"Can we talk? Again?" Narinig kong sabi niya pero hindi ako dumilat. If he wants to talk he's free to say whatever he wants pero I'm done talking earlier. "Belle." I still didn't answer him "I know you're awake. Can we talk."
"If you want to talk, you're free to talk. Wala sakin ang bibig mo Andrada. At tapos na ako magsalita kanina kaya makikinig nalang ako ngayon."nakapikit ko pading sabi
" I want us to talk about our past."
"What's there to talk about the past? It's basically all in the past now Andrada. Can't you just let go of that and move on? I'm sure you can do that."mapait kong ngiti " Like how you choice someone over me. Over us."
"I just want to know why did you leave me."that's when I decide to open my eyes ant sit up. I look at him and smile
" Because that's what you all wanted me to do."
"I don't understand."
"That's what I am saying *sigh*... Go to your mom. She knows everything Zy. And you only listen to her when its between us." I stood up and left him again there. Tuloy tuloy lang ako sa paglalakad hanggang sa makapasok ako sa kwartong tinutulugan ko at nilock ito. Gusto kong mapag isa. I walk to the balcony and look at the horizon that is now dimming when I began to remember why we are like this now.

It's our ninth monthsary and I am very excited to surprise Zyrielle. I readied the place and foods also my gifts. I need to fix myself and fetch him. Lagi nalang kasi nya akong sinusurprise but this past few days he seems so busy so ako naman ang magsusurprise sa kanya. Alam kong nasa opisina pa sya dahil tinawagan ko ang sekretarya nya kanina so maliligo muna ako at mag aayos.
After an hour I am ready. I take off to his office. Binati naman ako ng ilang nakakita sa akin. Nakangiti ako ng malawak dahil kilala naman nila ako sa pagiging masayahin. Nang bumukas ang pinto ng elevator ay diretso lang ang lakad ko. Bubuksan ko na sana ang pinto ng bumukas na ito at niluwa noon ang mama ni Zyrielle. Seryoso ito kaya napalunok ako. Di man nya ako gusto para kay Zy dahil akala niya ay mahirap ako at piniperahan ang anak nya ay yumuko parin ako para gumalang
"Good evening po T---"
"BUNTIS AKO ZYRIELLE! AND I NEED YOU! PLEASE" Bigla akong napatayo ng diretso at nakita ang nasa likod ni Mrs. Andrada. Si Sarah umiiyak at inaalo ni Zyrielle habang yakap ito. Biglang parang piniga ang puso ko. "P-please."
"Don't cry Sarah. Please don't cry masama sayo ang sobrang pag iyak." Narinig ko pang alo ni Zy na parang hinahalukay ang tyan ko "You know I can't let any thing happen to you. You know I love y---"
"V." Hindi ko na narinig ang sasabihin ni Zy ng tawagin ako ng mama nya at tuluyang idara ang pinto. Ang huling nakita ko nalang ay ang paghalik ni Zy sa ulo ng dalaga at pagtulo ng luha sa aking mata. "Iha, pasensya na sa naabutan mo. Tara sa baba tayo mag usap."I know she's not sincere. I know what's happening and what will happen next. Kaya I calm my nerves and take a deep breath.
Sumunod ako sa kanya at pumasok sa elevator, walang imik na pumunta kami sa coffee shop sa baba ng buildong na pagmamay ari nila. Sa pinakagilid kami pumwesto. Pagkatapos ay agad syang umupo "I know you knew about Sarah being my son's ex girlfriend and my goddaughter. At alam kong narinig mo din ang sinabe nya kanina." Hindi ako tumango, hindi din ako sumagot. I just calm myself for reservation. May kinuha sya sa bag nya at pagkatapos nilapag sa harap ko "And I know this is enough for you to live a peaceful and normal life. You can start on your own now because I'm sure my son will not be going to you." And there in front of me, a million peso check that made my blood boil. Sumandal ako at huminga ng malalim tsaka sinalubong ang tingin nya
"I know you don't want me for your son because you don't know me too well ma'am. But I didn't know you can be this heartless to pay my love for him. I am not a gold digger for the record and I respected you for being his mother." Pinatapang ko naman ngayon ang sarili ko "I may not be known by the elites because I decided it that way. And my parents respect my decision but this humiliation is too much. I am betrayed by your son minutes ago and now you are disrespecting my love for him. and also disrespecting me as a woman"
"Hah! Don't act as an educated person in front of me young lady. I know you only love my son for his wealth. Bakit? Kulang ba ang isang milyon?"I picked the check and tear it in front of her and she's so shock by that
" Tell your oh-so-loving son that he can do everything he wants. He is free with this relationshit with me. And I will go now before you humiliate yourself Mrs. Andrada. Nice to see you and hope we don't cross paths again."sabay tayo ko at mabilis na humakbang palayo sa kanya. Sa kanila.

I hate tears... Ilang taon na ang lumipas pero pag naaalala ko padin ang nangyare di ko maiwasang di masaktan. After that revelation and humiliation I got, I drove a hundred miles and cry my heart out to a place where I can be alone. After few hours of crying I made sure to check my health and eat then get back to my parents house. They were shocked but they were also happy that I went home because for the last nine months I've been living with Zy alone.
That's night I let myself happy and nilambing ko ang parents ko but when the morning comes I left a letter for them and flew to Greece.
I settled down and fix myself although I'll cry if I'll am remembering my pains but I need to be strong. And after a year I met Levi and Flinne and they saw my unstable state so they offer my goods.
Hanggang sa lumipat kaming tatlo ng Germany. Actually sinama lang nila ako pauwe dahil dun talaga sila nakatira. Levi and Flinne are cousins. And Levi is my brother's friend while Flinne don't have any idea about me. And because I know the circle, I made them a contract that they won't tell anyone my whereabouts and the details about me. Lagi padin naman akong nagpapadala ng sulat kay mom pero walang address. Hindi din nila ako matatrack in case they want to investigate dahil I am a professional intelligence agent of a private security company that I built four years ago.
Now that I remembered, I dialed my secretary's number and she immediately picked it up. Good
"Yes boss?"
"Track me down and get someone to fetch me."
"ASAP?"
"Yes. Immediately Marshall."
"Copy boss. I'll contact our base in the Philippines and let them get you."
"Message me for how long and do it quietly."
"Roger that." Then the line died. Now I just need to sleep and wait for my ride.
