Days passed by so quickly. It seems that it was just yesterday when the trainees started their OJT and Mari can’t believe that today would be their last day in the firm. She just can’t understand herself why does she get so emotional with that fact. “I’m going to miss this office and these people”, she thought, referring to her “trainors” who are so kind to her. In a short span of time, these young professionals became her friends. That’s why it’s hard for her to leave them. But that’s how life goes..everything comes to an end!
The trainees are already gone in the office and Yosef didn’t mind as he always does. He was working on his table when his bubbly officemate, Ron, approached and fuzzed him.
“Pre, who among the trainees do you like?!”, Ron asked in a low voice and with a silly smile.
“Ha?! Umm.. Wala!! None of them”, Yosef defensively answered.
“Woooo!! You know you can’t fool me! C’mon! Tell me! I promise, this would be a secret between the two of us”, Ron said, trying to convince Yosef to tell him.
“Hah!! As if I could trust you!”, Yosef thought. But then he said, “okay, okay! I like the thin one!”, so as to shut Ron off.
“Mari?!? Oh, you like Mari?! Ahahaha…Si Mari pala ah!”, Ron said in a teasing manner. Then he left Yosef alone.
Yosef thought that Ron was already done teasing. To his surprise, almost all of his male colleagues and some of the girls are teasing him with Mari! Led by Ron and Dennis, all the others are making fun of him! “Grrrrrr… Ron talaga!!!”, he thought while trying to hold his temper. Then he realized that it would make no sense if he’ll burst out his temper because the damage has been done. And so he chose to be silent and ignored his officemates.
Mari, although sad, tried to cheer herself up because summer time would be a waste if she’ll just stay in her room and let her sadness consume her up! She went to different places and visited a lot of resorts. She really enjoyed the days after the OJT. However, a part of her thinks she’s going nuts because there are times that her subconscious voluntarily does the morning routine that she usually does during the time that she’s on training.
One morning, Mari woke up and jumped off her bed. “Oh my God!! What time is it?!? What time is it?! 7:30!! Oh no! I’m going to be late!!!”, she panicked. “Wait.. I’m done with my OJT! Why am I acting this way?!”, she thought. Then she mentally counted, “One…Two…Three!…”. “Ay naku! Wala na.. I guess this is it.. I know what I’m missing now.”, she said, followed by a deep sigh. That was the time when she admitted to herself that other than the friends that she’s missing in the firm, what she missed most was her morning chit-chat session with Yosef. “Oh no!!.. I hate this!”, she said further. Then she laid back on her bed, deeply thinking on what she’s going to do. She’s now longing for the next time that she’s going to see and have that talk with Yosef. She doesn’t really have any idea on what’s going on with her. And she thinks she’s going crazy as she starts dreaming about him.
She wants to stop this craziness in her but she doesn’t know how! She doesn’t want to dream about Yosef anymore not because she had something against the guy, but because she knew that such dream would never ever come true!! For her, it would be too impossible for Yosef to like someone like her!! And what’s more is that she’s scared. She had just recovered from her first broken heart and she does not want to entertain feelings like infatuation or the like, yet. Not yet..not now.
