Maaga akong umalis para pumasok sa office. Ewan ko ba. Naisipan ko lang. Ang aga ko kasi nagising at hindi na ako makatulog. Dati rati naman ay on time ako nagigising. Tapos kung pumasok ako sa office ay hindi late pero hindi rin sobrang aga. Pero ngayon? Jusmiyo! 9:00 AM pa ang shift ko pero 6:00 AM pa lang ay nandito na ako.
I received a message from Matt that simply says, “We'll see a doctor at 3:00 PM. I love you.”
Of course, it made me smile.
Agad akong sumakay sa elevator para pumunta sa 30th floor kung nasaan ang mga opisina namin. Masyado kang maaga, Martina. Naunahan mo pa yata ang security guards and janitors eh. I thought as I got out of the lift.
“Martina... why are you here so early?” tanong ng papalapit na si Tito Daniel.
“Hi, tito,” I kiss his cheek when he landed in front of me. “Ah, wala po. Aga ko lang nagising kaya ito.... How's Diane? Was she still on bed?” I asked.
“Yeah, alam mo naman 'yung batang iyon... buzzer beater kung pumasok,” we laugh at the thought. “Sige, I'll go ahead. I have to prepare for a bunch of important meetings soon. Have a great day,” Tito Daniel waved goodbye and go.
I sighed.
“Magiging ganoon ba ako ka-busy 'pag tinanggap ko 'yung offer ni dad?” I murmured to myself.
Naglalakad ako papuntang office ko nang makaramdam ako ng hilo. Agad akong napakapit sa doorknob ng office ni Diane. Shocks. Puwede bang mamaya na ako matumba? Papasukin naman muna sana ako sa office ko at ayaw kong humiga rito sa hallway. Jusko! I tried to walk once again and thank goodness, I made it.
“A–Ally?” I called her on phone as I sat back on the couch.
“Yes, Miss Martina? Oh, are you in the office already? I'm sorry. I'm on my wa—”
“No, Ally. It's okay.” I close my eyes. “Ah... do I have any appointments for today?” I asked.
“Actually, you have three meetings this morning and one after lunch. Is there any problem, Miss Martina?” said Ally.
“Can you reset them all? I think, I need to re— ug!” I swiftly run towards the bathroom while covering my mouth. “Bwak!”
“Ma'am?! Are you okay?” sigaw niya mula sa kabilang linya.
Malayo 'yung phone ko sa tenga ko dahil nakahawak ako sa toilet pero rinig ko ang pag-aalala niya.
“Ah....” I put my phone against my ear as I sit back on the floor of the bathroom. “Yes, I am fine, Ally. Thank you.”
“Okay, ma'am. I'll just reset your meetings. I will also inform Miss Iris about what ha—”
“No, it's okay. I'm fine, Ally. Thanks.” I ended the call.
“Oh,” I gasp before I stood up to wash my face. “Damn! I look like a white lady,” I told myself when I face the mirror and saw myself looking pale.
I went out of the bathroom and my vision filled with blurriness as I felt myself passing out.
Matthew's POV
I woke up early and I rapidly grab my phone. I reminded Martina about her checkup. She seems so peaky these days.
It's 9:00 AM and I am preparing to go to the company. I'm on my way but decided to go and see Martina on her condo first when my phone rang.
“Yes, Jacob?”
“Oh, Matty!” He sounded terrified. What happened?
“What is it, Jacob?”
