Unbreak Vienna's Heart

Kabanata 8

Kinaumagahan ay naghahanda ako para pumasok sa company. I was first exercising, well I do exercise each and every day to avoid future health issues not only for me but for my baby's health as well while I was also taking healthy diet plan.

The morning sickness was still on going every morning.

Another month had passed since the last encounter with Pierre, Jessy and Brandon. Nawalan na ako ng balita sakanilang dalawa o sa relasyon nila. I may not hearing news about them or not meeting with them anymore but the pain still lingering, it still hurts me the most cause of the thought of thinking them.

Hindi ko nga namamalayang napapaluha na pala ako ngayon ka'ya mabilis ko na lamang pinunasan ng dahan dahan gamit ang aking palad.

Medyo visible na rin ang baby bump ko ka'ya puro maternal dress na ang sinusuot ko kahit saan ako magpunta, even at my work.

These past few days paiba iba na rin ang nagiging moods ko, mabilis na rin akong maburned outs sa workloads but I'm determined to do the things I needed to do.

"I heard your ex boyfriend and bestfriend were spotted dating this week." sabi ni Sandy habang nagwoworking out ako bago pumasok sa work. Ang sinabing iyon ni Sandy ay recent news na narinig ko ngayong buwan.

"Okay, well it's because they had relationship reason why they're dating." sarkastikong sagot ko kay Sandy habang nakataas ang isang kilay.

Ibinaba ko ang light weight dumbbell sa gilid, I intended to exercise near the windows where the healthy sun rays in the morning was hiting on my skin which is good for the body.

Pagkababa ko naman ng tools for fitness ay nagtungo ako sa kitchen para kumuha ng almond nuts, cause I'm craving for that specific food.

"Surely, you'll be in the hot seat as to why you're pregnant but your long time boyfriend's
having relationship with someone new," ani Sandy habang kumukuha ng coffee sa cupboard.

Napaisip ako sa sinabing iyon ni Sandy, but those their opinions matter? It's between let them think what are their speculations about me and pride plus ego. Anong pipiliin ko sa dalawa? Hahayan sila o ang kahihiyan ko na baka kung anong isipin ng mga tao sa paligid ko?

"I respect your decision na ayaw mong si Marc ang maging proxy father ng baby mo, well it's your choice."

"I don't need no one to save me and my baby from negative opinions, Dy." sabi ko sa malamyang boses.

"Hayaan mo na kung ano isipin nila, si Pierre naman ang nagloko at hindi ikaw," medyo nakasimangot na sinabi ni Sandy.

"Well, wala naman akong choice kung ano isipin nila." sabi ko at nagkibit balikat bago nguyain ang almond peanuts.

"Have you slept early yesterday night? Sleep deprivation are definitely no no good for pregnancy, alagaan mo ang baby mo kasi magkakaroon s'ya ng beautiful godmother soon!" Napangiti ako sa sinabi ni Sandy, obviously sarili n'ya ang tinutukoy n'ya.

After an hours of chitchats we head to our office to work. Madalas na kaming sabay ni Sandy these days dahil dati ay si Pierre ang hatid sundo saakin. We really do have a lot of memories for the past years pati ang routines naming dalawa no'n ay unti unti nang napapalitan kagaya ngayon.

"Are you craving for foods, Vien?" nabaling ang tingin ko kay Marc na nakatayo sa harapan ko at nakapatong ang dalawang braso sa wall ng cubicle ko.

Kasalukuyan akong nakaupo dito sa cubicle ko ng tanungin ako ni Marc, on duty kami ngayon ka'ya nagulat ako sa tanong na iyon ni Marc.

"Sorry, mukhang nagulat yata kita." napakamot ito sa ulo, hilaw akong ngumiti.

"Hindi naman, Marc." well, ang totoo nagulat talaga ako at muntikan pa akong mapahawak sa dibdib ko, marahil ay tutok na tutok ako sa computer dahil nagtatrabaho ako.

"Ohh, okay. Just call me when you need anything. I'm just one call away." He said while smiling. Ginamit pa n'yang telephone ang kamay n'ya ng sabihin n'ya iyon kaya mas lalong lumaki ang ngiti ko.

"Sure, thanks a lot, Marc."

"No worries." He replied back and then go back to his cubicle. Hindi naman malayo ang table n'ya saakin.

Hindi naman nag-iba ang naging atmosphere namin sa isa't isa ni Marc o ang pakikisalamuha, ganoon parin.

Maybe, as per my request to him I would really love if we stayed up as a friends, he never did lay-low from me again. The last time na umiiwas s'ya saakin ay no'ng halos araw araw kong kasama si Pierre dito dahil inihahatid at sinusundo pa ako.

Napabuntong hininga ako at nag warm up sa pamamagitan ng marahang pag ikot ng aking leeg at mga braso. Getting ready for more workloads.

Well, on a typical day as a computer programmer can be involved in many different coding projects. Daily duties might include: testing the codes for new programs and writing it. We computer programers working closely web and software developers to write code for new mobile applications or computer programs and all.

And lastly setting goals for the day and retrospectives.

Tinatawag ako ng kalikasan ka'ya naman ay kaagad akong tumayo para magtungo sa comfort room, nakasalubong ko si Janice sa hallway, we stopped a bit to have conversation.
She's on my team.

"Buntis ka pala, Vienna! Congratulations to the mom-to-be." sabi ni Janice, habang malaki ang ngiting nakatingin saakin at sa baby bump ko. "Thank you, Janice." I smiled and caresses my tummy.

"Sorry for what have happened to you. . . I heard the news." lumungkot ang boses at ekspresyon ni Janice ng sabihin n'ya iyon, hilaw akong napangiti.

"It's fine. Anyways, I gotta go." I smiled and turned my back on her. Ihing ihi na talaga ako at hindi ko na yata ka'ya ang another minute of conversation, madalang narin akong naaihi marahil sa pagbubuntis ko.

Pagbalik ko sa aking cubicle ay nagtitipon tipon na ang lahat habang ang main leader namin nakatayo sa gitna si sir Raf, s'ya ang nagmistulang attention seeker marahil ay may announcement.

"I'm pleased to announce that Nebula Web Development Co. and Tech Company have had merged this morning earlier." Nagpalakpakan ang lahat dahil sa maganda balita, hindi rin ako makapaniwala pero natutuwa dahil kahit maliit lang ang aming company kumpara sa company nila ay nakipag merge parin sila dito.
They've expanded new territories, it would be great especially for gain market share, reduce costs of operations, grow revenues, and increase profits. That would be beneficial to the shareholders.

Sa pagkakaalam ko ay NWDC ang leading technology business as of now.

And Tech Company is the name of the company where I was working as a computer programmer.

"And Pierre Johansen Jimenez the NWDC software engineer will be the acting CEO of Tech Company." nanlaki ang aking mga mata sa sinabing iyon ni sir Raf, at hindi ko din namalayan na halos lahat ng mata ay nasaakin na ang tingin.

Dahil mataas ang chance na baka madalas na kaming magkita ni Pierre sa kumpanyang ito.
