Her Hero

Future

I am still at the verge of shock sa mga nangyari kanina sa bahay. Sabay na kami umuwi ni Xavier, hinatid naman ni Kuya si Meera.

All through out the ride hanggang makapasok ako sa unit ko tahimik lang kami ni Xavier.

Hinanda ko na lang ang mga gamit ko para bukas sa vloging ko kasama ng team bago humiga.

I was recalling what happened earlier ng mag beep ang cp ko.

Hero:
Hey...you still up?

Sinong Hero to?

I replied:
Sorry, u myt got the wrong no.

Sent.

Hero:
No, Princess. It's me. Von Xavier O. Ramirez.
Did u delete my no?

Nagtaka ko bakit Hero nakalagay sa cp ko at pano nasave yung name nya. Naalala ko hindi ko pala naituloy na baguhin yung name nya sa contacts ko dahil tumawag noon si Meera. I changed his name: Herodes.

Me:
Iba kc nk register n name (delete. delete. delete)
Bakit b?

Herodes:

Me:

Herodes:

Herodes:

Me:

Herodes:

I just put my cp on my chest. I'd be heading the new department of their architectural firm. It focuses on the extra ordinary designs. According to them, my only job is to review the designs of the architects and parallel them to the request of the customer. Make some suggestions and approve the revised and final layout. Xymon can't handle the firm alone because he's busy on their expansion. And obviously, my "savior" is not inclined in this kind of job description. When will he be ready for this? It is their company. The future of their family depends on this. Dalawa lang silang anak ng may ari ng kumpanya and they cant just trust it to anyone with a degree and experience. They must know the person well to handle this- that's why they seek my parents' help on this.

I looked at my bedside table where my planner is on. This is a big break for me. Pulling this off could help me make a name of my own. But it scares me more than my application in SA.

Nahihilo na ko sa dami ng iniisip ko. I felt tired.

Nagising ako sa liglig sa balikat ko. It was Meera.
"You must be really whipped last night. Your alarm has snoozed three times pero hindi ka pa magising. I cooked breakfast."

"What time is it?" I can't open my eyes yet. Mahapdi pa mata ko. Hindi ko na maalala what was the last thought I had in mind last night. I feel like I had been to first day of PE class.

"Don't worry. It's still early. 6:15. You still have plenty of time to prepare. I've seen you pack your things already." Sagot nya habang nasa kusina.

I grabbed my towel and went in the bathroom to do my morning routine.

I changed clothes and went out to the dining. We have black coffee, eggs Benedict, bacon, melon and strawberries.

I sat and started eating. Wala pa rin akong energy.

"What is it?" Tanong ni Meera habang ngumunguya.

"Nothing..." matamlay kong sagot.

"We don't keep things from each other."

"Fine. How long have you known about it?"

Uminom muna sya ng orange juice bago sumagot.

"Kahapon lang din before they let you in."

I sighed.

"What's your next question?"

I looked at her and I'm not surprised that she can sense I have plenty of questions.

"Fangirl ka ni Xavier, pero you ended up with Kuya. Don't get me wrong. I like you for him. You know that. It just confuse me."

"Xavier is charming. He's cool and famous. Hanging out with him would make our Senior High School more exciting and fun. Lalo na for you. Stiff.
Saka, I am just a big fan. Sinong hindi hahanga sa galing nya s court?"

I smiled. "Bully."

For the first time in quite a while. Hindi ko alam kung paano ako kikilos at paano haharapin ang araw na ito. Wala akong plano. Wala akong schedule. Thanks to my bestfriend for coming over today. She even drove me to work.

I look at the tall building in front of me, let out a deep sigh, squared my shoulders, and step towards the entrance.
