Maki sat on her cubicle, absentmindedly staring at the small transparent vase that held two kinds of flowers in it, rose pink buttercup and a white rose. It's been a few days when she and Cielo make it back in Manila, the latter went back to just the way how she treat the young secretary before they went to that convention trip in Cebu.
The only difference is that, the young CEO were a little bit more hard on the secretary this time, each of the latter's every move is being criticized by the older girl. Para kay Maki, walang pagkakaiba ang pinapakita ng Boss nito sakaniya kaysa sa dati, bagamat nararamdaman niya ang maliit na pagbabago, pinag-kibit balikat niya na lang ito. Kahit ano namang turing sakanya ng dalaga ay hindi siya magpapadala dahil ayon nga sakanya ay, ‘it's been 3 years, why not endure a little longer?’ .
Her phone buzzing suddenly take her out of her small reverie. It was Morgana, who's calling. Maki's eyebrows slightly furrowed, confused as to why her Boss's sister is calling. Although a little skeptical, she answer the call nonetheless.
“Morgana?” Maki greeted.
“I thought you're not gonna answer.” The younger girl muttered, letting out a nervous laugh afterwards.
“Pasensya na, I'm a little out of– nevermind. So, what's up?”
“No, continue. Am I disturbing you? I'll call you later na lang–”
“No, no, no. Ayos lang, lunch break nga namin eh.”
“Oh, have you eaten na ba?”
‘oo nga pala, tao pa pala ako. kailangan ko pa kumain’ Maki thought to herself and smile timidly. Just then she heard a low rumble of her stomach.
“Hindi pa eh.”
“Sakto, I haven't as well. Uhm...Do you want to have lunch with me?” with a hopeful tone, Morgana asked.
“Sure, since may atraso pa ako sa'yo.” natatawang sabi ni Maki at natawa ng bahagya si Morgana.
“Huh? Why? What did you do?”
“Yung supposed gala natin sana 'di ba? Shala siya nakalimutan na agad.”
“Ohh that. That was nothing, really.”
“So...lunch?” Morgana asked again.
“Gora, send me the loc na lang–”
“No, I'll sundo you there. Diyan ka lang.”
A couple of minutes later, Morgana arrives in front of the company building and she saw Maki standing there, waiting. A Toyota Corolla Altis sedan, pulls up in front of Maki, at iniluwa nito ang naka-ngiting Morgana Bernardo. Pinagbuksan ng pinto nito si Maki.
“Salamat.” the latter muttered as she gets in the car.
“Bago?” saad ni Maki habang iginagala ang paningin sa loob ng kotse.
“Yes. I figured na I'll be staying here sa Philippines so why not bought a car, para ma-less ang hassle ko sa everyday ganap.” nahihiyang sagot ni Morgana at pinaandar na ang sasakyan. Tumango si Maki flashing a downward smile.
“The exterior and interior is giving ha.” Maki said.
“So, saan tayo kakain?” the latter turn her head towards Morgana.
“Do you have a place in mind ba? or I could just chose the place?” Morgana asked glancing at Maki through the mirror and back to the road.
“Ikaw na bahala, kahit saan.” Sagot ni Maki at nagkibit-balikat.
