"I think , uulan" Ram said while looking at the window habang hawak hawak yung iced coffee niya "Ms. Eunice, what do you think?"

Then pumunta si Eunice sa tabi niya "parang uulan nga Mr. Ram"

"We still have 2 hrs bago ang uwian, I think we can wrap things up before then para makauwi tayo ng maaga?"

"Okay" Eunice said and agad siyang nagbigay ng instructions sa amin ng mga dapat tapusin ngayong araw


Ms. Eunice and Mr. Ram? They sure know how to address each other during working hours. Pero kapag break time, switch agad sila sa mahal. Very professional and cute at the same time.



Natapos kami around 4:30PM. 30 minutes before uwian and tama nga si Ram, ito, umulan na nga. Hindi lang basta pati ulan, parang bagyo, kulang na lang mabasag yung windows namin dito

I suddenly received a text from Aibee


From: Aibee
Message:
Ella, Dito na muna ako magstay sa hospital tonight. Sobrang baha na dito sa area
and my senior advised na magstay na lang muna dito. Please tell me kung makakauwi ka
Ingat ka.


I sighed and everyone looked at me


"May problema ba Ella?" Eunice asked

"Hindi daw makakauwi friend ko since sobrang baha na daw"

"Eh how about you?" she asked

"I think I can still go home"

Eunice just nodded


They offered again na ihatid kami ni Miguel but both of us declined. Medyo nakakahiya diba? Saka baka masanay kami ni Migs ng ganito. Wala ng chance para kina Ram and Eunice na hindi kami ihatid papauwi


"Ingat kayong dalawa paguwi" Ram asked

"Yes" I replied "don't worry about us"

"Okay, just leave a message na lang sa groupchat if nasa bahay na kayo"

"Okay" I replied while nodding


Me and Migs are standing right now in front of the office and waiting for taxi. Hindi kami pareho makabook sa Grab

"I'll wait for you na makasakay bago ako" he said

"Ay no need. Umuna kana" I smiled 

"Are you sure?"

"Yes" I replied


It has been 30 minutes and wala pa rin kaming makuhang vacant taxi. Tumawag na rin sa akin si Aibee and sinabi ko na nagaabang pa rin ako ng masasakyan pauwi. Hindi naman ako pwede magstay dito sa office since alam ko, 4 hrs lang pwede matulog sa sleeping quarters

Hindi ako magiging productive sa 4 hours na tulog

And besides, I don't have necessities, sa arte kong ito, hindi ako nakakatulog ng hindi nakakaligo


Biglang may vacant taxi and pinara yun ni Miguel 

"Saan address mo?"
