“Ay, sorry, sorry, Osiris, tumunog lang yung alarm ko,” ani Martha at bahagyang napangisi nang maalala kung paano nagulat si Osiris. Magugulatin pala ang binata, ‘yan ang naging impression niya rito sa lalaki. Hindi naman in a negative way but she find it cute though,
Dinukot niya ang phone sa kabubukas lang ng zipper ng shoulder bag niyang hindi malaman kung anong brand dahil wala namang nakatatak at hindi kilala ang design nito. Pinahinto niya ang tunog, matapos i-snooze ang alarm ay ibinalik niya na rin agad sa bag iyong phone niya.
Ngumiti siya nang tipid nang ibalik niyang muli kay Osiris ang kanyang mga tingin at napagtantong kanina pa rin siya pinapanood nitong binata na itong nasundan na lahat ng ikinilos niya. “Bakit?” tano

“Ano po ‘yon, sir?” sambit ng dalaga na ngayon ay hinihintay na lang ang sasabihin ng binata dahil natapos naman na niyang linisin ang lamesang kinainan ng lalaking ito. “Sino ‘yong babaeng kasama mo rito kanina? Yung tinawag mong Martha?” tanong ni Osiris sa dalaga ngunit biglang nag-iba ang timpla ng mukha nito, hindi dahil hindi tungkol sa kanya ang tanong ng lalaki at para kay Martha pala. “Sorry, Sir. Hindi po kami pwedeng magbigay ng impormasyon ng mga ka-trabaho po namin, e, pinagbawalan po kami ng amo namin,” sagot nito at iyon ang dahilan kaya naman sumama ang mukha ng babae.
