INSECURITIES AND ASSURANCES

After the working lunch meeting with the engineers, Richard left the conference room and went back to his office, with Minerva behind.

Minerva, i don't have any meetings this afternoon, right?

None, sir.

Okay, no phone calls as much as possible, i'll read the proposal of the Shibuya Air.

Copy sir, may kaylangan pa po kayo?

Wala na. You may go. Thank you.

Richard proceed to his chair, checking his phone.  There's only one message from his wife, 'just landed' with her signature smiley.  He sighed, "well maybe he is now enjoying late lunch with James".

Maya told him the night before that James will be the pilot of the inaugural flight of the new batch of her 'anaks' to Davao.  Apparently, James seems to have decided to stay for good in Manila, that's why he applied as instructor in LAI.  He's totally fine with Maya and James working together.  After all, he's now married to Maya, and his wife has not given him any reason to doubt her love for him.  He is just cool about it last night, but a pinch of jealousy and insecurity kicked in when he received a message from James that morning asking permission to have few minutes with Maya after their flight to catch up and make up to her for his absence during her birthday party.  He sincerely replied, No problem with me.

But he just feel a bit uneasy now, his possessive side taking over.  After musing for few more minutes, he sighed and brushed off his silliness.  He picked the Shibuya Air folder and started going through it.  He is halfway through the third page when Minerva knocked and entered his office.

Sir, there's a lady outside who wants to see you.  Minerva said seriously.

His forehead creased.  I thought I don't have anything scheduled this afternoon?

Yes sir.  The lady actually admitted that she didn't give advise to come here, but she's persistent and she said....

Minerva took a deep breath while Richard is looking at her, starting to get impatient.

...she said, baka raw po pwede nyang madaan sa ganda.  Minerva continued holding her breath.

Richard momentarily absorbed the information, then he shook his head chuckling.  With the grin on Minerva's face as a give away hint, he has a pretty good idea who the lady is.  He instructed Minerva to open the door slightly then instructed her loud enough to be heard just outside his office.

Let her in Minerva, let's see if pwede nga ang ganda nya.

Minerva called the lady.

A very poised lady, in light blue dress that reached her knee and wedged sandals, entered the office.

Good afternoon, Mr Lim.

Richard just smirk, stood up from his seat and crossed his arms on his chest.  He ran through his eyes on the "lady", then turned to his secretary.

Minerva, what do you think?  Pwede na ba ang ganda nya? He asked with raised eyebrows.

His secretary answered, Sir, i know very well that you should know by now the answer to that question.  Then continued, slightly covering her mouth and lowering her voice but loud enough to be heard, kung ayaw mong ma-outside the kulambo!

The room erupted into laughter, then Minerva excused herself, locking the door behind her to give privacy to her boss and the "lady".

Richard approached the "lady" who is now with her hand on the waist standing like in a beauty contest.

So, Mrs Lim, since nadaan mo naman sa ganda and now you have the privilege to see your handsome husband, don't i deserve a kiss? Richard asked smirking.

Maya laughed engulfing her husband into a hug and then showered his face with kisses which ended with a light kiss on the lips.  Richard pulled his wife to his chair and settled her to his lap.  Maya automatically put rest her right arm around his nape.

So, how was your date with Captain James?

Date?!?  Sweetheart? anong date?

Well, he sent me message this morning asking for some time with you? So i thought you two went on a date.

Sweetheart naman! Nag-usap lang kami palabas ng airport and going here.  Nag-offer sya na ihatid ako e.

Maya felt her husband stiffened for a second.  She shifted on her seat and cupped his face with both hands, then kissed both cheeks. 

Mr Lim, nagseselos ka pa rin ba kay Captain James?  Maya asked with a teasing grin.

Richard averted her gaze and tried to explain in a low voice.  No Sweetheart, well I just felt uneasy, thinking that you deserve...

Maya cut him by planting a lingering kiss on his lips.

Sweetheart, thank you and sorry.

Huh? Why are you thanking and saying sorry.  Hindi ba dapat ako ang mag-sorry?

Maya chuckled.  Sweetheart, nasabi ko na sa'yo dati di ba, masyado akong kinikilig kapag ganyan na nagseselos ka kahit hindi naman dapat, kaya thank you.  And sorry kasi baka nagiging insensitive na ako sa feelings mo, especially about my friendship with James.

No, Sweetheart, i don't have any issues naman with you and James... i just really can't help it to feel insecure sometimes.

Mr Lim?  Mr Richard Lim? Insecure?? 

Yes, Mrs Lim, i am an insecure person when it comes to you.

Awwww, sweetheart! Quota ka na ha.  Sobrang pagpapakilig na yan.  Maya said encircling both her arms on her husband's neck.

I love you.  Richard whispered.

I love you more.  Maya whispered back.

I love you more too.  Richard retorted.

Maya loosened her hug and kissed her husband, which Richard returned lovingly.

After few minutes of sharing sweet kisses, Maya stood up from her husband's lap.

Mr Lim, back to work now. She said grinning.

Are you leaving? Nagpasundo ka ba kay Joma?

Bakit sweetheart? Gusto mo na ako umalis? She playfully pouted with both hands on her waist.

Richard chuckled, reaching out both her hands on his.

Silly! I am just asking but it would be better if you'll stay here.  Richard said with a wink.

Well, Mr Lim, I really intend to stay here, sabay na lang tayo umuwi later.  Wala pa naman pasok ang mga bata so may kalaro ang kambal.  Maya answered pinching his nose.  At saka, naisip ko kasi na baka kaylangan mo ng inspiration so I will be honored to be one.

Maya gave Richard one last smack before walking away to pull one chair and get her laptop, then settled beside her husband, logging in on the forum of mothers-with-twins.  She has started reading few posts when she felt Richard just looking at her.

She amusedly looked at him.  Sweetheart, stop looking at me like that.  I am staying here as an inspiration no t a distraction so Mr Lim, go back to work now.

Richard chuckled, pulled Maya's chair closer to him, gave her a kiss on the cheek, then went back reading the proposal of the Shibuya Air.  Maya just smiled and focused on her laptop screen.
