Ion's POV

I'm still worried about Marie, I think she's hiding something from me but I can't figure it out.

I'm also worried about her visit to her grandmother.

Ilang sandali, Ivee came in dala
ang minutes na inorganize nya, at
ang subway sandwich na pina-order ko.

I can't bring myself to eat our
breakfast earlier.

"Sir.. what's wrong with you?
namumutla ka ata?" tanong ni
Ivee.

"Im not sure either" tipid kong sagot at bigla kong naisipang itanong ang tungkol kay Marie.

"Ivee.. you came with Marie for a
check up right? what's wrong with her?" tanong ko and she gave me a wondering look at ilang sandali, she suddenly smile.

What the hell was that?

"Im sure she's doing fine, there's
nothing to worry about... I promise" said but I am dying to know now.

"Oo nga pala, someone is looking for you, she didn't book an appointment but she insisted that you know her,she's Issa Guimary" dagdag nya.

"Really? how come she's here?"
tanong ko naman but I better come
Out now.

Issa is one of my classmate when
I was in U.S. Paglabas ko ng office I
didn't expect to see her immediately and she suddenly hug me out of excitement.

"It's been a long time Ion" she said excitingly and I just saw Ivee
glaring at me kaya napakalas ako sa yakap nya.

"What made you come here?" tanong ko sakanya and I invited her inside my office and asked Ivee to serve us some coffee.

"I actually have business with you but it can wait... so kumusta ka na?you never call" she said sitting in the Couch.

"You know that it's not my thing...so what business are you talking about?" tanong ko naman.

"Hindi mo lang man ba ako
kukumustahin?" tanong nya.

"Im sure you're doing well" tipid
kong sagot sakanya and she slightly laugh.

"Okay.. didirestsohin na kita.
I actually need your help for a
statistical research and only you can help me considering your experience in the field"paliwanag nya and she gave me the document about it.

I read the content and it's really
interesting but it needs a lot of time to focus to make it done.

"I still have to think about it " sagot ko sakanya.

"Off course, since you have to
sacrifice a bit of your time to do this research" sagot nya naman.

"But I can lend you a room for the research though" dagdag ko naman Ilang sandali, Ivee came in with our coffees.

"Ivee can you check my schedule
if I could spare some time for this research?" sabi ko at binigay ko sakanya ang document about the research.

"Ahhh. Sir? How about asking your wife first since you have to spent more time with her " sagot ni Ivee after she took a quick look on the research.

"You're married?" takang-taka
namang tanong ni Issa and it
reminds me that I haven't mention
about it to her yet.

"Kelan lang?" tanong nya naman.

"It's almost a year now" sagot ko at napatahimik nalang sya bigla.

"I probably have to ask my wife
first... she's not feeling well these
past few days" paliwanag ko.
