CHAPTER 2: UNFORTUNATE
SORCHA'S POV
A few years ago...
I'm in a happy mood. Pinayagan kasi ako ng mga boss ko na lumabas ng tanghali kahit oras pa ng trabaho. Nag-aalangan pa akong magtanong sa kanila no'ng umpisa. It's not like I have a legitimate reason to give them, and I didn't want to lie.
But Dagger is really different from what I imagined it would be like to be in a workplace. There's respect and professionalism, but it's not the inflexible kind, nor is it toxic. It's like being in a loud and big family. Paulit-ulit nga kaming sinasabihan ng mga boss namin na huwag na namin silang tawagin na sir. Which, I admit, is not easy for me. I'm used to calling people by their title, surname, or honorific.
Kahapon ko pa hinahanap si Trace dahil sa lahat ng magkakapatid ay siya ang pinaka-approachable. Sa kaniya ko sana gustong magpaalam dahil sa kabila ng environment na mayroon ang Dagger ay siyempre hindi naman nila ako basta mapapayagan na umalis. Ang kaso wala si Trace at ang iba pa niyang mga kapatid maliban kay Axel at Thorn.
One will think that it's better to go to Axel than to Thorn. He looks shy and gentle, but out of the seven brothers, I could feel that he's someone that shouldn't be messed with. It's also hard to disturb him when he's busy and he hasn't slept for hours. Tanging ang asawa niya lang ata ang kayang makapagpaganda sa mood niya kapag ganoon.
So I went to the eldest Dawson. When I told him my reason and after promising that I would be back to finish the rest of the working hours, he just stared at me as if I were a creature that he hadn't seen yet. That is saying something since he's married to a woman that people describe as a unicorn. Anyway, after that, the corner of his lips went up as if he were amused, and then he told me that I could go.
And here I am. Nagbaba ako ng tingin sa yakap-yakap ko na paso. "I was even considering taking a sick leave just for you."
Nakita ko kasi sa Facebook ang announcement ng kilalang local farm sa Baguio na kasama sila sa gaganaping bazaar sa SM Dasmariñas. Ang kaso natapat naman na may pasok ako.
I could have gone after work, but I have a feeling na wala na akong maabutan. I was right since, when I arrived here at the mall, they were nearly sold out. In fact, there was only one left of the plant that I wanted.
"You're meant for me—"
Hindi ko pa natatapos ang sasabihin ko ay may malakas na bumangga sa akin. Pakiramdam ko ay naging slow-mo ang pangyayari habang pinapanood ko kung paanong kumawala sa pagkakahawak ko ang paso ng Monstera plant na bitbit ko.
Sinubukan kong habulin iyon pero hindi ko na iyon nagawa dahil muli na naman akong nabangga. Alam kong maliit ako pero ganoon ba ako kaliit para hindi nila ako makita?!
I have full intention of giving the person who bumped into me a piece of my mind, but I wanted to try and save the plant first. Kahit naman basag na ang paso niyon ay pwede ko namang ilipat sa ibang paso.
