Chapter 4: First Meet
Yvo's POV
I was staring blankly on the window. Thinking about my past again, I'm stuck here. Doing nothing but to regret my mistakes before. I was an asshole, but I still do now.
The difference is I'm not into girls now.
*toktok
"Come in."
Mahina kong sambit, at mula sa repleks'yon ng salamin ay tinignan ko kung sino ito, at walang iba ang secretary kong si Riyi.
"Here's your schedule for tommorrow, Mr. Zeron."
"Hmmm, Proceed."
"Lee's company wants to be your partner in their new project, they want to talk to you in person, they schedule you---"
"Stop, Who said that I want to be partner with them?"
"My apologize, Mr. Zeron."
"Tsk, Cancel that. Proceed."
"You have an interview, regarding about your status. It's 8:00 AM in the morning."
"..."
"Next is, you have an appointment meeting with the shareholders on YZ's Corporation. It's 1:00 in the afternoon."
"...."
"You have an appointment meeting on your previous competitor, with Mr. Andrade."
"..."
"You have--"
"Wait. Stop...What did you say?"
"You have appointment with Mr. Andrade."
"What? who said I want to talk witg that f*****g old hag?"
"S-sorry sir. M-makulit po kase."
"Even so, Cancel that."
"Y-yes. Sir."
"Tsk, I'm going home. I'm bored here."
Pagkasabi ko n'yon ay dire-diretso akong naglakad palabas ng aking opisina. Ang dami ko pang gagawin, puro pending pa. But here I am, wasting my time to something I don't know.
Pagkalabas ko ay dumiretso ako aking sasakyan at saka mabilis 'yong pina-andar. I need some air.
----
Narito ako ngayon sa Park, kung saan ay madalas akong tumambay since i was child. I'm here, in my old mansion. Yeah, this mansion used to be my parents house. My house. But since they're gone, no one dares to live on that house.
This Subdivision owned by Andrade's Corporation, but because of their current situation, looks like this would be in banks hand.
Tsk, napailing na lamang ako. Bakit ko ba iniiisip 'yon? hindi ko naman problema at mas lalong wala akong pakielam. Nung ako ba, maliit at paslit, nung mga oras na pabagsak ang aming kumpanya, tinulungan ba nila ako?
Tapos ngayon lalapit-lapit sila akin? tsk. serves them right.
"Baby D! don't run."
Napalingon ako sa bandang gilid ko, kung saan ay narinig ko ang isang tinig ng isang anghel. Damn, she has an angel voice.
"Kyahhh! hahaha. Do you want to play? yiieee."
I Saw a woman playing with her shi tzu. I thought she was an angel, because of her beautiful melodic voice.
Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero hindi ko maialis ang paningin ko sa kan'ya. She looks pretty. And for the firsr time, I broke my rule. Rules that never stare to woman.
"Hihi, come here! I'm gonna sing a song to you. Come, come."
Nakangiti n'yang paanyaya sa aso. s**t, she's so goddess. She has a beautiful smile that no one can compare with.
Lumapit ang aso sa kan'ya at saka humiga sa lap n'ya. Nakaupo kase s'ya sa damuhan.
She's smiling while staring at her dog. Suddenly I wanted to become dog. f**k, What is happening on me?
She slowly stroke the fur of her dog.
everybody needs inspiration
Everybody needs a song
A beautiful melody
When the nights so long
She sang just like it's a normal thing to her. but she's Singing like a pro. maganda ang boses n'ya. Wala sa sarili na tumayo ako at naglakad palapit sa kan'ya.
Habang naglalakad palapit ay napagmamasdan ko ang mukha n'yang maamo, ang kulay tsokolate n'yang mata at ang buhok n'yang mahaba na nililipad ng hangin.
Fuck, she's a goddess. I want to know her. But when I'm about to go near her, some old hag called her.
"Babi!"
"Daddy?"
parang may nagtatanong sa pagkakasabi n'yang iyon. Bigla ay nagpalinga-linga s'ya sa paligid, dumaan ang tingin n'ya sa akin pero hindi n'ya ako pinansin.
Fuck. Why do I feel hurt? nakangiti s'ya habang ginagawa 'yon. dumapo ang tingin n'ya sa lalaki na sa tingin ko ay nasa 40 plus. Wait, his face is familiar. I'm sure that I've seen him before. I just can't recall when and where.
"Daddyyyyy!"
"My princess."
Nakangiting tumakbo ang babae sa tinawag n'yang daddy. kumunyapit ito sa batok ng lalaki at saka humigpit ang pagkakayakap.
"Oh, my princess. I miss you."
"Dad! where have you been? hahaha. I missed you too. We're playing!"
"I know, i can see it sweetie."
"Ihhh! dad, pretend that you didn't know okie? hihi."
"Hahahaha, alright. Alright."
"Yiiee hihi, dadddy! we're playing!"
"Oh, is that so? hahaha. Can I play with you?"
"Of course! omg. Hahaha."
Hindi ko alam pero parang nakaramdam ako ng selos at inggit sa tinawag n'yang daddy. Dahil una ay nakayakap ito sa kan'ya at nginingitian s'ya nung babae.
Nakamasid lang ako sa kanila habang naglalaro at naghahabulan. How I wish I have a parents, or maybe just a father, just like him. I wonder how it feels to have a parents. I wonder how it feels to have a father.
