I stared at my reflection before going out of the comfort room.
It took me hours to realize that I am actually seeing him again. Not only once but I will be working with him.
Fate.
Are we being played by fate?
I actually believed that we were not meant to stay in each other's life that night so I decided to put an end in my feelings before it can destroy me. But the once dead butterflies in my stomach came back alive when he did what he did in the elevator.
Inayos ko ang dark- blue polo shirt na uniform ng mga nasa News Department. Pagkatapos ay lumabas na ako at dumiretso sa floor namin. Nakita ko na nakaupo si Kean sa seat niya malapit lamang sa akin.
"Miss Rivera, pupunta tayo ngayon sa mga naapektuhan ng bagyo sa Benguet. Aalis tayo mamayang 11, 'pag 10: 30 na pumunta ka na sa rooftop dahil nandoon na yung helicopter." tumango na lamang ako sa kanya.
He smiled and winked at me. I pretended like nothing happened. Dahil wala pa namang gagawin ay lumapit sa akin yung isa naming kasamahan. I believe her name is Cassey.
"So Kylie, are you dating someone?" bigla niyang tanong.
I really don't like it when people ask me personal questions but as of now, I can't do anything about it.
"I haven't dated someone," sagot ko. I saw how Kean turned his head on me in my peripheral vision.
"Seryoso ka ba? Kahit minsan?" I nodded as a sign of agreement.
"Pero may nagustuhan ka na?" this time I saw how Kean looked at me intently as if he was waiting for an answer.
"I used to like someone months ago," sagot ko.
"Siguro hindi ka niya gusto ano?" tanong niya. I thought about it before. Maybe he doesn't like me. Maybe I just assumed things.
The problem is on me. Why can't I differentiate romance from pure kindness?
Patuloy lang siyang nagtanong tungkol sa akin.
"Okay so wala ka palang boyfriend," sabi ni Cassey tapos tumingin siya kay Kean at ngumiti. What does that mean?
Magsasalita na sana ako when Kean spoke which made my knees go weak.
"Wala pa siyang boyfriend kase hindi ko pa siya girlfriend." he said then he went to the elevator.
Like before, the way he acts confuse me. I don't know if he's only playing with me or he is genuine. But I suddenly thought of that Loren.
Napatingin ako sa wall clock at nakitang 10: 30 na. Tumayo na ako at kinuha ang backpack ko dahil mas convenient iyong dalahin kesa sa office bag. Nagpalit na rin ako ng rubber shoes para madaling kumilos.
After a few minutes, dumating na si Kean. Sumakay na kami sa loob ng helicopter. Saglit lang daw ang byahe sabi noong piloto.
"Bakit ka biglang umalis matapos mo akong halikan?" he said breaking the silence.
"I just want to." Hell I would not tell him that I did it because of that Loren. Ang sakit kaya na papunta kayo sa 'date' tapos biglang hindi daw matutuloy. I still hope the accident of that Loren isn't serious.
"Hindi ako naniniwala." sabi niya. Eh di huwag siya maniwala. Hindi ko naman siya pinipilit.
"Bakit mo blinock yung number ko?" tanong niya ulit nung hindi na ako nagsalita. Sabi nung pilot saglit lang ito pero bakit parang tagal naman?
"I didn't block your number," hindi ko naman talaga blinock yung number niya. Plano ko pa lang gawin iyon noon but I guess the universe made way.
"Bakit hindi kita matawagan?"
