I was busy contemplating whether or not to attend Amanda's birthday dinner after office hours.

I barely spend time with my kids. I'm afraid I might lose them if we won't see each other before they head to bed.

Nahihiya na nga ako kay Odessa kasi halos gawin ko na syang baby sitter ng kambal.

I heaved a deep sigh and rested my chin on my right hand.

"Uy, bakla. Lalim n'on ah. Oks ka pa ba dyan?" Amanda said over the phone.

I jolted in surprise. Oo nga pala, kausap ko sya sa telepono ngayon.

"Natutulog ka na ba dyan? " Amands laughed and I felt myself blushed.

"Sorry, I spaced out. Uhm, hindi ako sure kung pwede ako mamaya, bakla." I said shyly instead.

"Aww.. Ganon ba. Sige, postpone nalang yung dinner naten bakla. "
I heard sadness in her voice.
I felt guilty all of a sudden.

"Treat na lang kita bakla, pag may free time na ako ulet." I said in the hopes to brighten the mood.

"G! Bet ko yan, bakla! " Amanda answered with equal enthusiasm.

I heard voices in the background and then we bid our goodbyes and hung up.

I continued encoding the proposal for Mr. Park's business venture and in a matter of a couple of minutes, I'm finally done with it.

I spent the usual day at work silently and was about to lock the office when my phone rang.

I pulled it out from my handbag and saw Reagan's name popping on the screen.

I started to smile and answered his call.

It has been two weeks since we haven't seen each other. He said he has to fly somewhere to manage his family business.

"Hello, misis ko."

I tried my hardest not to show how his endearment shook my nerves and smothered a smooth reply.

I locked the door and started talking to him.

"Oh? Kumusta? Buhay ka pa pala?" I joked and acknowledged my officemates inside the elevator with a smile.

"Nakakasakit ka naman ng damdamin, misis ko. Miss na miss na kaya kita. Pauwi ka na ba?"

I stepped out the elevator when I reached the ground floor.

"Yup. Pauwi na ako. Namimiss ko na mga anakis ko eh." I answered promptly and waited again this time for our service.

Isa ito sa nadiscover ko na offer ng company ni Mr. Park.

There was a car service to employees who resides quite far from the office. Another way of giving back to them, ika nga nila.

I smiled when I saw Alex, Jimmy and Wanda (the couple) and Rosie approaching me at the exit of the company.

I was about to hug Alex after hugging Rosie when somebody cleared his throat behind me.

I noticed Rosie wiggling her eyebrows and Wanda exchanging knowing glances with Jimmy. Alex's expression remained stoic while silently looking at us.

I turned around and saw the man I was talking over the phone a minute ago.

"Hey, beautiful. May I take you home?" He asked and offered me a fresh bouquet of roses and handed it to me.

I immediately turned off my phone and placed it inside my bag.

I turned to my office mates and introduced him to them. I also told them that I won't be coming home with them and to tell our driver.
They just nodded and told us to keep safe and see them tomorrow.

I returned my attention to the man I haven't seen for weeks and I can feel my cheeks reddened when he started gazing adoringly at me.

"Ene ke be. Tegel-tegelen me nge yen." I said at nag-ipit ng takas na  buhok sa ilalim ng tenga ko.

I received a husky chuckle from him and he gave me a tight hug.

"God. I miss you a lot. The distance was killing me. " Reagan said and pulled out from the embrace to plant a kiss on my cheeks.

I slapped him on his arms realizing he had began being his PDA self again.

"Tara na, uwi na tayo. Namimiss ko na ang mga bata." Reagan said and my heart welled up for him a little more.

His love for my kids always get the best of me.

I will be forever grateful for him.

I let myself be dragged to where he parked his car and he told me stories about his trip as he drove us home.
