2460 Words
"MAKINIG KA NANG MABUTI. Ito pa ha, buti na lang at tinulungan nina tita Jenny na nanay ni kuya Ivo si kuya Clever. Dinala si Claver sa Australia, doon siya tumira ng 7 years. Kasama kami ni kuya Clever, puro kami training noon hanggang sa lumakas siya. Nakakapagtaka nga eh, napakadiskarte niya. Biruin mo nakuha niyang i-ahon yung kumpanya ng daddy niya at hindi pa namin alam na nakabuo pa siya ng mga tauhan sa loob ng 7 years kaya pakarami namin. Doon palang namin nalaman noong engagement party. Nagulat nga kami ro'n, eh. Kaya swerte natin kasi nabuhay tayo, dahil na rin sa kaniya, kahit ikaw nailigtas kaniya sa kamay ni Sandoval." Kahit hindi ko naiintindihan ang mga sinabi niya, isa pa rin ang pumasok sa isip ko. Nagpalakas si killer ng 7 years para saan? Para ba maghiganti siya? Kaya ba siya nananakit ngayon? Tapos nailigtas niya pa ako, parang ang swerte ko nga sa lagay na 'yon, kung hindi siguro dahil sa kaniya, patay na ako. "Please, Leexiya, 'wag mo sanang sabihin kay Kuya Claver ang lahat ng sinabi ko ha? Mapapagalitan tayo, magwawala 'yon!" Paalala niya kaya tinanguan ko naman siya. Hindi naman ako madaldal para ipagsabi 'tong sinabi ni Joshua, hindi ko naman siya ipapahamak. Since bumawi naman na siya sa ginawa niya sa akin at napag-alaman ko na mabait talaga siya. "Nasaan na kaya siya?" "Sino?" Napatingin ako sa kaniya na nagpuputol ng mga sobrang stem sa mga bulaklak. "Si Kille---I mean si Clever, nasaan siya?" Hays! Ang bad ko, ang sasama ng mga sinabi ko sa kaniya, totoo nga 'yong sabi ni Ivo na hindi ko naman alam ang dahilan kaya siya ganoon! Ang tanga ko talaga. Pero, masisisi niyo ba ako? Kayo kaya makatuklas ng mga ganoong bagay, 'yung mga pag-patay niya, sinong hindi magagalit sa kaniya? "Hindi niya sinabi, pero huli niyang alis 'di ba 'yong dinala niya 'yung ex niya sa 'ospital tapos ayun 'di pa umuwi. Baka nagtanan na silang dalawa " "Baliw! Hindi naman siguro!" Bilis naman nila magbalikan? At saka may boyfriend kaya 'yung ex niya! Dinala pa nga niya doon sa party. Nako, tanga na lang si Killer kapag binalikan niya si Impakta. "Oh, bakit selos ka?" "Luh! Bakit ako magseselos? Hindi 'no!" "Oh, bakit ganiyan ka makareact? Busangot!?" "Ewan ko sa 'yo! Bahala ka na riyan! Magkakape na lang ako!" Inis ko siyang iniwan doon sa garden Dinig ko pa talaga 'yung tawa niya. "'Wag ka na magkape! Magugulatin ka na!" Sigaw niya pabalik. Hindi ako nagseselos! Sadyang hinihintay ko siya dahil kailangan ko nang makauwi, paniguradong a-akalain nila na namatay na ako. Grabe pa naman magalit si mama baka tanggalan na ako ng buhok n'on. CLEVER'S POV "Are you feeling better now?" I asked Danica who was now lying on her bed. She adjusted her seat so I helped her. "N-Not yet, why?" I didn't bother to answer, I'm so bored here. She just doesn't want me to go. At first, I didn't want to leave her, 'cause I missed her, but I suddenly lost my interest to her. "I need to go home," I said and stood up. I was stopped when she suddenly held my hand, I looked at it and her hands were shaking. "P-Please don't leave me, dito ka lang," then her tears start to fall, and I deeply sighed. Why does she cry immediately? Even in recent days. "Please, please...Clev, please..." "Look, Danica. I have the things that I need to take care of, I just can't be here because you shouldn't be the only one I care about. I have many lot to do. If you don't mind please let go of my hand," I know she can feel my coldness, but can you blame me? I was hurt when she left me, she don't want to hear my explanation. And yet, I found out, she got pregnant by someone else. I would have planned to get back together with her after that engagement, but it seems that the situation gives the sign not to continue so that I don't look like a fool anymore. I was even more hurt, we don't even make love for a year of our relationship, because I respected her, because I'm still waiting for her to agree to marry me. "P-Please, I'm begging you to come back to me," she hugged my arm. I laughed sarcastically. "Now you want me to come back after what happened between you and your new guy, are you kidding me?" Here we go again, she's making me stupid again. "I-I don't love him, that's why I'm just living in with him because he got me pregnant," she said. I pulled my