Love is Blind

Chapter:27

I was signing out of WD when I saw Emilia walking in and looking for something or...someone. She saw me and walked up to me.

Pinigil ko ang kamay niya sa pag-sampal sa akin. She can't humiliate me lalo na sa harap ng mga katrabaho ko. Tinitigan ko lang siya with my bitch face.

"Ano sa tingin mo ang ginagawa mo?" Binitawan ko ang kamay ni Emilia at inayos ang sarili ko. "May appointment ka ba sa'kin? Kung wala, tabi." I was gonna walk passed her when she pulled my arm. "My shift is finished, Ms. Lim. If you want, you can schedule one with me tomorrow." I smirked when she turned red.

"Alam mo napaka-bitch mo talaga eh ano?" Tumaas lang ang kilay ko sa kaniya. "Maayos na sana kami ni Jonas eh! Umepal ka na naman. Mang-aagaw!" Napatikhim ang mga nasa paligid namin.

Ang babaw. Sa harap talaga ng mga katrabaho ko? Kampante ako kasi I have all the words that would drive her away and never return.

"So...mang-aagaw ang tawag sa'kin? Mang-aagaw ba ako noong sinabi ni Jonas na ako ang mahal niya? Mang-aagaw ba ako noong nag-makaawa siya na huwag akong umalis? Mang-aagaw ba ang tawag doon? Kasi as far as I can tell, he's currently inside my Condo trying to win me back. Hindi ko lang siya pinapaalis kasi nalasing siya." Lumapit sa amin ang guards pero pinigilan ko sila. "You claim na sa'yo si Jonas pero sa akin siya umuwi? Strange."

"Bitch!" She was gonna slap me but I caught her arm.

"Oh, please tell YOUR BOYFRIEND to fix what you have. Kasi noong sinabi kong umalis siya, he insisted to stay and maybe I'm wrong but he told me last night that you were nothing to him?" Aalis na sana ako nang may maalala. I faced her again. "He's been courting me again for the past 3 months now so yeah. Maybe that sums it all up na boyfriend mo ang lalakeng hindi kayang mabuhay nang wala ako."

She stood stunned when people started whisppering about it. Someone's gonna be viral over night. Umalis na ako, I don't have time for this. Nang makauwi ako ay nakaamoy ako ng mabango, I saw Johnson cooking dinner. Lumapit ako at niyakap siya mula sa likod.

Napatalon siya sa gulat at tumingin sa'kin. He smiled when he saw me, aww cute.

"How was work?"

"Exhausting." I said. "May bumisita nga pala sa'kin, she was something."

"Sino?"

"Si Emilia." Biglang pinatay niya ang stove at humarap sa akin. "What?"

"Anong nangyari?"

"I just told her what role she plays. How's your head? Masakit pa?" I asked to get the topic off of that woman.

"Sandali nga. Hindi ka naman niya sinaktan?"

I just shrugged. "She attempted to slap me 2 times if that counts."

"Why does it sound normal na sinugod ka niya?" He asked looking at me like his daughter was caught in a fight.

"Kasi hanggang doon lang siya." I said. "She can barged in my life all she wants, pero kapag sinugod ka niya puputulan kita ng ulo."

"Karie naman." He scratched his nape and looked at me. "Kawawa naman ang talino ko."

"Kawawain mo nga, kapag nakita talaga kitang hinawakan ng babae na 'yon wala na. Ubos na ang chances mo."

"Like that's gonna happen. Marupok ka kaya." Sinapak ko siya ng malakas. "Aray! Oo na mag-luluto na."

"Hindi ka nag-trabaho?"

"Nahh. I told my new secretary that I'll take the day off." He said.

"Sinong sekretarya?"

"Annoying and loud." Ahh si Jessica. "She's with Kalvin, engagement nila ngayon pero hindi alam ni Jessica."

Natanga ako sa narinig ko. "Ano?"

"Engagement. He bought a really expensive engagement ring from Roman's Ancient Jewelry." He said. "800 million ata ang cost."

Ohh...so I just assumed on things again. Pero bakit nasa kaniya ang receipt? Ang weird ng mag-kaibigan na ito.

After dinner we just watched a movie. I felt sleepy and my eye lids were slowly shutting. Patulog na ako nang makarinig ng malakas na katok sa pinto pero hindi sa pinto ko.

It sounds like the door from across of mine. Sinilip ko sa maliit na butas at nakakita ako ng bitch sa harap ng pinto ng unit ni Jonas. Emilia Lim was knocking on his door.

I've had enough of this. Pagod na pagod na ako. So haharapin namin siya, as us the couple she tried to destroy. Napatingin siya sa amin noong umakbay si Jonas sa'kin.

"Jonas!"

Napatigil siya tapos tumingin kay Emilia. "Oh...do you need anything?" He wrapped his arm around me and pulled me close. "Kung wala then I'd like to take my woman in my Condo to show her my surprise."

"J-Jonas...why her?"

Bumitaw si Jonas at lumapit kay Emilia. "Why not her?"

"Bakit hindi na lang ako? I'm not a pig like her!"

"She's curvy...and I like it." Wow he's been into Friends lately. I should watch that again sometime. "Scratch that, I love it."

"Hindi siya ang mga type mo!"

Minasahe ni Jonas ang sentido niya. "Type man o hindi, siya ang mahal ko."

"Pero bakit nga?!" She was whining like a kid. "She's not someone you would prefer!"

"She supports me. She values my personal time. She appreciates me. She is my woman. She loves me." He said like I was so precious. "And she gave me another shot to win her heart. Alam kong nililigawan ko pa ulit siya pero hindi ko na sasayangin pa ang chance na ito. Emilia...scare me all you want, I know someone will always be there kasi she is my light. This darkness we call life is forever a puzzle and she is willing to solve it with me. Gusto niyang kasali siya sa mundo ko at gusto kong isali siya sa mundo ko."

"I hate you." She started hitting Jonas on his chest kaya naitulak ko siya.

"Sige, saktan mo siya. Kakaladkarin kita hanggang makalbo ka." Ouch, Karie. Ikaw ba talaga iyan? "Baka nakakalimutan mo kung sino ang pinili ni Papa sa nanay mo at sa Mama ko." Yep...she's Emilia Lim, daughter of Ericka and George Lim. "Kayang umulit ng nakaraan, sisiguraduhin kong hindi ka na kailanman makakalapit pa sa akin o kay Jonas."

She glared at me then walked away. Tahimik lang kami ni Jonas so I looked at him, he was smirking!

"Ano?"

"Ang tapang mo naman, you love me don't you?"

Sinapak ko siya sa braso. "Weak!" Tinawanan ko siya tapos pumasok ako sa unit ko. Sumunod naman si ugok. "You just let her hit you like that?"

"I was acting alright? Besides," Lumapit siya tapos humawak sa bewang ko. "I had a reason to let you fight her, feisty." He chuckled then kissed my cheek.

Wait lang...I think I'm ready. Tinignan ko si Jonas noong binuksan niya ang TV then he sat next to me. I knew it...sa isang tingin lang alam ko na. Okay...I'm ready.
