Chapter 8

"We'll go over the transition next year. For now, just go on with your plans. " tumayo ako at nakipag kamay kay Stanly.
"I never thought it's gonna pull off like this. It was way better than I expected. Thank you.. for all the considerations." sabi ni Stanly.
"Don't thank me yet. We're just starting. I'm not gonna sugar coat it. It's gonna be rough on your part. "
"I can manage."
"I hope your family can manage as well?"
"They will. They're tough... and besides, it's actually my mom's decision."
Napangiti na lang ako and he left.
Umupo ako sa swivel chair at huminga ng malalim. It's been such a busy and tiring month. Hindi na ko nakaka gimik for the past weeks. Take note, it's in plural form. Usually, at least once a week gumigumik ako, pero sa sobrang dami ng ginagawa kahit weekend ay kailangan kong magtrabaho.
At least natapos na ang deal, medyo makakapag pahinga na ako at ang utak ko. The next few months is gonna be interesting.
I looked at my wrist watch. It's already 7:00pm. Time to go... maka-pag-unwind. I deserve it.
Tumayo ako. Maka-daan nga sa office nila Zack. Baka libre at maayang gumimik yung mag-pinsan.

"Sorry Pare may date kami ni Charlie." sabi ni Zack.
"Palagi naman kayong magkasama, pwede mo namang i-urong. Minsan lang akong mag-aya. O kung gusto mo, ako na lang ang isama mo, para may chaperone kayo." I teased, pero alam ko namang hindi sya papayag, napaka-dedicated husband nitong taong to. Masyadong nabaliw sa asawa nya. Well, sino ba naman ang hindi mababaliw na lalaki kay Charlie, I'm a victim myself.
Natawa si Zack.
"Loko-loko! Ayan na lang si Ice ayain mo. Mukhang wala namang ka-date yan." sabi ni Zack.
" I think I'll pass. I want to hit the sack. Wala pang isang oras ang tulog ko. " sabi ni Ice na mukhang lutang nga.
"At ano naman ang pinagpuyatan mo? May inuwi ka sigurong babae no?" tanong ko na may halong panloloko.
"Wag mo nga akong itulad sa yo! But actually, I accidentally bumped into someone last night. Hindi namin namalayan ang oras, at kung hindi pa tumawag yung kuya nya, baka talagang sinikatan na kami ng araw." napangiti sya, remembering the moments.
"Wow!!!! Nagbibinata na!!" I said with a knowing look.
"Wag kang green!" sabi ni Ice "Ikaw, porket babae ang pinag-uusapan, iba na takbo ng utak mo. Kumain at nagkwentuhan lang kami sa Mcdo ni Tanya."
Pagkabanggit ng pangalan ni Tanya. Nawala ang ngiti ko.
Si Zack nagulat din.
Si Tanya kasama nya kagabi?
Bakit biglang parang may kumurot sa dibdib ko at napakunot ang noo ko. Napansin ito ni Ice at tinignan ako ng seryoso.
"Pare, do we have a problem with Tanya?" Tanong ni Ice. " If there's something going on between the two of you, then I'll back off."
Absurd.
"Si Tanya liligawan ko?!!! That will never happen. We're like oil and water. Hindi kami mix. At kahit kelan ay hindi pwedeng magkasundo."
"Sure ka dyan pare a. I'm just laying down my intensions, para hindi tayo magkaproblema in the future. And I'm telling you now, point blank, that I'm interested with her."
BINABASA MO ANG
Finding Mr Wrong [COMPLETE!!!]Soon to be published under LIB
RomanceBook 2 of 'I love you Kuya'. Si Tanya Ramirez, hyper, makulit, kikay at higit sa lahat astig. The word "typical" is definitely not in her vocabulary. Mahilig sya sa gwapo, matalino, mayaman etc etc. Yung tipong lalake na sa libro o sa fantasy world...
