Mr. Torpe meets Ms. Mahiyain Book 2 (A Promise To Keep)

Chapter 12

At that time. Biglang bumukas ang pintuan ng elevator. Jayeanne quickly step in and push the close botton.

Andrei was stunned. What's going on? Am I seeing something? She looks familiar. Or I was just out of my mind. Andrei suddenly felt so exhausted. That would be the reason why he's seeing something or someone. He waits in front of the elevator to open again. Finally he got in.

Samantalang si Jayeanne ay mabilis ng lumabas sa elevator at patakbong tinungo ang exit door. Malakas na kumakabog ang kanyang dibdib halos mabingi na sya sa tunog nito. Nakita niya ang paparating na taxi at pinara ito. Pumasok kaagad at huminga ng malalim. Pakiramdam niya ay nalulunod siya sa sobrang pagkagulat.

Hindi ako maaaring magkamali. Siya yun. Bakit at bakit? Ano bang tanong yun. Hindi ko maintindihan. Hindi ko man lang nalaman at narealize na yung pangalan na naka sulat sa mga documents ay siya pala. Siguro dahil na din sa tagal ko ng di siya nakikita at wala na akong balita tungkol sa kanya. Ang laki na ng pinagbago niya. Siguro nakalimutan na niya ako. Kaya kanina wala man lang siyang reaction. Bakit disappointed ako. Baka nga hindi na niya ako kilala. Sa dami ng babaeng magaganda dito sa America. Ano bang panama ko sa mga blue eyes at blonde hair na mga chicas dito.

At last nakarating na din si Jayeanne sa apartment nila. Tahimik na at patay na ang ilaw. Tulog na si Marie kaya hindi na niya iistorbohin.

Biglang kumulo ang tiyan niya. Senyales na wala pa siyang hapunan at sa kaba na rin.

Hindi maalis sa isip niya ang nangyari kanina. Pero kailangan niyang kalimutan upang makatulog siya ng mahimbing. Pagod at puyat ang nararamdaman niya ngayon. Kaya kailangan ng mahimbing na tulog upang bukas ay maging maayos ang trabaho niya. May tinatapos syang report due na tomorrow.

Andrei doesn't know what to feel. He continue to drive home. Exhaustion fill him up. But there's a feeling of uneasiness. He doesn't know what it is. After he goes to bed. He filled his glass with his favorite rhum and drink. That's the only way that can help him sleep instantly. After that. He lie down and drifted off right away.

Morning sun wakes him up. He can't open his eyes. He still wanted to sleep more. But cannot do it. He has so many things to do. After those conferences and out of town meetings. He finally feels that, his body was very exhausted. His wants to go but his body can't.

He took his phone on the side table and make a call.

"Morning Aaron... I'll be a little bit too late at work. But I'll go there. Just inform my secretary about my schedule today. Alright. Thanks."

He goes back to bed and close his eyes. But couldn't sleep again. Just lie down and doing nothing.

He sigh deeply and remembering what happened last night. Is she really here? Asking his self.

Finally he got up para maligo at pumasok sa office. Marami man siyang alalahanin at obligasyon pero di niya nakakalimutan ang nakaraan.
