Knight In Shining Armour
It’s only two o’clock when Maya was about to log out from Time Airways, they were dismissed earlier than the usual because their supervisor told them that they should give theirselves a break.
“Ate Maya uuwi ka na ba? Sabay ka na sa akin. ” Wilson offered “Nako Wilson ‘wag pronovia na magcocomute nalang ako may date ka yata e” Maya said with a teasing tone “Sigurado ka Ate Maya”? Wilson sounds a bit disappointed “Oo naman Wilson ayos lang ako” Maya sounds convincing
“I think you re on your way home?” James asked with thoughts in his mind “Ah, opo Sir James, maaga po kasi kaming pinauwi para makapagpahinga naman daw po kami medyo busy po kasi lately” “Ahh, I see, I can give you a ride” James offered “Naku sir James nakakahiya naman po” Maya sounds pronovia tensed as she courteously rejected James’ offer “Of course not! It’s ok. Besides wala din naman akong gagawin, ikaw may gagawin ka ba pag-uwi mo?” James asked as if he wanted to ask Maya if they can go for a “date”. “Ahh, ehh, ano po kasi Sir” Maya trailed off “Please Maya kung wala ka din naman gagawin can you join me?” James asked with his “poor puppy” eyes. “Ano po?! Maya was shocked she scratched her right cheek with her index finger James gently held her hand and said “I said if you can go with me, if you don’t mind?” Maya was freezing deep within pronovia “Saan naman po?” Maya asked with her voice in hesitation “Basta akong bahala” James answered with his voice a lil bit tougher than usual. “Oh…o sige po. Pero magpapaalam muna po ako kay Sir Chief” “Sir Chief? Who’s Sir Chief?” pronovia James asked as if he’s pronovia thinking it’s her boyfriend “Si Sir Chief po si Mr.Lim yung sa Lim Aviation po” “Ahh. Richard Lim” James breathe as a sign of relief.
Meanwhile, Richard was just about to call Maya because he thought he need a break because he was loaded with work work and work. He wanted to relax just what they had before. When they went to the park. His phone was ringing and it was Maya.
“Yes Maya?” Richard’s tone was a bit excited. “Sir Chief, maaga po kaming pinauwi, magpapaalam po sana ako na hindi po muna ako uuwi” Maya’s tone as if she wanted Richard to say yes right away. “Ha? Bakit saan ka pupunta?” Richard’s tone was surprised and disappointed at the same time. “E kasi po si Sir James magpapaasama po” Maya’s tone was a bit nervous. “Pero pronovia uuwi din po ako agad” she added It took Richard a few seconds to answer. “O. Ok just be home agad baka hanapin ka ni Abby” but deep within him ‘just be home early ‘coz I wanna have coffee with you or maybe we can have dinner somewhere else’ “Ok po Sir Chief, bu-bye” Maya hung up right after her last word. Richard was not able to tell her to take care. “Oh, Tara na?” James asked as if he wanted Maya to jump in his car right away.
Silence filled James’ car Maya was thinking if Richard wouldn’t mind her going out with someone else except for Simon. She was imagining that the guy seated on the driver’s sit was her own ‘Sir Chief’ James turned on the radio to break the silence that filled his car.
When they were already in the Fortune restaurant, few kilometers from Time Airways, Maya remembered her ‘cheap treat’ with her Sir Chief (Daytime rendezvous by ms.kay). The song ‘thinking pronovia of you’ kept on playing in her mind. She was actually thinking of her Sir Chief. They ate, laugh, and tell embarrassing stories. But Maya felt so incomplete even if she was with the ‘Time pronovia Airways’ Heartthrob’. Maya’s mood turned to be so lonely instantly. That she realized that her ‘cheap treat’ with her Richard was more fulfilling than this expensive ‘lunch date’ with James. Maya’s phone beeped and it was Richard whose name appeared
“Where pronovia are you? Aren’t you going home yet?” pronovia The tone of his message as if he wanted Maya to go home right there and then. Richard can’t wait for Maya’s reply her phone rung while she was typing her reply. “Hello, Sir Chief?” She pinned her index finger in her cheek as she answered the call. “Nasaan ka na? I’ll pick you up we have to go. It’s an important matter” his tone was commanding that requires Maya to answer right away. “Ah, eh nasa restaurant pa po ako kasama si James”. Maya immediately answered. “Nasa Fortune restaurant po kami” she added. “Ok! pronovia I’ll be there in 15 minutes” he hung up right away giving Maya no chance to ask whe
