WITH HIM PART 31
I probably had called her a hundred times but she was not answering. She didn't come home to me last night and I assume that she went home to her family. And because I went home too late last night, I just texted her goodnight and wished that she had a good night's sleep and that she enjoyed being with my mother earlier.
I was a little worried when I didn't get a reply even when I woke up this morning.
Today she didn't go to work either. Para akong tangang tingin nang tingin sa labas ng opisina ko. Tinatanaw ko ang office niya, thinking that she might show up anytime.
Hindi ito si Gem. Nag-aalala na ako, kahapon niya pa hindi sinasagot ang tawag ko, even my text had no reply. What was going on?
Dumaan ang boss niya, si James.
I opened the door of my office and called him. "Si Gem." I asked him.
"Huh!" Parang nagtaka siya. They knew in the office that we were engaged already, it had been almost two months. "Hindi kayo magkasama?"
I frowned. "What do you mean?"
"She called me last night. Out of town daw muna siya, emergency leave. Hindi niya raw kayang pumasok."
"What?"
James just shrugged. "Yeah, akala ko kasama ka."
Tinalikuran ko siya. I dialed my mom's cp number.
She answered right away. "Brett."
"Ma, di ba kasama mo si Gem kahapon? May nabanggit ba siya na aalis siya or something?"
Tahimik sa kabilang linya.
"Ma."
"Bakit magkasama kayo ni Barbie kahapon?"
"What?"
"Don't what me, Brett. Hindi kami bulag ni Gem."
"Damn it! This is it? Kaya hindi niya sinasagot ang tawag ko dahil iniisip niya na nakipag-date ako kay Barbie? Pati ba ikaw, ma?"
