Author’s Note: Sorry, ang dami lang nangyari sa buhay ko sa mga nakaraang buwan (may naospital, may sakuna, may balikbayan, may sakit, may trabahong mabigat, atbp.) Salamat po sa patuloy na pagsubaybay at pagbabasa. Paumanhin muli sa matagal na paghihintay. :(  Without further ado, here's part 13 and happy new year to everyone! :)

Wasted – Part 13

Maya waved good-bye to Diana as the car pulled away from the training center of Time Airways.

“Kuya Joma,” Maya directed her greeting to the trusted driver and friend of the Lims. “Nasaan na sila Anton?”

“Ah Maya, nauna na sila sa venue ng play ni Nikki.” Joma caught her eye. “Baka raw kasi magipit kaya nauna na sila habang sinusundo kita. Andyan rin nga pala sa likod yung damit mo; ipinadala na lang nila.”

“Ha?” She twisted her body to pull out the box from the floor. “Kailangan ko pa magbihis?”

Joma just shrugged, with a smile playing on his lips as though with a secret. “Opening show raw kasi kaya special.”

“Naku, ano ba yan, kaya dapat hindi na ako pumasok eh. Para nakapag-ayos pa ako.” Maya pouted. “Pero ano ba laban ko sa mga Lim?”

Joma laughed as he maneuvered through the traffic. Maya sat back, lost in thought as she recalled how she came into the current situation.

“Ahh Ms Diana, I’m sorry. I think I won’t be able to come in today to the training center. You see,” Maya snuck a glance at Richard, seeing him perk up at this. “There are several family commitments today that I have to attend to.”  Richard signaled her to give him the phone and she shook her head vigorously.

Richard shook his own head and covered her hand holding the phone with his.  “Hello, Diana right? This is Richard Lim.” He occasionally paused, listening to the other end of the line. “Yes, yes, I understand. What would the training center duty entail? Okay. What would be the office hours? Noted on this. I’ll talk to Maya. Yes, we’ll call again. Thank you.” Richard ended the call without giving Maya a chance to speak.

“Richard, ano yun?” Maya felt annoyed. She was preparing herself for heartbreak that morning and now it seemed like Richard did not even bother to pay attention to her emotional well-being. Baka mamaya luhaan na nga ako, papapasukin pa ako nito sa trabaho.  She frowned at her thoughts.

“Maya, it seemed like they really do need help.” He handed her the cellphone. “Also, don’t you think this is a wonderful opportunity for you to be exposed to the other side of TA training?” Richard’s face was obliging, willing her to agree with him.

“Siyempre, ok na opportunity yun.” Maya conceded. “Pero, Richard, tulad ng dati, pamilya pa rin ang mauuna sa akin.” Seeing the usually stern face soften, Maya continued. “Oo nga at kailangan ko magtrabaho pero ‘di ko hahayaan na kainin nito yung oras ko kina Anton.” Maya was taken aback when Richard suddenly pulled her to himself in a hug.

“And that’s why you’re such a special woman, Maya.” She felt him drop a kiss on her head. “But still,” He pushed back, looking at her face. “Go for it, take this opportunity.”
