Chapter 25: Tragedy

George's POV...

A beep from my phone woke me up. Damn. It's past 6am. Dapat ay kanina pa ako nagising. Baka ma-late na naman ako sa trabaho.I saw a text message from a private number--abroad. Sino naman kaya ito? I opened it and learned that it was from Ken.What the.. At bakit naman international number ang gamit nang kumag na ito?

Uh-yeah. I nearly forgot, nasa Amerika nga pala siya for the "sudden project"niya doon.Hindi nga siya nakapagpaalam sa akin ng personal eh. I have been worried for almost 24 hours reaching his phone but all my attempts were wasted. Tumawag na lang siya nung hapon last Monday na nasa America na siya together with his team. He apologized over and over. Hindi rin naman daw niya inaasahan yung paglipad nila doon.

Sadyang urgent ang Memo na nakarating sa kanila. Ano pa nga bang magagawa ko hindi ba? Nangyari na kasi e. Hindi ko na naman siya mapipigilan at kung mapipigilan ko man siya, para sa trabaho naman yun e.

I read his text message.

Hi babe. Good morning to the most gorgeous fiancée I have ever met in the whole universe. Alam kong hindi ka pa gising niyan pero sleepyhead, wake up. You'll be late for work. Grab your breakfast I have ordered and asked to be delivered from a nearby cafe. Take care from going to work. I love you so much. XOXO, Ken.

I smiled at the text message. Ang sweet niya. Naisip pa talaga niyang i-order ako ng breakfast at ipa-deliver sa unit ko. Damn. I must get up and take a shower. Dapat before mai-deliver yung food ay tapos na akong mag-shower.Dali-dali akong tumakbo papuntang shower.

I was munching the bacon when my phone rang. Si Ken tumatawag. I answered it and smiled widely. Maririnig ko na naman ang boses.

"Hi babe! Why do you always want to spoil me? I love you so much. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to pig out." I said giddily while eating the hash brown.

"It's nothing, babe. Only the best for my gorgeous fiancee.So, how's today? Aren't you late for work?" He chuckled.

Shocks. Right, I was going to be late for work if I won't eat fast right now.

"Oh yeah, I'll hang up. I'll just text you later. Bye. I love you!" I muttered sweetly. Pa-cute-pa ako e hindi naman niya nakikita.

"I love you more, babe. Wag na magpa-cute, maganda ka na." He said while laughing.

Ugh. Bat niya nalamang nagpapa-cute ako? Halata ba sa boses ko? I'm doomed.

"Hmp. Okay, I'll hang up na. I love you ulit."Then dropped the call. Inisang lagok ko na yung coffee then headed to CR to brush my teeth.

"Oh, wait!" I screamed while reaching out the closing elevator. I sighed. Buti at naabutan ko. Halos matawa ang mga kakilala ko sa elevator sa ginawa ko. Mukha akong timang.Gawd.

"Hi, good morning!" Bati ko sa kanila nang nakangiti. They greeted back. Whew! Save yourself from humiliation with a nice greeting. The elevator stopped on seventh floor. Pinauna ko na silang lumabas dahil baka kung ano namang kahihiyan ang magawa ko. At nang makaalis na silang lahat ay ako naman ang lumabas at binilisan ang paglalakad. Ngunit sa paglalakad ko, at sa sobrang pagka-paranoid ko na wag ma-late hindi ko nakita ang lalaking nagmamadali rin tulad ko.

Nagkabungguan kami at talaga namang ang lakas nung impact. Sobrang sakit nang kanang braso ko. Napaupo pa ako sa marbled floors, buti na lang iniabot niya ang kanyang kamay upang tulungan ako.
