"HINDI na, hindi na ko tatawa!" Natatawang saad ko habang tinutulak siya. "Grabe, nahihiya ko sa sarili ko." Bulong niya. Mas lalo naman akong natawa ay halos sumalampak na sa sahig ng grocery floor. Pina-upo ako ni Dev sa kaniyang hita habang siya naman ay nakaluhod sa sahig. Pinagsasampal ko na ang pisnge ko para hindi matawa pero sa tuwing nakikita ko si Dev parang sinasapian ako ng demonyo. Ambabaw naman ng kasiyahan ko. "Okay, I'm done laughing. I'll laugh at you later in our house." I said and stood up. Oh, fuck. That was smooth. "Our house, huh." I saw him grinned.

I STRETCHED my arms while yawning. Its lunch time, I haven't eat nor drink anything plus my secretary is on a sick leave. I looked at the papers in front of me, I've been reading since I got to work. I haven't finish it! "God, I'll torture myself later." I stood up and stretch my whole body then drink some water.
