"You can't resigned from your job Bernadeth, you know how much I need you here" I was trying to calm myself and not to shout on her.
" I know Sir Mage, pero sabi ng OB ko kaylangang naka- bed rest ako dahil sobrang sensitive and pag bubuntis ko" Hayss... Next I have a secretary having a s*x life is forbidden. Menasahe ko ang aking sintido at nilingon si Bernadeth.
Bernadeth was may secretary since 6 years. But she got pregnant by her boyfriend and she had to resigned from her job.
Bernadeth look at me na parang nag mamakaawa, Hindi ko sya pwedeng payagan na mag resign dahil sa dami ng mga paper works na dapat tapusin.
I just took a deep breath and loosen my neck tie.
" Okay fine , I will let you to resign, But You have to find me a replacement to your Job" Biglang umiwalas ang kanyang mukha at ngumiti.
" Maraming salamat Sir Mage, Hahanap ako agad ng kapalit ko, Maraming salamat po talaga" She said and bow down to me. I just nodded to her. She look so happy dahil mag kakaanak na sila. Ako kaya kaylan mag kakaroon ng anak?
'Wala ka ngang asawa anak pa kaya'
'TSS...'
Bernadeth excuse herself and leave my office.
Hayyy sana naman makahanap agad si Bernadeth ng kapalit nya sobrang daming kaylangan ayusin at pirmahan I can't do this on my own.
I'm so f**k up.
I rest my back to my swivel chair and turn it around. I close my eyes and try to rest my mind. May kaylangan akong I- close na deal next week and I need a secretary to arrange a meeting with them. Bakit kasi ngayon pa sya nag resign kung kaylan ang dami-daming gagawin sa opisina.
I was in my middle of my thoughts when I hear my phone ringing. It was Hestia, my younger sister.
"Hello Hestia napatawag ka?" It's been a while since she hasn't call me.
" Hey bro, what's up?" I turn my chair and face the giant glass window.
" I'm good, may konting problema lang dito sa opisina" I started. I only open up my problems with my siblings and nothing more.
" Anong problema dyan may maitutulong ba ako?" Hestia sounds shock. When it comes a moment like this parang si Hestia pa ang mas matanda saming dalawa, she more matured more than I.
" Not to necessary , My secretary just need to had a maternity leave in the middle of office crisis " I said in a problematic voice.
" I can go home and help you there" Hestia was such an angel.
" You don't have to do that my 'lil sis. Bernadeth was looking for her replacement so there is nothing to worry about" I heard her sigh on the other line. I know she want to help me but she had also a work and I don't want to be a burden to her. After all ako ang panganay.
"Sige, just don't forget to take care of yourself and our parents and also our younger sister" I smile to her sweetness. Hestia was working out of town and living on her own.
" I will Hestia, Take care of yourself too" Hestia call was made me feel relief and comfortable.
" I will bro, I have to go now" She was also a workaholic but she still had time to call me.
"Bye" As soon as she drop the call I put back my phone on my table. I rest my head on my chair. Gusto ko na umuwi but still I have a work to do.
I'm about to stood when I receive another call. I pick up my call and look on the screen.
"Thana? " Ano namang problema ng babaeng 'to?
"KUYA I HATE YOU, THE CONDOM THAT YOU GAVE LAST TIME AY BUTAS. I'M PREGNANT OH MY GOSH I HATE YOUU!! " Bungad nya ng sagutin ko ang tawag nya. Agad Kong nailayo ang phone sa aking tenga dahil sa pag sigaw nya sa kanila ng Linya. f**k my ear.
"f**k Thana , I have no time for your whining. Go and find that Jerk na pinutukan ka sa loob, saka malay ko bang butas yung condom hindi ko pa naman nasusubukan yun" Biglang sumakit na naman ang ulo ko. Thana is my cousin, sometimes she giving headaches.
"Ehhhhh, Kuya my fiancé marry another woman while he's still engaged to me" I don't know if this is some kind of frank cause it's not funny.
"I already told you na wag mong ituloy ang pakikipag relasyon sa lalaking yan. Ang tigas kasi ng ulo mo" Muli akong napahilot sa aking ulo. Hay problema na naman.
" But Kuya!" Napabuntong hininga na lang ako at lumingon sa labas ng opisina. I saw Zoe na lumabas ng kotse nya. Ano namang ginagawa nya dito?
"You better call Hestia mas alam nya ang gagawin sa problema" I heard her sobbing already. Kung makakaalis lang talaga ako dito, matutulungan ko sya, but I can't leave here.
" Sorry kuya to bother you, I know naman na sobrang busy ka" I just laugh bitterly.
"It's fine Thana, don't worry if I had time, ako na mismo babasag sa mukha ng lalaki yun" I just softly laugh, I guess she was wiping her tears while laughing.
" Thank you Kuya, Sige na kuya I know na busy bye bye" Thana drop the call. I just sigh at hinintay na dumating sa bunso kong kapatid na si Zoe.
Ano nga pala ang ginagawa nya dito she's supposed to be in class.
" Hi kuya !" Zoe cheerfully greeted when she open the door of my office.
" Ano ginagawa mo dito?" She approach me at nakipag beso- beso sakin.
"I just want to visit you Kuya bago I go to school" Humiwalay sya sakin at umupo sa upuang katapat ng lamesa ko.
" Ganun ba ?" She nodded at para bang may naalala at may kinuha sa kanyang bag.
" This why I came here pala, Ate Hestia gave this to me when we met, she said na ibigay ko daw yan sayo ,it help you to your work" Inabot ko ang isang maliit na jar na ibinigay nya sakin.
I read the label, it was the famous tea in Japan. I smile knowing how thoughtful Hestia is.
"I'm going to text Hestia ,to say thank you." Zoe pout when I look at her.
"How about me Kuya? Ako kaya nag dala nyan dito" I laugh when I saw how cute Zoe is.
"Thank you Zoe" She smile at me at muling tumayo. She fix herself and look at me.
"I'm going now kuya ,Jacod is waiting for me at the campus " I nodded and wave at her.
"I kamusta mo na lang ako sa kanya" She nodded and left the office.
I sigh when Zoe left. I turn my swivel chair.
I guess I have to work now...
