DEFYING THE ODDS

15.

Deanna's

"Where going to celebrate Creamline Coolsmasher's anniversary the year it was build. Simple dinner with the team, some stockholders and some important visitor." Sir Jonathan Ng explained after ng meeting namin.

"Deanna, you and Sir Alan with Ms. Lizanne will be in charge of all of this." He added.

After meeting nagpaiwan kami nila Mam Lizzane for planning of  the upcoming event.

Everything is smooth now, may nakuha na kami na resto and nabook na namin for that day. May kinuha din kami na accoustic singer to entertain us while having a dinner and Ms. Lizzane made a short program and a party after the formal dinner.

After ko magkasakit sobrang daming trabaho ang bumungad sakin idagdag pa yung anniversary ng Creamline so everyone is busy.

I wasn't able to visit the team during there training si Mam Lizanne na ang naghahandle nun since busy ako sa office.

It's late night na nang matapos ako aa trabaho ko. I'm really tired to even eat.

Just as I decided to skip my meal, Jema called.

Jema and I are steady with what we have now, hindi pa kami nakakapagusap sa kung ano meron kami, ayaw ko naman pangunahan ang lahat baka kasi magkasakitan lang kami but i know sooner or later maoopen up din ang bagay na yan, Sa ngayon hinahayaan muna namin ang mga bagay ayon sa aming nararamdaman.

"Yes?" As i answered her call.

"Nakauwi kana?"

"Not yet, pauwi palang."

"Hala it's 9pm already, kumain kana ba?"

"Nah, maybe tomorrow, i just want to sleep."

"Want me to cook for you?" She asked

"Wag na it's late already, mahihirapan ka makauwi we have event tom, you should rest."

"Papunta na ko sa unit mo, see you there. Byee." She said and end the call.

I smiled.

"She's the boss." I said to myself.

Jema's

I'm waiting for Deanna outside her unit.

Sabi ni Mam Lizanne andaming ginagawa ni Deanna these days.  Alam ko mag iiskip meals na naman to, andali nalang sakanya magpalipas ng gutom samantalang noon puro yan kain.

Ayaw ko pabayaan niya sarili niya. I was so worried nang magkasakit siya. Hindi siya sakitin noon.

Nakita ko na siyang paparating, sa lakad niya palang halatang pagod talaga siya.

"Hi." I said

She pouted tas lumapit sakin to give me a hug. "I'm tired."

Kahit wala pa man kami napaguusapan ni Deann sa kung ano na kami ngayon ramdam ko na she's slowly opening the doors for me.

Nakikita ko na yung sweetness niya, ayaw ko siya madaliin baka kasi mapressure siya. Pero ayaw ko din naman na ganito kami ng matagal nakakaconfused kasi yung parang kayo pero walang kayo. Hindi mo alam kung san ka lulugar.

Pagpasok namin pinagluto ko siya ng dinner and we ate together sa  sala niya whike watching movie.

Napagusapan namin yung event bukas.

"Ano susuotin mo bukas Deans?" I asked her

"Typical attire, formal like that. Don't wear revealing dress if you don't want to wear jacket the whole party." She said.
