Waiting For You (A Forbidden Love)

Chapter 10 Look alike

After what happen, I need to keep going with my life. I lose a dad and I lose the chance to take care of him because of this business. I was busy proving and rising myself up and now he is not here anymore, I can't be failed on this. This is his legacy; I want to dedicate my success to him.

My event organizer informs me of what happen in the cruise. She said it was successful and part of the success is a certain young woman caught Adric eyes, her name is Rabi.

But after sometime i haven't heard anything from my business proposal. I was wondering coz my event organizer assured me and di biro ang perang binitawan ko for that event alone

So i decide to look for Rabi, my men had found her. I can ask some information regarding Adric through her.

I was in hotel restaurant, waiting for my men who i ask for get her. Then i saw a young woman walking along side with my men and an older woman behind them.

I am shock as i see her closer, para akong namalikmata, coz in front of me is the woman who resembles of the woman i long to see for years. Is this really true? She looks like Rochelle the woman in my wall, the woman i have been looking for years. It's like what i saw in the picture is a replica of her. Like a picture becomes a life.

When i see her up close and have recovered from that shock, sinikap kong maging pormal sa kanya para di maging awkward. We didn't know personally. I don't want na matakot siya sa akin, she is my ticket to Ardic. I have to put a good impression.

"You might be wondering why kinausap kita, am i right? Well, i have business proposal to Adric Emperial but until now wala pang result or feedback from him and i heard about you during the cruise gusto ko lang sana magtanong about him."

Malumanay kong saad, i had to build a good rapport to her.

"Sir sa totoo lang wala akong balita kay Adric since nagkahiwalay kami sa cruise. Walang ni isang tao nakipagkita or naghanap sa akin sa ngalan ni Adric. In fact ikaw pa lang ngayon ng kumausap sa akin. Sorry po pero nagsasabi ako nang tototo."

The way she said thing, she seems trust worthy. I don't know why but i believe her, ang gaan ng pakiramdam ko sa kanya.

"I see, pasensiya na nagbabasakali lang kasi ang ganda ng usapan namin then until now walang update or ni isang tauhan humarap sa akin. Wala akong personal information sa kanya, tauhan niya lang nakipag-transact sa akin."

Paliwanang ko pa. I was wondering why Adric, didn't communicate with her. Is she becomes just an affair to Adric? I feel sorry for her coz she is still very young, madali lang maluko but though Adric belongs to a high caliber society, a lot of socialite go after him.

"Pwede ko ba makuha ang number mo or magbigay ako ng number if in case makausap mo siya para may idea ako kung andito siya sa bansa, he usually stays abroad"; she nod and we exchange number. Pinahatid ko sa tauhan pabalik.

Until now i can't believe i saw her look alike. But I'm a sure that she is not her knowing how she look; I am 10 years older than her coz she said she was just 18. I can't believe Adric likes a younger woman. That girl is half his age but though what she said while ago, she might be just a fling for Adric

When got home i search for her picture. It's been a while i haven't talk or look at her picture, even if i ask my investigator to look for them. Those years of searching and looking for her gives me frustration, that's why i busied myself to business for me to move on but still my heart longing for her.

I just control my emotion. Now that i see her look alike, my feelings come back again but i haven't had same feeling towards Rabi as how i feel for Rochelle. Rabi is like a sister to me.

Now i can say what i had for Rochelle is not a simple attraction but a deep feeling with in because i have seen her look alike but my heart doesn't beat for Rabi as i had for her.

After that meeting, Rabi and i become friends. I meet her again to know how she is doing and if Adric contacted her but instead i found that she is pregnant with Adric's child. I'm worried about her coz she is still very young, pregnant at 18 with no parents guiding her, no stable income and being alone with no partner. How can she survive in that?

I remembered Rochelle's story in her, same struggle and situation. The more i am attached to her, i promise to help her in any way i can, the way i wasn't there for Rochelle.

My connection with Rabi becomes constant; we develop a friendship over the months since i have known her. I become protective of her like a sister; I'm 10 years older than her. I admit she becomes an extension of Rochelle in my mind, like Rochelle has a life because of Rabi.

Still no news about Adric, I'm confused why she doesn't contacted Rabi, when she needs him more than ever.

"Pacensiya na Arthur pero wala talaga akong balita kay Adric eh, di ko alam kung bakit di siya nagpakita, eh ang ganda ng usapan namin na hahanapin niya ako pagkatapos ng problema niya"; ani ni Rabi ng minsan kaming nagkausap.

"Okay lang, kaya mo yan Rabi, remembers i am just here to help you, wag kang mangiming humingi ng tulong or tawagan ako kapag may problema ka"; she is special to me, like a family.

I learn that Adric gives her money before they went apart from the cruise. With that i can tell that she is important to him, the way my organizer told me how crazy Adric was to her. But still questions remain, where he is? Why he doesn't show up?

I help her in how to run her business, becomes her adviser. I remember how i started doing business and i encounter a lot of mistake. I don't want her to be in that situation, she's already struggling, with less knowledge. I became her mentor.
