"Taming Xhristian Xyrel"

TXX6: Back to reality.

Xhristian's POV

"Miracle!" I shouted when I couldn't find that girl inside of my office. Tinawagan ko sya at ilang minuto lang narinig ko na ang pagbukas ng pinto ng office ko.

"Yes, Sir?" Bungad kong tanong pagpasok nya.

"Where have you been?" I plainly said.

"I'm at the cafeteria because it's my breaktime so if you'll excuse me sir, I have to go." And just like that, she's gone.

Tignan nyo ginawa ng babaeng 'yon? Mula nang pumasok 'yan dito ang dami nyang nagagawa sa'kin na hindi pa nagagawa ng iba. Saan ba sya kumukuha ng lakas ng loob?!

Isang linggo na mula nang makauwi kami galing palawan at sumpa para sa'kin ang lugar na yon. Para akong biglang naging ibang tao na hindi ko maintindihan. Ewan ko nga kung bakit nauna pa kong umuwi dun sa dalawang yon.

After that night that I almost made the biggest mistake of my life, I realized that it's all wrong. And in the same night, I dreamed of her. I dreamed of Miracle, it's not that I'm saying that I like her. I dont know. It's all strange to me. And the next day I found myself coming back home, in the place where she is. I started to act like her protective boyfriend, wanting to see her every time and veryday and it's freaking me hell out because it's totally not me! Dammit!

Isang linggo pa lang, isang linggo ko pa lang nakikilala at nakakasama si Miracle pero pakiramdam ko ang tagal tagal ko na syang kilala. Ayokong pansinin lahat nang nangyayaring 'to, pinipilit kong magbulag-bulagan sa nararamdaman ko pero unti-unti din akong tinatraydor ng sarili ko. Ayoko nang matutunan ang magmahal, hindi ko na kailanman pag-aaksayahan ng oras ang pag-ibig na yan.

"Michelle, cancel all my appointments for today and I want that woman to be here in my office in five minutes!" I said as I call her in the intercom.

"You mean, Miracle Sir?"

"Do I have another secretary na hindi ko nakikita?"

"Noted, Sir. Sorry." Less than five minutes, there she is, standing in front of me with her death glare.

"What now, Sir Xyrel?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing? I didn't finish my foods and now you we're telling me 'Nothing?'" I stand and walk towards her, at the back of her.

"Let me remind you, Ms. Miracle Hope Perez that I am your BOSS, and I can call you any time I want kahit nasaang lupalop ka man, am I correct?"

"Oo nga BOSS. Alam ko yon BOSS, pero mawalang galang na po kasi hindi pa po tapos ang breaktime ko BOSS. Meron pa 'kong kalahating oras at gutom pa 'ko!"

"So? Paki ko?" Bumalik ako sa desk ko.

"Ano ba kasing pag-uutos nyo, BOSS?" Sarcasm ang mahahalata sa boses nya. Nakita ko pa ang simple nyang paghawak sa tiyan nya. Gutom pa nga.

I stood up again and hold her wrist.

"Where are we going?"

"Somewhere you can eat." And with that, she didn't complain. Hungry like hell huh? Fifteen minutes of driving.

"You don't need to bring me into a fancy restaurant, hindi bagay sa'kin." I throw a look at her. How can she act like a simple person while the truth is she's not? Kakaiba talaga sya.

"Well, I am. Tara na." Bumaba ako ng sasakyan at hinihintay nalang ang pagbaba nya nang mga ilang segundo pa ay hindi pa sya bumababa. Kinatok ko ang bintana kaya naman binuksan na nya ang pinto.

"Ano bang inaasahan mo? Na pagbubuksan kita?" Akma nya kong susuntukin nang pinili nyang ibaba nalang yon. Ang ganda nya lalo kapag naiinis.

I opened the glass door and all eyes are on me. Oh well, I was born with that stares.
