“I’m Engr. Athena Claire Garcia. Nice meeting you.” I’m trying to be compose here but I can’t help but to smile, sa isip ko lang ha? Baka mapagkamalan akong baliw kapat ngiti ako ng ngiti sa kanya.
“Pasensya na talaga sa pagkakamali ko kahapon Engr. Garcia. You want coffee? Libre ko, pambawi man lang sa pagkakamali ko kahapon.” OMG! Ayokong mag-isip ng iba pero bakit parang inaaya niya ako ng date!?
“May I ask, is this a date?”
“Whatever you think Engr. Garcia” The heck with that smile. I’m falling.
“Okay. Just let me get my car keys then I’ll follow your car na lang from behind.” Whatever I think daw, so I’ll think of this as a date hahahah
San na ba kami papunta? Ang layo-layo na nito sa site ah? Baka may masama to siyang bal- ooppsss, nandito na pala kami.
I got out of the car then I saw him beside the entrance, maybe waiting for me. Uhhh, sweet.
“What do you want Engr. Garcia?” Uhm, you? Are you available?
“Anything will do, Mr. Hernandez, I’ll just go there na lang to find our seats.” Omg ulit! I can’t wait to tell this to Gab. For sure, magiging masaya yun pero baka ako lang nag-iisip na date to? Bahala na. Okay, relax Athena, he’s here na.
“So, Engr. Garcia, matagal ka na nagtatrabaho sa Montecillos’ firm?” Ay, di ako na inform na q&a pala ito pero pasalamat siya gwapo siya, sasagutin ko mga tanong niya.
“Ah, actually, 3 years na ako doon. Sabay kaming pumasok ng kaibigan ko.”
“Are you happy with the job you’re in?”
“Is this an interview?” I didn’t mean to offend him but I find his questions formal. Let me change the atmosphere.
“Are you single Mr. Montecillo?” I saw him smirk and he’s so gwapo. Like super gwapo talaga.
“I can be single for you Engr. Garcia, if you want to?” ay shet. Taken ang kuya mong CEO. Sadt.
“Oh, no thanks. But thank you for the coffee, I’ll go ahead baka makita tayo ng girlfriend mo.” I don’t know why but this is my first time seeing him pero nasaktan ako sa narinig ko. Tama nga naman, sa gwapo niyang yun, wala siyang girlfriend? Hay.
“Wait –“ I cut him off na because I wanna get out of the café na immediately.
“Nice meeting you Mr. Hernandez. Una na ko.” Then I drove my car papunta sa office. Ayoko na nga lang to ikwento kay Gab, pagtatawanan lang ako nun, as always.
“Hey Athena! In my office now.” Speaking of. May pa in my office, in my office pang nalalaman, eh makikichika lang naman to.
“Oh, ano gusto mong malaman bud?” napangiti siya sa bungad ko sa kanya pagpasok ko sa office niya, told ya. Chismoso ang bestfriend ko.
“May date ka raw kanina? Iniwan ang site dahil sa isang Mr. Hernandez ha? First time in the history. May nadapa na sayo?
“Ekis” Alam kong mahaba-habang usapan to.
