May's POV (Elena) —

Malapit na ang 48th anniversary ng Perez Estate Company. I was reading a document about the company's tradition. Alam ko naman lahat ng ito but I just need to make sure that my memories are valid. Having traumatic amnesia ain't easy mas lalo na if you're claiming someone else's memory. I just need to be sure.

"Yes, yes I just need to make sure," boses pa lang ay kilala ko na. Si sir Luke ang naririnig kong nagsasalita.

My heart suddenly raced. I shook my head para maisantabi ang wierd na nararamdaman ko. But I'm starting to wonder, if you have a memory of loving someone does that mean na mamahalin mo din talaga siya kahit yung memoryang 'yon ay hindi naman talaga iyo kun'di inaangkin mo lang? Aangkinin ko rin ba si Luke dahil inangkin ko dati na ako si Elena? This fucking traumatic amnesia is so.. urgh. Hays.

"May, kuhanan mo nga muna kami ng coffee ni sir Luke," utos sa akin ni ma'am Amanda, ang bagong head ng department namin.

Nilingon ako ni Luke saka nginitian ako. I immediately smiled back. Strange. Seeing him smile lifts up my mood. Bago pa ako madaldalan ni ma'am Amanda ay ginawa ko na ang inuutos niya but when I came back, miss Elena was there. I can feel the tense atmosphere enveloping the office. A very long awkward silence has embraced the atmosphere. Alam ng lahat ang away na nagaganap sa dalawa kahapon. And I guess that's why they are silent as they watch the two lovebirds, waiting for action.

"L-Luke, kausapin mo naman ako," nanginginig na boses na sambit ni miss Elena.

The Elena in my memory is really different from the Elena I am seeing right now. I wonder why though. Why is she so different? And why am I different? I did do my research about Elena Perez hoping to find myself in the process. Pero sa mga nakalap kong impormasyon, nalaman kong hindi lang ako ang nagbago. Elena became the polar opposite of who she was after the accident and nobody know why and what happened. Ang alam ng lahat, nasa America siya ng dalawang buwan para magbakasyon pero sigurado akong ang panahon na iyon ay ang panahon na nasa coma ako.

"I'm working. Bumalik ka na sa off—" Hindi natapos ni Luke ang sasabihin niya nung makita niya ang malalaking butil ng luha na kumawala sa mga nagpupungay na mga mata ni miss Elena.

"I-iiwan mo na ba ako? Hindi mo ba ako mahal?" Patuloy pa rin sa pag-iyak na sambit ni miss Elena.

Napasabunot na lamang sa buhok si Luke tsaka lumapit kay miss Elena. Tss, crybaby. How can she show other people this kind of weakness? I am somewhat disappointed with this Elena I am seeing. If Diane sees her, she'd eat her alive.

"Ba't ba hindi kita matiis?" Pabulong na wika niya sa sarili pero I don't think it was a whisper kasi narinig ko naman ng maayos at klaro ang sinabi niya.

Niyakap niya si miss Elena then tilt her chin up to make her meet his intense gaze as he press forward against her and whispered sweet words to her which gave me a strange feeling, "Do you have any idea how fast my heart beats when you're beside me?"

Whisper ba 'yan? Ba't rinig na rinig ko? I can hear my co-worker squeal, I was stoned when Luke kissed Elena in front of all of us. I can't... breathe... it hurts. But why? I don't like seeing them together. I don't like how Luke is hopelessly in love with Elena. I hate this feeling, my chest tightens in pain. I was only brought back to reality when I felt a soft lip landed on the edge of my lips for only just a second. Napalingon ako sa gumawa noon and there I saw Chase with his smug look standing beside me.

"Hey, why are you crying?" he whispered to my ear.

Napahawak ako sa pisngi ko. And there, it's true. My tears are continuously flowing. I can't stop it. What is wrong with me?

"M-May," I heard Elena called my name then I noticed everyone else turned to look at me too.

Why did she have to call me? Napayuko ako. My tears are still flooding. What should I do? Nabigla ako ng biglang tinakpan ni Chase ang mata ko. While his other hand is embracing me.

"Oh? Ba't nakatingin kayo sa amin? Masama na bang lambingin ang girlfriend ko? Wag nga kayo. Ako lang ang pwede makakita sa cute na cute— Aray!" Nabitawan niya ako dahil kinurot ko siya kaya humarap ako sa kanya tsaka mabilis na pinunasan ang luha ko.

" You're stupid," I said smiling.

This is the first time that I'm thankful he came. I don't understand what got into me but this guy just saved me. I really appreciate his presence now.

"Tuloy n'yo lang paglalandi, aasenso tayo niyan," napalingon kaming lahat sa nagsalita.

It was Yummie giggling while looking at us. No way. I just realized everyone's staring at us.

"I'm sorry, you can continue your work," Luke stated clearing his throat, "Elena, let's continue this later," he said winking at Elena. " And Mr. Rodriguez, we can talk at my office." He continued.

Napatingin ako kay Chase. Thinking of it. Why is this guy here by the way? Aren't he and sir Luke in a fight or something because that's what I remember that happened yesterday. I'm confused.

"Ahem, ayokong sirain ang titigan moment ninyong dalawa pero May, kailangan nating linisan yang natapon na coffee," nakangising pag-insert ni Yummie.

My eyes widened nung ma-realize kong natapon pala ang coffee na dala ko. I didn't even notice it. Then I realized something...

"Y-you jeeerk," sigaw ko kay Chase tsaka sinuntok siya sa dibdib, nung marealize ko na hinalikan niya pala akong bigla kanina.

Tsssk uggggh! Nakakainis talaga! He stole a kiss from me when I was unaware of what was happening in my surrounding! Unfair! Then I walked away blushing.

"You are so dead, Chase Rodriguez. So freaking dead, I swear," I whispered to myself while walking towards the janitor's closet to get a map.
