-11-

Mira's POV

'Baby, please. Let's talk'

'I really went home for us to talk'

'I'm sorry for keeping an eye on you, okay? I already lifted it.'

'Mira, please!'

Mga text sa'kin ni Zedric. Paulit-ulit lang yung iba. Hindi ko na lang pinansin at tumuon ang atensyon kanila Ate pero biglang nag-ring yung phone ko.

Kaagad kong pinatay and said 'sorry' to Ate at sa iba pa naming kasama. I immediately turned off my phone para hindi ulit maka-istorbo. Kasalukuyan kaming nag-mi meeting sa mga magiging part ng project. Nag-tataka nga ako kung bakit wala si Patrick dito e.

Everything is moving to plan. At nakikita kong sobrang saya ni Ate. This is simply the first major project of the company when she take over the presidency. I'm glad to be part of her success too.

"Mira, will you do us a favor?" tanong bigla ni Ate

"As long as I can help, sure."

"Sayo ko sana ipag-katiwala yung supervision ng plantation sa La Union." sabi ni Ate

"So in other words, I would go there personally to check. Is that it?"

"Yep."

Naramdaman kong gumalaw si Ken sa tabi ko at bumulong, "This can be also a good chance para makapag-isip isip ka sa inyong dalawa ni Zedric." lumayo siya saka nag-salita, "Space, remember?"

Ken got a point there. Hindi ko pa rin kasi kayang harapin ng maayos si Zedric, lagi lang umiinit ang ulo ko. I can also consider that as another vacation. So, I made up my mind.

"Sige, pupuntahan ko." I said while smiling

"Nice. Also, you can bring Mr. Gonzales with you."

"Si Patrick? Hindi naman na kailangan siguro."

"He also mentioned that he want to see our plantation in La Union."

"Okay." naisip kong puntahan na lang siya sa office niya. Epal na 'yon, ayaw talagang ibigay yung number ni Xander! Mamaya sa'kin 'yon.

Natapos ang meeting at napag-kasunduan na mamayang gabi na kaagad ako lalakad. Ate even asked kung isasama ko ba daw si Zedric but I said, I rather decline her offer to go there than letting Zedric come with me.

After the meeting, dumiretso ako sa service car ko at nag-pahatid sa hotel ni Patrick. I suddenly remembered na andun din pala si Xander. Last night, I texted him that it is my number and he should feel free to text me whenever. I was waiting for his reply pero nagulat ako nang naka-tanggap ako ng tawag mula sa kanya

*Last night

Since wala akong maisip na topic, I sent him a message that it is my phone number. I waited him to reply but a minute passed, wala pa ring reply.

I lied down on my bed and waited for myself to be sleepy. As I was about to sleep, my phone suddenly rang. As I was not expecting someone to call me and thinking it was Zedric, hinayaan ko lang. But then, something pushes me to at least look at the Caller ID.

At talagang napa-balikwas ako sa kama nang makita ko kung sino yung tumatawag.

Medyo nag-alangan pa ako bago ko sagutin, "Hello?"

["So if I didn't called I wouldn't really know if this was you."]

"B-Bakit? Wala ka bang tiwala sa text ko?'
