Chapter 54 [Compatible]

The whole space of the room has been filled with deafening silence. My lips are trembling because I wanted to say something but I realized that I don't owe him any explanation.

"How long have you been seeing him?" nakatungo ang kanyang ulo, hindi inaalis ang tingin sa nakalatag na mga papel sa coffee table. Sa anggulong iyon ay kitang-kita ko ang pag-igting ng kanyang panga, halatadong kinokontrol ang anumang emosyong nararamdaman niya.

"S-Sino?" nangangatal ako kahit iisang salita na lamang ang lumabas sa bibig ko. In a blink of an eye, he raised his head with such piercing eyes. Anong problema nito? Bakit ganyan siya kung makaarte?

"Boris." he muttered the guy's name that he ordered to get out a few minutes ago. "How long have you been seeing my personal driver?" he asked, his eyes still piercing through my soul.

"Your personal driver? He's your personal driver??" pag-uulit ko dahil hindi ko magawang sikmurain ang binanggit niya. That guy from the bar is the governor's personal driver?

Imbes na sagutin ang aking katanungan ay umiling-iling lang siya sa kawalan, animo'y dismayado sa kanyang mga nalaman. If that is true, then that only means I had casual sex with his personal driver? I wanted to burst out in laughter because that is just plain ridiculous. Nang mapaawang ang bibig ko ay pinanlisikan niya ako ng mga mata.

"What's so funny?" puna niya dahil sa hindi ko namalayang reaksyon sa aking mukha. He was sucking on his bottom lip while staring daggers at me.

"N-Nothing. I didn't know he's your driver. Anyway, I wasn't seeing him. It only happened once." bigla akong nagsisi na nagpaliwanag ako gayong wala nga pala akong utang na eksplenasyon sa kanya. It's none of his business so I should stop explaining myself to him.

"Once? He's fucking engaged, Harper." madiing pahayag niya na parang hindi ko pa alam. I acted calm and unaffected by the revelations. I have to be seen as unbothered so he can't judge me in any way.

"I know. Abigail, right? So hindi pa pala sila naghiwalay?" kuryoso kong tanong pero tanging pagkunot lang ng kanyang noo ang aking natanggap. Ano ba 'yan, gusto ko pa naman sanang makibalita kung ano nang nangyari sa kanila after that night na nahuli kami pero hindi naman nakikisama 'tong isa.

"What?" I asked bluntly because I don't understand all of the dark expressions he's giving me. Ayaw ko na sanang pag-usapan pa ang tungkol doon pero siya naman itong nag-open ng ganoong topic.

And instead of giving me an answer, he aggressively grabbed the papers on top of the coffee table and signed it hastily. Pinanood ko siya at napansin kong parang minadali niya ang pagpirma kaya ang ibang papel ay halos mapunit na. Of course, with his huge hands he can easily rip the paper or anything he tries to hold.

"It's done. Now get the hell out of here." he grumbled in his hoarse voice and walked back to his desk, leaving me alone with the signed papers. I should be happy now that the business permit is signed but with the ill behavior he showed, I felt the same stinging pain in my chest.

Leave.

I don't wanna see your face again.

We're over.

Get the hell out of here.

Dahan-dahan akong napa-buntong hininga habang iniinda ang kirot sa aking dibdib. As much as I want to get even, I feel that it won't change anything. Hindi mababawasan ang sakit na naradamdaman ko. Hurting him won't help my healing process. I think one of the worst feelings is finding out that you didn't mean as much to someone as you thought you did, and you just feel stupid, and because you looked desperate about caring too much.

Nang tumayo ako kabig-kabig sa aking dibdib ang mga papeles ay natanaw ko siyang nakaupo na sa kanyang swivel chair, hinihilot ang kanyang magkabilang sintido. I stood in front of him and despite his hurtful words, I still have the guts to express my gratitude to him.
