Her Deceitful Adonis

Lesson 37

Avery Rain Santillan

Time passed by that fast. My last two months of training on Kyron's company became an incredible experience to me. Buti na lang at nagkasundo kaming dalawa na huwag na munang ipaalam ang patungkol sa relasyon naming dalawa.

He agreed on not telling anyone in the office about it however, he had his conditions. Isa na doon ang pagsusuot ko ng promise ring namin wherever I go.

"What? Anong sense ng hindi natin pagsasabi ng patungkol sa relasyon natin sa kanila kung susuotin ko naman pala yung singsing? Eh di ganun pa rin yun. Hindi ka lang gumawa ng vocal announcement!" Kastigo ko sa kanya pagkatapos naming magmake-out sa couch sa opisina niya.

"Tsk, if they asked you, you always have the choice to remain silent. As simple as that. You're not confirming nor denying anything. Just remain silent and let them think whatever they wanted to think." Simpleng sagot niya na akala ko napakadali lang ng pinapagawa niya. Subukan niya kayang kilalanin ang mga empleyado niya? Sa department pa lang namin umuulan na ng chismoso at chismosa na hindi titigil hanggat hindi nakakakuha o nakakarinig ng chismis o balita. Talo pa nila ang press people.

Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin. "Are you being serious right now Kyron or you're drunk right now? Tell me. Ginu-good time mo ata ako eh!"

"Of course not! My point is that, hindi tayo maglalabas ng confirmation about our relationship hanggat hindi natatapos ang OJT mo. On your last day of training, we'll do the announcement. I'm asking you to remain silent to save you from accusations of being a liar."

"Liar agad?!" Grabe din ang pagiging paranoid netong si Kyron. Sumubra naman ata.

Huminga siya ng malalim. Probably this topic is tiring him already but I won't stop not until we have settled ourselves with a concrete plan and final decision.

"I want you to think of this situation okey? Let's say that I agreed you wear the ring and people will start asking you. If you answered them with no, we don't have any relationship but eventually we'll make the announcement of us being together on your last day as trainee, what do you think they'll take you as for?"

Natameme ako sa analyzation niya. Ang layo ng narating ng pagiging paranoid niya! Umabot na siya sa future. Nagtime travel ba ang utak neto?

But somehow, I get his point. Tama rin naman siya pero sadyang madaling sabihin sa parte niya at mahirap sa akin dahil ako naman ang hindi titigilan ng mga chismosa at chismoso niyang empleyado. Hindi naman maglalakas ng loob ang mga yun na tanungin siya. Takot lang nilang masesante ni Kyron.

"Kung ako nga lang ang masusunod mas gusto kong sabihin na natin yung patungkol sa relasyon natin—"

I signalled him to stop speaking. "Hep! Fine. I agree with me wearing the ring anywhere, anytime, whenever, wherever or whatsoever! In agreement that you'll announce our relationship on the last day of my training."

He showed that victorious smile on his face. "Deal."

And the day that he's been waiting for finally came. Last day na ng pasok namin dito sa opisina nila at nakatambay na lang kaming trainees sa tenth floor. Wala na kaming trabaho and for formalities na lang talaga ang pagpasok namin ngayon.

"I'm congratulating all of you for a job well done. I hope your experience here at our company helped you in your respective fields." Mr. Culpabebe said.

Everyone shouted happily. Achievement nga namang matapos ang mala-impyerno naming OJT dito. One thing I learned while working here was stress management. Having a superior who's a lot terror than your professor definitely gave me a vaccine against the stress often given by professors.
