DENIAL SERIES: BOOK 1

4

Dahil late natulog si Nicole ay alas diyes na syang nagising kinabukasan.

"ahhhh" - pagi ingay nito habang nagis stretch ng katawan. Para syang namamanhid dahil sa pagkakabaluktot niyang pagtulog.

Suminghap ulit siya ng hangin para marelax. At nagpush up ng limampo para marelax na sya ng tuluyan.

Dumiretso siya sa banyo upang magmouthwash at maligo. At dahil tinatamad syang magluto ay kumain nalang sya ng stock niyang cake sa fridge. At habang kumakain ay napapa-isip siya.

Bigla ay may narinig siyang humintong sasakyan sa harap ng bahay kaya sinipat niya ito mula sa bintana at dahil nakilala niya ang kotse ay inaasahan niya ng marami pa ang susunod na dadating. Tinungo niya ang pinto at inunlock ito sabay pagtago niya sa side ng pinto.

*knock knock knock*

Hinayaan niya lang ito kaya unti unti itong bumukas at pumasok ang dalawang tao kaya naitago ako sa likod ng pintuan. Napangisi naman ako at tsaka pinatay ang ilaw.

*fck! Ali dapat tinawagan mo siya bago tayo pumasok! " -sigaw ni mate.

" wag ka ngang maingay! "- ali hissed back.

" BOOO! "- panggugulat ko sakanila kaya nagsihiyawan sila at sinugod ako.

" Tarantado ka! Ba't ka nanggugulat diyan! Kainis to! "- sigaw sakin ni Nate tsaka ako hinampas ngunit nasangga ko ito.

Si Ali naman ay naunang nahihimasmasan at dumiretso sa kusina.

" HAHAHAHAHA that was epic" - pagtatawa ko.

"epic mo mukha mo!" - inis na saad nitong si mate at dumiretso narin sa kusina kaya sumunod naman ako sakanila habang malaki ang ngiti sa labi.

"What the hell Nicole wala man lang bang makakain na matino dito except those cakes?" - ali frowned at me.

"I'm busy."-simpleng sagot ko nalang at umupo sa dating pwesto at sumubo ng cake.

Maya maya narin ay nagsidatingan ang tatlo ko pang kaibigan kaya naging mas maingay ang bahay.

Being with them in one year during review for board, I can tell that I'm attached but I trust only one in our friendship. He knows everything about my past accidentally. Hindi mawawala sakin ang minsan magkaroon ng doubts. Marami ang nag-bago sakin since I was with them for 1 year. And Gail, my college friend is still preparing for her board. We still communicate tho, she always tell me what she's upto and plans.

One week pass since I asked them for help and because I need this five ma'fckers I let them stay in my place that I think I'll be regretting for lifetime.

" hey you dumbass wake up!" - I shouted.

Nate is still on the floor making himself comfortable while hugging the throw pillow. Nathan is the childish guy in the squad, can't believe he's a soldier and master hacker.

I switches my gaze on the sofa and I saw Aligren "Ali" who's sleeping straightly with headphones on his ears. He's a fil'am who most likely to stay here in Philippines. Ali is an electrical engineer who chose to use his knowledge unassociated with wirings on lights or what so ever but instead he make bombs.

Tinignan ko bawat sulok ng sala ngunit diko makita ang tatlo so I step in the kitchen and there I saw Green laying in the table with his legs cross. This one is a martial artist master who helped and trained me. He's also a teacher in a private school. And he is whom I talked through phone call to do a favor.

I frowned when I can't find those two lovebirds. Not literally lovebirds but those two is unseparatable. One of them can't go somewhere without each other. I make my way to the guestroom and knock. No one opened it so I did.

Napakamot nalang ako ng nakita kong natutulog pa sila habang magkayakap. I grimace at them.

Ugh disgusting.

They're Vincent and Zoro. Vincent is nothing but a childish mfcker who can manipulate every single person whom he talked to. And there's Zoro the most intelligent among us.

I sighed and quit to wake them up. They partied last night for Nate's birthday so no wonder they're still in bed, i mean everywhere.

I prepared myself for work instead and ate cake for breakfast. It's Saturday so it's okay if I'll arrive late.

I parked infront my two-floored office and smile as I read the sign board. "SPARK CONSTRUCTION INC." with a slogan reads "we construct dreams". I only have one security guard, and three working staffs but nevertheless, my company is listed in the most paid company here in the Philippines.

"Boss good morning!" - bati sakin ni Ryle pagkapasok ko ng office as well as Claudine and aidie.

"Boss the forth project will be done this afternoon. They're just cleaning and making a final accomplishments."- Claudine informed so I nodded.

" Okay I'll inform Mr. Villarde." - I answered and make my way to my office.

I informed our client as I walked in my office, Mr. Villarde is said that he is so grateful and happy. He also said that he'll be transferring his payment ASAP.

I was in the middle of checking building and house designs from Claudine the Architect when a knock interrupted.

" come in"- I said. Aidie rushed to enter the room.

" Boss we have a problem outside." - she panicked'.

Tumayo ako at lumabas nasa likod ko naman si Aidie.

And at the counter, I saw a man in suit at dinuduro si Ryle.

" I'm so sorry sir but we're not going to accept more projects and I'm telling you this for countless time. "- mahinahong inporma ni Ryle pero batid kong inis na sya.

" I told you I need it! Where is  she by the way? I want to talk to her.!"- he shouted at Ryle.

I've been standing here for a few minutes trying to remember this man. The moment I finally realized my mood changes.

" What do you need?" - I asked.

He turned to look at me and smirked.

" Finally Ms. Alvares. "

I controlled myself not to show anger on my facial expression. I looked at him blankly.

He faked a cough when I didn't answer him. And pointed Ryle.

" This guy right here is not accepting my appointment, so I want to talk to you instead Ms. Alvares. I want-"- he didn't finished his words when I cut him off.

" My staff is just doing his job as I ordered him to do mister, is that hard to understand? "- prangka kong saad kaya napatigil siya ngunit tumawa ito at tumingin sa mga tauhan niya sa likod niya at tumingin uli sakin.

" Don't tell me youre rejecting me, I'm Arthur Ferrer. "- he said sarcastically.

Ako naman ang ngumisi ngayon.

" I won't tell you then. "- nakita ko kung paano pumangit ang timpla ng mukha niya sa sinabi ko.

He's on his eyeglasses. If I'm not wrong I can tell he's in 50s. Masyadong kita sa postura niya ang karangyaan.

" and don't expect me to talk to you politely after I saw you pointing and scolding my staffs."- I blankly said.

" you piece of s-" - he is so frustrated but I cut him off again.

" the door is widely open so move your ass out my office!" - padarag kong sabi na mas lalong nagpagalit sa kanyang kilay na kulang nalang ay magsuntukan.

I like the view.
