•TYVIAN'S POV•

I LET THE days passed through focusing on my works and in my congressional sessions. I felt so light thinking that Augustina lifted her blind dates for me with unknown reasons. Matagal na siyang hindi nangungulit sa akin patungkol sa mga babae niya. Dagdag lang kasi iyon sa mga pino-problema ko kapag nasa trabaho.

Hinatiran ako ng aking bodyguard kanina ng lunch na malapit ko nang kinaiinisan. I appreciated very much that he cooked me food for lunch but I missed having lunch with him. Nakakabagot kumain kasama itong ibang officers dito. O minsan pa, ako lang mag-isang kumakain dito sa opisina. Wala akong inaasar. My day would lighten more if I tease Lester. Gusto kong makita iyong nagsusungit niyang mukha. Parang hindi na-ko-komplete ang araw ko kapag hindi nangyayari iyon.

Does it sound so wrong? My mind and my brain were debating why should I miss a guy. Of course, he is a friend and my employee. Hindi siya iba sa mga kaibigan ko na na-mi-miss ko rin ngayon. I sighed heavily. I longed to tease Greene and Jonah. My life is so boring. I will not be a softy to Lester's decision. Kung magpapatuloy ito, patuloy akong mamatay sa kabagutan.

The whole week is still the same. Hinahatid-sundo ako ni Lester. His treatment to me is still the same. I had been feeling that he is just forced to work for me. Some of these days, I would have a little chitchat with my dearest friend, Crexion.

"Lester," I stopped my head from moving with the beat of the music in the radio. Patungo na kami ng Palasyo.

He raised his eyebrow to signal that he is listening. Nasa kalsada ang kanyang mga mata.

"How's your sister?" Celestina is not really talking to me. Dalawang linggo na. I had so many questions in my brain. When I caught her dating that fucking Chad Collins, my jealousy is on high edge. Nakapag-usap pa naman kami ngunit kinabukasan ay hindi na niya ako pinapansin.

"Ayos naman siguro. We are not communicating for how many days. She's busy with her career," he bitterly answered. I nodded so shock. Pakiramdam ko ay may galit sila sa isa't-isa.

I felt so weird with what's happening. Ilang araw na rin akong hindi nakakatulog dahil sa gabing iyon. It haunted me like a sweet nightmare. Everytime I see Lester, I feel something so alienated. A feeling that so out of this world. Bakit ko nararamdaman na siya ang makakapag-kompleto ng pangungulila ko sa kapatid niya?

When I saw Celestina in that bar, my heart said 'she's the one'. My heart pumped the same blood when I look at this man over here every morning and every breakfast. Buong pagkatao ko ay sadyang nagtataka na sa takbo ng aking puso!

O baka nangungulila lang talaga ako kay Celestina. I wanted to see her badly ever since. I gave her flowers everyday but I did not receive a thank you text or note that she used to do in the past. Minsan nakakalimutan kong nag-e-exist siya kapag inaasar ko na si Lester.

He really gave me a raw emotion that cannot be defined and understood. It doesn't mean something, maybe? Wala lang akong girlfriend kaya ganito kabagot ang buhay ko.

I should have one and I wanted Celestina to be that someone.

Wala akong sinagot hanggang sa makarating kami sa Malacañang. I'll wait for him to open the car's door for me and when he did, I got out with a smile on my face. I winked at him and he snobbed me slightly. Natawa ako sa kanyang reaksiyon.

"It's abnormal to wink a guy, Sir. Bruskong lalaki ka pa naman." His comment made me shivers because of its coldness. Tinapik ko ang balikat niya.

"I want to tease you. It makes my day complete," medyo gulat siya sa sinabi ko kaya nagkatinginan kami. Ako pa yata ang mas nagulat dahil sa nakita. His eyes, lips and emotions...they resembled of her. That night when I felt the desire for love.
