A taste of 20's (COMPLETED)

Chapter 1

IVI POV

I'm doing my redo design  na ginagawa ko dahil ipapakita ko ulit ito sa cliente ko bukas. I smile  and greet my niece and nephew when they run through inside my room.

"Tita " sabay sigaw ng dalawa, I spread my arm to hug them both I lifted my head and cracked a smile when my sister came in with a touch smile on her lips. 

" Ang ganda ng timing mo te" pilosopong saad ko habang niyayakap ang kambal, she glance my table with full of A3 paper, pencil, blue print and colored paper. She look at me on a sorry way, i shrugged at pinakawalan na ang dalawa. 

"Don't messed up everything" paalala ko sa dalawa bago ibalik ang attention sa kapatid ko. Tumayo ako and give me her a second hug 

"I miss you" on my soft voice. 

"I miss you more, hindi ka pumonta sa  anniversary namin ng kuya mo" may pagtatampo nitong sabi. I stretch my arm towards my table 

"My plate is full, project due is coming, i have also presentation coming and I'm also preparing for renovation project from one of my client. Now tell me where I insert your anniversary?" Guilt latched on my sister's face. I sigh and grab her close to hug her again, she run her hand through my hair that gives warmth and comfort within me. 

" I'm sorry ate, but I promise babawi ako after all this project " I assured her 

" I understand, wag mo lang masyadong papagurin ang sarili mo" ngumiti ako na may kasunod na tango "I'm not ate, ayaw ko pumangit" she shook her head and cracked a soft laugh 

"By the way where's Alleah the youngest" tanong ko sa kanya.

"With her dad, close sila eh, kunin ko lang muna para makarga mo" tumango ako at hinayaan ang dalawang pamangkin na guluhin ang kama. Since hindi naman ako maka fucos dahil sa ingay ng dalawa bumaba na lang ako kasama ang dalawa para makapag bonding naman ako sa kanila kahit sandali. 

I'm holding the blue print, the white print of the design habang may hawak na kape sa kabilang kamay at nakasabit ang purse sa kabilang balikat ko. Woman hands are really multitasker. Nagmamadali na akong umakyat sa third floor ng skwelahan i'm on my halfway nang mag bell bigla  it's student's break time  kaya mas lalo akong natagalan.

"Tang-ina naman" malutong na mura ko ng mawalang ako ng balanse when someone bumped my arm my coffee spill mabuti na lan talaga at hindi dumerekta sa hawak ko na blue print but another bumped happened and slip my other foot that lost my balance 

"Oh please! help" I gasp with a soft voice, I pursed my lips into thinned line when someone caught my waist and pull my body. It was a surreal thing to happened, naramdaman ko na lang na biglang bumagal ang nangyayari. Nabalik lang ako sa wisyo when the man spoke

"Are you alright miss?" tanong nito, napansin ko ang suot nitong ID, he's a student from this university. 

" Thank you" pasasalamat ko and check the blue print I'm glad na hindi ito nagusot o nabasa o nasira. 

"Next time tumitingin ka sa dinadaanan mo madali ka panaman matumba" matabang nitong sabi, hindi na ako nakasagot sa kanya dahil deretso na itong umakyat pababa. 

"Antipatiko, payat daw?" sabay tingin sa sariling katawan "I'm fit, I'm not payat" bulong ko.

I shook my head because I feel annoyed and irritated on that boy, I trail towards the office. Kumatok muna ako bago buksan ang pinto. Mrs. Velasquez face lightened when she saw me and left her paper to greet me with a hug and smile. 

"I'm sorry I'm late" hinging paumanhin ko, she checked her watch "It's fine, please have a sit alam ko napagud ka" hindi na ako tumanggi at nilapag lahat ng dala sa bakanteng mesa at umopo.
