"I need those papers as soon as possible." Rinig kong sabi ni Mikha mula sa opisina niya. I'm about to open her office door when her subordinate just did.
"Hi!" Bati ko sa kaniya.
"Naku ma'am, medyo badtrip si bossing kaya hinay-hinay lang sa kaingayan." Pabiro niyang sabi. Natawa lang ako dahil dito. I'm actually close with Mikha's employees that's why we're comfortable to tease each other.
"Lagi naman badtrip at masungit 'yon. Hayaan mo na." I replied then let him go. Pumasok naman ako sa office niya not knowing na may mga kasama pa pala siya sa loob. Tumingin siya sa'kin as well as the other people in the room.
"We have dinner with your Grandma." I said to her.
"I'm in a meeting." She monotone giving me a blank stare.
"Yes, I can see that pero we promised her. We already rescheduled it because of your meetings, kailangan na natin pumunta ngayon." I firmly stated not backing down. Usually kasi, kapag naka-work mode siya, hindi siya magugulo.
"Sheena." May pagbabanta niyang banggit sa pangalan ko.
"We have to go, Mikha Lim." Mikha just clenched her jaw then stood up. She slowly walks towards me, still wearing her always blank face.
"I'll be right back." Sabi niya sa mga kasama niya. Lumabas kami ng office niya and hanggang sa makarating kami sa kotse niya, hindi siya nagsasalita.
She opens the car door for me then I get in. Not for long, nakaupo narin siya sa driver's seat. She held on the steering wheel without starting the engine.
"Can you stop doing that?" Bigla niyang sabi na pinagtaka ko.
"Ang alin?"
"Calling me by my full name." She avert her attention to me. "It's scary."
Bigla naman akong natawa sa sinabi niya. One thing about Mikha, she doesn't like it when I call her by her full name. She knows kasi na seryoso na ako and she needs to comply.
"I always feel na I'm in trouble kapag tinatawag mo ako in full name ko. Pwede bang magstick na lang tayo sa "baby" or "mahal"?"
"Ang cute kasi ng reaction mo lagi. But I can't do that, knowing you, you're so stubborn." She slightly pout her lips and look at me with disappointed puppy eyes.
Hindi ko napigilan ang sarili ko na pisilin ang pisngi niya sabay halik sa labi niya ng mabilis. "Stop sulking na, baby. Hinihintay na tayo ni MommyLa."
Mikha is my wife. Paano? Well, let just say na she falls because of my charms.
Flashback
Nandito ako ngayon sa business department kahit na sa engineering department talaga ako. Gusto ko kasi makita si crush ko na masungit.
When I saw her coming my way, lumapad bigla 'yung ngiti ko. "Hi, crush!" Masiglang sabi ko pero tumingin lang siya sa akin nang blangko.
Tuloy lang siya sa paglalakad kaya sumama ako. "Magpapasama sana ako sa bagong bukas na bookstore. Pwede mo ba akong samahan bilang kaibigan?"
"I'm not your friend." She coldly stated not looking at me.
"How about girlfriend? Join me as my girlfriend?" She turned her eyes to me na halatang hindi niya gusto 'yung sinabi ko.
"Joke lang." I timidly stated. She continues her pace so I follow through.
"What if magkape tayo?"
