I went back to my condo to get my car keys and drove myself to my office. My condo building is not that far from my office so usually I just commute, but this time its different, wala ako sa tamang wisyo to commute baka lumagpas ako or something might happen so I just used my car.

Ok, I'm over analyzing things again.

Makakapag isip ako ng maayos sa sasakyan ko.

Yep, I'm weird.

"Jess, any event for this week?"

Agad akong umupo sa swivel chair ko at hinilot ang aking sintido, sa tapat ko naman ay ang sekretarya kong si Jess.

"May isa po, Wedding po.. I'll send you the details later po, ma'am"

"Hmm, okay"

Napagpasiyahan kong pumunta sa kusina namin dito para mag timpla ng kape, di ata sapat yung kape na ininom ko kanina.

"Hinay hinay sa pagka-kape..."

Napalingon naman ako sa pinang-galingan ng boses.

Nginitian ko lang ito.

"You look so stress, what happened?"

"Halata ba masyado? Hmm siguro dahil sa sunod sunod na events last month." I nodded as if I'm convincing myself na yun nga ang dahilan.

"Really? Then why don't you take a break? A vacation, maybe?"

"Vacation? Its sounds great but when,and where, Tash?"

"Boracay? Pangasinan? Bulacan? You know, there's a lot of tourist spots here in the Philippines"

"Eh, how about my work here? Diba nakaka stress din yun, yung malayo ka sa work mo."

"Don't you trust us? Your team? Omygad Sammy babe, you have to trust us! Go! Magbakasyon ka na, kami ng bahala dito.."

Well, As if I have a choice.

"Okay fine."

I went back to my office, still thinking about that vacation thingy, why is everybody suggesting me to take a rest? Like I'm okay, there's nothing wrong with me. Its just that I'm so done with life and my stress is tressing me out. fuck my life.

Bad mouth.

I continued planning about the wedding that will be held next next month, I believe, the groom is one of the hot bachelors in town, the hell I care. No I'm not bitter. A little bit maybe.

Knock knock.

"Hello there,Sunshine!"

What is this guy doing here?. I looked at my wrist watch, Its 10:25 am.

Still early para mang-bwisit.

"Hmm?"

"Ang aga ko ba? Well, I miss you."

What the actual fuck??

"Mr. Gabriel Ian Salem, wala akong panahon sa mga jokes mo, sunfuin mo nalang ako mamaya sa condo ko"

He laughed, well as expected. He sat on the chair that is in front of me and rest his foot on my table. How respectful.

"So serious, its almost 11:00 aren't you going to eat lunch?"

"Not until you leave my office Mr. Salem, so? Get out."

Am I rude to him? Am I mean to him? Well let me tell you this, this guy in front of me was my ultimate crush back in highschool, we're not close and definitely not a friends, but we're classmates. We talk but not that much. One reason is my ex, yes remember Rafael? Yeah that asshole, ok. He's jealous of Gab, he knows that I have a crush on him so I didn't push my feelings for Gab.

Then we graduated, Me and Gab went to the same universities, Raf and I broke up, I'm so broken that time, and broke of course, who wouldn't be. Ok back on my story.

I even thought Gab and I were destined for each other, yeah maharot. Then were classmates again, thats when he talk to me na naman and he's so makulit, feeling close tapos we became friends, and sometimes we go out...

But with our highschool friends tss, I even thought we were dating for fuck's sake! But yeah I keep my hopes up too much. Pero were besties daw, 'daw' he's the one who said it! Sus if I were him, I'd girlfriend me!, Samara Montemayor na ito oh! Gad. But yeah whatever!.

I still like him tho but yeah I'm hopeless romantic slash allergic to love kinda person.

I told you, I'm weird.

"Hey you're smilling, tsk sabi na nga ba crush mo ko eh"

Wow naman, sobrang taas ng confidence level, di ko ma reach oh!

"Tss, Mr. Salem could you please lower down your confidence level, ang taas eh"

He chuckled. "Okay okay.. Ang sungit! Meron ka ba?"

Ang panget mo!! Ugh!

"Wala."

"Then why are you smilling? Nawala na ba ang katinuan mo at nagkakaganyan ka?"

Daming sinabi you could've said you love me nalang!

"I just missed our highschool friends, kamusta na kaya sila? Nahinga pa kaya sila?"

"You're so mean! Of course they are!"

I missed our patagong gala back in highschool, you know having a strict parents sucks. But were like BDO, we find ways.

Lunatic. tss

"Bakasyon tayo!!" Okay ako na excited, naalala ko lang everyone wants me to take a vacation daw because I look stressed so whatever, I think this is the perfect timing for that!

"Woah, akala ko ba busy ka? You can't leave your business then gagala tayo?"

Basag trip naman 'to. Kung di lang gwapo 'to babatukan ko eh.

"Eh I just thought, diba its been what? 4 years? 5 years? Diba super tagal na!"

"Ayoko. Ikaw nalang!'

"I'll call Patricia sige ka!"

Its his ex, yung lunatic na yon.

I believe she's in mental right now. No, not for medication, she's a doctor daw for those who's nasiraan ng utak. Pero malapit na din siyang mapasama sa mga pasyente niya. I can feel it.

"Tss. As if you can duh! You can't even touch the tips of her hair, kausapin pa kaya"

Yeah, he has a point.

I just want to bond with my friends, nakaka stress na din kasi dito, i want to fresher up a bit.

"Okay, I'll try to call Stacy later para makapag bakasyon tayo but for the mean time, dinner muna later sa bahay okay? I'll pick you up, be ready at 7:00"
