SANYA
Matapos ng nangyari sa pantry ay umalis na rin ako agad doon. Naglalakad ako papuntang elevator with my tumbler. Medyo nagugutom ako kasi di ako nakakain sa break ko. Bwisit kasing CEO yan. Bakit pagala-gala ang lalaking yon?
I looked at my wrist watch at halos mawalan ako ng balanse ng makitang tatlong minuto na akong over break!Bahala siya sa buhay niya, anong favor-favor? Di ako kikita sa favor na yan! Bumili siya ng starbucks niya mag-isa!
Umibis na ako papunta elevator, but for such unfortunate events ay nakasara ito ngayon for maintenance. Talaga ba?! Seriously?!
I sighed exaggeratedly and decided to take the stairs. Tumatakbo ako sa hagdan dahil nasa 15th floor pa ang prod, nasa 9th floor ako!
Ilang uli akong napapatigil dahil sa pagod at habang tumatagal ay mas lalo akong kinakabahan dahil na-i-imagine ko ang salubong sa akin ni sermon at umuusok na tenga't ilong ni coach.
Noong nasa 15th floor na ako ay halos matumba na ako sa pagod. I still want to continue running pero pagod na ako. Hinihingal pa ako.
I sat at the stair and drink water.
I roam my eyes until one thing caught my eye.
The janitress was about to enter the elevator.
How could she? Eh under maintenance di ba?
Napatanga ako noong bumukas ang elevator at lumabas doon ang nakakabwisit na lalaki. Malawak ang ngisi nito, nakasunod sa kanya ang sekretarya niya.
Ayos ang elevator, nasa loob siya...
Nandilim ang paningin ko sa nabubuong ideya sa aking isipan.
Did this jerk set up that prank on me?! What the f—arrrg!
Gusto ko man siyang buhol-buhulin pero mamaya na dail sobrang late na ako!
After I regain energy, nagpatuloy ako sapagtakbo, I tap the badge and enter the production floor, I run to our bay.
"Sanya!" Someone called my name. Lumingon ako dito habang tumatakbo. It was Mentor Jorj assisting other team. "Lagot ka sa Coach mo!"
Napaismid ako. "I know—ahh!"
I suddenly bump on some hard wall and felt my feet step on something na nagpawala ng aking balanse. I closed my eyes and wait for a painful fall to the ground.
But instead, a hard and strong hands captured my waist and held it tightly. The savior's hot breathe was on my face, and he smells really good!
Voices from the people who was able to see the incident filled my ears.
I tried opening my left eye but I couldn't see the guy's face clearly. He has this black hair and dark eyes. His face's structure looks so dashing. He is like a super—
Suddenly the arms lost its grip and let go of my waist. And me, still not regaining any balance finally taste the painful fall.
"Aww!" Daing ko pagkabagsak ng pwetan ko sa sahig. Inda-inda ko ito na tila ba'y sa paraan na itong mawawala ang sakit. I hurriedly look at the jerk, but I think I am more surprise to see him.
"Ikaw na naman?!" I screamed, not minding my attitude, behaviour and my voice.
Agad akong tumayo aka nagpagpag ng damit. Gusto ko pa siyang sigawan pero late na ako kaya tinalikuran ko na siya saka naglakad palayo. I really hate his guts!
Remember, Sanya, he is your boss! May pinanggagalingan ang kayabangan niya.
I walk towards our bay, only to be welcomed by my coach's death glare.
Bibinggo na ata talaga ako sa kanya.
"Mag-aux ka, coaching." Coach tell me then she turn her attention sa kanyang laptop. Napakagat ako ng aking labi saka lumapit sa station ko, Alleya looked at me while she's talking to a customer. She raised her hands with a thumbs up like asking if I'm okay.
I nodded and smile at her. I immediately open my PC and saw that coach logged me out. I log in again and put the aux coaching.
Pagkatapos ay pinatay ko ito muli at lumakad pabalik sa station ni coach.
"Upo." Malamig na utos ni coach. I pout and sat in front of her. She type something of her laptop until she close it and set it aside. She turn on me and napabuntong hininga. "You will be terminated."
Napanganga ako sa narinig.
"H-Ha?"
Napailing siya saka napabuntong hininga muli ng malalim. "You're courage to break the policies threatened the bosses' pride of implementing rules. They want you out for your consecutives failure to comply and follow such rules. I tried to convince them that you in this time, baka nagka-emergency ka lang. You know naman na ayokong mawala ka sa team, di ba? But this is the reality. They want me to remove you and terminate you."
Napayuko ako. I felt my heart suddenly fall and broke into pieces. I felt betrayed but it's not my coach's fault, it's my fault.
Ramdam ko ang pag-init ng sulok ng aking mga mata at pamumuo ng aking luha. I am trying my best not to cry, pero kunti na lang bibigay na ako.
"Kahit ako Sanya, ayoko gawin to pero wala akong choice but to follow and obey from the CEO."
Napa-angat ako ng ulo ng marinig ang huling salita. "C-CEO?"
