(⁠๑⁠˙⁠❥⁠˙⁠๑⁠)(⁠๑⁠˙⁠❥⁠˙⁠๑⁠)

I closed my laptop in frustration after watching the ending of "Forever Ko'y Ikaw." Although this TV series has been on for a while, my busy schedule only allows me to catch it now and then. I've saved all the episodes on my laptop.

What's really annoying is that both the main male and female characters had to die. It's just a fictional story, but they still had a sad ending! If I were a writer, I wouldn't ever write a tragic ending. But the reality is, I'm not a writer; I'm a teacher.

In addition to being one of the Prime Secret Agents in the Guieco Clan, I'm also a respected teacher at Mhinn International School, which is owned by Kenya's spouse, who happens to be one of our bosses.

"Damn it! Ang hilig nila sa sad ending. Romeo and Juliet, Jack and Rose..."

"Ikaw at ako."

Agad naman akong napalingon sa may-ari ng boses na iyon. Pinigilan kong taasan ng kilay ang lalaking nahagip ng aking mga mata.

Ashmer Guieco. Tsk.

Ikaw at ako? Hell! Ah, yeah kasi never kaming magkakaroon ng happy ending.

Ending, yeah, but happy? Isa iyon sa mga imposibleng mangyari sa mundong ito.

Umikot siya sa likuran ko at niyakap ako. Naiinis ako sa sarili ko dahil hindi ko man lang magawang kumalas. Ipinatong niya pa ang kaniyang panga sa balikat ko.

"Ash, nababaliw ka na ba?" asik ko.

Hindi ako makakilos dahil sa sobrang lapit ng mukha namin sa isa't-isa. Napakuyom ako dahil sa nararamdaman kong inis at pagkadismaya sa aking sarili. Alam ko namang mali itong eksena namin ngayon ngunit hindi ko man lang kayang umalma.

"Sa 'yo? Oo, Marciella Perrer."

"Jerk, haduf!" sunod-sunod na mura ko.

Napapalatak naman siya. "Language, pretty babe."

Kumalas ako mula sa kaniyang pagkakayakap at tumayo na. Malamya ko siyang tinitigan.

"Nasa pool tayo, 'di ba?"

"Yes, why?"

"Paano kung may makakita sa atin dito at isumbong tayo kay Percy? Kahit wala akong ginagawang masama ay madadamay at madadamay ako sa kalandian mo, Ashmer Guieco!" panenermon ko sa kaniya.

Malamig ang titig na ibinigay niya sa akin habang walang kaemo-emosyon ang kaniyang mukha pero walang epekto 'yon sa 'kin. Hindi man lang ako natinag. Kung sa iba niya ito ginawa ay baka tumakbo na kaagad papalayo sa kaniya.

He's recognized for his icy gaze that can send shivers down anyone's spine and his consistently serious and emotionless expression. This has led to him being dubbed the "robot boss" in our compound.

But honestly, his demeanor varies drastically when it comes to others and when he's around me. To everyone else, he's an unapproachable, intimidating boss, but in my presence, he transforms into a mischievous and charming robot.
