CRIZIA [PRESENT]
"I WANT YOU TO eat with me. That's an order." I closed my fist because of irritation. Ni hindi ko nilubayan ng tingin ang pagmumukha niya.
"Just to remind you, Mr. Rivera. I am your personal secretary. Eating beside you isn't part of my job," Humalukipkip ako at nginuso ang laptop sa harap niya. "You can search my job description dyan sa Google para may idea ka."
"I know what is your job, Crizia. I just want you to eat with me. Is it wrong?" Nagtangis ang ngipin ko. Kung maka-asta siya ay parang wala siyang ginawang kasalanan sakin noon.
"It is against to my principles. I don't eat with my ex." Umangat ang sulok ng labi niya.
"The way you talk, marami ka bang naging ex maliban sakin?" I arched my brow.
"Wala. I hate men. Sasaktan lang din nila ako." Nasamid siya bigla at hindi na makatingin sakin. "They're just going to dump me because I don't satisfy them in bed. Plus because I am soft hearted." Tumalim na ang tingin niya sakin.
"Why are you saying these?"
"It's because you are the reason why I quitted being in love. Luckily, my boyfriend taught me how to love and to trust again, and guess what?" I smirked bago pa ako mas lumapit sakanya. "I do satisfy him in bed."
"Shut up." Humagikgik ako at kinuha na ang kaninang hinihila ko.
"Pwede naman matutunan ang kakayahan sa kama, Diego. Ikaw lang 'tong feeling mauubusan kapag hinintay ang pagkatuto ko." I flipped my hair na humarang sa mukha ko. "Take your lunch, Mr. Rivera."
"Hey! I said eat here!" Kumaway lang ako sakanya habang naglalakad palabas ng office.
Biglang bumulaga sakin ang matangkad at magandang babae pero mukhang masama ang ugali. She arched her brow.
"Who the hell are you?" She asked.
"Good afternoon, Miss. I am Mr. Rivera's personal secretary- Crizia Aguilar. You need help or something? As far as I remember, there's no schedule for the lunch." Pagak itong tumawa at humalukipkip pa!
"Oh, so you are the secretary. Miss, I am Abigail Tiago. I don't need to set an appointment because I am his girlfriend!" Napatanga ako sakanya.
Girlfriend? May girlfriend siya? Girlfriend niya ang babaeng 'to? Gaano sila katagal? Limang taon na ba?
"Uhm..." Shit! Nasan ang tapang ko? Ang mga words? Bakit hindi ako makasagot?
"What?"
"Miss, Mr. Rivera is eating and seems like he doesn't want to-" Biglang sumupot si bugok.
"Zia, I told you- Abi?" Bahagya akong tumabi para makita niya ang girlfriend niyang parang pinipilipit sa kilig nang makita siya.
"Diego baby, I texted you last night! I said I miss you already." Hinaplos pa nito ang dibdib ng lalaki.
"Didn't I told you that I am busy?" Seryosong tanong ni Diego. Mukhang hindi siya natutuwa sa girlfriend niya.
"But, I want you! I miss your touches. Don't you miss me, baby?" I rolled my eyes bago ako tumikhim para makuha ko ang atensyon nila.
"Excuse me." Hindi ko na sila tinapunan ng tingin at dere-deretsyo na akong pumasok sa maliit na office na para sakin.

Bakit ganito ang nararamdaman ko? Bakit ang sikip sa dibdib? Hindi naman masikip ang bra ko. What the hell is happening?
OHMYGOD!
ZIA! It's been five years! Ngayon ka pa ba magre-react ng ganito? Sure akong hindi lang 'yon ang girlfriend ng gagong 'yon. I miss your touches daw. May nangyayari sakanila! What the hell? Siguro ay magaling ang babae sa kama kaya gano'n.
So? Wala akong pakielam.
Wala nga! Wala!
Pabagsak kong nilapag ang folder na dinampot ko pero agad kong binagsak. Hinila ko rin ang pagkain ko at inis na kumain. I don't want to see their faces. Ni ayaw ko na pumunta sa opisina no'n dahil baka iba pa ang makita ko.
I finished eating when the telephone beside me rang. Dinampot ko ito agad.
"Crizia Aguilar speaking." Saglit pa ito bago sumagot mula sa kabilang linya.
["I want you here, Crizia."] Umirap ako bago ko binagsak ang telepono at padabog na maglakad pa papunta sa opisina niya. I saw him agad.
Tahimik lang akong nakamasid sakanya. Nandito pa rin ang girlfriend niya, ha.
