natutuwa ako sa comments niyo hihi napakaactive! mas naiinspire me mag write dahil sa inyo, thank you sm!! mahal kayo ng robredo family!! wag kalimutan mag drink water, stay hydrated and enjoy, readers!
Mabilis na natapos ang meeting pero inabot din kami ng halos isa at kalahating oras. Agad din akong tumayo para mag paalam kina Engineer Valdez. Tricia is waiting alone.
"I'm amazed, Architect." Aniya at kinamayan ako.
Inabot ko naman ito at tipid na ngumiti sa kaniya. "Thank you, Sir."
Tumango tango siya and he tapped my shoulders. Lumapit siya sa tenga ko at bumulong.
"I heard Vice President Leni's middle child is here," he said. "Where's the other one? Jillian, am I right?"
Nang marinig ko 'yon ay agad na nag igting ang tenga ko. He's always like this tuwing matatapos ang meeting.
"Jillian is not here, Sir."
"Then who's here? The Doctora of the family? Doctora Tricia?"
I tried to remain calm. "Yes, Sir."
"I see, I heard from my son nandito raw s'ya,"
Hindi ako sumagot.
"My son likes her,"
"I didn't bring Tricia here para pag piyestahan siya,"
He laughed and slapped my arms nang pabiro. "Arki, kalma. Hindi naman sa ganon. You know, inaadore lang siya ng anak ko,"
Sa gitna nang pag uusap namin ay bumukas ang pinto at pumasok 'yong lalaki kanina. Lumapit siya sa amin.
"Arki, meet my son," he started at inakbayan 'yong lalaki. "Miguel, from your engineering department. Greet him, anak." utos niya.
"Good evening, Architect."
Inaabot niya sa akin ang kamay niya pero tinitigan ko lang ito. Binalik ko ang tingin ko kay Engineer Valdez.
"I already met him a few hours ago,"
"Really? That's great, madali mo s'yang mailalakad kay Doctora Tricia,"
"I like her, Arki. I heard Doc Tricia is single naman daw po,"
Nilagay ko ang kamay ko sa bulsa ng pants ko at tinitigan silang mag ama. I looked at them from head to toe.
Mag ama nga, magkaugali rin, e.
"What do you think, Arki? I think they're a really great match!" He laughed and tapped my shoulders.
"Stop touching me," I warned him. "With all due respect, Sir," I turned my gaze to his son. "And to you, honestly speaking, I think Doc Tricia is not interested to have a thing with you."

"Architect!?" Engineer Valdez shouted. Lahat ng tao sa kwartong 'yon ay napatingin.
"If you don't have any more important thing to say, I'll go now."
After I said that, lumabas na ako. Nakakairita ang ugali nilang dalawa. Kahit kay Jillian noon ay ginawa 'yan ni Engineer Valdez, doon sa isa pang anak niya. Ano bang akala niya sa magkapatid na 'to? Madali makuha?
Hindi sa ayaw kong magkaroon ng love life si Jill noon, at si Tricia ngayon. Pero iba ang dating ng Miguel na 'yon. Iba ang tingin n'ya kay Tricia, 'yon bang hindi naman pure ang intention and for fun lang?
May sense ba yung naiisip ko?
"Gets mo ba ako?" I asked my secretary who's walking beside me.
"Po?" Gulat s'yang napatingin sa akin.
"Argh, ewan ko, ang gulo sabihin mo na lang gets mo ako,"
"Arki?" She looked at me, confused. "Sige po, gets ko po kayo."
I sighed. I need to calm. I'll make sure hindi makakalapit 'yong dalawang iyon sa magkapatid.
Natawa ako nang makita ko ang comment ni Ate Aiks and Tita, nag kukulitan pa sila. Napakabagets talaga ni Tita, lagi niya nasasakyan trip namin.
I checked my messages nang makita ko ang comment ni Jill.
Habang papunta sa office ay nagkaemergency bigla sa isang department at need ko 'yong puntahan agad. Inutusan ko ang secretary ko na puntahan si Tricia at sabihan ito na maya maya pa ako.
Dumiretso agad ako sa office nang maayos 'yong emergency. When I opened the door, I saw Tricia lying in the couch, sleeping.
I signaled my secretary na wag na pumasok dahil baka magising si Tricia. Dahan dahan akong lumapit sa kaniya at lumuhod sa tabi niya.
I looked at her. Every details of her face is.. attractive.
I was busy looking at her when she suddenly slowly opened her eyes. "Huwag mo akong titigan, baka matunaw ako n'yan,"
Agad akong napatayo nang marinig 'yon.
Ano 'yon, Y/N? Nakakahiya.
"Uh yeah, hey," Hindi ko alam ang idadahilan ko. "I was just.. I was just thinking baka nakakaabala salamin mo, alisin ko sana,"
Yes, that's it.
"Really, Y/N?" She said and raised her brow while trying to pigil her tawa.
Umupo ako sa upuan ng table ko at tinalikuran si Tricia. I feel like my face is so red dahil sa kahihiyan.

