WARNING! Basta warning lang. Hahaha.
CHAPTER 21
SA OFFICE
"Come in." I told the person knocking at the door. Hindi ko ito nilingon dahil subsob ako sa trabaho. Narinig ko nalang na bumukas ang pintuan ng office.
"Ma'am Tanchingco, may delivery po para sa inyo." One of the front desk employees entered, holding a huge bouquet of white tulips. My favorite kind of flower. Only one person knows this.
"Kanino daw galing?" Tanong ko kahit alam ko na kung sino ang nagbigay.
"Ayaw daw pong magpakilala eh, pero may kasama pong card 'to."
Kinuha ko ang hawak-hawak niyang delivery. I thanked him and I saw that he slightly blushed. Natawa at napailing nalang ako nung mapansin kong dahan-dahan pa ang paglabas niya ng office na may kasamang pahabol na mga tingin. Yikes! Hahaha.
Inilapag ko ang mga bulaklak sa table ko at binasa ko ang card na kasama nito. The message was typewritten.
To the most beautiful person who captured my heart,
I love it when you make people smile, but I love it more when you make me happy. I love it when you appreciate even the small things people give and do for you, but I love it more when you don't realize that you're giving them something big in return. I love it when you take your work seriously, but I love it more when you just create doodles in your notepad and suddenly come up with a brilliant idea. I love it when you really try to be vocal with what you feel, but I love it more when you just express them through your actions.
I could tell you hundreds and thousands of things I love about you, but if you want to add them up... I'll tell the rest soon. All I'm saying is that, you don't have to because I can assure you that they'll just mean one thing – I LOVE YOU.
I had a huge smile on my face after reading the letter. Kinilig ako, malamang. Galing mambola nitong nagpadala eh. Hahaha.
After around 10 minutes...
"Wow naman, lablab. May manliligaw ka?" Tukso agad ni Althea pagkapasok niya sa loob ng office.
"Sus, kunwari pa siya." Natatawa kong sabi.
"Ha? Anong pinagsasasabi mo dyan, lab?" Maang-maangan niya.
"Ayy, hindi ba sayo galing 'to? Baka si Andrew (ung nagdala sakin ng bouquet kanina) ang nagbigay nito. Wait lang lab ha, puntahan ko muna siya. Pasalamatan ko lang." Loko ko sa kanya sabay tayo sa upuan ko para lumabas ng room.
Pinigilan naman kagad ako ni Althea nung malapit na ako sa pintuan. Hinawakan niya ako sa bewang at bigla akong niyakap ng mahigpit.
"Joke lang, lablab ko. Ikaw naman. Hindi na mabiro." Sabay bawi niya.
