I never hated my job as a public servant. I enjoy giving orders to the people under me and love hearing others praise every good thing I've done, even though I'm not a praise-sucker. I like the respectful glance the people here were giving me even though I deserved none.
Until these past two weeks when I saw Lorna and her daughter--our daughter--I started to feel like I was wasting my damn time inside this office. It feels like I don't belong here anymore.
Nanghihinayang na ako sa oras--sa bawat segundo--na inilalagi ko sa loob nitong opisina na ito. I should be where Lorna and Mykaila are. I should be with them every precious second, even though Lorna and I haven't gotten back yet, and Mykaila still doesn't know about me. I should be with them nonetheless.
But here I am, resting my fee