arm on her and glared at her. "You got pregnant by him and yet you said that you don't love him ?! Ano 'yon, s*x-s*x walang pikunan?! You are making out with someone that you don't love while my respect for you is a hundred percent!!" I may be a stupid person when it comes to love, but now I will not allow her to do stupid things again and again. I also know how to get tired...very tired. "He r***d me! Pinilit niya ako tapos katwiran niya bakit daw ikaw pa 'yung nagustuhan ko, bakit hindi raw siya!? Gusto kong humingi ng tulong n'on pero wala akong matawagan even your phone was cannot be reached!" She yelled and cried so loud. I don't know if I would believe her, but my heart still softens when I see her crying. My mind tells me to go back to her, give her a chance and we start again, but my heart says no. My heart doesn't want to, my heart's decision seems to dominate my mind. "I d-don't know, I don't know what to say, but I need to go now. I want some rest, I'm so tired, very tired," I deeply sighed. "Please, just let me go." I turned back on her but she held my arm again. "Don't leave me, please, please baby." "Look, Danica. I've given you a few days to stay here at your condo. Am I being deprived of the right to go home?" My friends also have no idea where I am, I know they have a lot of questions later, I can't even say goodbye. "Wala akong kasama!" "Is that all? Fine! I'll send hundreds of maids just to look after you." I tried to remove her hand from my arm but she tightened it even more. I'm losing my patience, I might hurt her for what she's doing. "You're the only one I want to be with, please? Baby, don't leave me. I don't want you to go away, please...please," she begged. I closed my eyes and closed my fist. "Napipikon na ako, Danica. Bitaw!" "'Wag mo kasi akong iiwan!! Parang awa mo na!" I tried to remove her hand. She pulled the hem of my long sleeve as she hugged me. "Y-You getting married?" She starts to tearing up again. I sighed heavily and sat down. I just let her cry on my arm. Hindi ko siya kayang itulak dahil alam kong kagagaling niya lang sa opera at hindi pa siya maayos. "Yes, and stop begging me to stay by your side because I'm no longer yours. The time given to us is enough, no extension. Just accepts the truth, accept that our relationship is already faded and it's done." I have to show her what she wasted. I will begin to accept the truth as well. I don't want to enter a relationship again, I'm tired. I'm scared. I just ate my own words, that I would do everything to get us back to each other, that I would still accept her and she would accept me. One truth and a lie woke me up to stop what I was doing, it makes no sense. I'm just wasting time, which I should have set aside for myself. "W-Why so speed? How fast did you find someone else?" She touched my face. I laughed sarcastically. I immediately stood up dahilan para mabitawan ako. "Uh! What if I give you back what you've told me? Have you forgotten? You had a replacement for me earlier, Danica. So don't imply that I'm to blame for replacing you," she bowed. I looked away. My chest was starting to tighten again, and the pain in my heart was starting to build up again. Parang bumabalik ang sakit nung oras na naghiwalay kaming dalawa. "Do you still love me? Because I still love you dearly. You're the one I always miss, you're the one I always think of, you're the one I always---" "Please stop, lies are still lies! You left me, then you want me back? Are you kidding me?" My tears betrayed me. "Babe! We have a reason why we broke up! Please, let's fix all that. I will do anything, just come back to me. I miss you so much, Clev, believe it or not, you're always the one that I'm thinking of. Whether eating or sleeping, any moment I always think about you," she said softly. I pursed my lips and shook my head. I wiped my tears using the back of may hand. I want to be happy with what she said, I want to agree with what she wants, and I want to think that we will still have a good and happy relationship. I want to think that everything she said would be true. There is still a part of my heart that I hope we get back together, Danica is my very first love, with her I poured all my love for my parents and siblings. At the time we were still dating, I preferred her over my pals. Because of her, I changed into a better person. She didn't want me to fight at the time, so I also forgot my revenge. It's okay for me, I followed her. I gave her everything she wanted, everything she needed whether on her own or anything. I gave her all. Wala akong pinalagpas sa mga gusto niya. Yes, I'm also at fault, I laid my hand on her which is wrong, I just couldn't stop those times. She did say something, and I didn't want it FLASHBACK I looked at my laptop when my secretary sent me a message. 