Louisse Gorgonio

I inhaled deeply before entering the TJC office. Gosh! Na-sobrahan ata ang pagbukas ko sa pintuan, lahat sila ay nakatingin sa direksyon ko.

"A-ay. S-sorry..." Nag-peace sign ako.

Phew!

"Gorz! Lika na!"

Hindi ko na inalintana ang mag matang nakamasid sakin, dire-diretso akong pumasok sa boardroom.

"Good morning, gents."

Kumuha ako ng isang silya at umupo sa tabi ni Fritz.

"Good morning din. You look beautiful today."

Ew. Umagang-umaga, ganyan siya.

"Thank you."

Wag niyang sabihin na nagustuhan niya yun? Ew.

"Magsimula na tayo. Time is gold." Singit ko.

Wala naman ata kasi silang planong simulan. Nakatunganga lang.

"Right! So, what do you need?"

"I want your creativity in making the stage."

"Decoration? Sana pala yung taga-Fine Arts nalang kinuha niyo." Siniko ako ni Fritz. "What?"

"Mamaya ka na sumingit. Let's hear her first."

"Fine."

Geez! Anong connection ng decoration sa pinag-aralan namin?

"Actually, I want you to put some extra CCTV cameras sa bawat sulok ng gym."

"What?"

"For security purposes lang."

"It's against the rulebook of JSU."

"Naka-usap ko na ang school president regarding sa sinabi mo, pumayag siya and besides, present ang mga founders sa pagtitipon na yun."

"You should've seek help from the Crim department kasi field nila ang ganyan."

"They already coordinated with the ROTC for extra guards for the said party." Yun naman pala. "And isa pa, we also kinda lack the expertise of editing a video presentation so aside from installing extra cams, you'll be presenting a prod video."

May silbi din pala.

"Okay." Wow? Okay agad? Wala man lang objection or any suggestions? "Contents of the video, duration of the video and-..."

Bumukas ang pinto.

"Sorry to interrupt, Miss but..."

Pumasok ang isang matangkad na lalaki na may hawak na cake. Napaismid ako. May mga back-up pa talaga siya na may hawak ng mga balloons at flowers. Tch. Lame.

"Blaire Mnemosyne Zhang, I, Jame Andrew Villagonza will always be forever thankful that you come into my life. Please don't tell me that it's corny but it's the truth! You're my forever favorite happening. Now, I'm giving you this cake as a sign of my love..." Lumapit siya kay you know. "Here." Sumenyas siya sa isang lalaki. "And flowers, yellow roses for my sunshine!"

Geez. Ganyan siya mag-surprise? Hindi man lang ako kinilig.

"Happy Anniversary, Hon!"

Napaiwas ako ng tingin dahil nag-kiss sila. Ew. Pumalakpak pa tong mga abangers. Yuck! Kinilig na sila dun? Susko! Face palm. Wala man lang pakulo or something unusual. What kind of guy is he? Bakit niya ba to sinagot?

"Aww! Thanks, love!"

Seriously? Do they really have to do that in here?

Tumayo ako. "We need to go, Miss Zhang." Bored akong tumingin sa katabi niya. "Tara na, Fritz."
