Mananatili bang
Langit lupa ang pagitan
Nating dalawa
Wala na ba akong pag-asa?
Na muli kang mahagkan
Parang araw at buwan
Kahit na isang saglit man lamang

Dalawang linggo na ang nakalipas ng marinig ko ang mga salitang iyon kay Sir Tigre. Hindi ko talaga mabanggit ang pangalan niya kasi parang allergy sa dila eh, alam niyo yun. Ambot nalang! Dalawang linggo na rin na hindi nagkakrus ang landas namin kasi todo efffort talaga ako para maiwasan siya. Baka madagdagan na naman ang pagkakamali ko sa kanya, ediwow quotang quota na ako. May award na ako sa pagtatapos ng taon kung sakali "The Most Clumsy and Stupid Employee" haynaku
6AM palang pero nandito na ako sa office. Marami rami na rin ang pendings and to-do's ko since Audit Season ngayon at dapat double time kami kasi napakaraming kliyente ang pumipila sa kompanyang eto. Busyng-busy ako sa pagtatype ng datas sa computer ko while nakikinig ng music sa Spotify ng biglang bumukas ang pinto ng office
🎶Hey
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful angel
Love your imperfections, every angle
Tomorrow comes and goes before you know
So I just had to let you know 🎶

Parang nagslowmo ata ang paligid habang papasok ang isang anghel. Parang may pahangin effect pa yata ng inayos niya ang kanyang basang buhok at tuloy tuloy na humahakbang papalapit sa aking cubicle. Shet na malagket, ang gwapo ata ng mokong nato ngayon, SYEMPRE NGAYON LANG 6:15AM ONLY. Naramdaman ko nalang na may tumulo sa aking ibaba ...
... ng labi, syempre. Laway muna bago kung ano-ano dyan. Agad naman bumalik ang kaluluwa ko ng mapansin kong pinukolan niya ako ng matalim na tingin.
"Are you gonna stare me the whole day and make me pay you for that?" sabi niya.
"H-huh?" patay na, nahuli yata ako. Failed ang iwas mode ko ngayon ah. Tsk
"Do your work now!" bulyaw niya.
Agad naman akong yumuko at umiling nalang sa inasal ko kanina. Bushet di man lang ako nakapagshield dun ah. Bahala na, erase bad vibes. Laban Dane, laban!
Ilang sandali lamang at tinawag niya ako sa intercom. Tumungo naman ako agad agad sa opisina ni Sir Tigre.
"What is it, sir?"
"Black coffee." sabi niya. Nagtaka naman ako, mukha ba akong tindera ng kape dito? Ang ganda ko kaya sa suot ko ngayon para mapagkamalang nagbebenta ng kape.

"Po?"
"I said give me a black coffee, is it hard to understand miss?" tanong niya.
"Oh okay, in a minute sir" agad naman akong tumalikod kasi bingo na ako sa araw nato eh. Bushak
Habang tinitimpla ko ang kape ni mayor, ang sarap nga lagyan ng asin instead na asukal eh. Di ko naman alam na all around pala ang empleyado dito, accountant turned to tagatimpla ng kape, ediwow. Binilisan ka nalang ang kilos ko baka mabulyawan naman ako ng tigreng yun at malapa. Wag po sana, birhen pa po ako char hahaha
"Your coffee sir" sabay lapag ng kape sa lamesa niya at tumango naman siya. Aalis na sana ako ng tawagin niya ang pansin ko. Oh no! Dejavu ba ito? Haaay
"We'll meet one of our clients that you are handling during lunch later. We'll discuss some important matters regarding their financial statements." sabi niya. Kinabahan ako dun ah akala ko insulto na naman.
"Got it, sir. Thank you" sabi ko at umalis na sa opisina niya.
Edrake's POV
It's been two weeks since I've encountered this skinny girl. She seems so ignorant about things but I'm quite impressed by her works even though she's a newbie here. My dad told me to keep an eye on her since he saw a potential on her, well, I don't mind that. It is my job to keep an eye on everyone not just on her. And by the way her coffee is good, I'm convinced.
My dad sent me here in the Philippines to manage this company. He told that if I will do good, he will give me our company in Germany which means I can go back finally to where I belong. Actually I am becoming impatient about this whole thing, it's been a year since I've lived in this totally strange country and couldn't even fully understand their language. Damn, I'm doing my bestest efforts but Dad seems to neglect his promise to me. Maybe my good sister has something to do with this. Yes, I have a sister, a monster sister. We're not actually enemies but close to that one. She's like an authoritative type of sister and I can't handle it sometimes because I don't like being controlled by anyone. It's better to engage yourself with something you actually love than being instructed with something you don't. I guess that how's life has taught me so far.
Lunch came and I called Miss Enriquez to finalize the papers needed and prepare herself for the appointment. As soon as I pass by her cubicle, she immediately follow me amd walked behind me. The appointment will be on the ground floor of the building since a café is situated there. We've arrived at the exact time since Mr. Santos immediately appeared on the front door. Miss Enriquez is quite and looking nervous. I understand because it is her first time to do this. We already settled ourselves and I saw Mr. Santos glancing on Miss Enriquez' lap, damn that short skirt she's wearing. I can feel the tension in my jaw.
"Stop!" I shouted.
They all looked at me especially this pervert old man. I immediately grabbed the pillow from the couch and put it on Miss Enriquez' lap. She's surprised by my gesture, also me. Well, I could offer help to anyone if needed.
"We're here for the appointment, not on glancing someone else's lap. Right, Mr. Santos?"
He nodded in response. I sighed. Damn, I should set a rule to my company: NO SHORT SKIRTS.
