We Got Married

CHAPTER SEVEN

CHAPTER SEVEN

After nung nangyari samin nung Wednesday, Friday na ulit ako pumasok. Umabsent kami ni Xander kahapon. Ako dahil wala ko sa mood, siya ewan ko lang kung bakit.

Parang tanga lang dahil absent nga kami parehas hindi naman kami nagpansinan. Buong araw kaming walang imikan sa bahay. Ang stupid nung naging set-up namin.

Hindi naman pwedeng wag magtrabaho diba. Although I said I quit he made it clear this morning na hindi nya tinanggap yung resignation ko.

I strut my way to my table with my head held high. Eh ano kung tinuhod ko sa maselang parte yung boss ko, di naman nila alam yung totoong nangyari eh. And the bastard deserves it too.

Pagdating ko sa table ko may nakita kong folder. Pagbukas ko it says Palawan. Yes!! Binigay na din yung Palawan Project sakin. Buti sinave ko yung designs ko dito.

Sa kalagitnaan ng pagtatrabaho ko, biglang may dumating na delivery man.

“Kayo po ba si Ms. Andrea Roxas?” tanong nito sakin.

“Yes, why?”

Bigla siyang may inabot na bouquet ng white roses. Gahd ang ganda!!

“May nagpapabigay po Mam, papirma na lang po dito” sabay abot ng clipboard nya.

Pinirmahan ko ito’t nirecieve yung mga bulaklak. Kanino naman kaya galing toh?

Tiningnan ko yung card. It says ‘I’m Sorry’.

Huh?? Si Xander kaya ang nagbigay sakin nito?? I was shocked that the thought made me glad.

Biglang nag-ring yung phone ko, si Aries.

“Hello?”

“Hi, did you get the flowers?” tanong nito.

Oh, so hindi si Xander ang nagpadala. I got disappointed but I don’t want to make Aries feel that I under-appreciate his efforts.

“Yeah. Um... Kadarating lang. Ganda nga eh. Thank you” sabi ko.

“So, you wanna go out for lunch or something?” yaya nya.

Date, again?? Um... Frankly, I’m not in the mood.

“Andami ko kasing trabaho eh, so I don’t think...” I trailed off.

“I get it. Ayaw mo makipag-lunch. It’s okay Andy, maybe next time” then he shut down his phone.

It’s so weird that I don’t feel horrible na hindi ko pinagbigyan si Aries. Is it because I’m becoming Xander-centric nowadays?? Hindi naman ata posible yun.

Lunch came at niyaya ako nina Snow na sumabay sa kanila. Guess I have no choice but to agree.

Pagdating namin sa table, they were all staring at me.

“Is there dirt in my face?” sabi ko habang ina-unwrap yung sandwich ko.

“Um... Bakit kayo nag-away ni Sir Alex nung isang araw?” tanong ni Kara.

Sabi na eh, itatanong nila yan.
