Momentary Bliss

32nd

Weeks passed by, the only thing new is that tutok na tutok kami sa trabaho. Leah, Micah, Eli, Tan and I haven't got the chance to go out dahil sa pagiging busy namin.

In Micah's case, she's staying with us but she also works in another company. She's free to live here kaya no worries naman.

"Le." I called her.
"Hm?" She asked not looking at me cause she's busy with doing her work.
"I want to eat lunch, wanna come with me?" I asked.
"Still have work eh. Ang dami pa. Can you buy for me instead?" She asked and looked at me while faintly smiling.
"Sure." I said.

Ang dami ko rin na gawain pero I can't let let myself starve! Hindi din ako kumain ng breakfast since we were on a hurry kaninang umaga.

Pumasok na ako sa loob ng karinderya at pumili ng bibilhin.
"2 order po nito and 2 cups of rice din po." I said while pointing at the food I want. Nag order nalang din ako ng parehas para kay Leah.
After getting my order ay agad na akong bumalik sa company para makakain habang nagtatrabaho. Nothing new since thats what I was doing these past few weeks.

"Here you go." I said at nilapag na sa table ni Leah ang pagkain niya.
"Thanks, Viv. Babawi ako sayo." She said and smiled.
I just smiled back at bumalik na sa pwesto ko para simulan ang trabaho habang kumakain.

Sa dinami dami kong trabaho iilang subo palang ng pagkain ko ang nagawa ko. Tsk. I wonder if Tan ate his lunch already. Binuksan ko ng madali ang phone ko para itext siya but I saw a text message from him.

Baby Tan:

Eat before doing your work. I'll eat now too.

He sent that a few minutes ago. I replied and said:

:

I'm eating while doing my work. Ang dami kasi. Eat well.

After sending that ay pinagpatuloy ko na ang paggawa ng gawain at pag kain.

Hours past by, hindi ko alam kung nakakalahati na ba ako. Hindi ko naman pwede iwan yung mga ito dahil for sure matatambakan nanaman ako bukas.

"Aysht!" Sigaw ko habang kinakamot ang ulo.
"You okay?" I heard someone from behind me ask.
Lumingon ako and saw Tan. Umupo siya sa tabi ko.
"You shouldn't stress yourself too much." He said and caressed my hair.
"Can't help it." I said at pinagpatuloy na ang trabaho. Sumulyap ako sa bintana at nakita na gabi na pala.

Leah went home already since she told me she has a headache. Tsk.

"You sure you can do it?" He asked and inilagay ang nakalagas kong buhok sa likod ng tenga.
"I have now choice plus I need to finish atleast half of this para hindi na ako matambakan bukas." I said not bothering to look at him.
"Need any help?" He asked.
Umiling lang ako.
"If you need help, just tell me." He said and I saw him smile.
"Thanks, baby." I said at lumingon sakanya.
"I'll just wait for you until you finish. Bawal ka na magtaxi since its getting late already." He said at binuksan na ang phone nito , I don't know ilibang siguro ang sarili niya.

Hindi ko na siya pinansin hanggang sa nakasobrang kalahati na ang natapos kong gawin. I looked at Tan who is now sleeping on my desk. He looks so tired. I smiled and put my jacket around him. Its getting so late but I figured I should just finish since malapit na din naman matapos to.

After some moments, natapos na din ako sa wakas! Tiningnan ko si Tan para sabihin sakanya na tapos na ako. Tinapik ko siya at agad naman itong nagising.

"I'm done. Thanks for waiting, baby." I said and kissed his cheek.
"Let's go?" He asked at umakbay saakin.

"You're tired. Super tired." I said nung nasa loob na kami ng sasakyan.
"Not really." He said and smiled before starting the engine.
"Liar." I whispered.
"I heard that." He chuckled.
I chuckled a little and looked at him.
"Thanks for waiting for me kahit inabot na tayo ng gabi." I said.
"I could wait for you until you finish work, come back to me or do anything else." He said and smiled.
"I'll do the same to you. I promise." I said and smiled sweetly.
