The Past or The Present?

Chapter 1

A/N This is not the original chapter 1, I back read and found out that the original part is kinda lame di rin sya makatotohan that's why I decided to revised this part and replace it with a new one. I hope that you'll keep on reading guys!

********************************

"Fatima I'm sorry." those words that I've been longing to hear, it hit a part in my heart na syang nagpatigil sa pagkain ko. As I looked at him I saw a tear fell from his eyes. Nanlambot ang puso ko, ayokong makita syang nasasaktan ng dahil na naman sa akin. So I held his hand and smile at him. I am willing to forgive him, I am ready to listen on his explanation.

He stand up and kneel infront of me. "Fatima, I'm sorry I just made a choice... I'm sorry if I let you go. Everything happens so fast..."

I cupped his face and look directly in his eyes. When suddenly I sense that someone is watching us.

I saw a set of eyes, those eyes...

What is Vinn doing here?

He's standing and looking on
our table.

He then left the establishment. Agad naman akong napatayo but Chanz hold my arm.

"Fatima hear my explanation first."

As I looked at him and then at the door where Vinn walked away I saw Alex at agad din nyang sinundan si Vinn. Paano na ito? Ano ng gagawin ko?

Phone beep...

From: MyMan

7:15PM Feb 2

Pipindutin ko na sana ang reply button ng biglang magring ang phone ko pagtingin ko sa caller ID ko biglang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko.

Calling...

MyMan +63916*********

It's been 7 years pero bakit ganito pa din epekto mo sa akin? Agad ko naman sinagot ang tawag..

"Hi..."

I smiled "Hi Bee.. Are you on your way home?"

"Not yet, I just miss you that's why I called you."

Ano ba?! Vinn Lorenzo Dy wag kang ganyan! Yung mga alaga kong butterflies nagaalburoto na!

"I miss you too boo, are you driving?" I asked him,

Narinig ko ang pagngisi nya sa kabilang linya. At oo alam ko ang pinagkaiba kapag naglalakad sya o nagmamaneho siguro napansin ko na din yan dahil sa tagal narin namin na magkasama kahit nga siguro nasa malayo yan o nasa gitna ng maraming tao makikilala at makikilala ko din sya agad.

"No I'm not Ms. Bautista *beep* shit! Biglang left turn naman to!" he burst out on the other line.

"Oh really mister?" I asked him

"Haha got me, I'm sorry it won't happen again."

"It is much better to be safe right? You can call me anytime or anywhere but not while you're driving. You already know that? Right?" I heard him heave a deep breath.

"Okay boo see you later, sorry it won't happen again. Iloveyou!"

"Iloveyou most" then I bid goodbye to him and ended our conversation. Agad akong napasandal sa swivel chair at hinilot ang sentido ko. Masyado na akong stress dahil narin sa opening ng bagong branch namin sa tagaytay it will be our third branch kaso nga lang mas hassel kasi malayo dito sa Quezon City dito kasi nakatayo ang pinakaunang branch namin at yung pangalawang branch naman ay sa Eastwood and to celebrate our 15th Anniversary ay panibagong branch ang binuksan namin na ginawa na namin out of town para naman sa mga turista na dumadayo sa naturang lugar.

Hindi ko na namalayan ang oras dahil sa ginawa kong inventory ng biglang may kumatok at dahang dahang binuksan ang pintuan ng aking opisina. Agad akong napaangat ng ulo and there he is wearing a white long sleeves na tinupi hanggang siko at nakabukas ang dalwang butones ng kanyang polo and black slacks and black leather shoes and of course ang kanyang pamatay na mga ngiti.

Bumalik lang ako sa realidad ng bigla syang magsalita "Drooling myboo?" then he smirked I rolled my eyes and cross my arms in my chest.

I must say that he's good looking, but I didn't fall in love with his looks he came into my life unexpectedly. It was during when I was about to give up in believing that true love exist... I'm badly hurt and was afraid to fall in love again but, he prove me wrong and he made me feel what true love is.

"Too much confidence huh? Alam mo magkape nalang tayo para kabahan ka naman sa mga pinagsasabi mo." Pagbibiro ko sa kanya.

"I don't need that kasi sa titig mo pa lang kinakabahan na ako."

"Oh really?" Then he walk towards my table and kiss me on my forehead.

"Ikaw lang nakakagawa nun, di ko na kailangan ng kahit ano, because you, you're my KRYPTONITE."

A wide smile form in my face, he often do this kind of thing but when he does trust me magigising talaga ang butterflies sa tyan mo.
