Breaking free

Surprise revelation...and another surprise

At as promised...nag early out sa office nina Tiffany.

Fast forward: sa loob ng isang Korean resto. Pag mamay-ari eto ni Penelope Sung Kwon-Santillan (from my other story: Moving on is not easy)

Penelope: Tiffany! What brought you here...?

Tiffany: bakit? Masama bang kumain dito? Kasi kung ayaw mo, kina AJ na lang ako kakain.

Penelope: uy, joke lang. Eto naman di na mabiro.

Tiffany: doon na lang kami sa function room.

Penelope: sige. Ayos na naman yun. Same group meal ba?

Tiffany: of course dear. At pa add na rin ng buckets. Ok ba yun, boys?

Boys: ok yun, ma'am.

Tiffany: ok na ba yung videoke?

Penelope: oo, bumili kami ng brand new. So paano, enjoy yourselves with the appetizers and of course, the videoke.

Tiffany: thanks, Pen.

While waiting sa orders, kanya kanyang business ang lahat. May nag ce-cellphone, may kumakanta (kahit sintunado), nagku-kuwentuhan, atbp.

Paulina: so, Tiffy. Ano nga pala yung sasabihin mo?

Tiffy: mamaya na (sabay sulyap kay Zachary).

Wendy: na-excite naman ako.

Drake: *ehem* nakita ko yun, Tiffy.

Tiffany: wala kang nakita, Drake.

Drake: may radar akech...NAPAKA LAKAS NA RADAR.

Chard: bunganga mo, ateng.

Drake(pabulong): ah basta...malakas ang sensory vibes at smelling sensors ko.

Penelope: excuse me...! Eto na ang orders nyo. Sige paki ayos na lang sa mga mesa.

Tiffany: thanks, Pen. Tawagin na lang kita if may kailangan pa kami.

Penelope: ok. Enjoy your meal.

Habang kumakain, tahimik ang lahat. Pero maya-maya, nabilaukan si Tiffany.

Zachary: ako na...Uy...Tiffany, ok ka lang?

Nagulat ang lahat, maski si Sir Abraham. Nung nahimas-masan na si Tiffany, bigla syang nag explain.

Tiffany(kasama si Zachary): well, sir Abry (Abraham), guys. I have a revelation to make. Si Zachary, di ko sya first time na makilala sa office. Well, in fact...we've known each other since High School, along with Paulina. At naging kami back then, but we broke up in College. Pero bago kami natapos ng High School, nag-iwan sya ng souvenir sa akin. At yun ay si Liam Caiden. Yes, you heard it right...anak namin si Liam.

Kaya naman, nung first day nya sa office, naging ilag ako sa kanya. Kasi ayoko na may maka-alam ng past namin, bukod kay Pawee. Sana mapatawad nyo po ako, Sir Abry kung ngayon ko lang ito nasabi.

Sir Abraham: ano ka ba, Tiffy? Wala lang yun. I'm glad to know that he's Liam's dad. And mukhang ok na naman kayo as co-parents to Liam.

Wilson: kaya pala, kabado etong si Archy tuwing pupunta kay ma'am Tiffy.

Xander: pre, naka-jackpot ka kay ma'am.

Gladys: napaka-beautiful nyong tignan, ma'am Tiffy at Archy.

Sir Abraham: kaya naman...may surprise ako sa inyong lahat, especially kay Archy.

Zachary: ano po yun, sir?

Sir Abraham: everyone, listen. Starting tomorrow, Zachary will be promoted as an assistant supervisor. So, Archy, tomorrow, be prepared for your orientation with me. And I'll be moving Robin and Frances to Drake's group. And pagkatapos kong i-orient si Archy, you my boy, will be reporting directly to Tiffany. Understand?

Zachary: yes sir.

Sir Abraham: how about you, Tiffy? Any questions?

Tiffany: ah...wala na po. Okay na po.

Sir Abraham: so, let's continue this celebration.

At yun nga...naging masaya ang revelation nina Tiffany at Zachary. At may bonus pa...naging boss pa si Zachary. Hoping na maging maganda itong takbo ng kanilang pagsasama sa trabaho.
