Chapter 02 M A L Z I A Puyos ang kaba ko habang patungo kami sa Grand Hotel, Its already 8:40 in the evening so I think we'll be there early than the said time. Magiging maayos kaya siyang kausap? O isa rin ako sa mga businessman na itataob niya at hindi bibigyang pansin? Despite of his identity, I'm still hoping that he has a soft spot in his heart or kahit maging considerate na lang siya, besides, my prepared proposal isn't bad at all lalo na't it's a win-win situation.  Nilalaro ko ang daliri ko sa kadahilanang hindi ako makapali, everything seems untrue and nightmare, kung pwede lang magising sa ilusyon na ito ay matagal ko nang kinurot sarili ko, but this is the  reality. Mula sa aking bintana ay natatanaw ko na ang hotel. With his chosen venue, I must say he has an expensive taste, Grand Hotel isn't the place for moneyless, it's for  people who want to waste their money. kailangan mo ng golden card para makapasok dito, sa buong mundo, only 50 people have this golden card, and those people are either blue blood or multi billionaires. In short, para sa mga lihitimong mayayaman talaga ang lugar na ito.  Zhang is no joke, he really must laying down on his bed with his multi billion dollar network, isama mo pa ang imahe niyang nakakatakot.  But still, I'm not in the right place to judge that man. after all, hindi ko pa naman siya nakikilala.  "Ms. Kim nandito na po tayo."saad ni Jan. Tumango naman ako at inayos ang aking buhok at naglagay muli ng kaunting lipstick. I want everything to be natural and soft, I just want some little enhancement which will make me look young and fresh. And as for my dress, I wore my lavender off-shoulder flowy dress and nude stilettos, para magmukhang formal at the same time hindi rin masyadong corporate, and lastly, sinide ko ang buhok ko para mas mapakita ang aking mahabang hikaw.  Everything is all about elegance and natural. Besides, hindi din dapat ako mag effort masyado dahil business ang pinunta ko dito at hindi date. Huminga ako ng malalim at pumikit. Kaya mo 'to Malzia, this is for your family, show them what you got and take your company back.  Lumabas ako ng kotse at sumalubong sakin ang isang mahabang red carpet na nasa harap ng isang Malaking fountain, this place is huge and beautiful.  As far as I know everything in this place were inspired by the French and Arabian architecture. Kaya puro gold and antiques makikita mo sa paligid. Ngayon lang din ako makakapasok dito dahil una, hindi naman ako nagsusugal at pangalawa, I only have black card which is why hindi ako pwedeng makapasok unless there is an invite from a member.  Pumasok ako sa loob at bumungad sakin ang malawak at mataas na ceiling, this place is massive, you can see your reflection through windows and floor, mala palasyo at exhibit ang itsura ng lugar. Napa-ikot ako sa lugar at napangiti ako sa mga painting na nasa-ceiling, it's a neoclassicism style, one of my favorite era when it comes to art.  There are a lot of crystal angels floating in the ceiling, chandelier I think?  mala-spiral formation ang angel figures at nakapalibot ito.  And their flooring wows me, it's a Pietra Firma Luxtouch Tiles, the most expensive tiles in the world, it takes millions of dollars to complete such floor. Nang matapos ako tumingin ay lumapit ako sa receptionist which looks very prim and proper with their neat hair and minimalist black body con and gold belt, they look very expensive. "Good evening, I have reservation with Mr. Zhang."I said in the most nice and calm voice that I could give. Napatulala ito na pawang nagulat sa sinabi ko, may mali ba akong sinabi?  "M-Mr. Zhang?"the lady asked and I just smiled and nodded. Tumungo ang atensyon niya sa computer. "You are Ms. Malzia Rheign Kim?"she asked and for the second time, I gave her a nod.  "Welcome to Grand Hotel madame, just sign this and I'll call Mr. Zhang's team to fetch you here in the lobby."She explained and gave me an iPad. Pumirma naman ako sa ibinigay nito at kinuha niya muli ito. Nang matapos siya sa kanyang ginagawa ay kinuha niya ang telepono at kinausap niya ang isa sa tauhan ni Mr. Zhang, he must be a VVIP member, everyone in here seems to know him.  Of course who wouldn't know him? He's the king of businesses, he's an untouchable beast and untamed monster as others may pertain. But one thing for sure... I will take back what's ours.  In just a minute ay may biglang bumungad saamin ng ilang naka coat at may ear-piece, halos walo silang nandito at ang lalaki nilang tao.  Halos malula ako dahil sa tangkad ng mga ito, I think they are his bodyguards.  