Ah! The heat of the morning. Well, I walk to work and I perspire easily so it's like someone splashed some water to me whenever I got at the office. I have a lot to do today so better start. The aircon will dry me up, anyway. Though, sometimes, I really want to smash it when I'm chilling inside.

Mobile phones are not allowed inside the production area, by that I mean the area of the office cubicles. But I and some others, actually, almost all of us hide our phones. There's no CCTV nor other hidden cams inside, anyway, though, there are guards rounding to check.

For me, I just use my phone to hear music and songs to help me relax while I do my work.

On my break, I read Adrian's other messages but was not able to reply, I know he's surely teaching yet. I'll just chat him after my shift ends. Uhm, Adrian's a Philosophy teacher, he's not really a philosopher but he is an ex-seminarian and so I understand that he teaches that course. Most of my philosophy and logic courses when I was in college were taught by ex-seminarians.

I enjoy chatting with Adrian cause it's like I can bare myself, I mean my soul, to him. I can tell him almost all of what bothers me or what may bring joy to me.

And the day went off.

I'm home again. Fixed my dinner, of coffee and nothing else. Not healthy, eh? I think so, too, but I love coffee.

I was lost into the internet world again and wasn't surprised when I looked at the time that registered 1:05 a.m.

Suddenly, there's a chime from my Messenger.

Oh! A reply from Kam.

'Thank you. Uhm, how're you?'

Oh, okay, so that's it?

So I replied. Then got a response immediately.

'Doing fine, so far, you're up still, obviously'

'Work, most times I go home later than this hour'

'Oh'

'Uhm, where are you working?'

'Tellif'

'Really? We're working there, I mean, are current clients are located there at 26th Street, do you have time? Maybe, we could meet?'

'Uhm, sure, why not? I have weekends off'

'That's great! But what about tomorrow?'

'Let me see. My shift ends by 6 p.m. so I guess, yeah, and you? Didn't you say you go home later than this hour? Haha'

'I can make time for us to meet'

'Uhm, okay'

'See you tomorrow, then'

And so I was a bit surprised, why would Kam want to meet with me? I mean, we're not close, you see. But okay, for the sake that we are batchmates from Senior High, I think, it's alright.

Kam?

Well, he's great in Mathematics as I remember. He's a certified accountant and he has such lovely eyelashes, long and curved naturally, envy that, anyway. Well, that's most that I can tell about him. He's good-looking, too, to add up.

It's Friday tomorrow so that's really alright to meet up with him.

My Messenger chimed again.

'Good night, sleep well'

And that's from Kam.

This feels strange. I mean, I don't know for sure but it just feels like that.

So I did dozed off.

************************************

Day gone off like lightning. And night is here.

'Uhm, sorry, I think I can't make it tonight, we're still really stuck here at the office, maybe tomorrow or next weekend?'

Thank God! Well, Kam did cancelled and I really feel like not going out tonight, I just want to sleep and well, watch some movies.

'Okay. I was about to tell you, same thing, but for me, I don't have enough energy to go out, haha, sorry'

'Uhm, it's alright, rest well tonight'

'Thanks, you too when you're done with your work'

And I dozed off. Binge watch? Uhm, tomorrow, then.