Malalim akong huminga at saka tumayo, wala akong mapapala rito, maiinggit at magseselos lamang ako sa kanila, parang hinayaan kona lang den na maging malungkot ako.
Ngunit habang naglalakad ay may tumamang maliit na bola sa aking likod ng ulo. Kaya naman napatigil ako sa paglalakad at mabilis na sinalat ang aking buhok.
Fuck. Ano ba 'yon?! ang sakit ah. Hinihimas ko ang ulo ko ng makarinig ako ng yabag na papunta sa aking direks'yon kaya naman umayos ako ng tayo.
"Halaaa! sorry po, kuya. Sorry po. Namali po ako ng pagkakabato. Sorry po, sorry po."
Tuluyan akong natulala ng matitigan ko sa malapit ang mukha n'ya. She was inch away from me, staring at my head checking if i was okay.
Suddenly, my heart started to beat fast. And I don't know the reason why.
"Kuya? ayos lang po ba kayo? hala. Sorry po talaga."
Naka pout s'ya habang nagsasalita. That makes her even beautiful. f**k.
"Kuya?"
"A-Ah yeah, I'm okay. Don't worry."
"Really? I'm really sorry. dapat hindi ko na binato ang bola ko. Pasensya kana. Sorry po talaga."
My lips parted on shocked because of how caring she was. I wish I have someone like her. Damn it, that makes me want to own her. f**k.
Nag-angat s'ya ng tingin at saka tumitig sa mata ko. I have a paired of baby blue eyes. Nagtama ang aming tingin at hindi ko alam kung bakit ako nanatiling nakatitig sa kan'ya.
Para bang may humihila sa akin na makipagtitigan sa kan'ya. I can see the purity and sincerity in her eyes. f**k, how can she be like that?
"Your eyes is so beautiful."
Nagitla ako ng mahina ng marinig kong muli ang maganda n'yang boses. It was low, but I can still clearly heard It.
"A-ah--"
"Babi, come here. We're going home!"
"Coming daddy!"
Ngumiti na muna sa akin ang babaeng tinawag na babi, saka kumaway sa akin at walang salita na tinalikuran ako. f**k, did she just walk out on me?
No one dares to walk out on me. Not even once. But because she was beautiful, fine. I'll make an exemption on her. She was innocent like a baby.
Hindi ko alam kung ilang minuto akong nanatiling nakatulala at parang tanga na nakatitig sa kawalan, I will find her. I'll make her mine. I want her. I want only her.
Napangisi ako sa isiping makasama s'ya. f**k this ilussions. Damn it. Napailing na lamang ako at saka naglakad paalis.
--
As usual. Nakatulala na naman ako sa kawalan, it's been a day since I saw my angel. f**k, saan ko s'ya hahanapin? damn it.
frustrate akong napabuntong-hininga at saka kinuha ang coat na nasa table ko, i need to see her. damn, ano bang nangyayari sa akin? hindi naman ako ganito. f**k that innocent face of her! argh!
Akmang maglalakad ako palabas ng biglang bumukas ang pinto, kaya naman napakunot noo ako.
"What the? hindi ka ba marunong kumatok, Riyi?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zeron. But Someone wants to see you."
"Tell them, I'm busy. Didn't I told you to cancel all my appointment?"
"But sir, she was persistent. She said, she just want to talk to you."
"Stop, I'm going somewhere. cancel all my appointment."
"But sir---"
Hindi ko na s'ya pinansin pa at saka naglakad palabas. May sumupil pa na munting ngiti sa aking labi sa isiping makikita ko s'yang muli.
Ngunit gayon na lamang ang pagkagulat ko ng makita ko sa mismong harapan ko ang babaeng gusto kong makita.
the f**k? what is she doing here? kilala n'ya ba ako? gusto n'ya ba akong makita? may kailangan ba s'ya sa akin?
"Hi! kuya na nasa park! we've met again!"
Ngiting-ngiti n'yang sambit habang kumaway pa ang kamay n'ya. I was on state of shocked all i can do is to stare at her.
Gulat pa rin akong nakatitig sa kan'ya. f**k. Not until she said something that made me blush.
"Hi, hehe. I'm that beautiful? hehe."
Mabilis akong napaiwas ng tingin at saka tumikhim.
"Ehem. Why are you here? to apologize again? no need, I have already forgiven you."
"huh?"
Nagtatakha n'yang sambit. Ang cute nga e kase bakas sa mukha n'ya ang pagtatakha.
"Diba nandito ka para magsorry sa akin?"
"Po? Ay, hindi po. Nandito po ako para kausapin po si Mr. Zeron."
"What?"
Gulat kong sambit. Nagtatakha pareho ang mga mukha namin, kaya naman wala sa sariling sabay kaming napalingon kay Riyi. Na may nagtatanong na mga tingin.
"Ahm. M-mr Zeron, I was talking about her. She wants to talk to you."
Kinakabahang sambit ni Riyi. Alam n'ya kase na ayoko ng may nagpapapasok sa kumpanya ko ng walang pahintulot ko.
Probably he was shaking. Ngunit palalagpasin ko ito, dahil ang gusto kong makita ay ang babaeng nakatayo sa harapan ko. Sino ba naman ako para paalisin ang magandang dilag na tulad n'ya?
And f**k. What did i just say a while ago? f**k. I really thought she was here because she wants to apologize. Damn it.
