Capturing My Heart ♥

SHOT4: Fine! He's All Yours!

SHOT 4: Fine! He's All Yours!

We're back at the office. I pulled my chair away from my desk and seated. I turned my eyes over my table ... tama, may ginagawa pala ako kanina na biglang nahinto dahil sa lunch break.

I started opening my folders again. Random talaga ang mga ginagawa namin dito. Minsan nasa field, then sa studio, pero kadalasan dito sa office.

Compared to the humungous main office, maliit lang ang building kung nasan kami—two storey, pero malawak ang area. Then mga ilang kilometers from here andun ang main office. You can travel from here to there for about thirty minutes.

"Cynthia," called my senior.

"Yes, Carl?" napatingin ako sa kanya while still holding my folders open.

"Tapos ka na ba dun sa pagle-lay-out ng mga pages?" he asked with a little flat tone.

"Yup! I have finished it since yesterday. Saglit lang," I bragged. Lumapit ako sa flat screen na desk top and he stood up as well, following me. I opened the file and showed it to him. Then ...

I saw him smile. YES! Natuwa ata sa ginawa ko! Hohoho!

"Kumusta?" I asked him expectantly.

"It's great, Cynthia. Ang bilis mong matuto ah!" Yay! Pinuri ako ni Senior!

"Of course! Magaling ang mentor ko eh!"  pinuri ko din siya.

He seated in front of the computer and made some finishing touches. Para yon sa magazine, if you must know.

"Nga pala, Senior ... Ilang taon ka na?" I asked him out of random curiosity.

"Twenty seven," he answered without turning his head to me.

"Ahhh ....," I nodded. So mas matanda nga siya kay Alto—ng ilang taon. In fairness hindi halata. Sa pagkakatanda ko kasi twenty-two lang si Alto at mas matanda siya ng isang taon sakin.

Satisfied, I went back at my table at naupo na ulit. I looked in front of me. Empty yung table sa harapan ko, pansin ko lang. Yaan mo siya, gala ng gala eh!

I sighed. Then I looked over my opened folders.

Kanina pa pala ako naiistorbo with these folders. Kelan ba kami magkakaron ng peaceful time together?

I turned perusal, concentrating on my folders. Silence surrounded the office at ... buti nalang tahimik na din. Si other guy naman kasi tahimik talaga.

I was so engrossed into reading when I heard a really loud thud. The door was slammed REAL hard! And it caught the attention of us all.

"What the—?!" I was so shocked. Parang tumalsik yung heart ko.

"CYNTHIA MYONEAL!!!"

I looked at the one who exclaimed my name, and I'm still shocked. I saw a girl in a furious state with her eyes directed fiercely unto me. Si Denise lang pala! Ano bang problema neto?

"Ano ba yun, Denise?" my eyebrows knitted as I asked, ignoring her furious appearance as she stood before my desk.

She looked really upset about something and ... maybe it has something to do with ME?!

She finally bursted out, "Ano ba yung narinig ko na magkasabay daw kayo ng AKING si Alto kaninang pagpasok? Alto's mine! He's MINE!!!" she exclaimed in a childish tone while pointing her index finger towards me.

"Ah ... Denise? That's ... true," I trembled, "Nagkasalubong kasi kami kanina, yun lang yun," I said, lying.

But unfortunately for me, she glared at me more—she's not convinced. She slammed her hands on my desk.
