"Gift"
"Ma'am, you have an appointment with Mr--" My secretary stop from talking when we heard a commotion in the lobby.
"Oh my...look at him. Gwapo niya noh?" one of my employee said...at may kasama pang tili.
"Sobra! Can't wait to know his name."
Napakunot ang noo ko ng makitang andaming tao sa lobby. Mostly girls...
"What's going on here?" my cold voice welcomed them as I walk near to them.
Silence enveloped the whole place. They become quiet and uneasy. As usual... whenever I'm around...nakakalimutan na yata nilang huminga.
I surveyed all of my employee and they were afraid to meet my gaze. Karamihan ay napatungo pa ng hindi makaya ang tingin at presensya ko.
"Can somebody answer me? Don't you think it's disrespectful not answering your boss's question?" humarap ako doon sa babaeng narinig kong tumili kanina. She was startled at first...then she realized kung anong gusto kong mangyari.
"U-Uhh Ma'am...k-kase po" nanginginig na sabi niya...at hindi niya matapos-tapos ang sasabihin niya sa labis na takot. I smirk at her...yet, when I was about to speak again, I heard a familiar voice from my back.
"Belle" I was taken aback at first...but I compose myself again as I face the reason of this nonsense commotion.
"Oh, no wonder...You can get women's attention just by the sight of you, until now huh. Walang kupas..." I gave him a blank stare.
"Belle...let's talk." his eyes show sadness and longing
"Is that why you're here? Ow sorry...but I don't have time." tinalikuran ko na agad siya. Sadness?? The hell with that!
I suddenly stop from walking when I felt his arm. "What the..."
"Please Belle. I'm begging...Let's talk"
"I said I don't have time! Are you deaf?"
"Then let's find time. There's a lot of time, Belle." he desperately said
"If there's a lot time, then why you never had a chance to make up with me in the past years?" walang emosyon kong sinabi pero ramdam ang galit ko...which I thought was faded all along.
"I'm sorry. I was confused that time...and I want to give you space...space that both of us needed in that time."
"That's bullshits, Dhry! That was 3 freaking years...Ang habang space naman yata nun." I can't hold my emotion anymore...I was relieved when I notice there are no people in here anymore...I guess I need to thank my secretary later.
"I'm sorry...Hindi ko sinasadya." napatingin ulit ako sa kanya ng marinig ang sinasabi niya.
"What? Don't give me that lame reason. I'm not stupid to believe that kind of excuse of yours. Alam mo bang sa loob ng tatlong taon, naghintay ako? I am damn waiting for your explanation yet even your presence was gone too. So, if you don't mind, I'll leave now... I am a busy person you know." I fake a smile and start walking as I turned my back at him.
Damn...bumalik na pala siya ah...and he still have guts to show his face to me like nothing happened before.
"Aishhhh...Vien!" I called my secretary
"Yes Ma'am?"
"Cancel all my meeting for this day." she blinked on my sudden decision.
"But Ma'am---" I cut her off
