Polvoron's Blah Blah Corner

Four Minutes

"Welcome back."

"Enjoy the rest of your stay here."

"Take care always...."

These messages I sent did not require a reply. But I do hope he has some sense to respond if he appreciated it.

It's okay.

I was busy catching up the deadlines and some reports for my boss. Out of 10 bullets in my To-Do List, only 1 task accomplished. Still no call from him. Where is he? Is he also busy like me? Then maybe he is.

Friday, still no feedback from him. Offline. What happened? Aren't we going out tonight? How about my new clothes? Hmm.. weird.

Monday, he asked me if I could join him for lunch. What a surprise! So, we went out. Had lunch, gave me a gift and had a pleasant conversation. It was a relief from work. And it's warm to see him again. I missed him terribly.

Tuesday. He's just around. No message from him. He's still busy, I guess. What's new with that?

Wednesday. No word from him.

Thursday. I told him, I'm going to Davao for a business trip. But it's not yet final. He expressed his intentions of joining me. He had never been there and it would be a thrill if I accompany him. I had a hard time sleeping just by thinking of it.

Friday. Oops! I think my trip has cancelled. So I told him. But since I knew he wants to go there, I mentioned I can use my mileage just to keep him company. He responded. I might have plans for the weekend, maybe next time.

Oh. Okay.

Lunch time. Maybe we're not going out tonight. I wish I could tell him a lot of stories.

What about the token? Should I give him?

5:00. I passed by at the hotel, and told the concierge to give him on my behalf. The guy just smiled and said, "Okay."

Saturday, he thanked me.

I did not reply.

Until now, I haven't got any word from him. Maybe he's too busy. Always busy. But he wasn't like that before.

What happened? I don't have the slightest idea.

Why am I so freaking mad at him for not responding? How come he did not invite me for breakfast? Why is he not texting me? Why is he not calling me? Didn't he miss me? Won't he be asking me out on a date on Friday?

Time is running out and I couldn't wait anymore.

It took me four minutes to contemplate. I made myself always available to him. I have always been considerate and patient to him. I have always looked for his welfare. I worry a lot about him.

This is not me.

Don't make me admit I'm slowly falling for him.

And what did I get in return? Well, to put it nicely, I was taken for granted.

I don't know how far I've gone so please, knock my head off in a wall and tell me, "Deliles, stop it."
