MADDIE Point of view
"Darion it's none of your business, we're here for a business matter sir." Pairap kong sabi, trying so hard not to let our eyes meet.
"Why can't you answer my question?" nakikita ko ang panlulumo sa mga mata nya, I can't believe this!
"Let's continue the meeting sir, I still have something to do." walang emosyon kong sabi na nasa mga papeles pa din ang mga tingin.
"Fine. here's my proposal. You know how to read, right? So, I think hindi ko na kaylangang basahin pa 'yan para sayo," napairap ako, tho hindi n'ya iyon nakita. Nakakainis talaga ang lalaking to'.
I sighed out of frustration, I'm trying so hard not to land my fist on his face.

Nasa kalagitnaan kami ng pag uusap about sa Salary nya ng may kumatok nanaman. Napa buntong hininga nalamang ako.
"Doc Raish is here," inis akong napatingin sa pinto. Though hindi iyon nakikita ni Ashniya.
bwiset talaga ang babaeng to'!
"Could you tell him to wait just for a minute or two? Ashniya, kating kati na ang kamao kong dumapo dyan sa mukha mo," mariin kong sabi, I heard someone's chuckled sa may gawi nila.
"Excuse me Ms.Aslron we're in the middle of a meeting," seryosong sabi naman ni Darion, napairap nalang ako. Myghosh!
"As I was saying, Attorney Darion, we'll offer you a contract for your salary but, you can name it right now and we'll think about that," seryosong sabi ko, I saw him smirk, what's wrong with this man?
"Hmm.. 500,000 thousand Pesos a day will be," nakangisi nitong sabi, inis ko syang tiningnan. Seriously?
"I'm not here to play with your jokes Attorney, could you please be serious?" inis kong sabi, he smirked again! Sa inis ko ay binalibag ko muli sakanya ang isa pang libro sa tabi ko. Agad naman itong nakaiwas.
"Hey Ms.Aslron that's not appropriate!" painosenteng sabi nito, I glared at him.
"How dare you say those words? What's appropriate then? talking with someone with a smirk flastered on my lips? Tell me attorney," seryosong sabi ko habang masama parin ang tingin sa kaniya at nakataas ang isang kilay.
ಠಿ_ಠ.
"Okay sorry, about the salary half a million a month will do. But as what you said a while ago, pag usapan nyo muna ang about don. Anyway is there something else that we need to talk about?" seryoso na nitong sabi, pabuntong hininga kong tiningnan muli ang mga papeles.
"I think that's all. My secretary will contact you sir after our board meeting within this week. Good afternoon sir and good-bye," masungit kong paalam, pagkatapos n'yon ay tumayo na agad ako. Hindi na ako nag abala pang ayusin ang gamit sa table ko.
Hindi n'ya pa pwedeng makita sa Raile, not now.
"Raile, let's go to my office," I said when I reached his arms, tumango lamang ito at sumunod sakin.
"Mom I thought you're talking with daddy," inosente nitong sabi. Napapikit na lamang ako ng mariin. Remind me to kill Ashniya after this.
"No anak not now," I replied, still in a hurry.
"Mom are you hiding me from him?"napahinto ako sa paglalakad. Fvck Ash!
"No anak why would I do that?" nakangiti kong sabi sa kaniya, faked smile.
"My dad is a lawyer right?" pabuntong hininga akong tumango.
"Yes anak. Let's go," I said still faking a smile in front of my son.
"Like him..." Natigilan ako at unti unting hinarap ang itinuturo ng anak ko. Fvck!
"Y-yes a-anak..." utal kong sabi. I saw how Darion's face get dark and darkened. His Jaw is clenching like isang maling salita nalamang ay sasabog na ito. Mariin ang pag kakatitig n'ya samin ng anak ko.
"Your name is Raile?" napapikit ako ng mariin ng unti unti siyang lumapit samin at kinausap ang anak ko.
"Yes Sir!" masiglang sagot naman ni Raile, I don't know but I can't move. Really.
"Maddie..... -"
