"This is crap."

Ibinagsak ko sa lamesa ang proposal ng team na ito tsaka ako sumandal sa swivel chair ko. Minasahe ko ang sentido ko at pumikit ng mariin. Everyone in the room was quiet. When I opened my eyes, I eyed the marketing employee sharply while he looked down.

Bakit, natatakot ka ba sa akin o nahihiya sa proposal na isinubmit mo directly to me, your Director?

"Even a student can write a proposal like that. You're a professional. Fix it. You can do better," mariing sabi ko at pinaalis ang team niya sa opisina ko. I groaned due to frustration when Sean who is seated on the sofa laughed right after they left my office. Mas lalong sumasakit ulo ko tuwing nakikita ko pagmumukha niya.

"Stop laughing, I'll kick you," banta ko. I can still hear his laughs that made me more irritated.

"Ever strict, Solanna Serafina. Thanks for managing the business kahit na hindi naman business ang natapos mo." His lips tugged up, smirking at me. I groaned more. Now I understand why he didn't want to take this job.

"Hindi ko alam kung ipagpapasalamat ko bang nahanap mo ako o ano," I snapped. I looked the my wrist watch to check the time. I stood up and fixed my things.

"Susunduin mo na si Ravi?" tanong ni Sean habang inaayos din ang sarili.

"Yes, malapit na uwian niya. I promised him a date after his school," I shared. Kinuha ko ang hand bag at telepono ko. I started texting my driver pata naka-ready na ang sasakyan pagkalabas.

"Sama ako," he pleaded. I rolled my eyes and tapped my table.

"You have a lot of work to do here. Besides, magkikita naman tayo sa bahay. You bond with your son. This is a mother and son bonding, don't you even dare!" binantaan ko siya bago ako tuluyang makalabas ng opisina ko.

Luckily the driver was already waiting outside the building. I slid myself inside the passenger seat. A small smile appeared on my lips when I remembered a gesture that someone used to do to me every time I enter a car. I unconsciously touched the top of my head.

I felt stupid when I did that, inayos ko nalang ang buhok ko as an excuse ko at sumimangot.

When we reached Ravi's school, I immediately saw him waiting outside. He looked impatient, he was holding both straps of his bag and tapping his toe fast. Walang emosyon ang kanyang mukha, not until he saw me getting out of the car. His eyes lit up, it reminds me of his father. I smiled at my four year son and motioned him to wait for me.

Tumutunog ang heels ko sa bawat pagtapak. I smiled when I saw him spread his arms to welcome me with a hug. I knelt down to level him and I hugged my son tight. I kissed his cheeks and my lipstick left a stain so I chuckled and wiped it off.

"Hello, my love," malambing na bati ko.

"Where's Silver?" I looked for his cousin. He pointed at a direction and I saw a black Bently, just about to go. I smiled and waved my hand, for sure they'll see me. Bumalik ang tingin ko sa anak ko.

"Why are you waiting for me outside, didn't we talked about this already? Wait inside for your safety?" I asked again. Kukunin ko na sana ang bag niya nang iiwas niya ito sa akin. I raised my brow at my little Ravi. His innocent brown hooded eyes looked up me.

"Because if you go inside, the other dads will look at you again. I don't need a Daddy! And Sir Guard was with me while waiting for you po so you don't have to worry. I'm a big boy now," he said with his hard British accent. His brows furrowed, slightly looking back at his school's gate. He smiled and waved his hand when he saw the guard.
