The Way I Remember Us.

Recover and Recovering.

After 1 day.
Liz returned to her work.
After the lunch break she had with Kael and some other colleagues, they all returned to their tables.
Liz loptop was open and she saw an email.
She sat down on her chair and opened the email.
It was from Mr. Rolito Escobar saying. 'Sorry what had happened the other time, if it's possible. I'm available tomorrow. We could meet.'
Liz was shocked and happy to read the email.
She yelled calling Dianne and tell her that she's going to meet Mr. Rolito Escobar tomorrow.
Dianne was really happy for her. "Wow! That's really nice, Liz! I'm glad you've made it finally."
Manny was walking around and yelled also that he's happy for Liz and congratulating her.

Francis also exited his office with a folder on his hand and reading its papers.
Dianne called out to Francis. "Deputy. Meron na ulit tayong appointment with Mr. Escobar bukas."
Francis smiled and looked to Liz. "I see. That's great! You should do your best out there."
Liz looked at Francis too and said with aloud voice. "Of course yes!"
"Pero pwede ba, make sure na walang magiging aberya. Hanggat maari sa mga open area na lang kayo or sa place niya mismo." Francis said with slight of worry and it was shown on his face.

Elaine stand up and slowly walked while circling the hair ends of her hair and said. "Ohh.. sounds like you're worrying Mr. Dep, nakakainggit naman si Liz."
Julie stands too and pulled Elaine back and whispered. "Ano na naman yang sinasabi mo?! Ikaw talaga. Binibigyan mo ng kulay ang lahat."
Elaine smirked with emotionless face. "Bakit? Obvious na obvious naman ah. Saka normal lang na mag-aalala boss natin kasi dahil nga sa nangyari nitong nakaraan lang."
Julie hits Elaine's head lightly. "Alam mo naman pala eh. Bakit parang bitter ka?!"
Elaine started to walk again and said murmuring. "Sana all kasi may nag-aalala."

Liz smiled and said. "Nothing to worry about na. Magiging okay na talaga lahat."
Francis smiled also to Liz.
But when they realized that they were both starting to be like close at each other again.
Liz smiled fading slowly and for Francis as well.
Liz looked back at her loptop while Francis turned his back.
Kael witnessed the awkwardness between the two and he shook his head while clicking his tongue. "Kasi kasi naman." He murmured.
Francis left the the department and thinking to have his lunch break.

*****

Allan and Renz are in Allan's office.
They've just returned after the lunch meeting.
Allan is removing his suit and hanged it on the coat rack and said while loosening his necktie. "Naayos mo na ba ang pinapagawa ko sayo this coming Saturday?" He said.
"Renz smiled so wide. "Of course naman po President, ako pa ba? Okay na po.. nakareserve na po sa inyo ni Liz ang área. No one will get in except for the workers and just you and Liz."
Allan smiled.
He sat down on his chair and leaned back and look up. "I'm glad. Mabuti naman at mabilis mong nagawa. I can't wait for Saturday to come fast."
Renz walked a little closer to Allan. "President. Hindi naman sa nanghihimasok ako no, pero manghihimasok na ko talaga. (Allan looked at Renz with a frowned reaction.) Kayo po ba ay aamin na? I mean sa feelings niyo po at ipapakilala ang sarili na ikaw po talaga ang Allan na hinihintay niya."
Allan smiled so lovely.
Like a kilig and thrilled just pinched his heart. "Yes, Renz. I won't wait or hesitate any longer. I must say it. Tutal matagal na nga din siyang naghintay. Ayoko namang dumating ang araw na bigla na lang na nagsawa na siya, at baka kay Kael pa siya mahulog ng tuluyan." Allan explained.
"Kay Kael po? Yung katrabajo ni Liz. Alam mo President, mabait din yung taong yun eh. Malalim din po ang concern nun kay Liz. Saka abangers pala yun?" Renz said while his thinking of Kael's face.
Allan was about to asked if Renz knows Kael personally.
"Ooppss.. alam ko na itatanong mo. (Renz smiled a teasing one.) Sa kwento lang po ni Sasha siempre mag-bff yung dalawa na yun, kaya marami silang chika sa buhay."
Allan chuckled happily. "Chica? Chica talaga? Parang sinabi mo na ring isa sa marites yang si Sasha mo."
"Naku po hindi po Mr. President. In fact nga po, she's still keeping the secret I told her about you."
Allan frowned and fall into curiosity.
Renz smiled started to fade and he felt a little nervous.
Allan stand up on his chair and asked Renz. "Anong alam ni Sasha? Anong mga nabanggit mo sa kanya?!"
Renz gullped and looked down. "Actually po, she just found out na kayo po si Allan na kaibigan ni Liz. (Allan's eyes widened in shock.") At saka sinabi ko na ring ikaw po talaga ang president naming lahat dito sa company."
"What?!" Allan yelled in low tone of voice and turned his back on Renz to walk around.
"May tiwala naman po ako kay Sasha boss eh.. alam kong hindi niya yun sasabihin, gaya nga po ng sinabi ko sa kanya na hihintayin namin na ikaw po ang mag spill ng katotohanan. (Then Renz remembered the night at the museum that they were having this conversation.) Kaya Mr. President. (Renz bowed down again and just whipered saying. "Sabihin niyo na, bago mas malaman niya pa sa iba, at baka lalo lang masaktan or maguluhan si Liz."
Allan bit his lip and turned to look on Renz and pinpoint a finger on him saying. "Huwag niyo kong pangunahang dalawa, I'll handle this myself. Understand?!"
Renz nodded with big eyes and gullped again the second time.
