Forbidden Inclination

Prologue

It is one summer day when I met them and the memories stay livid in my mind.

'Pharoah ngayun lang naman'.  Zebi said on the line habang naririnig ko ang pag-atungol nya.

Zebi has been bothering me since April starts because of the reason that his friend is going to get married and his been asking me if I can attend as his partner.

'di ba sabi ko naman sayo, I can't attend cause i already agreed to be with Moi, she asked me first'. haysss bakit kasi kailangang sabay ang kasalan na gaganapin.

'okay! okay! Basta bumawi ka ha?'. sabi nya na nagpangiti sakin.

'yeah no worries kahit anu pa iyan'. I said, 'okay bye for now, zeb i have things to do before having my vacation'.

'kay, bye boss' after that I immediately hang up the call.

"Haysss anu ba naman to ang dami dami pang gagawin at aasikasuhin kung di dahil talaga sa librong yun! Di ako sasama kay Moi." I murmured to myself.

Naalala kong may kailangan pala akong itanung sa secretary ko kaya I call her using the intercom.

"Joy, can you please come in?''

"Okay madam" he replied. In reality,  I'm really a strict boss but I've been taught on how to show respect, especially to people who have a big help to my success.

I heard a knock on my door and it revealed Joy.

"What can I do for you madam" pambungad agad sakin ni Joy.

"Well I've been wondering if I can leave the management of this company to you in 1 month, and ang alis ko ay next week na." 1 month kasi ang kailangan ko para bumalik ang sigla ko. Cause i think I'm suffering from depression without knowing the reason so I need to relax my mind and body for a while.

"Yes madam, don't worry nandito din po si Kayla para tulungan ako kung sakali." he said with a very friendly tone which I like about them.

"Then its settled" i said while smiling.

"Asahan mo nalang na may dagdag sahod ka sa gagawin mo, and since it's Friday, I'm giving all of you a day off tommorow with pay" sabi ko na nakangit.

"Sige po madam, maraming maraming salamat po. Wag po kayung mag-alala gagawin po namin makakaya namin para walang problema na babalikan mo" Joy said with a glittering eyes.

"Okay, you're dismissed". After I said that, he bowing his head as a sign of respect and leave afterwards.

Hindi ko namanlayang it's already 10 o'clock in the evening kaya pala kumakalam na sikmura ko.

I pack my things before leaving and check all the paperwork and the note I did for Joy to copy my daily routine.

"Red book - check, black note - check, hmmm. The yellow one - check." I utter while scanning my office for the last time.

Habang naglalakad sa pasilyo, nadaanan ko si Joy at Mark na naglalampungan. Haysss mapapasanaol nalang talaga ako.

Naalala kong 23 na pala tapos di ko pa nararanasang magkajowa. Nakakaiyak isipin, maganda naman ako, matalino, maganda, matalino tapos magand-.

"Good evening madam". biglang may nagsalita na nagpatalbog saakin. Nanglingunin ko, si Joy at Mark pala.

"Good evening too, after you finish that, you can now go home to rest". Sabi ko sa kanila.

"Okay po madam, have a safe travel to home" sabi ni Mark habang nakayuko.

"Okay, Thank you". I said while walking away.
