Chapter 02

C A L I S T A

Sa wakas at nakarating na kami sa Downtown District kung saan naka detain ang kapatid ko. Hindi ko maiwasang mainis sakaniya. Marami na akong iniisip pero nakikidagdag pa siya. If only she can be responsible enough then my life would be a little bit easy.

"We're here."Batid ni Kazuya. Huminga naman ako ng malalim at walang sabi-sabi'y lumabas ng kotse. I wouldn't thank him. Siya ang may kasalanan kung bakit mas naging inconvenient saakin ang pagpunta dito.

"Thanks?"He said sarcastically. Dinapuan ko siya ng tingin at inirapan ito. He is so annoying.

Nagmadali akong pumasok sa loob ng police station na agad naman akong pinagtinginan ng mga tao at mga pulis, why? is this their first time to see a beaut?

I just took a deep breath and went to the front desk.

"Excuse me sir, I'm looking for Dhiane Mackenzie Laofeng."I asked to the policeman.

Napatingin naman siya saakin at napatigil nang makita ako. Pero kalaunan ay nawala rin ang paningin nito saakin.

"U-uhh saglit lang po Ma'am."sabi niya habang may hinahanap sa logbook niya.

"Cubicle 12, with Detective Carpio."He stated and I just nooded and ran quickly to see my sister.

Nang makarating ay natanaw kong prenteng nakaupo ang kapatid ko habang seryoso siyang kinakausap ng detective.

I know that she's not interested. Wala na ata siyang kinakatakutan.

"Mackenzie!"I yelled that caused everyone to look at me including her and the detective. this woman!

Madali akong lumapit dito, agad itong tumayo at sinalubong ako ng malawak na ngiti.

"Hi sis! Great to see you here!"She said with a delighted tone but I gave her a sharp look. She glanced the person behind me and raised her brow.

"And you brought your?"She asked curiously. napatingin ako sa likod ko at doon kong napagtanto na sinundan ako ni Kazuya. I bite my lips and look to her.

"Long story."I answered and sat on the chair to talk with the detective.

"Sir what happened to my sister?"I asked and he sighed.

"Well, Ms. Laofeng was caught in an illegal drag racing. Nang magkahulihan ay nagawa niya pang makatakas kaya hinabol siya ng mga pulis. But she bumped into a car at the Copper west lane. The compliant wants to file a case sgainst her." he explained. May hinanap siyang dokumento at may binasa.

"Reckless imprudence resulting to damage to property."He stated at agad naman akong napaawang ng bibig at napatingin nang seryoso kay Mackenzie. Napahinga ako ng malalim at napatingin kay Mackenzie.

"I know that my sister committed something horrible, but as long as on going yung due process hindi niyo siya puwedeng i-detain for interrogation."Saad ko at may kinuhang calling card sa loob ng bag ko. Luckily, I still have the calling card of the attorney that Ariadne recommended.

"This is our attorney, if you have any question and need something, call him directly."I said with a very serious tone. Akmang magsasalita pa ito nang inunahan ko ito at tumayo na ako mula sa pagkakaupo.

"I have to pick up my sister now, don't worry she won't run. She'll comply."I said . I held her hands and walked away.

Nang makalabas kami sa loob ng investigation department ay agad ko siyang kinurot ng malakas sakaniyang braso.

"Ouch! Bakit mo ko kinurot?!"She complained and I just raised my brow.

"At may gana ka pa talagang mag complain? Reckless imprudence resulting to damage to property? Come on, Dhianne Mackenzie! This is your 6th time screwing up! hindi ka pa ba natututo?"I exclaimed. Precious! I really need to hire her a personal lawyer. She's getting a lot worse than before.

"It's not my fault na mabagal pagpapatakbo ng babae yun! and her car is only BMW. I can buy her a new one naman ah?! kahit siya pwede kong bilhin."Inis niyang suwestyon at akmang sasabunutan ko siya nang may biglang humawak sa kamay ko.

"Enough, this is not the right place to make a scene."He calmly stated.

Agad naman akong napatingin sakaniya at napaawang ang aking bibig. How could he say that?