"Hmm, sige puwede mo naman ako titigan since I'm "your girl" naman." She said emphasizing the words "your girl" at hindi na napigilan ang tawa.
She's obviously making fun of me. I said it lang naman para tigilan s'ya ni Miguel.
"That's "my friend", not that," palusot ko.
"If you say so," sagot niya, mocking my answer palagi sa kaniya kapag nag dedeny siya.
"Arki," we heard someone knocked.
"Come in,"
Nang pumasok ang secretary ko ay agad na tumayo si Tricia at binati ito.
"Ay Doc, ikaw po pala 'yan. Ang ganda niyo po sa personal," puri nito.
"Nako, hindi naman. Tubig lang 'to," she joked at natawa sila pareho. "You look good also!"
I smiled a bit. Tricia really is a shy type person, but I like her playful sense of humor. Parang kapag siya ang kausap mo, hindi ka maboboring.
Mahuhulog ka.
Matapos nilang mag batian saglit ay nakita kong palabas si Tricia. "Where are you going?"
She looked back at me. "Uhm will go out muna? Baka may importante kayong pag uusapan,"
"Stay here, maupo ka lang,"
Sumunod naman siya at lumapit sa akin 'yong secretary ko. Meron lang siyang inabot na mga files na pinapabasa sa akin at kailangan kong pirmahan.
Ang dami na naman, puwede bang wag na 'tong basahin? Pirmahan na lang lahat?
Kaso baka 'di ko mamalayan marriage certificate na pala 'to. Makasal pa ako wala sa oras.
Sa isang tao ko lang naman gusto ikasal.
I looked at Tricia. "Mag phone ka muna, I'll read this lang then we'll eat,"
"My phone is.. lowbat," she said at pinakita sa akin 'yong phone niya na hindi na mabuksan.
Kinuha ko 'yong phone ko at inabot 'yon sa kaniya. "Use this for the mean time,"
Tinignan niya lang iyon at hindi kinukuha. "Take it, you can watch movies or what ever you want,"
"Kahit ano?"
I nodded at kinuha niya ito habang nakangiti.
Mukhang may balak 'to, ah.
Hinayaan ko na lang s'ya ron at nag simula nang mag basa. Medyo nagugutom na rin ako kaya I want to finish this as soon as possible.
Aksidente kong nabuksan ang twitter account ko sa laptop and I saw Tricia tweeted something using my account.
Gosh, this girl.
Tumayo si Tricia at lumapit sa akin. Inaabot niya 'yong phone.
"Jillian wants to talk to you raw saglit,"
I sighed after talking to Jillian. At some point, naiintindihan ko rin kung bakit s'ya nag aalala. Kung ako rin naman, ayokong hindi kami ang mag sasabi sa kanila. Lalo na kay Tricia.
Ibinalik ko sa kaniya 'yong phone matapos kong gamitin.
"Ikaw ha, ang dami mo na agad stolen pictures ko!" Asar niya.
I rolled my eyes. "For your information, Ma'am I took it kasi mahilig ako mag picture,"
"Really? You love photography?"
I nodded while reading.
"What kind of picture do you usually take?" She asked while scrolling.
"Views. Beautiful views mostly,"
"Then.." she stopped at lumapit sa lamesa ko. Umupo siya sa upuan sa harap ng table at inilagay ang kamay sa baba niya habang nakatingin sa akin.
"Am I a beautiful view for you?"
As much as I want and try to deny it, I can't. Her side profile is just fascinating. Most of my stolen pictures of her ay side profile n'ya.
Hindi ko 'yon pinansin pero hanggang ngayon ay nakatingin siya sa akin.
"Stop looking," saway ko.
"Why? Give me a valid reason why, Architect."
What the fuck.
Tricia calling me Architect with her stares and very soft voice.
I can't, Lord.
"It's.."
"What? It's what?"
"It's distracting, stop it. I can't read nang maayos,"
"Really? That's it? That's your reason?"
Bigla siyang tumayo at lumapit sa akin.
Palapit nang palapit, palakas nang palakas ang kabog ng dibdib ko.
Eto na naman tayo, Lord.
Hindi niya inaalis ang tingin sa akin. Tuloy lang siya sa paglalakad palapit at nang tuluyan siyang makalapit ay inilapit naman niya ang mukha niya.
I gulped.
Lord, help.
Napakalapit namin sa isa't isa. Isang maling galaw, maglalapat ang labi namin. I can smell her again.
I closed my eyes.
Shet, bahala na.
Nagulat ako nang maramdaman ko ang hininga niya sa bandang tenga ko at nag salita siya.
"I'm hungry, matagal ka pa ba?"

Meeting myself
Canceled (This was my first attempt at a story and while I really enjoyed it, I lost track of the thread of the story. The MC was too op, and except for some fun slice of life moments it just wasn't a very good plot. Anyway, I may come back and re-write this in the future because I really enjoyed the premise, but for now don't expect updates.)I've never met Karma; or at least I think I haven't. Hope, really, because I'm pretty sure she hates me. You see, the thing is, I've always hated flying. When you don't wind up getting molested (cavity searched), then your bags get lost, or you spend the entire flight sitting next to a crying baby. This flight was even worse than any of those things. You see, this flight killed me. I won't spoil it, but lets just say, Karma owes me a few explanations. NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE, deserves to die like that. Of course, that wasn't the end of my adventure, far from it. But, you'll just have to read the story to learn about that.(This is a mature fiction, so far their hasn't been anything overtly bad (some minor sexual innuendo and drug use), but their will be plenty of blood, gore, sex, all that good stuff... eventually)