Tumango ito. "Oo, Sir Justin ordered us to fire you—Wait, teka saan ka pupunta, Sanya?"
Napatiim bagang ako ng marinig ang pangalan ng antipatiko na iyon.
So he is the main reason kaya nawalan ako ng trabaho?! How could he?!
I left my bay and walk my way to his office here on this building. I walked out of the production floor and use the stair going to the 16th floor.
I'm really going to kill the hell of him.
Nang makarating ako ng 16th floor ay may dalawang gwardya ang nasa pintuan ng kanyang opisina.
"Anong kailangan mo, Miss?"
I ignored him and passed by him and make my way inside his office.
That...
I should have never done.
Nanlaki ang mata ko dahil sa scenario'ng nasa harapan ko.
Ang magaling na lalaki lang naman ay nakaupo at may nakapatong sakanyang babae na halos hubad na dahil gula-gulanit na ang kasuotan.
"W-What..."
I saw how they were flushed on their position seeing me here in front of them, watching what they were doing.
"What the hell?!"
More time to know Sanya Lacson more. But he didn't expect the sudden turn of events and twist of happenings. He just want to know her more! Hindi niya ginusto na galitin ito at maging kaaway niya! "Bwisit ka talagang lalaki ka!" narinig niyang sigaw nito mula sa loob ng pantry. He just raised his hand and wave it. Mula sa pwesto ng elevator ay nilapitan niya ang sekretrya. "I want you to put a signage here on this elevator. This should be under a mechanic work." Kumunot ang noo ng kanyang sekretarya. "What do you mean, sir?" Ngumisi si Justin. "Let's say I just wanna play with some kitty."
3 R D "So we have a problem with our Philippine branch?" Justin Klein Cordova, the ruthless CEO of Cordova's group of companies nodded to the question his father asked. "Yes, Dad. I will be at the Philippines by the next days to check our site there." sagot niya. Actually, he can just ask his secretary to be the one to check the site but he also wanted to make sure that his brother is not just messing things up. "Good," his father answer in satisfaction. "By the way, have you met the Declauxe's daughter?" Napatigil si Justin sa pagkain dahil sa narinig. Ah, the stupid arrange marriage again.
SANYAIniunat ko ang aking mga kamay at paa habang humihikab. Marahan kong iminulat ang aking mga mata. Medyo maliwanag pa ang paligid kaya nasisigurado kong hindi pa gabi.Anong oras nga ulit ako natulog?Dala ng bagong gising ay hindi agad ako kumilos at umalis sa higaan. Tinatamad pa ako."Hey, sleepy head."Napalingon ako sa nagsalita and I saw Klein leaning on the door.Klein's topless and only wearing his pants while leaning on the door."Love what you are seeing?" Klein said while having those kinky grin on his lips.
It felt like my heart is dyingagain."Please try to open your ears for him too. If you fully trust me, you will let him explain his side to you. You will let him have his chance to speak about the truth. Hindi lahat ng nakikita mo ay totoo. Sometimes, truth are hidden beneath the lowest, beyond the grasp of a human's naked eye. Hear his side, kung hindi ka kuntento at sa tingin mo ay kalokohan ang rason niya, I don't have any say on that. It's yours to decide."Napahikbi nalamang ako iling. I felt my knees being jellied kaya naupo ako at sinapo ang mukha bago napailing. "I-I don't know anymore, JK..." sambit ko na may naginginig na boses."My heart, sobrang sakit. Ang sakit kasi. Masisisi mo ba ako na ganto ang reaksyon ko dahil sa mga nalaman ko?" nanginginig na sambit
SANYA"Let go of me, Klein."Mabilis itong umiling saka mas lalong humigpit ang pagkakayakap sa akin. "No! No, Sanya. I-I can't..."Napabuntong hininga na lamang ako at pinilit na makawala sa pagkakayakap niya, but to no avail ay tumigil na rin ako."Baby..." he whispered while, still, silently crying on my shoulders. His whole body's shaking at ilang segundo na lamang ay bibigay na ang kanyang tuhod."Pakawalan mo na ako, Klein.""No! No!" sigaw niya.Buong lakas akong kumapit sa tagiliran niya at buong lakas siyabg tinulak. Fortunately, I was able to loosen his f
SANYA"You can go home now, Miss Lacson. Just don't overwork yourself and rest for a while. I recommend a two to four days rest before you go back to your work. Reresetahan na lamang kita ng gamot na makakatulong bumilis ang pagbalik sa normal ang katawan mo, okay?"Tumango ako saka ngumiti sa doktor. Ngumiti rin ito at hinarap si Klein na nakakunot ang noo habang nakamasid sa amin.Kinausap pa si Klein ng doktor bago ito tuluyang lumabas at naiwan kaming dalawa sa loob ng silid."You will be discharged later so I will just drive you home."Umiling ako, "h'wag na, baka busy ka. Saka malapit lang ang tinutuluyan ko dito. I don't live with my parents anymore."
