"Good morning Andrea! I brought you breakfast." I entered her office knowing she just came. She's probably confuse of my action because, she rejected me for how many times already for me to get back at her office again and offer her breakfast. " I brought you Garlic Fried Rice and longanisa, your favorite breakfast. You probably skip your meal since work is too early." I stated casually.
"Thanks but I'm not hungry right now. Please just give it to other employees outside." Andrea instantly replied trashing my breakfast offer.
"Just eat it when I leave. You probably don't want to accept it since it's from me. But please do since it's for the baby. Take care of yourself, that's the only way we can make sure the kid inside you is healthy." I opened the package and show the for to her. I place it on her table. The moment I opened the wrap, the look on her face shows squamish. I don't understand it as well but when she stood up and started vomitting before she get to the toilet, I realize my mistake. I should have investigate more to get what food she likes lately since her preference changed so much because of the baby. I hand her the paper towels and a bottle of distilled water, which she accepted. I can't stop apologizing. I took the food as she asked. So she hates garlic now. Now I know, next time I won't order food with strong scent of garlic. That visit is a failure. After that encounter, I asked Talia of the diet Andrea is under lately so I can send her what she wants. She suggested fruit platter, water melon and papaya mostly. She likes cherry and strawberry which is not always available, these fruits are seasonal. Hopefully my secretary can find them at the grocery nearby.
"Sir I manage to get you strawberries of great quality, look they are so red and sweet. I already try it." Candy my secretary handy me like 2 kilos of it. Suddenly I want strawberries too. I took half a kilo for myself and send the rest to Andrea. I think of her while I enjoy my strawberry, I hope she likes it just like how I like it.
"Did she like the strawberries?" I asked Candy curious how she reacted with my gift.
"She accepted it Sir. I didn;t see if she eats them so I don't know." She answered. "But you know Sir, that's automatically the case, if she accepted it then that means she has plan of trying them. I know the berries are sweat so she will definitely like them." Candy excitedly answered. After 2 hours I sent Candy back to check if the strawberries are less than when she brought them. She reported back and told me, that Andrea is currently snacking the berries with her friend Talia on her office. I'm happy to hear that.
Gosh, the whole day I'm thinking of food. Andrea left early. Talia informed me that they will go shopping after work. She sent me pictures of baby items as part of her reports of Andreas whereabouts and activities. They are at the mall. How I wish, I can be there too and enjoy that moment with her. A picture of small pair of shoes melts my heart so much. They're very cute. My kid would look so great on it.
