Love In The Absence (Together Series #1)

13

Pagod man sa pag-iyak ay hinayaan ko ang sarili ko sa ilalim ng lagaslas ng tubig mula sa shower. Hoping to wash away all the pain that I felt again after remembering all we have together. All the memories I have with him. All the pain caused me when he vanished. All the wait I did to hear him out. All the grievance and mourning for our lost child. It still pains me. Nasasaktan parin ako sa nangyari kahit lumipas man ang limang taon. I just can't say if this is good for me. Hindi ko alam kong maganda ang maidudulot ng sakit na to sakin. Na akala ko wala na. But just seeing him again makes the pain rise from its grave that serves to be their hiding place.

My phone rang and I just ignore it till I finish washing myself.

"Yes?— Yeah I'm coming." With that I change myself with my office attire and drive heading there.

I cancel all my appointments this day just to meet up with my best friend but we just part ways because of what happen. And Daph just called and I have something very important papers to sign.

I'm wearing my sunglasses to cover up my swollen eyes. Agad akong dumiretso sa elevator without greeting back all my employees. Nang makarating ako sa floor ay agad akong sinalubong ni Daph at pinagbuksan ng pinto. Dala na niya ang mga pipirmahan kong mga importanteng papeles.

I motioned my self and sat at my swivel chair as I remove my coat and glasses I wear.

"Okay ka lang ba Jez?" Daphnie suddenly ask before he put the papers in front of me.

"Yeah, Im fine Daph." I suppress a smile to her and she just nodded.

Daphnie is a friend of mine and happened to be a childhood friend of him. I personally choose her as my secretary when I'm just finally starting and didn't conduct any interview for the position. She's working with me for five years.

"Ma'am this are the papers for pay outs this October at may pinasa nang proposal si Ms. Aguirre para sa design at importing of fabrics from Paris. It all stated there the prizes and fabrics needed for every design." Paliwanag niya.

"Hmm, how about the interior department and sa furnitures and wood craft. Wala pa?"

Alam kong binasa na iyon ni Daphnie kung may anong hindi tama sa payouts ng mga empleyado at wala naman siyang sinabi na mali. He's that honest when it comes to work. Perks of being an educator before.

"At exact 2 am daw po ma'am sila magpapasa ng proposals at design."

Napatango nalang ako at dinismiss naman niya ang sarili niya at nagsimulang magpirma para sa sweldo ng empleyado ko. At finance na ang bahala sa release nito pag pirmado ko na.

I start to review the proposals from Benj and I can see no holes in her budgeting. Simula sa halaga ng tela at iba pa. Sa designs naman ay pasok sa taste ko pero hindi ko alam kung pasok sa taste ng board. But anyways, she would present it first before anything else. Hindi lang ako ang magdi-desisyon sa bagay nayan.

Dumating ang alas dos at personal na nagpasa ng proposals ang dalawang head sa interior at sa furnitures and wood craft. Agad ko namang nareview iyon at okay naman ang lahat pero mukhang sakto ang ang design nila para sa demands kaya nag-note nalang ako. Pinadagdagan ko nalang iyon para kung sakaling merong ibang design na ayaw ng kliyente ay mayroon pa silang pagpipilian na iba.
