His Bed Ways

Chapter Twenty-Three

It's been months since she saw Prick and her heart aching knowing that Prick doesn't really care about her. Hindi man lang ito nag-abalang puntahan siya at kidnapin muli. Nagtatampo siya na alam naman niyang isa ring kamalian.

What did she do months ago? Working at day light and partying at night. Iyon ang ginagawa niya para makalimot naman sa lalaking nagpapatibok ng kaniyang puso.

Yes, tanggap na niyang minamahal niya nga si Prick. Natanggap na niyang mahal nga niya ito at hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin siya nakaka-move on.

Hindi naman kasi ganoon kadaling mag-move on, hindi ba? Nasa proseso ang lahat ng iyon ngunit sinusuway ng puso niya ang proseso at pilit pa ring inaalala ang bawat haplos, yakap, at halik ng lalaki. She must be crazily in love with Prick this way.

She was looking at the images of newly designs of walls and floors while a woman on her mid 40's is discussing about the designs.

Marahan siyang tumango at tumingin sa kaniyang katabing si Roxan na siyang nagmamay-ari ng kumpanya. She was just Roxan's partner. Nagkaroon ng partnership ang kumpanya ng kaniyang ama at kumpanya ni Roxan at siya ang napili upang i-handle ito.

She was not against it, hindi na katulad noon na mareklamo siya sa lahat ng trabaho. She matured and confidently a fine lady now. She should stop acting like a child and be a woman with dignity.

"I like how you combine the arts and colors, Mrs. Grachin. This is a true fashion." She complemented.

Mrs. Grachin smiled and said her thank you's to her. Roxan on the other hand looks so serious while looking at the images. Kumpara sa kaniya, mas mahigpit itong si Roxan kaya't ito ang mas kinatatakutan ng mga trabahante.

"Sorry, I don't like this. I said something new but this is aren't new to my eyes." Roxan said coldly and Cate just sighed.

"I-i'm sorry, ma'am."

Roxan irritatedly sighed. "Go, get some new and put this in a trashbin!" She said and walked away.

Tumayo naman siya at ngumiti sa lahat. "Pasensya na kayo. Mainit na naman ang ulo niya. Just do what she said but don't put this in a trashbin. Meeting adjourned." Pagtatapos niya at mabilis na hinabol si Roxan.

Nakita niyang pumasok ito sa Woman's comfort room. Mabilis siyang pumasok at inalalayan si Roxan na magtungo sa isang cubicle. Doon ito nagsuka ng nagsuka.

Napailing siya. "Don't stress yourself too much, Roxan. Makakasama 'yan sa bata eh."

Roxan glared at her. "Tss. Kung ako lang, Cate, matagal ko na 'tong pinalaglag." Anito at pinunasan ang labi gamit ang tissue.

"Don't be like that, Roxan!" Kunot-noo niyang saad. "Walang kasalanan ang bata. Hindi niya fault na maabot ng semilya ni boy ang matres mo kaya siya nabuo. The baby's innocent."

Napangiwi ito. "Shut up, Cate."

Roxan is two weeks pregnant now. Siya pa lamang ang nakakaalam niyon at ng isa pa nitong kaibigan na hindi niya naman kilala. Nakipag-one night stand kasi kaya ito ang napala.

Tumingin si Roxan sa relo nitong pambisig. "Meron pa tayong 1 hour to prepair."

Napataas ang kilay niya. "Talagang pupunta ka despite of your condition?"

"What? 'Di naman ako lumpo."

She rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Just don't drink wine."

Sabay silang nagpunta sa isang salon at doon na naghanap ng maisusuot sa party. Invited kasi sila sa birthday party ng batang Mayor sa kanilang lugar. Actually, she doesn't really want to attend that damn party because the Vice Mayor keep bugging her for months now. Tila kahit saan siya magpunta ay palaging naroon ang lalaki upang kulitin siya.
