HER
Pinarada ko kaagad ang sasakyan at mabilis na tinungo ang entrada ng aming kompanya. I fished my watch and realized that I am thirty minutes late that made me curse under my breath. I immediately gave my car key to the valet and walked sternly inside without looking back.
The employees bowed their head and greeted as they saw me walking towards them. I just nodded with a fierce look, pertaining that they must continue whatever they are doing.
"Where's father?" I asked my dad's secretary when I encountered him at the elevator. 
Hindi ko siya tinapunan ng tingin but I know he was holding some papers. I stood still waiting for him to answer after he pressed the button on the elevator.
"In his office, Miss. He's still in a personal meeting with Mr. Segovia and Mr. De Guzman. Should I inform him that you'll enter his office?" He stated, readying himself with a phone in his hand.
"No thanks. I'll just wait for them to be done." I licked my lip and started to feel annoyed with the situation.
Wala akong balak makipag-usap kay dad habang nasa harapan si Mr. Segovia. I can't even stand myself breathing the same air with him. He is too much to handle.
"Noted, Miss. I'll go ahead now." He instantly motioned his body when the elevator opened. I just nodded.
I was about to continue walking when someone blocked my way. I just gave her a bored look that made her grin like a crazy b-tch.
"Well, well, well. Look who's here? Hey there, classmate! What a surprise, you're here," Zachie stated mockingly.
"Step aside." I held my armclock, diverting my gaze for the reason that I am trying to control my temper.
"Why are you in a hurry? Ngayon pa nga lang tayo nagkausap e. Can we be friends na lang? You look so kawawa when you're mag-isa eh."
Trust me, you will easily get irritated kapag ito kausap mo. It's too obvious, she's up to something stupid and childish.
It's not like I am judgemental, I just trust my insticts more than anybody else.
"Look, ayokong makipagplastikan sa'yo so step aside if you don't want me to drag you outside together with that fake lashes of yours." She only rolled her bitchy eyes, trying to mimick something and gave me a sarcastic smile. I just held myself together since I have no time for b-llsh-ts.
"You're such a bitch."
"Thanks." And smirked sarcastically.
 I was about to traipse when a man's voice echoed but I didn't even mind to turn my gaze to him. 
"Zachie? Why are you here? I thought you just want to stay in the car?" Asked by the man beside my father whose now staring at me intently.
"I got bored, Dad. And I found my classmate here so why not having a conversation with her, right?" She winked at me sarcastically. I crossed my arms, now geting bored with the situation.
"Oh, so you two knew each other, huh?" Asked my dad but I just gave them a blunt look and didn't mind answering his question. He's just asking the obvious.
"Yes, Tito. We even hung out kanina e. Right, Euly?" Napangiwi na lamang ako sa kaniyang inasta. Euly? Wtf?
"Okay enough and just shut up. I'm not as plastic as you—"
"Kanaris!" I just rolled my eyes and stood still with confidence. I am no fond of fake actions. Nag-iinit lang dugo ko.
"What? Okay, i'm leaving if you'll excuse me."
Zachie's father faked a cough like his daughter who faked her smile and stepped herself aside on my way. 
"Let's talk to my office later." father.
"Hmkay." And walked away from them.
I sat still in my office while resting my swivel chair.
I already have a personal office since i'm also an acting CEO when my parents, particularly my father is not around for some business proposals out of the country.
Prente lamang akong nakaupo habang maingat na inoobserbahan ang polseras na napulot ko kanina. Habang nakatingin ako rito, may bagay akong nais alalahanin na matagal ko nang kinalimutan.
I don't know but I felt something strange everytime i'm holding it.
Bigla kong naalala ang bagay na nasagi ko no'ng isang araw.
It is an old wooden flute designed with feathers and some intricate curves ahead it. As far as I remember, I don't have such thing in my room. I know how to play it but i'm not fond of bringing some music instruments ever since I was a kid.
Maaaring may naglagay nito sa kwarto ko but it's too impossible to intrude our village without being caught.
Masyadong mahigpit ang village namin and cctv's are everywhere para sa mga magnanakaw.
I really need to investigate. This thing is too much and I will surely go nut kung hindi ko makukuha ang sagot sa lahat ng katanungan ko.
