4:00 p. m
Maaga palang ay nag out na kaming lahat sa opisina sa pahintulot na din ni Mr. Gabrielle.
We go to one of the famous samgyupsal restaurant and I of course order some soju, like girl k-drama vibes.
"Everyone". Marcus stand up from where he was seated.
"As you all know Valeria is my girlfriend and I was so happy about this promotion, to all who helped her thank you. Let's make a toast for Valeria". Everyone smiled and raise their glasses as they make a toast for me, it was a bit awkward especially coming from Marcus.
"Oh, honey I almost forgot I have a gift for you". Inabot sakin nito ang paper bag that actually kanina ko pa napapansin na hawak niya.
"Open it". I do as he say and it surprise me as I saw a pink channel bag, surprise me not in a good way. Why? cause as I lay my hand on the bag I knew it, it was a knock off, a copy, a fake.
I just ignored it and smiled at him.
"Thank you, I say and kiss him on cheeks". Playing pretend yes I am what can I do? I need to put a good image so when I broke up with him all the empathy will be mine.
"Yeah, that's an expensive bag". Emma said, she's a nwe entern at our company.
"Mr. Marcus, you are a real man for doing that". Samuel then said. Isa din sya sa mga bagong pasok sa kompanya.
Habang tumatangap ng mga papuri naka ngiti lang si Marcus, akala talaga nya hindi ko alam?
Sorry not sorry but boy you can't fool me again.
Natapos ang kasiyahan pasado 9:00 na ng gabi, nag uwian na din ang lahat at kasama ko nalang ngayon si Marcus. Magkaiba din naman kami ng direksyon kaya alam kong maya-maya lang ay aalis na din ito pag daan ng bus nya na sasakyan.
"Valeria". Napa lingon ako kay Marcus ng tawagin nito ang pangalan ko.
"What if I was cheating on you and you find out? What will you do?". Is he giving me a hint or what? Alam ko naman na yun eh but it was shocking that he was actually asking me that.
"Come on, I know you won't do that". I said smiling, I can see a guilt in his eyes. Does he realize now what he was doing?
He just then smiled and not long after that the bus came, sumakay na ako at saka nag paalam kay Marcus.
8:00 a. m
I came to work and at this point I was working on the product that I made, yes instantly I became the face of it for it's upcoming commercial.
"Can you pose like this, like this?". The lady ask while doing a pose asking me if I can do it. The pose was called "My tummy hurt". It's called like that by some people.
So I did the pose while holding the product, Mr. Gabrielle was also watching while we were shooting for the commercial.
We shoot several photos for the billboard and one literal commercial that will be air on every channel nationwide.
After the shoot I came out of the studio and Lexi was the first person who came to me.
"Can I talk to you?". Tanong pa nito.
I just nodded as a sign that I agree with her.
"Here, it's for you. Just a little gift". Wika nito sabay abot sakin ng paper bag na hawak nya.
Kinuha ko ang laman nito na naka kahon at tinignan, it was a black high heels and not just an ordinary heels but a prada one.
"Lexi? I-I think I can't accept it, this shoe is too expensive for me". I said and put back the shoe on the box and hand it over to Lexi, but she didn't accept it.
"Just accept please". Wika naman nito, ngunit masyadong mahal iyon para sa akin kaya pano ko ito ma tatangap?
"Let me just do this things for you, let me give you gifts whenever you accomplish something, let me adore you even just from a far and please let me just love you even if you don't love me". A sadness draw on her face.
"I know that since the last day that you cry on my shoulder you were then started to ignore me, I don't know what happened to you, but why? Did I do anything wrong?". She asked.
"You don't do anything wrong. But didn't you get the point Lexi?". I asked with my head now facing the floor.
"I don't want you to get hurt because of me, I don't want you to think that I was taking advantage of you, I know exactly how you feel about me and it hurts me when I get to hurt you too. I know that deep inside you were also wounded by me because all the time I cry on your shoulder because of a man". I said with my tears falling of.
She then lift my head and wipe the tears in my eyes.
"But do you know that it hurts me more when you didn't? Because I was thinking of you, I was thinking that...malamang sinosolo mo na naman ang problema mo. Valeria handa akong tiisin yung sakit na nararamdaman ko may masandalan ka lang sa tuwing kailangan mo, ganon ako ka handa para sayo. Didn't I tell you? I will wait for you even if that means I'll wait for you forever? So please let me take care of you, let me wait for you ". How can such a woman like her exist? She doesn't even know weather I will like her back or not.
Oh gosh I didn't deserve someone like her, she's an amazing person, an amazing woman.
" Thank you Lexi". I whispered in her ears as she wrapped me around her body.
Hinimas lang nito ang buhok ko at tila ba kinakalma ako sa lahat ng nagyari.
How I wish I can love her now, but I know that I need to heal myself first and I hope she can wait.
