Hatid

"Do I hit a nerve?" panunuya pa ni Molly sa akin. Sumuko na ako na pahiran ang palda ko na may mantsa dahil mukhang hindi na iyon mawawala katulad nang multo ng ngisi ni Molly na naglalaro sa kanyang labi.

My lips twitched. Binato ko sa trash bin ang wet wipes.

"Ewan ko sayo." napagod na akong magsalita kaya iyon na lang sinabi ko. If she can pissed me. I can pissed her too.

"You're just guilty! You can't just admit it! What? You're scared or your denial."

"Bakit ko naman aaminin sayo. Hayaan mo na iyong tao may asawa na iyon. I shouldn't meddle with his issue now. Nanahimik ako rito at hinayaan ko rin siyang manahimik pero ito na naman siya. Nakikiusyuso na naman sa buhay ko!" I exclaimed as my fingertips rest in the keyboard.

Halos hindi na maipinta ang mukha ni Molly. Now a taunting smirk is in my possesion. Pissing her off is really my forte huh.

Kaso bigla rin naglaho ang ngisi ko ng maalala na narito nga pala si Lucian!

Ang masama lang noon magkatrabaho pa kami. And we're in a same position. Kairita! Ibigsabihin mas maraming posibilidad na magkasama kami. Kung kailan nakasanayan ko na ang buhay na ganito ay unti-unti na namang gumuguho ang katahimikan sa akin.

I wish we'll just deal for the paperworks permanently but that's just so impossible. We have a new project now, and for the the following weeks we're going to be regular on sites. I will miss the feels of my aircon here and my swivel chair.

"You're easy to caught on your reaction. It's like you saw your nightmare." aniya. Hindi pa rin tumitigil sa panunuya sa akin.

Literal na nakaharap ko ang bangungot ko kanina Molly! It was like the nightmare that I burried in the depths of my body escaped on its cage and the effect is now lingering in my veins! Nagkaroon ng error sa pagtitipa ko dahil sa biglaang panginginig ng daliri.

I took a heavy sigh.

"Let's drop the topic. I don't really want to talk about it." I said. The atmosphere is thickening in my office. Nawala ang pagka-aliw at panunuya ni Molly nang mapansin ang seryoso kong awra. She leaned in my desk and poked my cheeks.

"He's gwapo but you're way better than him Hyacinth. I witness all your hardships. I don't know what happened but I'm always here for you." I look at the screen of my PC when Molly said it. Then I look up to her.

Humilig ako sa backseat ng swivelchair at hinawakan ang kamay niya na nasa pisngi ko. I smiled at her and she smiled back. I almost laugh when she said the word gwapo. Her accent is really thick.

"Yeah, thank you."  I said and she jokingly messed my hair before straightening her back.

"I'll get back to work or glance to your Engineer, I mean Sir Lucian." tinaliman ko siya ng tingin

"You won't hit on him?" she frowned.

"That means competing with you Hyacinth and I don't want that to happened." I arched a brow.

"And he's not my type! He's a hottie and quite a catch but nah, you already claim him. sisterhood before manhood." nanlaki ang mata ko sa binitawan niyang salita sa pagkawindang. She laugh out loud as she march her way to the door. Tumatakas na sa pagsigaw ko sa pangalan niya. He closed the door and I massage my temple!

Sometimes she really brought me more stress than my paper works. Humilig na ako sa swivel chair. Sinusubukang ibalik ang wisyo sa pagtratrabaho kahit sa labas lamang ng pinto ko ay naroon ang lalaki na pilit kong nilimot.