"Sir?"
"Your friend..." Tinignan nito ang isa pang babae sa gilid kaya dumapo rin ang tingin ko doon. Nanlaki agad ang mata ko nang makilala ko kung sino 'yon!
"Paula..." I want to scream pero pinigilan ko.
"Zia." She winked at me. Mariin kong kinagat ang labi ko para pigilan ang pagtili.
"I hired her as a bellwoman. She'll start her work today. Can you ask someone to guide her?" Umangat ang kilay ko. Bakit ako? Bago lang din ako bakit ako ang maghahanap? Baka pumalpak si Paula.
"Sure, Sir." I looked at Paula who's biting her lip and forcing herself not to smile. "Let's go?"
"Yes!" Tumingin ito kay Diego. "Thank you, Sir Diego! It's nice to see you after... Five years." I gritted my teeth secretly.
"You're welcome. It's nice to see you too, Paula." Umasungot ang girlfriend niya.
"Babe... You're being too close to her." Maarte nitong sambit na nagpataas ng kilay ko.
"Girlfriend mo, Sir?" Napalunok ako nang magtanong si Paula at mukhang hindi siya magpapaawat sakin!
"Uh, yeah." Tumango tango si Paula at nagnakaw pa ng tingin sakin bago sumulyap kay Abigael Tiago.
"I see. Your taste went low a little..." Umawang ang labi ni Abigael. "We can see the difference. We will go now, Sir."
Hinila ako ni Paula palabas ng opisina. Lutang pa ako pero nadala ko pa rin siya sa maliit na opisina ko. Diego's reaction was priceless! Even his girlfriend! Paula's so naughty!
"Loka loka ka!" Hinampas ko siya pero tinawanan niya lang ako bago sumalampak sa couch. "Bakit mo sinabi 'yon sa harap ni Diego? Girlfriend niya 'yon!" Humalakhak siya lalo.
"So? Totoo naman ang sinabi ko, Crizia. What happened to your husband?" Sinimangutan ko siya. How dare her!
"Correction. Ex-husband." Humalukipkip ako at tinanaw ang malawak na siyudad mula sa glass wall. "Ex means past. 'Wag ka na magsasalita ulit about sa naging past namin. I don't want to remember it."
Ngumuso siya. "I'm sorry, Criz. Nakalimutan kong hindi pala naging madali lahat sayo noon." Hindi ako umimik.

"It's okay. I moved on, Paula. Ayoko lang maalala ang nangyari noon." Nakita kong nakatingin pa rin siya sakin. "I can't even stand the sight of him, but I need this work."
"Bakit hindi ka na lang mag-asawa ulit, Crizia? Bata ka pa, 26 ka pa lang and marami ring nanliligaw sayo kahit na hindi mo sila pinapaunlakan." Hindi ako sumagot.
What's the purpose of being married kung magdi-divorce rin naman? Just like what happened to me and Diego. We were so happy in love then isang araw ay nabagok na lang ang ulo niya at nagising siyang hindi na ako mahal.
Or should I say nagsawa. Hindi ako naniniwalang minahal ako ng isang 'yon dahil ni wala akong nakitang emosyon sa mga mata niya nang pinapirma niya ako ng papel.
"Why don't you try Caleb? He's a good man." I shrugged.
"Diego was a good man, too. You used to like him for me when we were in College." I slightly laughed bago umupo sa swivel chair ko.
"I regretted that I pushed you to him."
"It was still my choice to love and to like him."
"Alam mo, Zia, hindi mo malalaman kung totoong naka-move on ka na kung hindi mo susubukang magmahal ng iba! Try mo lang! Iyong ex mo moved on na. May girlfriend na nga, e." I glared at her.
"So? It doesn't mean na mahal niya ang babaeng 'yon. Para namang hindi mo alam ang ugali ng Diego'ng 'yon. Hindi 'yon makakatagal ng ilang buwan na hindi nakakadilig." Tumawa siya kaya natuon ang atensyon ko sakanya.
"Based on experience?" Kumunot ang noo ko.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Duh! Based on experience, I mean kung lagi niyo 'yong ginagawa noon! Kilalang kilala, ah? Ilang buwan nga kayong kasal noon? Lima? So, ilang beses niyong ginawa?" Inirapan ko siya. I don't want ro remember! "Dali na!"
"I don't know! Hindi ko na mabilang and hindi ko na maalala!" Humalakhak siya.
