mga readers! It's out!" Liz exclaimed knowing there's only the two of them.
"Oh siya, Miss Liz. Mauna na ko, at may mga trabaho pa sa baba." The supervisor said and then tapped on the magazine he delivered himself.
"Okay po. Salamat pong muli sa pagdala nito dito." Liz hugged the magazine like it is a teddy bear.
He waved bye and find Liz to be super happy.

Liz went to her desk and started flipping the page of her magazine copy.
She started checking on her colleagues article and read some notes on each that made her heart proud and amaze. "Ang galing talaga nilang lahat, nakakabilib! Malayo pa rin ang posisyon ko kumpara sa kanila." Then came her article that Francis was in it.

The day that they accidentally do that modeling job, appeared suddenly in her memory.
She remembered everything that happened with Francis and she smiled chuckingly when she recalled how happy he was that day.
Liz rubbed the image of Francis in the magazine and whispering. "Deputy, ito na yung last issue mo. Ang galing mo talaga sa totoo lang, hindi ako magsasawang hangaan ang mga gawa mo. (She sighed but smiling and bit her lip.) Gusto ko sanang sabihin sayo ng harapan to, gusto kong sabihin na salamat sa lahat ng mga naituro mo. Pangako, paghuhusayan ko pa para mahigitan ko pa ang expectations mo." She smiled again then closed the magazine.

Liz turned her eyes where the office is.
The lights are off and the door is closed.
She imagined seeing Francis inside walking around in excitement while holding the magazine's latest issue and congratulating everyone who gave their best to make it special.
But then she bit her lip again and took a deep breath.

Kael and Dianne came together and Kael yelled so loud that startled Liz saying. "Wahh! Nandito na!" He even pulled Dianne to make her see the magazines.
Dianne smiled while shaking her head.
She almost lost her balance.
"Good morning!" Liz said after she rose up from her chair.
"Good morning." The two responded back.
Dianne walked going to her table while saying. "Ang aga mo, (Liz nod gladly.) If I remember correctly, isa ka din sa maagang dumating last month nung releasing." Dianne placed her bag on the table and took out her phone and tablet out.
"Opo Miss. Dianne. Excited po kasi ako!"
Kael ran smoothly to Liz and placed his arm on Liz's shoulder. "Diba?! Ganyan din ako magpahanggang ngayon! Ang sarap niyang tignan lalo kapag binasa mo pa."
"Tama!" Liz said and they both laughed together.

Elaine arrived as well together with Julie and Borgy they happened to meet in the lift and arrived all together talking about the latest issue.
Everyone took their copy and bring it to their table.
One at a time the other employees arrived as well and Manny is the last one to arrived.
He was yawning and said when he took his copy and brought it with him on his table. "Nakakapuyat pala ang manood ng mga serye online! Yung sinasabi mong last episode na tapos matutulog ka na, pero naeexcite ka pa rin sa next episode! Kaya ayun.. puyat ako!"
Everybody laughed at Manny as he was sitting.
"Yan na nga ba sinasabi ko Manny eh.. kung hindi ka nagpapakalasing, nagpapakababad ka naman diyan sa mga drama na yan online. (Dianne glaring at Manny like she wanted to pin him.) Eh kung sinususpinde kaya kita."
Manny rose up a sudden to his chair and said teasingly. "Edi más mabababad ako niyan sa alak or sa drama online."
"Ah.. at talagang namimilosopo ka pa." Dianne said smirking.
Everyone laughed hard again and then came in Lorraine their editor in chief.
