Back In Your Arms

Chapter 8

One day.

Jodi: (pasok sa office ni Albert) hi darling!

Albert: (look up from what he is doing) what are you doing here?

Jodi: (smile kay Albert) aren't you happy to see me?

Albert: I was just surprise. How long are you going to stay?

Jodi: kakarating ko lang you already want me gone? (Lapit Albert then kiss him sa lips)

Albert: (iwas sa kiss kaya it landed on his cheeks)

Jodi: what's that for? I thought we're friends?

Albert: friends don't kiss on the lips.

Jodi: (natawa) anong nangyari sa'yo Albert? Nakalog ba ulit yang ulo mo?

Agot: (galing sa labas but nung pumasok siya sa office nakita niya si Jodi and natigilan siya. Sanay na siya makakita ng iba't ibang girls bumibisita kay Albert but somehow affected siya kay Jodi dahil ito yung kasama ni Albert nung una siyang pinakilala sa kanila so she might be something special. Dumiritsu lang siya sa office niya and tried to work)

Albert: I don't want to give you the wrong impression that there's still something between us because we are only friends now.

Jodi: (pout her lips) I know that Albert because you were perfectly clear on that score.

Albert: what can I do for you? (Look at his watch then nakita nya may time pa bago mag uwian) i can spare 30minutes to one hour for you. Let's have some coffee.

Jodi: sure!

Sabay na umalis sila Albert and Jodi. Sa coffee shop sa baba ng building nalang sila nagkape and nagkwentuhan. Though they were exes but their family were close in the States kaya somehow they have something in common.

After nila nag coffee inihatid na din ni Albert si Jodi sa labas ng building kung saan naghihintay ang driver nito saka siya bumalik sa office.

Albert: (pasok sa office and could see Agot's still in her office kaya dumiritsu na siya sa private office niya)

Agot: (didn't expect Albert to be back kaya nagtaka siya nung bumalik ito sa trabaho niya)

Belle: Agot, hindi ka pa ba uuwi?

Agot: may tatapusin lang ako saglit and then susunod na ako.

Belle: sige mauna na ako. Bye!

Agot: bye! See you tomorrow Belle. (Tinapos na din niya ang ginagawa niya)

Albert: (minamasdan Agot from his office)

Nang matapos na ni Agot ang ginagawa niya nagligpit na din sya ng mga gamit niya and then umalis na din. After a few minutes na umalis si Agot sumunod na din siya.

Habang nasa Pilipinas pa si Jodi lagi niya dinadalaw si Albert. Friendly naman si Jodi sa kanila ni Belle and Agot kaya somehow medyo unti unti na din niya tinatanggap na si Jodi nga siguro ang para sa kay Albert and mukhang masaya naman ito. She could still feel hurt but try niya mag move on and not to be bitter.

One day.

Agot: Mon may lakad ka ba mamaya? Kailangan talaga kasi natin matapos yung figure sa Jeong Sou project eh. Kailanganin na bukas sa initial meeting nila.

Mon: no problem Agot alam mo naman binata kaya hawak ko ang oras.

Agot: wala kang date? (Smile na nanunukso)

Mon: kung pumayag ka ba naman makipagdate sa akin eh.

Agot: (natawa) I'm sorry I'm so jaded when it comes to love kaya it's better na humanap ka ng iba.