"Utot! Don't tell me hindi mo namimiss ang gano'ng bagay? The way he kissed your lips, your neck, your chest, your tummy, your-"
"Shut up, Paula! Nakakakilabot ka! Hindi mo ba naririnig ang sinasabi mo? Kadiri!" Mas lalo siyang humalakhak.
"So, gaano nga kasi kadalas kayong mag-sex noon? Dali! I just want to know." I rolled my eyes at pasimpleng inalala kung gaano ba kadalas noon.
"I don't know basta walang linggo na hindi namin ginagawa 'yon and of course, kapag may period ako, no sex."
"Oh shit! Sana all! 'Yan ang napapala ng mga taong masagana ang sex life, natitigang ng ilang taon-"
"Crizia." Sabay kaming napatalon ni Paula sa gulat nang biglang sumulpot si Diego! Oh my gosh!
"B-boss!" Napatayo ako.
Holyshitttt! Narinig niya ba? Nakita niya ba? Narinig niya ba ang sinabi ko o ni Paula? Baka isipin niya inaalala ko pa ang past! No way!
"What are you doing here, boss?" Tanong ko sabay dampot ng folder para tignan kung may schedule ba siya ngayon. "Do you need anything? You have no schedule for today, but tommorow, you have six meetings to attend."
"Cancel it." Napatanga pa ako sakanya bago ako tumango at nilagyan ng 'x' ang anim na 'yon. "I just want to ask if have you eaten?" Naubo si Paula pero hindi ko na siya tinapunan ng tingin.
"Yes, boss. I was planning and looking for someone who can guide Paula so... I let her stay here for awhile. I hope it's okay." Nasan kaya yung girlfriend niyang mukhang hito?
"Of course." Tumingin ito kay Paula pero bunalik rin sakin ang tingin. "Are you free tonight?"
"Oh..." Daing ni Paula.
"I don't think so... Dinner with Paula, why?"
"I want you to dine with me, Crizia." I arched my brow.
"You are committed, Boss. Why are you inviting me to have a dinner with you? You must ask your girlfriend instead of me." Umangat ang kilay niya kaya umiwas ako ng tingin. Bakit kaya ang gwapo niya kapag tinataas niya ang kilay niya?
"I want you." Naubo ako.
Memories came inside my head. The way he talks, parang kami pa rin. Ganyan rin siya noon kapag nagpapalambing kaya hindi ko maiwasang saglit na tumulala.
"I am committed, too." I saw his jaw moved before he nodded.
"Okay." Pagkatapos ay binagsak niya ang pinto na para bang galit pa.
"Crizia! Sinong boyfriend mo? Committed ka na? Bakit hindi ko alam? Don't tell me it was just for a show?!"
"'Wag kang maingay, boba!" Singhal ko.
Baka isipin ni Diego na it was just for a show nga. Anong iisipin niya kapag nalaman niya 'yon? Na ginawa ko 'yon para ipakita sakanyang nakalimutan ko na siya? It was so obvious kaya!
"Huy! Baliw ka na? Bakit sinasabunutan mo sarili mo? Oh my god, Zia! Don't tell me you're crazy?!"
"No! Nakakahiya lang! Baka narinig niya yung nga pinagsasasabi mo kanina! Baka kung anong isipin no'n." I looked at my wristwatch.
Nando'n pa kaya yung girlfriend niya?
Someone knocked.
"Come in." Biglang sumulpot ang lalaking nakasalamin. Tumikhim pa ito bago lumapit.
"Miss Secretary, this is the summary report about Mr. Rivera's Restaurant at Philippines." Inabot niya sakin ang folder. "He told me to give this to you so you can give this to him."
Mariin akong napapikit. Ang arte niya! Pinagpasahan pasahan pa namin.
"Okay. Thank you."
Nanatili si Paula maliit na opisina ko habang chineck ko ang report bago ako nagpasyang dalhin na sa opisina ni Diego ang report na 'yon.
I knocked first pero walang sumasagot so I decided to open it without his words.
Then I saw him with his girlfriend. Kissing. His girlfriend were holding his hands, trying to control him.
Para akong tinanggalan nang hininga nang makita kong naghahalikan sila. Why are they kissing?! Office hours pa! And why do I have this feeling na nasasaktan? Na para bang niloloko niya ako kahit hindi naman na kami kasal.
Mahinang tinulak ni Diego ang babae. Pero humabol pa ng halik and babae dito bago ako napansin na nasa pinto.
He was so pale. Gulat na gulat dahil nandito ako.