"She's my sister and so I have the right to do and say what I want."Inis kong batid at nilingon ko siya. He's pestering me...a lot!

Pinagtaasan din ako ng kilay nito at seryoso itong nakatingin saakin na tila pinipigilan ako nito.

"Give her decency. You can beat her up when no one is around."Seryoso niyang sagot saakin. Agad ko namang hinatak ang kamay ko at tumingin kay Dhianne na simpleng nakangiti kay Kazuya na tila masaya siya na kinampihan siya nito.

"You will go home today. Dad has something to say."I said and walked out.

How dare he lectured me? Sa pagkakaalam ko ay hindi ko naman siya kaaano-ano and now pumapapel siya sa buhay ko? Gosh! where he got the nerve?!

Nang makalabas ako ay agad akong nag-intay sa kotse at marahang huminga ng malalim dahil sa mga pinaggagawa niya.

There's no room to load up my problem with him. I have my work and Mackenzie to questioned my life.

Nagulat ako nang tumunog ang kotse at nakita ko namang naunang lumabas si Mackenzie. Agad naman siyang sumunod dito upang pumunta sa kinatatayuan ko.

Nang magkatinginan kami ni Kazuya ay agad ko itong hindi pinansin at naunang pumasok sa loob ng kotse.

Of course i sat in the shotgun seat. Nakakahiya naman kung sa likod pa ako, baka maghablutan pa kami ni Mackenzie dahil sa katigasan ng ulo niya.

Nang makapasok ako sa kotse ay agad namang sumakay si Kazuya habang pumwesto naman si Mackenzie sa likod ng kotse.

"Nice car."Saad ni Mackenzie at ngumisi naman si Kazuya.

"Well this car almost turn into junk."He stated and started the engine. Napakunot naman ang noo ko at napaawang ang aking bibig na tumingin sakaniya.

"Thanks to you, my car broke."I stated. Napangisi naman ito.

"Is he your new guy, Ate?"Mackenzie asked.

"Mackenzie, shut up."I answered and crossed my arms.

"What? I'm just asking. init naman ng ulo. Monthly mo 'no?"She teased. I heard him chuckled so I just gave a heavy sigh.

"To answer your damn question, we are not dating and we will never going on a date. He did a lot to jinx me at ayoko nang dagdagan pa yun, Happy?"I said while looking at her very pissed.

"I don't date virgins."He stated at agad namang napaawang ang bibig ni Mackenzie sa gulat sakaniyang sinabi. Kung pwede lang itulak to palabas matagal ko ng ginawa.

"Oh yeah? kung sabagay, you're just very fond of taking advantage to those "Virgins"." I mocked na agad naman niyang pinihit ng malakas ang break. Muntikan na akong mapasubsob dahil sa ginawa niya.

He looked at me intently and leaned his face towards me.

"Don't worry, you're an exception."He stated in a very flirty way. Nayamot naman ang mukha ko habang nakatitig sa mga mata niya.

ilang saglit nakatigil ang kotse at nakatitig lang kami sa isa't isa. If he thinks that I can be one of his victims well ngayon pa lang sinasabi ko na, i will never.

Because one thing that I don't like about him is that, he is Kazuya. The one who took my virginity.

"baka gusto niyong ituloy na lang yan sa ibang lugar at nakaharang kayo sa daanan."Batid ni Mackenzie at napalingon naman ako dahil may mga bumubusina na saamin.

Hindi na ako umimik at tumingin na lamang sa kawalan dahil sa pagkainis ko mula sakaniya.

Nagsimula ulit siyang mag drive kaya tahimik na lamang akong nakamasid sa kawalan, bakit ba lagi kami pinagtatagpo nito?

We've met multiple times and so it bothers me. Ayoko na nga siyang nakikita tapos ito na naman.

"Where will I drop you?"He asked while driving. hindi na ako sumagot dahil sa inis ko mula sakanilang dalawa. Pero agad namang sumagot si Mackenzie.

"Do you know Aucklie Place?"I heard she asked. "Just drop us there."she added.

