Every breath
"We're gonna stay there?!"
"Ang oa, zofi! for a months lang siguro.. tama ba, fierah?" tumingin naman sa 'kin ang dalawa, waiting for my confirmation. ano ba 'yan, ako pa kasi ang ginawang lead sa site na 'yon kaya tambak na gawain na naman ang pinatong sa 'kin!
"Well, oo. ang layo rin kasi ng Baguio... mahirap din naman kung pabalik-balik tayo ro'n, 'di ba?" tumango naman ang dalawa, pumasok naman si engineer cruz who is also one will manage to the upcoming building for baguio. "meeting ulit tayo around 6 P.M, tapos baka next month baka pumunta na rin tayo sa baguio.."
Zofia face palmed after hearing that, "bakit kailangan pa 'ko ro'n?! iwan niyo na 'ko rito sa manila.. please?" she pleaded.
"Alam mo, zofi. madali lang mag-file ng resignation, amin na pipirmahan ko na agad resignation mo kahit wala pa." sarkastikong sinabi ko, napanguso naman ang babae as she crossed her arms.
Iniwan na kami ng dalawa rito sa office ko kaya nagkaro'n kami ng sariling oras ni alex para mapag-usapan ang plano ro'n, isa rin siya sa makakasama ko. "Ikaw, fe? 'di ka ba nababahala? akala ko nagbabalak din kayo ni styx magtayo ng sariling bahay?"
I bit my lower lip, "kaya nga eh.. balak pa sana namin this year na masimulan 'yung construction especially nkahanap na kami ng place... pero wala eh, sa 'kin binigay 'yung planning." I don't want to run away from my responsibilities here in the company, as i said, bigatin din ito kaya hindi ko dapat tanggihan 'to.
"Si zofi, bakit ayaw non sumama?" I curiously asked.
"'Di mo alam? ikakasal na 'yan next month, 3 weeks na rin buntis 'yon eh."
Oh.. ikakasal na pala sila..
I lighten the mood inside my office to bring some random questions to alex, "ikaw? kamusta engagement ninyo? isama mo 'ko sa bachelorette mo ha!"
She flip her hair as a joke while replying. "well.. doing good! at tyaka ano ka ba! kayo nina kiya at solane ang una kong i-invite 'no!" napangiti naman ako ro'n sa sinabi niya, grabe.. kahit si sol ay engaged na rin.. ang bilis talaga ng panahon.
After alex left inside my office, kinuha ko ang papel mula sa cabinet ko, a draft drawing to styx and I's soon to be home.
A smile went visible on my lips just remembering that styx and i will have our own home now, grabe.. the future that we both wanted to have is slowly progressing.
"You'll visit the site in Caloocan? why?"
Tumingin ako saglit kay kiya nang palabas na kami sa kompanya, "May ibibigay lang ako sa engineer.. ikaw naka-assign do'n 'di ba? pasabay ko na lang kaya sa 'yo 'to?"
Tumango naman ito. "yeah sure! I'll update you later!" bumeso pa ito sa 'kin bago ito makapasok sa kotse niya, but before she could even enter inside, hinawakan ko ang pulsulan nito. "hoy Kiya, okay ka lang?"
Tumawa naman ito, "is that sarcasm ba?"
Umiling naman ako. "No, a genuine question.. I just know everything must've been tough for you, nandito lang ako ah?" ngumiti naman ako sa kaniya, hoping my words can at least give her clarity.
"Thanks, Fierah. I'll treasure your words, don't worry. I gotta go now! bye!"
Pumasok na rin ako sa kotse ko para makauwi na rin so condo, wala naman na 'ko dapat problemahin pa at maaga rin natapos ang trabaho ko. I guess, I should just prepare for my long vacation at Baguio.
As the traffic light blushed red, my eyes were drawn to the masterpiece unfolding beyond the glass. The sky was ablaze with the fiery hues of sunset, each color a brushstroke of brilliance against the fading light.
