‎Alas singko ng madaling araw pa lang, tahimik na umalis si Zein mula sa bahay ng mga magulang niya.

‎

‎Usually, gising na ang ina niyang si Agatha sa ganitong oras, naglalakad na palabas para sa morning exercise, pero kagabi'y halos alas dos na sila natulog ng kanyang ama, kaya sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon, mahimbing pa rin ang tulog ng buong bahay.

‎

‎Nag-iwan siya ng maliit na sulat sa mesa.

‎

She disguised herself well with a cap, shades, face mask, hoodie before hailing a taxi and heading to Anya’s house.

‎

‎Pagbukas ng pinto ni Anya, una niyang napansin ay ang maitim na bilog sa ilalim ng mata nito.

‎

‎Halatang walang tulog.

‎

‎“God, Zein,” bungad niya, hinatak agad papasok ang kaibigan. “Buhay ka! Akala ko—”

‎

‎Tahimik lang si Zein habang hinuhubad ang coat. “May itlog ka ba dyan? Gagawa ako ng almusal.”

‎

‎“Ha?!” napalakas ang boses ni Anya. “Girl, kagabi muntik ka nang maano, at ngayon gusto mong magluto ng almusal?! Ayaw mo bang magpa- blotter muna? Mukhang mas need mo yun k

    ‎Perfect timing...‎‎Zein thought she was finally free but no overtime tonight. Pero hindi pa man siya nakakababa ng parking, biglang tumunog ang phone niya.‎‎"Hello, President," sagot niya habang pinapark nang maayos ang sasakyan.‎‎"Pumunta ka muna rito."‎‎Kalma at medyo seryoso ang boses ni Warren sa kabilang linya.‎‎"...Okay," she said with a soft sigh.‎‎Wala na siyang nagawa kundi bumalik. Iniwan ang bag sa office at dumiretso sa office ng president. Sa harap ng pinto, huminga muna siya ng malalim bago kumatok at pumasok.‎‎Sakto namang nagsasara ng laptop si Warren at tumayo.‎‎"Ang sipag mo naman after work," sambit nito habang tinitingnan siya.‎‎Zein blinked. "...?"‎‎Paano niya nalaman na aalis siya? Sarado naman ang pinto ng office nito kanina, and she even checked!‎‎But then she realized, magkalapit lang ang office nila. She left in a hurry, ran to the elevator. Malamang obvious na obvious ang pagmamadali niya. Napatakip siya sa mukha.‎‎"I had something t

    ‎Zein gave a smile that looked worse than crying. Her eyes were still red, her nose slightly runny, and her voice croaked.‎‎“Who wants to join a competition like that?” she mumbled, wiping under her eyes.‎‎“Pwede bang sumali na lang ako sa mas matinong contest?” She looked up at Warren, eyes glossy with fatigue and sarcasm.‎‎“Of course.” He nodded, voice warm and deep like low thunder on a summer afternoon. His smile? Soft. As if stars lived in the corners of his lips.‎‎“As long as gusto mong sumali... kahit anong competition, game ako.”‎‎Those words hit differently.‎‎She thought she was good at pretending to be strong, at pretending na okay lang lahat, kahit hindi naman talaga. But at this moment, she realized she didn’t have to fake it. She didn’t have to be tough. Hindi niya kailangang magmatigas.‎‎Sa dami ng pinagdaanan niya, she forgot how it felt to be vulnerable. To be weak. To be held.‎‎And now... with him?‎‎She felt safe.‎‎Warren saw her shoulders tremble