Ilang saglit lamang ay napatahimik na ang paligid, hindi akong umiimik dahil pagod na akong magsalita.

"By the way, Thank you Mr?"she asked.

"Kazuya...Kazuya Volzki."He stated.

So his surname is Volzki? Sounds very familiar.

"Volzki?"She asked. "Are you the owner of Voltz Institute of Technology?"She added.

"Y-yeah."he answered.

Bigla naman akong napatigil sa sinabi niya, so he must be filthy rich? It's a multi- billion dollar company in west and was known for its best technology in hacking, programming and data security.

halos ang UN sakanila nakikipag partnership in preserving data. Even the NASA.

"f**k are you serious? then you must be extremely wealthy."She assumed.

So this man? who I often yelling at is one of the most well-known people in the tech field?

Bigla naman akong napalunok. So what if he's rich? mayaman din naman ako. Hindi dapat ako magsisi sa mga ginawa ko sakaniya because he really is a f*****g jerk. And that's a fact.

Naramdaman kong lumapit ang ulo ni Mackenzie sa pagitan namin kaya agad akong napalingon at halatang nakangisi ito sa aming dalawa.

" Would you date my sister?"She asked na agad naman akong napatigil dahil sa sinabi niya. Itong bibig talaga ni Mackezie walang tigil.

Nanahimik kami ng saglit dahil hinihintay ni Mackenzie ang kaniyang sagot.

"Well as long as her PMS is gone, why not?"He stated at agad naman napatili si Mackenzie at tinulak ako ng mahina dahil tila kinilig ito.

Biglang bumilis ang t***k ng puso ko which is very weird. f**k ano 'tong nararamdaman ko?

Napaigiting ang panga ko a tumingin ng seryoso kay Mackenzie.

"Sorry but I can't sacrifice my PMS just for you, I rather die virgin."I stated at napasandal ng marahan.

" Not anymore."He added at tila napatigil ako sa sinabi niya. Halatang nangaasar ito kaya agad naginit ang ulo ko sakaniya.

Bigla akong natahimik at wala akong masagot sa sinabi niya. Great! just great! and now he is using that memory to tease me.

Palibhasa ay hindi niya matanggap na for someone like him. Na maraming nagkakandarapa, ay isang katulad ko ang nag reject.

"Ooh..I smell something..sexy bit fishy."Mackenzie teased so I glared at him sharply.

"Shut your filthy mouth, Mackenzie."I warned her. She acted like she is zipping her mouth.

Napahinga ako ng malalim at napatingin kay Kazuya.

Okay sana siya. He is handsome, sexy and alluring man. Isama pang tanyag at napakayaman nito. Of course, women will go after him.

But I'm not one of those women. I mean-- he is my type but of course exception siya dahil hindi na maganda ang image niya saakin.

Kahit na sinayang ko sakaniya ang virginity ko ay mas manghihinayang ako kung makikidagdag pa ako sa mga babaeng nahuhumaling sakaniya.

"Do you have something to tell?"He asked and glanced at me. Bigla naman akong nagulat dahil hindi ko napansin nakatitig na pala ako sakaniya. Umiling na lamang ako at gumawi ng tingin sa daan.

"None."I said with a casual tone.

Ilang oras lang rin ay natahimik kami sa kotse. Kasalukuyang nagce-cellphone ng taimtim si Mackenzie habang ako naman ay nakatanaw sa kawalan.

Tumigil ang kotse nang matanaw na namin ang mansyon. Obviously, it's my Dad's place. Luckily I earned a lot of money kaya na-afford ko ng bumili ng sarili kong place. And I alsoc pay for my bills.

Agad akong bumaba at hindi nag bitaw ng kahit ano mang salita dahil ayoko na siyang makita. I can't bear seeing his face so kaya maganda ng lumayo-layo soya saakin.

Akmang mauuna na ako papasok ng gate nang bigla may humagip saaking kamay. Nang tignan ko ito ay napahinga ako ng malalim nang mapagtanto na si Mackenzie 'to.

"What?"I asked at sinenyasan niya ako. she wants me to say something to Kazuya who went outside of his car.