'Sir, we are losing 80 million pesos' What the hell? How could it be? I handled the money carefully, my treasurer had a security code for her key to open the money. How did something get lost? I didn't get any amount this week. I have to go to the company. Something is happening. When I came out of my house, I saw Danica, she got out of a pink car. I think that's a new, shiny and beautiful. I saw she was holding a lot of paper bags, it looks like she went from High Field Supermarket I owned. "Hi, baby!" she ran towards me, and she kissed my lips. "What's that?" "My collection, iba't ibang damit, nauubusan na kasi ako ng ganito. Don't worry I paid it naman," I nodded. "And how about that car?" I have a lot of cars that I can give her one, why does she need to buy one? "Oh! That's my baby kitty car! It's so cute, right?" "Who bought that?" Her parents are in Qatar. If they send money, it's not in a million, because they aren't that rich enough to spend big money on Danica, besides, this my beautiful girl is a spoiled brat by her parents 'cause she was just an only child. Her father did not accept me as her boyfriend. Tsk. "Me!" I raised my eyebrows. "How much is that?" "20 million, I paid cash!" she said while she was dancing, I'm starting to doubt. 20 million? Where will she find 20 million? "Where did you get the money you bought?" "G-Given by my daddy!" She looked away. My brows furrowed and looked at her full of doubtful. "Danica." "Hey! You're not even calling me on our endearment, don't you love me anymore?" she pouted. I smiled a bit and hugged her. "Sorry, babe, but I don't believe that they will give you that amount of money. I haven't seen your father send you that much," I sadi. She didn't answer me, she just hugged me tight. I faced her to me. "Babe. Tell me the truth. Who gives you money? I'll call Tito if you tell me that it was him." Sa sinabi ko, tinulak niya ako dahilan para mabitawan ko siya sa pagkakayakap. She suddenly hit me with her shopping bag. "What?!" She ran towards my room. I sighed deeply. This is hard for her, she can't talk properly, and she immediately turned back and walked out, but even though she's that kind of a girl, I love her. I just want to know where she got the money she used. Philip's calling ... I answered it, "Yes?" "Are you losing money?" "Yes. Another problem, it's a waste of 80 Million, Philip. I don't know why my money stole from someone, I need to find who did that." I pinched the bridge of my nose. "I knew who it is." I've been more interesting. "Who? I will make sure that d*mbass will die." "Are you sure?" I frowned. "Spill it, Philip." I heard him sighed, "I know you won't believe it, I saw Danica. She took it." Napatigil ako sa narinig ko. "What?! Are you sure she was the one who stole the money?" No. My girl won't do such a thing that I hated the most. Especially getting the money and interfering about my essentials. "I'm sure. When I found out that the VC had lost the money I quickly went to the secret locker where the money was hidden. I have a device to trace and connect to whose fingerprint it traced, I was surprised why Danica appeared. I repeated it many times but she's the one who comes out. Hindi sa pinangungunahan kita, tell your girlfriend about this. She doesn't know how much you've lost, it'll still be needed for supermarket and restaurant supplies." I glanced at the new car parked in front of me. I feel so disappointed. I get angry. Why does she need to take money from my company? I can give her money as long as she asks me. "I'll talk to her, thanks for the info," I didn't wait for him to answer and I ended the call. I looked at my bedroom door. I quickly climbed the stairs. I don't want to believe it, but why did she do that to me?
