Getting Into High

Nueve

"Oh, I'm sorry."

The senior engineer apologize, pumasok nalang ito ng walang katok at nakita kami kaya ganoon nalang ang reaksyon nito. Beaumont just nodded at the Senior engineer and he stood up.

"You have to see it," I heard the Senior engineer said to Beaumont, he just nodded and he turn back his gaze on me.

"We're going to go out. Just call me if you need something. Just stay here."  napamaang ako ng umabot ng tatlong sentence ang sagot niya!

Totoo ba 'to?

Ngumiti lang ang Senior Engineer sa'kin kaya ngumiti din ako pabalik at lumabas na sila at sinirado ang pintuan.

I can't control my feelings, I stood up and jumping up and down. My cheekbones lifted up and giggling uncontrallably.

I can't believe that the one word to two words Beaumont, manage to talk to me now with three sentences!

Grabe.

Hindi ko mapigilang mapangiti. I sit in his swiveling chair, nagpapanggap na ako siya at ginaya ang sinabi niya sa'kin at ang kilos niya kanina, napatawa naman ako sa ginawa.

May nakita akong isang pares ng tsinelas sa ibaba ng table, a black nike slipper. Sinuot ko kaagad ito at lumabas sa office. I want to see him, na bo-boring na din ako dito!

Pagkalabas ko ay sumalubong kaagad ang ingay dahil sa ginagawa ng mga construction workers. I look around finding Beaumont.

Napangiti ako ng makita siya sa harapan ng tinayuang gusali, holding a blueprint while staring at it seriously, the sunlight directs where he's standing at. He looks like a indeed Goddess!

My smile was big as the moon when his gaze turn at me. I wave my hands while giggling. He just give the blueprint to the Senior Engineer and he's looking at me intently, focus like laser beams.

Binilisan ko ang paglalakad ko hanggang sa nasa harapan niya na ako, I even look up because he's tall! He take of his hard hat that his baby hair is falling at his forehead, he even shoved his hair away.

I straightened when he put his hard hat in my head. Making me gasped for a bit.

"Always wear that when we're here," he ordered. I smiled and nodded.

Tumingin ulit ito sa harapan at binigyan na siya ng hard hat ng isang construction worker at sinuot niya naman ito. Looking at the blueprint na hawak-hawak na ng Senior Engineer ngayon.  Nag-uusap sila sa paraan na sila lang ang makakaintindi, engineer nga.

Nang sumakit na ang tuhod ko kakatayo ay tumalikod ako at may nakita akong kahoy na upuan doon at may puno na nagsisilbing silong. Hindi na ako nagpaalam kay Beaumont dahil busy na ito sa pakikipag-usap. Umalis na ako doon at umupo dito sa ilalim ng puno while looking at him behind.

Hays! Naiwan ko pala bag ko sa loob!

I looked at my wrist watch and it's 12:00 in the afternoon na, aayain ko na sana siya mag lunch pero busy pa siya kasama ang Senior Engineer habang may tinuturo sa gusali at inuutusan ang mga construction worker. They're busy so hindi ko muna sila guguluhin.

Dahil nga sa boring na ako ay pinagsisipa ko nalang ang mga bato na nasa paanan ko. Napatigil ako sa pagsisipa nang ang sinipa kong bato ay may natamaan at iyon ay ang sapatos ni Beaumont.