I breathed out and looked at him. Halos wala akong ganang tignan ito. Maging siya ay seryoso lang nakagawi saamin.

"You can go home."I said casually pero bigla akong kinurot ni Mackenzie.

Tila tumawa lang ito nang ikinatigil ko. He's laughing sexily which made me blushed.

"Ate ang bastos mo."Inis na saad ni Mackenzie kaya marahan akong napatingin dito.

"What do you want me to say ba? Na thank you for breaking my car? No thanks."I said sarcastically and went inside the house.

Ayoko nang makipag plastikan sakaniya. Of course I won't thank him 'no. Kung tutuusin siya ang may kasalanan.

Nang makapasok ako sa loob ng mansyon ay sumalubong saakin ang human size frame namin ni Mackenzie. She was shy back then, she is a geek person who loves reading. Unlike me, academically and business ang field ko while siya, aside from being smart academically, napaka street smart niya at napakagaling sa application. She is wiser than I am.

Nang makapasok ako ay agad akong sinalubong ni Manang Lena.

"Madame mabuti't dumating na kayo. Nandito narin po si Ms. Gina."She stated at tumango na lamang ako. Tita Gina is my step mom. Namatay si mom nung ipinanganak niya ako. So he became single again and met my step mom. Kaso hindi parin niya 'to pinapakasalan.

Ewan ko ba sakanila. I don't have any commotions if they want to get married. Kahit na about business matter pa yan ay wala narin akong pakielam because I have my own empire to run.

Pupunta sana ako sa kusina nang biglang bumungad saakin si Tita Gina na may dalang bagong lutong muffins.

"Oh, Anak..you arrived."She said while wearing a graceful smile so I gave her a kiss on her cheeks.

"Hi tita!"I said and saw her put the muffins on the table.

"Where's Dhianne?"she asked softly. sasagot na sana ako nang biglang may magsalita sa likod ko.

"Are you looking for me?"She asked, Mackenzie also kissed her mom on cheeks. Napairap na lamang ako sa inasta niya. She's acting like nothing happened.

Akmang yayakap siya nang bigla na siya pamewangan ni Tita Gina.

"Wag mo ko mahalik-halikan Dhianne Mackenzie, I know what you did."Pagalit ni Tita na aking ikinatawa. Ayan buti nga.

"Mom! it wasn't my fault. Kasalanan ko nagpapatakbo siya ng 40 mi/hr?"Inis niyang batid at hinampas naman siya ng mahina ni Tita.

"Of course it's your fault! sino ba kasing nagsabing sumali ka sa mga ganiyang race? Pinigilan ka na ni Dad mo diba?"She asked. Dapat sasagot pa siya nang makarinig kami ng ubo mula sa aming likuran. Pag lingon ko ay nakita ko si Dad na kakapasok lang mula sa pinto.

Bigla kaming napatahimik tatlo. Inayos ni Dad ang kaniyang salamin at huminga ng malalim. Kasama niya ang mga guards niya because as usual, he is the typical rich old man.

"Hey dad.."I said boringly. Seryoso itong nakagawi saamin at hindi ko na binalak bumeso dahil masama ang timpla nito.

"Both of you, follow me."He stated at agad naman kaming sumunod.

______________________________________________

Nag makapasok kami ay agad sinara ni Mackenzie ang pinto. Tanging kaming tatlo lang ang nasa loob kaya sinimulan na ni dad ang kaniyang mini-seminar.

"I'm not liking your behavior, Dhianne."pambungad nitong napaka-seryoso at hindi ako umimik. because of course, si Mackenzie ang kausap hindi ako.

"How could you join in that stupid illegal drag race huh? Dhianne Mackenzie!"Galit nito at nakayuko lang si Dhianne. Of course pasok sa kaliwang tenga, labas sa kanan.

"It is not my fault that she is stupid to drive 40mi/ph."She stated so he sighed.

"That's not the point Dhianne! you are a Laofeng! you must behave like one! Look at you sister! she is responsible, you must be like her!"He yelled. bigla naman akong nagula sa sinabi ni Dad.

