Against All Odds (Complete)

Chapter 13

His POV

Months have passed so fast. It's reaching the Christmas season.

The employees are bit excited to have their Christmas bonuses.

While my dear secretary is excited to have her one week leave.

After so many months i almost get closer and closer to her. I even smile without me even knowing. I even greeted my employees in the morning and the most new to me is.......

"Anu gusto mong ulam, ako na bibili"

"No let me"

"Ok ikaw bahala"

Grabeh mag iisang buwan na si sir na kumakain dito sa cafeteria...

Ang swerte naman ni Reign ang bait ni sir sa kanya...

Mas lalo tuloy akong naiinlove kay sir hihihi.....

Sila na kaya?....

Ewan baka, siguro?...

That was some of their words mumbling everytime we eat at the cafeteria.

Reign taught me na mas convenient daw pag dun na ako kakain. Kaya naman sinama ko na rin siya. The first day we ate here people were so amused seeing me and Reign together buying our lunch.

That's something very new to me.
Kinukulit niya pa rin ako tungkol sa paggigirlfriend o pag aasawa ko. Tumatanda na daw ako.

Like i really care, i'm happy in my life now and being with her.

"Here yah go. Let's eat"

"Teka andami naman niyan mauubos mo yan?"

"Natin okay natin. Tayo ang kakain niyan."

"Eh? Ang dami"

"Sabi mo nga mas mabuti na yung busog kesa gutom na mamatay"

Panggagaya ko sa kanyang sinabi last time na sinaway ko siya sa dami ng kinakain niya.

"Okay. Game"

She eats with gusto and i really enjoy watching her. Napasubo na rin ako dahil nadala ako sa paggiging magana niya.....

After lunch ay umattend kami ng meeting with one of my clients outside.
Syempre with my secretary.

The meeting went well and i have close the deal also with the help of Reign and her convincing words kaya naakit namin ang kliyenteng iyon.

"You're really my lucky charm"

"Naks naman. Hindi rin noh, ikaw din yun ang galing at ang ganda naman kasi ng proposal mo eh"

"But really you're a big help. So do you want anything?"

Napatingin pa siya sa menu at napatingin sakin.

"Seryuso ka ba dyan, lilibre mo ko?".

Paniniguro pa niya.

"Of course, now choose"

"Hmm, carbonara tsaka iced tea"

"Okay"

I call the waiter and order for the both of us.

"Nga pala next week ah mag Christmas leave ako. Di ka na pwedeng humindi dahil matagal kanang umoo"

"I know of course you'll have your christmas leave next week"

Napa yes naman siya at kumain ng magana.

Natapos kami ng maaga at bumalik rin sa office para kunin ang ilang gamit namin na naiwan doon.

But i never expected to have someone waiting me there.

She shout out loud and it gets my attention...

"Honey!!!!"

Sabay yakap niya ng mahigpit sakin at hinalik halikan pa ako sa mukha.

"Baby"

Yumakap na rin ako sa kanya. Ilang months na ba nung huling makita kami?
7 months i guess...

"I missed you so much"

Sabay kiss pa nito sa pisnge kung saan napuno na naman ng lipstick niyang pulang pula.

"I missed you too, baby"

Nakangiti ko ring ganti sa kanya. Pero bigla ko naman naalalang may kasama pala kami iba ng tumikhim ito. Tinignan ko si Reign na nakapoker face na ngayon.

"Ahm, sir mauna na po ako, good bye"

Mahinahon niya pang paalam sa akin habang nakayakap sa bewang ko itong bagong dating.

"Okay see you next week Reign. Merry Chritmas, take care and enjoy your vacation"

Nakangiti ko pa ring paalam sa kanya.

"I will sir. Same to you advance Merry Christmas"

Then pumihit na siya patalikod at sumakay dun sa elevator.

Ako naman ay iginiya itong babaeng wagas kong makakapit sakin sa office ko.

"So how's my baby?"

"I'm really fine honey. Is that your new secretary?"

"Ah yeah she is. So how's mom and dad?"

"As usual feeling mga bagets pa rin. Nakakaumay yung kasweetan nila honey. This Christmas don't forget you will celebrate it with us"

Paniniyak pa ni Bree sakin. She's my younger and only sister.

"Of course i will. So how's your last fashion show?"

Pangangamusta ko pa sa kanya.

"It's a blast, i have met many clients and other famous designer and actresses"

"I know you will have it"

"But you're not there, madaya ka. Everytime yayain kitang manuod lagi kang nagrarason na busy ka sa company"

Sabay tampal niya sa balikat ko. While she's sitting comfortably on my lap. We're really this close and she's always be my baby girl.

"It's really true, i've been busy this past few months. Closing big clients and making dad's company still be on top. And i did it"

Pagmamalaki ko pa sa kanya.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever my dear brother"

Sabay paikot niya sa eyeballs niya. Tumayo na ito at nag ikot ikot ng paningin sa loob ng opisina ko.

"Still the boring room like my big brother. Your new secretary is pretty. How long have she been working here"

Pang uusisa niya pa. Alam ko na saan papunta tung topic na to eh.

"Hmm 6 months, i know what you're thinking it's a no, i'm not into her and she's not even into me. She said that right infront of my very eyes."

Nanlaki naman ang mata niya sa sinabi ko. Totoo naman na hindi ako gusto ni Reign, crush but not more than that she is still into social status thing.

"Oh my, really? I like her already. Poor you my dear brother. You will not experience to have a woman beside you."

Sabay ngisi niya.

"I know right. I knew it all along. No one will like me or even want me."

Bigla naman siyang tumingin sakin ng seryuso just like how my mom look at me.

"Sorry i didn't mean it kuya. You'll find your girl. But if you will not have i am here. I will be your forever baby"

Sabay kiss at yakap niya sakin.

"Of course, you'll always be my baby"

Pagkatapos ng kamustahan portion ay inaya na niya akong magdinner sa isang fine dining restau.

We still chitchat until we arrive at my penthouse.

I am happy to see my younger sister here with me. But before i doze off to sleep. I texted Reign saying good night.

She didn't reply maybe she's already asleep.
