Paglabas ko ng pinto ng HR office nakita kong nakatayo si Gun sa gilid habang nakasandal sa pader, nakakrus ang mga kamay sa dibdib at nakangiti sa akin.
I bit my lower lip and run to him, pagyakap ko sa kanya at binuhat niya ako at dinala sa isang gilid kung saan walang mga empleyado. "Pasok ako Beb!!!" masayang sambit ko at niyakap siya ng sobrang higpit.
"I know," he said kaya tinignan ko siya, "Alam mo agad?" nagtataka kong tanong, ang bilis naman.
"No, I mean I know you can do it" he said and urge a kiss, binaba niya ako pero hindi tinigilan ang aking labi.
After a second "Ehem" mabilis ko siyang tinulak ng may umubo sa likuran namin. "This is a working place not a motel Tyson," it's Kace, nakasuot ng salamin at may mga papeles na dala, inayos ko ang aking sarili at nahihiyang nginitian siya.
"I know Lennon, but can you mind your own business," Gun said to grab my hand, "Panggulo," he said nang lagpasan namin si Kace. "I heard that jerk," Kace said.
Tumawa na lang kami ni Gun at naglakad papunta sa elevator, "I'll show you my office Beb," he said at pinindot ang 12th floor. Pagbukas ng elevator wala masyadong tao dito iilan lang at busy pa sa kanya-kanya nilang lamesa.
Pumasok kami ni Gun sa kulay Navy blue na modern door at pagbukas nito, Navy blue, black and white ang theme ng opisinang ito.
"Sayo ito?" tanong ko at umikot ang tingin sa buong paligid, sobrang minimal at linis ng opisinang ito, I doubt na siya ang naglilinis nito, that won't happen.
"Yup pero dahil medyo maraming trabaho sa labas, madalas akong nasa labas at sa mga branches or sites hindi ako madalas mag stay dito but I'm giving you this" he gave me a spare key.
"Starting on Monday, you can go here and stay whenever you like, also look I have this" hinila niya ako sa gilid kung saan may bookshelf. "We have a mini-refrigerator here where I put your velvet cookies and cinnamon rolls and bubble gum ice cream that you like. Sobrang daming stock ng mga paborito kong pagkain at snacks.
"And here" may binuksan siyang drawer na may lamang---, "Your sanitary pads stocks and my extra hoodie in case your cold of any other situation that you might need it, hinanda ko na lahat, also the hot compress you always use on your dysmenorrhea, I have it there on the other drawer," hindi makapaniwala ko siyang tinignan, I mean sanay naman akong binibilhan at pinagdadalhan niya ako ng pads pero para magkaroon siya ng stock sa opisina niya, that's different and heart melting.
"Hindi ka ba mahihiya Beb pag nakita ito ng ibang tao, Lalaki ka pero ang stock mo dito sa opisina mo ay sanitary pads" sambit ko at tumawa.
"Why would I be shy about it? Ang importante lang naman sa akin is that this stock would make you feel better if ever you're on your red days during working hours, kahit wala ako dito at nasa sites at ibang meetings at least nandito mga hinanda ko para sayo," Oh how God is so nice to me, giving me this man of my life.
I lean closer and give him a peck on the lips, "Thank you so much, I love you," I said and smiled.
"Also, I will give my graduation gift now, since nakapasok ka na dito sa Delavine's" He said and got something in his pocket.
He gave me a key for what??
"Ano ito?" tanong ko, "Beb naman susi yan hindi mo ala---,"
"I know, what I mean is for what? Another extra spare key for this office?" tanong ko at tinignan kung magkapareho ang dalawa pero hindi.
"That's the key to our condo" so this is a key to our condo-----What?!
"Condo!!?!?" sambit ko at ngumiti lang siya sakin.
"Our condo? Susi ng condo natin?" hindi makapaniwala kong sambit. Anong ibig sabihin nito.
Inabot ni Gun ang dalawa kong kamay at seryoso akong tinignan, "I know naguguluhan ka, but I already think about this for almost 3 years and pinagipunan ko ito Beb so no worries. Since I started working here and know that you will work here someday, naisip ko na why not investing my money to a condo that we could stay in when you started working here na, I mean aminin natin medyo malayo ang bahay niyo papunta dito sa kumpanya and I know it's hassle lalo na pagnaabutan tayo ng traffic, kaya pinagipunan ko na ito at ngayon tatanungin kita..." I gulp after what he said and I know where is this conversation gonna end.
"Will you live with me on the same roof?" he asks and smiles, tumawa ako at, "It's like you're asking me to marry you" I tease him.
"Pagiipunan ko pa lang yon Beb," sagot niya at sabay kaming tumawa. "So, what's your answer?" he asked.
"Oo, ok lang sa akin, pero tinanong mo na ba sila Mama?" mabilis siyang tumango at pinakita sa akin ang phone niya.
Tinext niya si Mama kagabi!!!
From Mamatita,
Ok na Ok lang sa akin anak, matatanda na kayo. At tama na rin na magkasama kayo ni Sienna dahil mas lalo akong magiging busy dito sa business kaya hindi ko rin siya maasikaso sa bahay.
Pumayag is Mama, "How about my brother?" I said.
Mabilis inangat ni Gun ang sleeve ng dresser shirt niya at pinakita sa akin ang isang malaking pasa sa kanyang braso."Saan galing ito!!!" gulat kong sambit at dahan-dahang hinawakan ang kanyang braso.
"Your brother punched me when I tell him na ibabahay na kita pero sa huli pumayag din siya kapalit ng investment ko sa Bar niya," so bar investment lang pala ang kapalit para pumayag ang kuya ko.
"I guess, wala na akong dahilan para tumanggi dahil mismong pamilya ko na ang pumayag," nakangiti kong sambit.
"At kahit ayaw mong pumayag ibabahay pa rin kita noh," he said and hugged me.
"Kailan tayo maglilipat?" tanong ko habang patuloy ang pagyakap niya sa akin.
"Bukas."
