Shedi's POV

Di ako mapakali sa office dahil ngayon dadalaw si Flame sa office namin. I'm really nervous pero diko maipagkakaila na excited akong muli na makita sya. She's one of the reason why I decided to do the operation of my eyes but suddenly--- ako din ang rason kung bakit nawala sya sa akin.

"Good afternoon Miss Bautista. Miss Salvador and Miss Chen are already here." -- pahayag sa akin ng Secretary ko na si Alice, napahinga muna ako ng malalim.

"Please let them in." the door slowly opened and there--- I saw Flame and her girlfriend, they look lovely together, may panghihinayang na usal ng isip ko, I smiled at them kahit na hindi ako komportable na makita sila together.

"Hi Miss Bautista, it's been 4 years." -- nakangiting bati ni Flame sa akin. Nginitian naman ako ng girlfriend nya kaya nginitian ko naman ito ng pabalik.

"Yeah! It's been 4 years. Look at you, you look different now." -- masayang usal ko sa kanya. Sana di halatang pilit lang ang ngiti ko sa harap nila, as much as I want, ayaw kong mapansin nyang naapektuhan ako sa kanila.

"I'm happy to see you, I'm glad you make it." -- nakangiting usal nito but her eyes looks so sad? Diko maiwasan makaramdam ng panghihinayang, pelase don't give me that look Flame I might misunderstood you that you still like me.

"I needed too. For my Lola and the company." -- sagot ko naman sa kanya.

"Nice to meet you Miss Chen, welcome to Bautista Enterprise." -- baling ko naman sa malamodel na kasama ni Flame.

"I heard a lot about you Miss Bautista from my girlfriend." -- tugon naman nito kaya napatingin naman ako kay Flame na masayang nakatingin sa amin, but why? Gusto kong tanungin pero wala akong lakas ng loob. They really look good together, I must admit that. Napaiwas na lang ako ng tingin at yinaya silang maupo. Pinaayos ko na din kay Alice ang mga documents para mareview na nila Flame yung changes sa contract.

"I'm fluttered hearing that-- I hope all you heard were good one." -- natatawang usal ko naman.

"No worries Miss Bautista. I'm glad Flame met you way back then, she's not my sweet Flamery if she didn't met you." -- she said lovingly. Napatingin naman ako sa magkahawak na kamay nila. Flame is looking at the documents.

"She's really sweet Miss Chen. She's just a tough person." -- tugon ko naman, huli na ng mapagtanto ko ang naging tugon ko.

"So how's your life? Do you have someone now?" -- tanong naman ni Flame sa akin. Sasagot na sana ako ng magring ang cellphone ni Miss Chen.

"Babe, Dad is calling, Miss Bautista I need to answer this. Excuse for a moment." -- paalam nito, tinanguan ko naman at nginitian, hinalikan muna niya si Flame sa pisngi bago ito tuluyang lumabas. Napalunok naman ako dahil kinakabahan ako.

"So?" -- usal nito.

"Pardon?" -- usal ko naman. Napatawa muna ito "I said, How's your life? And if there's someone in your life right now?" -- the way she asked me it seems like she really moved on. I should be glad but why do I feel the opposite?

"Fine Miss Salvador. And-- there's someone but we're not yet together." -- sagot ko naman, naisip ko bigla si Celeste. White lies, what I'm doing? But she's really fun to be with and she's courting me. I must be crazy right now, kinakausap ko sarili ko habang nasa harap ko si Flame.

"That's good. Gusto ko na may mag aalaga sayo." -- komento naman nito with a smile in her face, that's smile, never failed to makes my heart beat fast.