I placed back the bracelet in my bag and instead of drowning myself to some nonsense and unimportant stuffs, I started to open and read some letterheaded papers placed on my modern bureau. I really need this to divert this unusual feelings I sensed right now.
My forehead knotted when I found something really alarming and suspicious while reading the datas.
Ibang iba ang pinapakita sa datang hawak ko at sa calculations at rates na nakalagay sa isang papeles. Sinuri ko ang ibang papeles na ngayon ay mukhang pawang kasinungalingan na lamang.
'Who the hell is handling in this branch?'
I raised my brow and smirked out of nowhere. Sounds interesting. 
There's something fishy going on. Nangangamoy peste. Looks like another mice is out from its burrow and waiting to be caught.
If you're confused why I am already capable on doing this stuffs, then it's because i'm already advance in everything including my studies.
I'm still a senior highschool student but my knowledge is for a graduating student whose now up for masterals. My parents are about to enroll me to Wharton but they need me more here to help them handling the company. And again, they never gave me a choice to decide for myself.
I'm not telling this to boast myself, just stating facts and trust me, having this kind of mentality and skills could drive you insane. Not all gifted human beings are happy and contented with their lives. Sometimes, we just want to be a normal sh-ts for us to feel that we are still human. But then again, as I always said, who am I to complain?
I am at the middle of my brainstorming while signing some papers when someone knocked on my door. I didn't turn my gaze to him.
"Come in," I uttered and still busy checking and signing some papers.
Tinunghay ko ang bahagyang pagbukas ng pinto't iniluwa no'n si Kaseeb, dad's secretary.
"Miss Kana, i'm just here to inform you that Master's meeting with Mr. Segovia is already done and he expected you to come to his office ASAP since he still have an appointment to attend afterwards," mabilis niya'ng
turan at pasimpleng sinusulyapan ang orasang pambisig na para bang nagmamadali.
"Ok," I uttered bluntly and started to arrange the papers in my desk.
He bid his goodbye and excused himself bago tuluyang nawala sa aking paningin.
Kaseeb is not just father's secretary but also his right hand. He's at his mid-thirties and still doesn't have his own family.
I sighed and closed my office's door.

"What is it, father?" Bungad ko nang makapasok sa kan'yang opisina.
"What's with that act of yours lately?"
"What act?" Patay-malisya kong tanong pabalik.
"That was so rude and unacceptable," he stated like he is controlling his temper.
Rude? Really?
"Okay, whatever. So why are you calling me here?"
My father's kinda intimidating so as the design in his office, creepy and it sceams with authority. If you'll just face him, you'll feel like you'll gonna be rooted in place and the floor will eat you if you intrude his territory, but i'm not intimidated by it, i'm already used to it though.
It's not like i'm afraid of him. I don't care if he'll throw me out or something. I'm more afraid with my mom but she's under him kaya parang si Dad lang din ang kumukontrol sa akin.
Sounds ironic, indeed.
"I know you're already aware about the leakage happening in Salvievista, right?" He asked with a grim face while busy checking some papers.
I sighed and nodded.
I just found out lately that there's a traitor reigning in our chain hotel in Salvievista and I know he will never let this slip as easy as fvck.
"What do you want me to do?" I uttered with a very serious tone and aura. We were talking like i'm one of his business partner and this not new to me.
"You need to take a visit and handle the hotel while we are not around. I already asked Matrimo to handle our company here." Tikom na tikom ang aking bibig habang sinasabi niya ang salitang 'yon.
As expected.
May magagawa ba ako?
I don't have any choice but to accept or else—I just nodded and lower down my gaze. 
Maybe really need to accept the fact that i'm just one of their puppets but despite that, i'm still thankful and blessed for having all of these.
Marami pa kaming pinag-usapan nang biglang pumasok si Kaseeb at pinahayag ang susunod na gagawin kaya't pumauna na sila para sa susunod na appointment.
Pagbuga lang ng hangin ang ginawa ko bago dahan-dahang hinakbang ang paa papasok sa aking opisina.
After and hour of finalizing some papers here in my office, I decided to go home and rest. 
The heaviness of my body is eating my whole system but I must not feel this kind of feeling for they trained me to be a strong and firm lady.
