"Good day Ma'am. Bilin po ni Ma'am Tessie dumiretso na kayo sa private office niya."

Nginitian ko si kuyang guard na nagbabantay sa lobby. It is Saturday and our plan got moved in the afternoon dahil sa isang emergency meeting dito sa company. Dada needs Kuya in the meeting so I have no choice but to wait for  him.

Ayaw ko naman na sa bahay pa maghintay kaya pumunta nalang ako dito sa kompanya. I also plan to read some med books dahil may mga naligaw na  ganoon sa office ni Mom.

"Hi Mom." Bati ko pagkabukas ko ng pinto. She's wearing her reading glasses, may kung anong binabasa sa mga nakatambak na papeles sa kanyang mesa.

Dumiretso akong umupo sa sofa na naroon.

"Oh you're early. I thought you're gonna go after lunch na?" Tanong niya matapos ibaba ang papel na binabasa at tumingin sa akin.

I let out a smile. I can almost hear her 'oh' when she understood what I meant for that smile. "Okay, the books are there." She said smilingly while pointing the shelves at the far end of her office.

Agad akong tumayo at nagtungo sa mga libro. "Mom, mga anong oras matatapos sina kuya?"

"Maybe in an hour and a half? I don't really know. Why?"

"Nothing. I just thought of Rene, mas maganda na sanang pumunta siya rito para diretso na kami mamaya sa mall Mom."

"That's a nice idea sweetie. Papuntahin mo nalang siya dito para makapagchikahan din kami. Matagal-tagal na rin noong huling kita namin."

Matapos kong i-text si Rene ay ibababa ko na sana yung phone ko sa coffee table ulit nang mag-vibrate ito. Wow himala, mabilis magreply ang ate niyo ngayon.

However, my smile turned sour when the message say that it was sent by an unknown number. Ugh, that jerk! Really?

A great way to ruin my mood huh? I decided to read it anyway.

From: Unknown Number

Let's talk about the deal. Meet me at the newly opened café couple street before the school @10.

Tsss. He really thought I'm up for his deal? Huh! Anong akala niya, I'll do all his biddings? Neknek niya, bahala siyang maghintay doon hanggang sa pumuti ang uwak.

*beep*

Oops may isa pang text.

From: Unknown Number

Ps. I hate waiting

Iignorahin ko na sana nang mag-pop up yung number niya sa phone ko. My goodness he's even calling me!

Unknown Number calling...
Accept                       Decline

Agad kong swinipe sa decline. Buti na lang naka-silent 'tong phone ko dahil kung hindi maririnig ni Momma! Worst case scenario pa kung tanungin niya ako kung sino 'yon. Mahuhuli niya naman agad ako kapag nagsinungaling ako kaya buti na labg talaga.

To: Unknown Number
I'm sorry, something came up. Let's just reschedule it, I'm busy.

I hit the reply, siguro naman gagana yung alibi na 'yon. Tsaka busy naman talaga ako, may pupuntahan kami nila Kuya later.

Couple of minutes, Rene came wearing an outfit that matches with me. My gosh, we are wearing same top color, blue!

"Hi Tita Tess!" Bungad niya at dumiretso kay Mom para humalik at yumakap.
