Episode 24

"are you going out on a date with johnny?"

i slowly opened my eyes again right after i heard the same question jeshua had asked me earlier when we were together buying foods for dinner at the convenience store. i stared at the blank space in front of me thinking how should i answer my boss which honestly, there's no thoughts running through my head right now. my mind was blank just like how it went earlier when his daughter asked me. i dont know, talagang hindi ko alam paano ko sasagutin yung tanong na yan, my mind would suddenly gets blank like as if something was blocking me to answer that question.

or maybe, the reason why i couldn't think of an answer to that question and there's no words would come out inside my head to response, was because when johnny asked me if i could go on a date with him.. my mind was also blank. yes, i dont really know where i was coming from when i agreed to have a date with him once chrystyan woke up already. o baka kasi i just agreed for compromise. that day kasi, johnny was the one who watched over chrystyan the whole day instead of me.. so yeah, but i don't really think that's enough reason why did i agreed.

and now, both jeshua and his father, my boss, joshua was asking me the same question they have overheard last last night. at hanggang ngayon, wala padin talaga akong sagot.

"do you like him... seokmin?" my boss asked again when he didn't hear any response from me for some seconds now.

that question made me slowly turned my body to face him. oh, i was lying on the comforter that was on the floor beside jeshua who's sleeping soundly now and i tried to sleep na sana since he was busy already typing something on his laptop and when i shut my eyes to sleep, i heard his voice again asking me that question. when i turned my body to face him, he was still busy typing something on his laptop as his brows was furrowing... he looked so serious and he looked so focus on what he was doing. oh i remember, he didnt attend his job for the past two days ever since chrystyan was admitted.

siguro that's the reason why he looked so focus and was very serious on what he was doing right now, he needs to catch up with his backlogs which it seemed like parang andami when he was just absent for two days. he kept answering his clients call pa nga time to time e.

"i-i dont know..." i said it slowly and was barely audible because i know he wouldn't hear me, but i thought wrong because the moment i responded, he jerked his head to me like as if he was waiting for me to response. i swallowed hard. "i dont know, sir.. i haven't thought of that matter."

totoo naman. i dont really think having feelings with his cousin kasi parang sya lang din naman yun, johnny was like a boss to me. remember that i called him sir the first time we met and that time also when we accidently met at the supermarket. kung hindi nya pa sasabihin sakin that he wasn't like joshua and he wasn't my boss, i wouldn't stop calling and respecting him like what i was doing to my boss right now. that's why i dont know.. plus if i ever would like somebody else right now, i dont think it would be johnny.

though i could see that he was a good man. a very gentle one. just, one of a kind. and i know for sure there are a lot of girls who would fall for him, it wasn't impossible. plus he got the looks, actually bonus na nga lang yun. but still i dont think i would catch feelings for him.. and honestly, i dont have any plans on liking somebody, i need to focus on my job and my responsibilities as my boss's and his kids maid. yun lang.

"so you won't go out with him?..." we stared at each other's eyes for some seconds before he got his gazes back to what he was doing. at sasagot palang sana ako, he already uttered another words. "dont go then... just stay with the kids."
