"Hahaha gosh Czarina will you please stand straight? Ang bigat mo kaya!"
Nagising na lang akong nakapulupot ang mga braso sa balikat ni miss Charlie.
"W-Where are we?" tanong ko
"High rise tower, Kate's in the parking lot with Iris"
"What?"
Naguguluhan ako. What the hell happened?
"You passed out, kaya ako na naghatid sayo. Pang two seater lang kasi yung car ni Iris" paliwanag niya
I tried to get off miss Charlie pero halos manlambot ang mga tuhod ko. She quickly pulled me by my waist and patted my back.
"Hey don't move around, gusto mong mafall? Di kita masasalo, bawal" she said
The door opened. My eyes widened seeing Irene standing in front of us. I was about to get away from miss Charlie but she just held me tightly.
"Oh, hello miss Louise. What are you doing there?" tanong niya
"Get off Czarina" malamig na sabi ni Irene
Napalunok ako at lalabas na sana pero hinila ako pabalik ni miss Charlie sa loob.
Halos mawalan ako ng balanse. Pakiramdam ko kasi umiikot na naman ako.
"Czarina and I will talk about something in her unit right? Don't worry miss Louise I will take care of your dear assistant" pang-aasar niya
Hindi sumagot si Irene. Siya na mismo ang pumasok sa loob ng elevator. Tinulak niya ng bahagya si miss Charlie at hinila ako papalabas. Muntik pa akong mapaluhod kasi nanlalambot talaga ako.
Irene quickly held my waist and one arm so that I can still walk properly.
"H-Hey" awat ko
"You're so hard-headed!" singhal niya
Lumingon ako sa likod at nakita si miss Charlie. She's smiling and waving her hand.
"Bye Czarina, goodluck!" she shouted
"Damn that Charlie! Tss you will sleep in my unit woman, no buts" biglang sabi ni Irene
We reached her unit. I sighed as she opens the door and drags me inside.
Agad akong napaupo sa sofa niya. Napangiwi pa ako kasi sumakit bigla yung ulo ko.
"What do you think are you doing Czarina? I called you hundred of times"
"Huh?"
She called? I slowly checked my phone and saw the notifications on the screen.
Miss Smith - 135 missed calls
Miss Smith - 236 messages
Napamura ako sa isip nang makita ito. I bite my lip as I look at her.
"I'm sorry...nasa bar kasi kami kanina hindi ko na tiningnan yung phone ko"
"You should have told me! I was sick worried about you. I called and sent message numerous times. I barged into your unit and saw no one Czarina!"
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"I thought...I thought you're gone. I thought you left me again" she added
I felt like someone stabbed me on the chest when she said that. I am so stupid for acting like this. Hindi ko man lang pinaalam sa kanya.
"I am sorry, hindi ako nagpaalam. I thought wala lang sayo, we're not talking for a week unless it's about work Irene. Akala ko wala ka ng pake sakin"
"I was waiting for you. I know you're hurt for what you've discovered" she said
