Chapter 8

Buti na lang Friday na. It has been a roller coaster week for her. Buong araw bukas matutulog lang sya talaga. Sobrang na-drain lahat ng powers nya  nitong week na to. Pero thankful pa din sya na kahit paano ay mukhang mag-eend naman ng maayos ang lahat. Sobrang nagtatalon sya sa tuwa kahapon.

Yes! False alarm…I’m not preggy. Hayyyyy! Embarassing lang na nastein ko yung car nya…pero ok lang…sya naman nagpumilit na ihatid ako.

After that night sa Boracay, even though she chose to block thoughts and possibility of pregnancy, sobrang di nya maiwasan mag-alala kaya nga ng naramdaman nya ang mga “signs and symptoms” na nafeel nya nun mga nakaraan araw. Sumagi kagad sa isip nya ang possibility na  yun.

Ang saklap talaga if natuloy. Akalain mo first and last time nyang ginawa sapul kagad. Makakatulog na rin sya ng matiwasay. Hay...Thank you dear Lord!

Makapagcoffee nga muna…

Papalabas sya ng office ng makasalubong nya si Migs. Shit! Wrong timing naman…sya yung last person na gusto ko makita today!

Nag-iwas sya ng tingin, kunyari ay di nya ito napansin. Dere-deretso lang ito sa paglalakad. Ano na naman kaya ang banat nito ngayon? Naku! Wag na wag nya lang akong badtripin baka makalimutan ko na sya ang boss dito.

Laking gulat nya ng hindi sya pinansin nito… as in wala. Kahit “Hi”, dere-deretso lang din ito ng lakad nya parang walang nakita.

Imposible namang di sya nito nakita e sila lang ang tao sa hallway. Disappointed ba sya? Gaga! What are you expecting?…you practically begged him to stay away from you…He’s just doing what you’ve asked him to do…saka baka nagsawa na rin..ambisyosa ka…feeling mo naman hahabulin ka nya.

Hindi ko sinasabing hahabulin nya ako no…nanibago lang ako…

Nanibago…ambisyosa ka talaga no…e kahapon nga lang kayo ulit nagkita after Bora. It’s not like ganun kalalim ang pinagsamahan nyo…Feelingera…

Ok fine whatever…di ako disappointed at di ako ambisyosa…at di ako feelingera no…hello?! Thankful ako na sabi nga nya professional sya. At least panatag ako na wala syang gagawin na makakaaffect sa work ko…yun…happy ako no…lahat mukhang magiging ok naman…

So let it be…

Binlock na lang nya ang pagtatalo ng isip nya. Malapit na ata syang maging bipolar. Well, ito ang nangyayari kapag sinasarili ang maga bagay-bagay. She wishes she could tell Reese about this. Pero hindi pwede e. Malaki tiwala nya sa best friend pero minsan di maiwasng nadudulas ito sa kuya nya kaya minsan nililimit nya ang ikekwento dito or ipifilter muna nya. Mahirap na.

Wala kasi syang masyadong friends. Ok, di sya ganun ka-friendly or she chooses kung sino talaga yung feeling nya magtatagal. Ayaw nya kasi ng friends based on quantity, mas gusto yung based sa quality.

She only have 3 closes friend in her life---excluding his brother---sina Reese, si May na bestfriend nila ni Reese pero unfortunately nasa Canada na, so fb, skype, twitter, email, phone na lang communication nila, at si Ethan… ang ex-boyfriend niya at syempre dahil dun ex-friend na din nya.

Napabuntong hininga sya. Ayaw nyang naaalala si Ethan…kapag ganito di nya maiwasng maging teary-eyed tapos yung feeling na parang kinacrush yung puso nya. She hates it. It’s almost a year with no closure…Ayaw nya ng isipin.

Sa ngayon, focus muna dapat sya sa buhay nya, sa career nya. Sa totoo lang tripleng effort ang ginagawa nya dahil kung tutuusin dapat at this point of time ay quite established na sya sa field na’to pero heto at nagsisimula pa lang sya. She’s determined to succeed in this field. Kaya nga ng makita nya si Migs sa company. Nakaramdam din sya ng takot, takot na baka di pa man siya nagsisimula, tapos na ang career nya. That’s the last thing she wants. Kasi after everything that had happened to her. Ito lang ang muling nagpasaya sa kanya. Ito ulit yung nagbigay sa kanya ng passion for life. After that devastating love story of hers, itong fashion design lang ang naging instrument nya para bumangon ulet. Itong first love nya na’to.

Kaya gagawin nya lahat para maging successful dito. Kahit pa sabihing makapal ang mukha nya dahil nagstay pa rin sya kahit na nalaman nya na boss nya si Migs. Wa pakels! She’s not going to quite just like that. After all this company is the perfect place to be known globally. She’s not going to waste her chances.

“Why are you assigning her as the team leader all of a sudden?”

“Well, unfortunantely Miss Gutierrez, the current team leader of that project handed me her resignation letter earlier…It was an immediate resignation. I can’t hold her until the project is finished since it’s urgent. She just received a full scholarship from NYFS.”

“Impressive…” sabi nya. “However, how about the Singapore project? I thought Miss Gutierrez was already assigned for that…”

“Well, my plan is to assign it to Miss Saaverdra again…though she’s just here for like a month…I think with that skills and talent, she might be the right person for that.”

“Hmmm…so, she’s just here for a month…Do you think she still needs to learn before you let her handle the big project for Singapore?” Tanong ni Migs Kay Manager Lee, manager ng design department.

“No, I think she’s ready…She’s assigned as the assistant team leader for upcoming design collection and as I observed she’s really doing good…and actually we used her design of course, with her consent and with proper compensation during the HK fashion week. And we got good reviews…that’s why we decided to hire her even though her academics are not sufficient.”

“Oh, I see…well, in that case…I’ll trust your word for that…we can’t fail…investors from Paris are at stake in here.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll personally supervise her.”

Tumango lang sya.

“Thank you, Sir. I’m going…” Paalam nito.

“Ok…”

Tinitignan nya ang portpolio at personal data ni Nica. Impressive, she really has the talent. And bukod dun mukhang matalino pa, graduate of Marketing management as cum laude sa one of the top school sa Philippines. Hindi pala basta-basta tong babaeng ito. Bukod sa maganda na matalino pa. Swerte ang boyfriend nito. Teka, my boyfriend na kaya sya? Hmmm..I don’t think so…

And what makes you think so?

Wala, It’s just a hunch…

Given that she’s single, so what? Are you gonna make your moves on her? Ganun…Liligawan mo?

I never meant that and I don’t have plans to do so...

He pushes his mixed thoughts away. This girl for whatever reason keeps on bugging her mind lately. Noong una, natutuwa lang sya sa reakyon nito kapag inaasar nya. Pikon kasi… pero wala naman na syang balak na abalahin pa ito or what except for work. He’s professional that way and he sees that she is too. The fact that she begged him to keep distance just proved that.

But why can’t he simply toss away this image of her inside his head? NO, There’s nothing to decipher…No meaning behind that…She might be a perfect lady but there is only one woman that is perfect for me…and I’m gonna make sure that we’re going to perfectly fit together.

Nainterrupt ang pagiisip nya ng kumatok ang assistant nya.

“Sir, Miss Elise is about to finish her photo shot…”

“Ok thank you…”

Malinaw sa kanya ang goal nya at yun ang pipilitin nyang abutin.
