Sapo ang kanyang noo,paroo't parito siya sa loob ng banyo ng kanyang opisina. She still can believe that he is actually here,just outside that toilet door,sitting inside her office. Bigla siyang nawala sa konsentrasyon dahil lamang sa presensya nito.
She excused herself when she felt suffocated by his sudden presence.
Nagulat pa siya na may kumakatok sa pinto ng banyo na kinaroroonan niya.
"Hey,are you okay in there?" That manly voice again "you've been there for twenty one minutes already,,are you okay?" She can hear concern in his vioce.
Huminga muna siya ng malalim ng maka ilang beses bago ito sagutin. Hindi sana niya iyon gagawin pero naalala niya kung gaano ito kakulit minsan. Baka bigla na lamang siya nitong pwersahang pasukin sa loob ng banyo.
"I'm okay" sigaw niya mula sa loob,pagkatapos ay tumapat sa salamin.
"It's just him,you don't have to worry about him" bulong niya,trying to convince herself.
When she finally found the courage to face him,she open the door.
Prenteng nakaupo na ulit ito sa harap ng kanyang table,his contagious smile is on the show. If she can tell him not to smile so it won't affect her,she could have said it. But she wouldn't dare say it,he would think she is affected by his presence. That is the least she would want him to know,his ego might grow bigger than his confidence.
"Hey gorgeous,you don't have to retouch to look beautiful in front of me,you're already beautiful even without make up on" inirapan niya ito habang papalapit sa likod ng kanyang table.
"I would never do that to please you" naupo siya.
"Aww! You are still cruel,my queen" hinawakan nito ang dibdib na parang nasasaktan "that's why it took you more than twenty minutes to make yourself even more goodness! Only God knows how I would like to describe you,,"
"Shut up!" Sigaw niya sa kung ano pang sasabihin nito "tumae ako,,natae ako ng makita ang pagmumukha mo" bigla itong napangiwi pero hindi nawawala ang mga ngiti nito.
"Harsh" dinig niyang bulong nito.
"What are you really doing here,Mr.Kairosinis? As much as I know we don't have any business associated with your company" seryoso niyang tanong dito.
She wanted him out of her sight now,dahil habang tumatagal ay lalo lamang siyang natatakot. Natatakot siya sa sobrang bilis ng tibok ng kanyang puso na hindi niya mawari kung bakit iyon ganon.
It has been years ago when she last felt that strange feeling inside her heart. She had tried to not think about this man in front of her but now he's here again.
"We do now,my queen" simpleng sagot nito na may mga ngiti pa rin sa mga labi.
Naiirita siya sa mga ngiti nito,ano bang inginingiti nito? Nagmumukha itong baliw kakangiti ng walang dahilan.
"Ako ba talaga pinaglololoko mo?" Hindi niya na naitago ang pagka irita para sa binata.
"No! No of course not!" Maang na sagot nito "check it with your cousin if you want to be sure"
Good idea!
Nakairap pa rin siya dito habang dinadampot ang telepono sa gilid ng table niya at nagda-dial. Ilang ring pa ang lumipas bago iyon nasagot ng boses babae.
"Dhalia speaking,who is this?" Napabuntong hininga siya sa napakaboring na boses ng asawa ng Kuya Gustavo niya.
"Dhalia,it's Chan" narinig pa niya ang pagbuntong hininga nito.
