Chapter 6: Sorry, Bro

Deanna

The rest of my Sunday in Japan was kinda busy since it's my last day here. After that encounter with Ms. Sungit dumiretso na lang ako sa gym ulit nila Thirdy. We finished all the things na kailangan i-settle and nagkasundo na sa Philippines na ang pirmahan ng contract.

It's still early when we settled everything so I tried working out sa gym na rin nila, you know for experience. They have a lot of personal trainers din.

"Deans, this is Ricci Rivero. A friend and one of our trainers. He will handle the business here once I go home. " Thirdy said as he popped out of nowhere.

"Hi." Offering his hands for a handshake as he smiles like an idiot. Masyadong ngiting ngiti eh. Anong trip nito?

"Deanna Wong." Hindi naman ako rude kaya kinamayan ko rin sya pero ang tagal bitawan ng kamay ko mga besh.

"Uhm, Ricci. Deanna here will be one of my co-owners. So she will be your boss na din once we sign the contract in the Philippines." buti na lang nagsalita 'tong si Thirdy, binitawan nya rin yung kamay ko.

"Nice to meet you, Deanna. The name suits you. Both pretty." Hirit nya. Sorry, bro. Hindi tayo talo. I internally rolled my eyes nung sinabi nya yon. Hays. Parang gusto ko manapok bigla.

"Thanks." Yun na lang ang sinabi ko and ngumiti sa kanya ng pilit. Ayoko namang maging rude. Kailangan namin sya dito sa gym.

"Thirdy, can I try your training equipments here and also maybe do kickboxing. Just to experience lang and to know kung ano pang dapat iimprove dito." I turned to Thirdy.

"Sure, sure. Of course. Ricci can help you with that. Right, bro?" What?! Wala na bang iba?

"Oo naman. I would love to train this lady." he said then winked at me. Wait! He just fucking winked me? He's obviously flirting. Argh! Annoying!

"I can actually handle myself but I really need a sparring buddy right now, so sige. Kating kati na yung kamao ko and mukhang hindi sapat ang punching bags and sand bags. Haha." Sakyan ko nga trip nito. Tingnan natin kung tatagal ka.

Mukha naman syang hindi natatakot at ngising ngisi pa.

"Good. So I'll leave the two of you muna ha. I just need to finish some papers muna." Ricci and I just nodded and dumiretso na sya sa office sa second floor.

I roam around the gym. It was two-storey gym. There are two big rooms on the second floor. Probably an office and a meeting room tapos overlooking yung mga gym equipments at boxing ring sa sa first floor.

Well-maintained ang gym nila. I can say na talagang iniingatan at inaalagaan ng owner. Malinis at parang comfortable naman ang mga nagwowork out.

"So, are you ready?" may nakasunod nga pala sa akin. Hays.

"Yeah. I'll just change to my training clothes." I said and headed to the their bathroom here.

Nagulat naman ako na inaabangan pala ako ni Ricci sa labas ng pinto. Hindi ko na lang sya pinansin. Nakasunod naman sya sakin.

I started warming up with the treadmill, 20-min run lang naman. After that 20 squats then 20-sec plank. I also tried their gym equipments to know kung safe gamitin. Mahirap na, no.

Sinasabayan lang ako ni Ricci sa mga ginagawa ko. I sometimes notice his glances  at me. Ugh! Ang awkward ha. He's smiling a lot. Hindi ba nangangalay ang panga nito?

After that I rested for a while. Cooling down. Napansin ko naman na wala nang nakasunod sakin. Mabuti naman. Naiirita ako sa kangingisi nya eh. Makakapahinga ako ng matino.
