Deanna.
I can't say no to the invite of Ms. Castro so napa-oo na lang ako. Baka kasi magbago pa isip nya at hindi pirmahan ang contract. As soon as she signed it, eeskapo na ako.
Sabagay, baka nagyaya lang dahil ako yung nasa office nya. Isang drink lang naman siguro dahil dala ko yung kotse. I can't drink and drive. A basta, bahala na.
Nag compose ako agad ng text message kay Jema. Mas mabilis kasi kung text lang.
Bakit hindi mo na lang tawagan?
I told her that we got the deal. She didn't reply, baka busy na sa kusina. Pag ganitong oras, nagluluto na sya ng dinner. Ano kaya ang ulam namin?
After taking all my things, I went to the parking area. Sumakay na muna ako sa car bago nag text uli kay Jema. I informed her that I'm having a drink with the clients.
We're ata ginamit mo, hindi I'm.
Parehas na rin yun. Whether it's a singular or plural.
May humintong car sa tapat ko. The window rolled down at nakita ko si Julia, sumenyas na sundan ko sila. I then followed the car of Ms. Castro on the way out.
We went to a private bar somewhere in Makati. Mga 7pm na rin kami nakarating doon.
Gutom na ako. Ah, dinner time na pala sa bahay. I sent another text to Jema. I told her to go ahead sa dinner at huwag na ako hintayin kumain.
But she still hasn't replied sa mga texts ko. Bakit kaya? Sobrang busy ba nya para hindi makita mga messages ko? Dami nyang ginagawa kaya hindi makareply sa texts ko? O baka tulog?
Tawagan mo kasi para malaman mo.
I was about to call her but then Ms. Castro asked me what I want to drink.
Napakamot ako ng ulo. Ano nga ba ang order ko?
"I'll have a beer, please." sagot ko sa kanya.
"I'll have a beer too, Julia. Just order what you want." she told her assistant.
Pumunta sa bar counter si Julia kaya naiwan kaming dalawa sa table. Hindi naman ako makapagsalita, there's something wrong with my tongue yata.
"Hey, Deanna, just chill. Why you look so tense?" tanong ni Ms. Castro.
"I'm not, Ms. Castro." sagot ko sabay ngiti sa kanya.
"We're out of the office now, Deanna. Just call me Amber or Am, for short." she said while giving me her sweetest smile.
"Okay, if you say so, Amber. Or Am." I replied while smiling.
Ampotek, am na am talaga, Wong?
"See, you look gorgeous when you smile. Ang cute ng dimples mo, lumalabas." sabi pa nya.
Nakahinga naman ako ng maluwag. Bakit ba ako nate-tense sa harap nya? It's a different feeling, alam nyo yun.
Hindi, hindi namin alam. Wag mo kami isali dyan.
Naalala ko bigla yung purpose kung bakit ako sumama dito kaya hindi na ako nagpa tumpik tumpik pa na tanungin sya.
"Ms. Castro, opppss, Amber, can we sign the contract now? If you don't mind." I said while getting the papers from my bag.
"May lakad ka ba at nagmamadali ka, Deanna?" she asked seriously.
Natigilan naman ako sa sinabi nya. I can't tell her that I want to go home na. Nailapag ko na lang sa table yung mga papers.
Then she suddenly laughed.
