The Boss' Nerd

Shell-Shocked

She was dismissed just like that.

"Fudge... Fudge... Fudge... What to do? What to do?" She said inwardly, panicking... She immediately called Paolo and decided to talk to him right away...  Few more minutes and they are at their favorite coffee shop...

Paolo : What???? Hahahaha... Hahaha...

Maine : Bes, tawa pa more! Kulang pa! Hindi pa dinig ng buong universe! Fudge lang db?

Paolo : Imagine, what if biglaan talaga? E di pareho pa kayong shocked! Yung tipong isa sa inyo e babagsak na lang at hahalik sa lupa... Hahaha... I can definitely imagine that hilarious scene... Hahaha...

Maine : Have you seen the movie of Cherie Gil and Sharon Cuneta's classic water scene but this time coffee naman in your face... (Pikon voice with matching deadly scowl)

Paolo : E kasi naman... Hahha... Hahaha... Sorry... Peace na tayo, bes...

Maine : What am I to do? What am I to do? I could imagine myself throwing up sa laki ng responsibility sa company but I am seeing killing myself when introduce as his fiancée... My God! Hindi ko po pinangarap na magpabaril sa Luneta!

Paolo : OA mo bessss... Guwapo naman siya db? Aminin mo! Mucho gwapito! Hindi ka na lugi... Hahaha... Hahaha...

Maine : Playboy, arrogant, rude, irresponsible moron! Hindi ako lugi???? Hello, wala akong balak mag-yayo ng ganung tao for a year...

Paolo : Hahaha... Talagang sobrang wasak ang image ni Richard sa iyo no?

Maine : Talaga... If you were there when he is throwing his insults on me, you will be cringing... Walang filter ang bibig e...

Paolo : I have been friends with him for years, and even I myself is surprised of how he became like this.  He was like the worst kind of human being, not committing crimes, but being this asshole... He was a 360° jerk version of the normal RJ... That's his nickname but only those privilege one has the right to call him that... Anyways, two days from now, it'll be Monday.  What are you're plans?

Maine : I am still having breakdown here, hello!!! Brain is freezing... I just need to run these thoughts to other... I just need to blurt this out or else...

Paolo : Okay! Whatever your plans will be, I will support you... But please, whatever you came up with as solutions or alternatives, discuss it with me... Don't be impulsive... Okay?

Maine : Okay... But as of the moment, I am totally freaking out... Not just because of this high and mighty asshole but the things I need to do to escape this "death bed"...

Paolo : Death bed talaga??? Grabe ka talaga sa kanya... Anyways, what are your plans for the next two days?

Maine : I have a stint on Sunday and I have an agreement that Nico and Perry will be helping me out with the machine.  Are you free then?

Paolo : Naman! I always have time with Baby Perry... Hahaha...

Maine : Yan tayo e, priority talaga si Perry e... Tapos ako iwan sa ere... Hmmmp, Ewan ko sa iyo...

Paolo : Ang sakit ko namang magsalita, beshie... Alam mo namang love kits di ba, nagkataon lang na mas love ko si Perry... Hahaha... Mas bagay ang guwapo sa maganda kesa sa maganda at maganda...

Maine : Hahaa... Siraulo... Sabagay mas maganda ka sa akin... Anyways, sila ang coach cum mekaniko ko that day kaya wag ko masyado landiin si Perry... E malandi din yun e... 

Paolo : Oo naman! I will make sure na maayos kitang maibabalik sa " fiance " mo... Hahaha...

Maine : Isa pa, tatatamaan ka na talaga sa akin! Ang lakas mo mang-inis!

Paolo : You still have two days before your "engagement" announcement my dear... Imagine, you don't have a boyfriend but you are going to be someone's fiancée! Hahaha... Hahaha...

Maine : Ewan! Samahan mo na lang akong bumili ng mga pasalubong sa mga bata sa ampunan...

Paolo : Okay, by the way, talking about the kids... How is Sam doing?

Maine : Getting worst, and I am getting afraid everyday... Unti-unti na siyang nanghihina... (Maiyak-iyak na sabi niya)..

Paolo : Wag mong ipakita sa kanya na pinanghihinaan ka ng loob kasi sa iyo siya kumukuha ng lakas... You have to stay positive...

Maine : Alam ko yun, pero ang hirap na makita siya ng ganun e... Alam mo yung feeling na gusto mo magbreakdown pero you need to smile or laugh to make him smile as well despite his pain... Ang sakit..

Paolo : Kaya mo yan, beshie... Alam ko mahal na mahal mo sila ang you have been part of their lives already for the past years...  You need to be tough and ready for whatever happens...

Maine : I know... I know... I just love them too much and they are still young to suffer that much.  There are more people who desejrve that kind of suffering but not them.  (And a lone tear was shed).

Paolo : I just want you to be strong anytime.  Be their pillar of strength... Be their anchor as they go through this.  Be prepared.

Maine : I know... Just be there...

Meanwhile...

Richard Sr. : Son, as I have told you prior to this day, two days from today, you will meet your fiancée...

Richard : And so?

Richard Sr.: You should learn to respect her... You should cooperate

Richard : Gagawin ko kung ano amg gusto ko... At wala kayong magagawa doon... I want this company wrapped around my hands rather than turn this over to some whinny female.  (Dahil gusto ko sa kamay ko mismo bumagsak ang kompanyang dahilan ng pagkawala ni Mommy, he said inwardly).

Richard Sr.: Then be cooperative and respect her then, or else...

Richard Jr. : Whatever, Dad! Whatever... And he then goes off to his room.

A/N: Sorry for the late update, sobramg busy lang namin ni baby sa school... Hopefully this chapter will rekindle the writer in me again... Hehehe... Kidding aside, I will try to update but probably need to wait for my child's summative test starting Monday... Thank you for patiently waiting guys...