Biglang may bumungad saking napakagandang babae, she's walking closely towards me and she looks beautiful and daring, her hair looks neat so as what she's wearing, kahit na corporate attire ito ay kita ang figure niya and she is really sexy and beautiful.  Nang makalapit ito ay wala itong emosyon, ni hindi ako nginitian and It's okay, I'm not here to make friends or do socializing, I'm here because I have business to fix. She lended me her hand and introduced herself to me.  "I'm Vivian Hann, Mr. Zhang's assistant."she said as if she was trying to intimidate me but I gave him a very positive smile and accepted her hand.  "Please to meet you Vivian, I'm Malzia."I said at pawang nagulat naman ito sa inasta ko ngunit pinigilan niya ito at binitawan ang kamay ko.  "Follow me."She said. Sumunod naman ako dito at naglakad kami patungong elevator.  Her appearance may look intimidating,  but I think she's a good person though. She can deceive others by her actions but her eyes won't lie.  Nang makasakay kami ng elevator ay namayani ang katahimikan at ni hindi ko na sinubukang kausapin siya dahil sa mukha nito ay wala rin naman siyang ganang kausapin ako, mas okay na hayaan ko na lang siyang gawin niya ang part niya. And that is fetching me in the lobby. Mga ilang saglit pa ay bumukas na ang elevator at sumalubong saakin ang magandang hallway na punong puno ng paintings at anghel sa ceiling, the floor is now carpeted with red fabric. Maging ang mga decorations ay gawa sa ginto.  Sinundan ko siyang maglakad, lumingon ako at nakita kong tumigil sa unahang hallway ang kalahati ng bodyguards na kanina ay sumundo saamin.  "This place is beautiful.."I complimented. Hindi ako nito pinansin o dapuan man lang ng tingin at patuloy lang ito naglakad. napalunok na lang ako at nanatiling tahimik, siguro nga wag muna ngayon.  Biglang bumukas ang isang malaking pintuan and I was amused by what I saw.  I can see the whole city lights and so as the sky, ngayon lang ako nakakita ng ganitong kagandang scenery.  Everything was made of glass and diamonds, it's dark actually, pero makikita mo parin ang mga gamit at nagkikislapang mga gamit.  "Zizi! Pangako sa'yo mag tatayo ako ng pinakamalaking building!"  "Gusto ko V yung kita stars at moon para hindi na ako mahihirapan tingalain sila!"  Napa-hawak ako sa ulo dahil bigla na naman itong sumakit, why Am I reminding some things?  Napailing na lang ako at hinilot ang sintido ko, not here self, wag dito please.  Maging hagdan na inakyatan namin ay makintab at kumikinang, I bet the concept of this floor is starry night. Tumigil kami sa isang salamin at awtomatiko itong nagbukas.  Halong kaba ang aking nararamdaman, mabilis ang t***k ng puso ko at ni hindi maipinta ang nararamdaman ko ngayon.  This feeling feels nostalgic...  Always remember Malzia that my purpose on being here is to make a deal and persuade him with my proposal. Wala na akong pakielam kung kesyo siya ang pinaka mayamang tao sa mundo.  "She's here.."saad ni Vivian na naunang pumasok. Lumingon ito saakin at tinignan ako nito at binigyang ako nito ng daan papasok.  Pagpasok ko ay biglang bumungad sakin ang imahe ng magandang lalake at may mapang-ahas na tindig. Bumilis ang t***k ng puso ko at para akong nabibingi sa katahimikan, the feeling feels nostalgic. Nang tuluyan ako makapasok sa kwarto ay napansin ko na mukha pa itong kasing edad ko at napaka gwapong itsura, for a western-asian looking man, he is dead gorgeous.  Napansin ko na naninigarilyo ito at naka-dekwatro itong nakaupo, pinagmasdan ko ang paligid at dalawang bodyguards niya ang nakatayo mula sa sofa na kaniyang kinauupuan.  Bumilis ang t***k ng puso ko nang mapansin ko na nakatingin siya sa gawi ko or I must say, nakatitig ito saakin na pawang matagal niya na akong kilala.  Hindi ko ito pinansin at lumapit ako sa kinauupuan nito. Tanging sapatos ko lang ang tumutunog kung kaya't mas nakabaling ang atensyon nila saakin.  Kahit puyos ang aking kaba ay nanatili akong kalmado, sa mga ganitong oras dapat ay mas pinapagana ko ang isip ko kesa sa nararamdaman ko.  Nang makarating ako sa pwesto niya ay nag bow ako na may kasamang ngiti.  "What an honor to finally meet you Mr. Zhang." I said while still bowing my head.  Ngunit bumilis ang t***k ng puso ko at nagulantang ang aking sistema nang maramdaman kong hinawakan nito ang aking baba at ini-angat ang aking mukha.  "You're finally here huh.."isang malaki at malalim na boses ang gumalantang sa aking tenga kasabay ng maganda nitong mukha, he's such a pretty man, but he looks very dangerous.  Napatitig ako sa mata nito at napatigil ako. "You..."I whisper. ....TO BE CONTINUED