Tinignan ko naman ang mukha niya at hindi maiwasang masaktan. I saw her bit her lips. Ito lang ayoko pag nagagalit si Dad. Nasasaktan niya ang kapatid ko.

Bigla naman ako napahinga ng malalim at napatingin kay Dad.

"Dad watch your word! she is more capable of holding the company more than me."I stated and he looked at me with serious and deadly stare.

"She needs to know her place, Calista! she causes a lot of headaches to all of us including you. Ang laki-laki na ng kapatid mo and yet she's acting like a child"He yelled.

"Are you done?"Madiing tanong ni Mackenzie na agad naman akong napatingin. bago pa makapagsalita si Dad ay agad itong lumabas ng pinto at dinabog ang pinto.

Huminga ako ng malalim. I know that even if she's a strong person, masakit parin para sakaniya ang mga sinasabi ni Dad. Of course, it's his father alangan naman wala siyang pake.

"You shouldn't have said those things to her, Dad! She's my sister and your daughter! so treat us equally!"I said and he just stared at me for a second.

"You love her don't you?"Dad asked.

"Of course, Dad! she is my sister!"

"Then let's have a deal."He said.

He sat down on his chair and look at me.

"I will send you to Hacienda de Amore to learn all about the company. I have pending project there which is the Export Processing Zone."He stated and grabbed a file of paper.

Agad naman akong lumapit dito at tinignan ang mga nakalagay sa paper.

Export processing zone is a foreign-trade zone of special economic zone. this is where the goods being exported, landed, handed and manufactured. I have solved this problem for so many years. I was able to allocate farmers in a place where they can cultivate their agriculture even more. Halos inexpand ko ang agriculture nila by buying lands that surrounds the Hacienda para hindi sila maapektuhan ng project.

"a lot of foreign investors wants to take over the Hacienda because of it's advantage to their business and I want you to monitor this important place. Habang hindi pa nagse-seryoso ang kapatid mo ay gusto kong ikaw ang humawak nito. I want to secure that place."he explained sincerely.

"What's the importance of that place to you?"I asked out of unconscious but Dad stunned from my question.

"Anyway nevermind. Kawawa din ang magsasaka if other businessman will took their source of income."I said and give a heavy sigh.

"I'll just ask my secretary to visit the hacienda then I'll find way to secure this place."I said. I was about to go when he said something which made me froze.

"No Calista. Don't bother. I will send you tomorrow on that place. I want you to say there for couple of month or maybe...a year."He stated at napaawang naman ako ng bibig.

I knew it. I though he's just threatening me! I thought that he have already forgotten what he have said few months ago.

"Dad! I have Fermete Magazine to run! bakit mo ko ipapatapon sa Hacienda?!"Inis kong sabi. at tinignan lang ako nitong seryoso.

"You love your sister right? Then let her give up playing her games and focus on our company. As long as hindi pa niya kaya magseryoso sa buhay then I would not let you manage your Magazine Company."She stated and I couldn't help but to feel frustrated.

"Dad don't do this! I'm passionate about my company! kung gusto mo, si Mackenzie and ipatapon mo doon! nananahimik ako tapos ako guguluhin niyo? That is such a low blow, Dad!"I said while being frustrated.

already have decided, Calista! you will go there tomorrow. I already arranged your schedule. I'll temporarily takeover your company."Saad ni Dad. Pakiramdam ko ay tumiil ang buong sistema ko sa sinabi niya. He's taking my dream away from me.

orked so hard to that company. Blood and sweat!

"You are so unfair, Dad! I hate you1"I said and cried. Tumakbo ako palabas at pumasok sa kwarto ko.

How dare him to decide what should I do in my life?! I hate him!

I laid down and shout very loud on the pillow. This day is so f**k up.

Kinapa ko ang bag ko na kanina ko pa hawak para hanapin ang cellphone ko. I notice that my other phone isn't here.

Ngunit napansin kong tumunog ang phone ko at napaawang ang bibig ko. Its a message from my lost phone.

"Meet me tomorrow at Voltz main bulding at Shore Global City. You left your phone."

To Be Continued...
