Ika - Anim na Kabanata

"ZURIE ZEINNE X. ZARMIÑO" basa ng maestro sa pangalan nyang nasa front cover ng ipinasang proyekto.

"You got all the z's...."dagdag nitong komento.

"Actually Sir,my late parents changed the first letter of my name to Z...before,it was spelled as XURIE XEINNE X. ZARMIÑO they cant bear my initials to be XXX or being called triple X Zarmiño...kung hindi nila ginawa yun,bullies & dirty-minded persons will always call me miss triple X...,how about you Sir..? Haven't you got any regrets with your name?" aniya.

"My name? Alam mo ng name ko...? Who told you?!"

"Just like you SIR ANTONIO MAGSALPOC A ,I have my own ways..." alam ng kausap na nasa may parteng dibdib nito nakatutok ang mga mata nya.

Ayun,yung pagkalaki-laking I.D pala,nakaladlad sa babae.

"May nakakatawa ba sa pangalan ko? O maski yung tinatanong mo na kung wala ba akong regrets in my name...!?" tanong naman nito sa kanya.

"Uhm...,not kinda serious Sir A...it just that,kung uulit-ulitin bawat pantig ng pangalan mo...,hindi yun nalalayo sa triple X meaning....Mag sal-sal,poc-poc A-A...how was that for your ears..?" saad nya.

"That's why Im not using MAGSALPOC in full...,Mr. Antonio M. A is enough...now,if you have nothing to say you can go..."

"How about my documents,Sir?"

Awtomatikong kumunot ang makapal nitong kilay.

"Is graduation done yet,Ms. Zarmiño?"

"I know not yet,Sir...gusto ko lang manigurado..."

"We'll talk about it when the graduation is done,get it...!" sabi nitong walang kangiti-ngiti. Yun lang at umalis na nga siya.

Pero ilang sandali pa lang ay may pumalit na sa babae.

Si Ms. Mydeth Castillo.

"Hi,Mr. A! can I disturb you for a while..."ani nito.

"Yeah,sure come in...,"sabi nitong hindi man lang tumitingin sa kausap.

"I brought some snacks here,..mind to join me..." alok ng babae sabay ayos sa bakanteng espasyo ng lamesa nya.

Kaya napilitan na syang itigil ang ginagawa.

"Here..." sabi ng babae sabay ayos sa tapat nya ng pagkaing nasa styrofor at isang deboteng inumin.

"Ms. Castillo,I am straight-to-the-point kind of person you know,..what's this efforts for? I'm considering that you're just being kind...& thank you for that..."pahayag nito habang straight na nakatingin sa mga mata ng babae.

"I know...,I'll be direct to my point also Mr. Antonio A...,gusto kita! Infact,I never wanted any man before like the way how I wanted you right now...!"

"Really.." sabay kuha sa inumin at binuksan ito sabay inom. Ilang saglit pa'y muli itong humarap sa computer nya at may kinalikot na file sabay print.

"Here!" ani nito,sabay bigay sa babae noon.

"What's this for..."

"Read it! That's my standards for women who wants to become my girlfriend...,para hindi mo na ako tatanungin...if you have them all then automatically I'm your fiancee...,pero kung meron dyan na wala ka,Im sorry but let's just stay as friends..."