    ‎‎"Let them change their habit. You're no longer part of them"‎‎Napapikit na lang siya. Bakit ba parang crime na may tumawag sa kanyang "Manager Zein"? Bakit ba parang mortal sin na may nag-aya sa kanya for lunch?‎‎As if on cue, Warren turned at the hallway corner and walked straight to his office. Tahimik at walang lingon.‎‎Zein exhaled. Ang bigat ng hangin.‎‎Alexis, ever the king of baseless theories, stared at the closed office door with a contemplative frown.‎‎“Sa tingin mo ba… sexually frustrated lang si President?”‎‎“HUH?!”‎‎She stared at him in horror.‎‎“Alam mo yun,” he gestured vaguely in the air. “Men... may mga panahon talaga na unpredictable. Parang menopause lang. May version kami n’un.”‎‎Zein wanted to sink through the floor. “What are you even talking about?”‎‎Alexis patted her shoulder dramatically. “Don’t worry, tulungan kita.”‎‎She squinted. “Tulungan saan?”‎‎Please. PLEASE. Hindi kami iniisip ng parehong bagay, 'di ba?‎‎11:20 AM.‎‎Zein le

    ‎Zein’s soul practically jumped out of her body.‎‎Para siyang tinamaan ng earthquake magnitude 10. Hindi lang yumanig sa lupa, yumanig din sa puso niya.‎‎Anya, you insane woman!‎‎But what shocked her more than Anya’s bold statement was Warren’s reaction. Hindi siya tumawa, hindi rin siya tumutol. Instead, he crossed his arms, leaned back slightly on the chair, and looked like he was seriously weighing his options.‎‎As in, seryoso talaga siya.‎‎He frowned, nodded faintly to himself, and murmured, “Hmm… it’s not impossible.”‎‎…HUH?!‎‎Bakit parang hindi siya humihindi? Bakit parang… pinag-iisipan niya?‎‎Anya blinked, half-regretting what she just said. She tried to cover up her panic with an awkward laugh. “Hehe, right? Just joking, just joking!”‎‎Too late. The box had been opened. And unfortunately, this wasn’t Pandora’s box, it was a shipping box. At ang laman? It was a time bomb!‎‎Still deep in thought, Warren added, “Feasible nga. But... she’s timid. She probably

    ‎Naging makapal ang kulay sa mga mata ni Warren habang nakatingin sa natutulog na si Zein. Naalala niya yung umagang iyon, yung halik na parang wala nang bukas. Yung sobrang tamis, sobrang lambot… parang strawberry cake na kahit kailan ay hindi mo na kayang tigilan once you get a taste.‎‎Unti-unti siyang yumuko palapit. His breath hovered inches away from her lips. Parang one more second na lang, and he’ll kiss her again.‎‎Pero… huminto siya.‎‎Napahigpit ang hawak niya sa armrest. His self-control was hanging by a thread, lust and logic in a fierce tug-of-war.‎‎Gustong bumigay, pero alam niyang hindi pwede.‎‎Sa sobrang intense ng hangin sa loob ng cabin, parang huminto ang oras. Tahimik at walang kahit anong ingay kundi ang mahina at steady na paghinga ni Zein.‎‎Lumipas ang ilang minuto. Hindi niya alam kung gaano katagal siyang nanatili sa ganoong posisyon. Pero sa huli, dumaan ang isang malalim na buntong-hininga mula sa kanya. Tumayo siya nang dahan-dahan, naupo pabalik

    Matapos nilang pagusapan ang tungkol sa family drama, Aries excuses himself to go outside, maybe because he realized he overshared and needed to air. So habang naghihintay, inilabas ni Warren ang laptop at nagsimulag magtrabaho. Zein looked around, this private club room, looks like a studio apartment, kumpleto lahat at parang may office pa nga. Maybe Aries own this club, same sila ng aesthetic e. ‎PAGKATAPOS ng ilang minutong katahimikan, dumating si Aries, matangkad, confident, at may dalang dalawang cups ng coffee na parang walang pakialam sa ongoing na tension sa paligid. ‎ ‎“Warren, I brought you your usual. And I got one for her too,” aniya habang inaabot ang isa sa mga cup kay Zein. ‎ ‎Napatingin si Zein sa paper cup na may “Miss Z” na scribble sa side. Hindi niya alam kung matutuwa ba siya o mabu-bother. Pero dahil hindi pa siya nagka-kape mula umaga, tinanggap niya rin. ‎ ‎“Thanks,” tipid niyang sabi, at sinubukang hindi mapatingin nang matagal sa pagitan ni Warren at
