After their breakfast together, Avi immediately excuse herself. She said she has a lot of things to do. Mrs. Salvador didn't say anything about it as well Mavi.
When she finally get in the office, she started squealing like a highschool teenage girl.
"Omg, she's so mabango." She made a small dance while humming a melody as she sat down on her chair.
"Who's mabango?" Jeremiea asked her, who just arrived in the office.
"Je, you never mention to me na ang good looking pala Mavi." Avi spoke with her dreamy eyes.
"Kadiri." Jeremiea said in disgust.
"Uy, grabe ka naman. Pero seryoso ang gentle tapos sobrang kind. We bumped to each other nga kanina as in literal." Avi shares their interaction earlier.
"Tapos sinungitan ka?" Jeremiea who is getting ready to do her work asked without looking at Avi.
"Uhm, kinda?" Avi replied unsure.
Jeremiea just nod.
'Sus, pinapaganda pa yung term. Hindi na lang sabihin na masama ang ugali. Ewan ko sayo Avi.'

After few hours of working lunch break comes.
"Je, padeliver ka na lang ng lunch dito." Avi said while still signing some papers.
"What do you-
Jeremiea was about to asked what food to order but two woman on their semi-casual fit came in. Avi turn her head to them and she smiled.
" Hello there people." Crys is the first one to greet them.
"What are you guys doing here?" Jeremiea asked.
"For lunch?" Gleen replied as she sit on the couch.
"Gleen and I brought some food for us." Crys said and place the food down on the table infront of the couch.
"Then, let's eat." Avi join them.
"We should, because Avi owe us a lot of chika." Crys playfully wiggled her eyebrows as she tease Avi.
"I don't know what are you talking about." Avi unconsciously spoke with defensive tone.
"Oh yeah sure." Gleen added some tease.
"Kumain kaya muna tayo." Jeremiea said, she looks annoyed by just looking on her face.
All of them looks at her with confusion.
'amoy selos agad wala pang kwento' Gleen thought while looking at Jeremiea to Avi then Crys.
They started to eat while talking about their works until the conversation shift to Avi.
"I heard na you meet Mavi na daw?" Crys asked as she keep on eating.
"And?" Avi asked.
"Tell us more about it." Gleen said who is done eating. She give a side glance to Jeremiea who's quietly eating.
"There is nothing to tell about her naman." Avi shrugged her shoulder and wipe her lips with tissue and drink her water.
"May bayad ba yang kwento mo, mukhang tinitipid mo kasi." Crys said while looking at Avi.
"Baka raw maovershare." Gleen added a side comment.
"What? Seryoso nga, wala." Avi use her dismissive tone.
"I don't believe you. I know you Avi. Everytime na may nakikilala kang bago you share them with us." Crys pushed the topic.
Avi turn to Gleen and Jeremiea to ask for help but the two keep their mouth shut.
Avi let out a sigh.
"Crys those people I've talked about ay mga nakadate ko. Hindi ko naman kadate si Mavi." Avi explained.
"Oh bakit parang disappointed ka? Gusto mong makadate?" Gleen tease as she grin at Avi. The latter became red, feeling shy about what Gleen just said.
"Bakit hindi ka makasagot? Totoo?" Jeremiea suddenly asked.
"Hindi kaya." Avi denied.
"Hmm, kapag ikaw talaga lumandi ha." Crys said.
"Subukan lang." Jeremiea mumbled.
"Ano naman kung lumandi? Kaya na yan ni Avi." Gleen side with Avi.
"Hayts buti ka pa Gleen." Avi's eyes widened when she realized what she said.
The three woman turn to her and lean.
"May balak ka?" They asked in unison.
Avi immediately walk away from them and went back to her table.
"Lunch break over, go back to your work." Avi said as she pretend to do something.
The three shake their head without saying anything.

If only you here, you'll love this.

A phone call interrupt her thoughts .
"Dad"
"How are you there?"
"The breakfast with them went well. If that's what you want to know."
"I'm talking about you."
"Then good."
"Why are you talking like that? Are you still sulking about the set up?"
"No."
"Then why are you being like that?"
"Bye dad."
She hung up.
She stare on the wallpaper of her phone with the sad smile on her lips.
"I miss you, hon." she whispered.
