“Do you want a tea?” my
colleague asked.
“Yeah…thanks.” I said
continuing to work on estimation and BoQ.
“Hey…put 2 two cubes of sugar.” I added.
“Huh? What happened today, you
usually drink tea without sugar?” She asked curiously. When I first joined, she
gave me a coffee…too sweet for my liking so I barely touched a cup.
With the passing days and
blending atmosphere, I told her that I prefer tea without sugar. She noted that
though she forgets sometimes *smile*.
“My life is too sour and bitter
these days. I need to bring sweetness in it. So I am thinking of starting by
adding sugar in a tea.” I said as a matter of fact but she brushed off by
laughing “Oyeee” while handing me a cup of tea.
I sipped from the tapering white
colored cup; I grimaced with the taste unable to gulp the concentrated
sweetness.
She looked at my face studying
the reaction and laughed, “I put three instead, so your life can be sweeter in
jiffy.”
I made a face, what kind of; I don’t
know…I bet not the pleasant one.
“My fault, I need sweetness in
my life not in a tea.” I muttered, barely audible to myself.
