EPITHYMÍA: cup of desires

Cup #27

"Good morning Miss Scarlet!" Bati sakin ng secretary ni Daryl.

"Morning too, nandiyan ba si Daryl?" I asked.

Kasi nauna siya kaninang umalis ng bahay. Nagpuyat kasi ako sa presentation for the next meeting this afternoon at masusundan pa yun ng business dinner.

"Opo, medyo busy nga lang po siya pero pwede po kayong pumasok."

I said thanks to her at deretso ng pumasok sa opisina ni Daryl.

She is right, busy nga ang boss niya. Daryl is facing his laptop habany may kausap sa telepono.

"Yes, Mrs. Andres i will take note of that." Rinig kong sabi ni Daryl.

I smiled at him nung nakita niya ako while he just winked at me.

Lumakad muna ako sa wine rack niya para kumuha ng red wine at isinalin sa dalawang glass.

"Yes, i will expect the delivery of it next week... Make sure that it will be safe... alright.. thank you... bye..."

Then he hung up the phone.

Naglakad siya papunta sakin and hug me then kiss my cheek.

"Hi.." he said.

"Looks like youre busy.. balak sana kitang iinvite for lunch. Gutom na kasi ako." I said.

Iinumin ko na sana ang wine nang inagaw niya to sakin.

"Dont drink alcohol when youre stomach is empty." Matigas niyang sabi.

Nagpout na lang ako.

But he smiled and kissed my lips.

"Didnt you ate the breakfast i made you??" He asked.

Umiling lang ako.

"Im running late, hindi mo naman kasi ako ginising."

"Because youre tired of working that presentation. Sweetheart i had reminded you many times not to stress yourself too much." Paalaala niya sakin.

I slid my arm on his nape.

"But i need to finish it. The construction will start next week. Hindi naman pwedeng idelay ko yun." Dahilan ko.

Then he sighed as a surrender.

"Alright.. wait ill just call my secretary to bring us some food here." At kumalas siya sa yakap namin at bumalik sa table niya.

Sumunod ako sakanya while he is calling his secretary over to telephone while i check some of his work.

Mas marami yung ginagawa niya kaysa sakin pero bakit parang ang kalmado ni Daryl. Tss.. siguro sanay na siya.

While looking at his documents nakaattract sa akin ang isang maliit na papel sa table niya.

Its was an invitation.

Kinuha ko ito at binasa.

"Uhmm.. is this for you grand reunion??" I asked.

Binaba niya naman ang phone and look at the invitation.

"Uhh.. yeah." Simpleng sagot niya.

"Its also tonight right? Sino nagbigay sayo? Si Bridget?" Hindi naman sa nagger ako pero gusto ko lang iclear.

Ayoko namang wala akong alam sa mga nangyayari sakanya.

"She passed by early this morning to give that. Umalis din naman siya kaagad." He explained.

"Ah ganun ba.. uhmm have fun okay?" Medyo ilang kong sabi.

Hindi ko naman kasi alam kung ano ang sasabihin.
