LUC VERGARA AND LORIN RIVERA ENGAGEMENT
Iyon ang bumungad sa paningin ko mula sa diaryong dala ni Wena na ibinigay sa akin.
I stood up.
Napakunot ang noo ko nang abutin mula sa kanya iyon. Agad kong binasa ang caption.
Socialite Lorin Rivera has announced her engagement to the mighty and only heir of Vergara business empire, I gasped.
"I bought that on my way here." I saw Wena's face hardened by what the news said.
Binasa kong muli ito, even her finger wearing Luc's so called engagement ring was captured with the price emphasized with it.
It is worth millions.
He's rich. Barya lang sa kanya iyon.
I felt tremble. I sit back in my seat, taken aback.
Lorin was pretty in her long gown at nasa tabi naman niya si Luc na naka- long sleeve and slacks. Bagaman at may kaliitan si Lorin ay nababagay naman ang magandang mukha at katawan nito kay Luc.
Wala sa loob na binitawan ko ito at hinagilap ang lapis ko't nilaro-laro ng isang kamay ko nang maupo akong muli.
"He's engaged," mahinang wika ko na kung para kanino iyon ay hindi ko na mawari.
Anong bang meron kami? Naitanong ko sa sarili ko.
"Precisely," Wena answered then settled in the visitor's chair infront of me.
Parang may kung anong matulis na bagay ang dumapo sa puso ko at tumarak doon.
It hurts me so much.
"Kayo na ba ni Luc?"
"No, Hindi ko alam," Napatutok ako sa mesa. Ano nga ba kami? "Hindi ko alam Wena."
He never said he loves me. Mapait na realisasyon ko.
I guess his gestures and everything doesn't mean a thing for him.
Perhaps, I was just imagining things. Assuming he's in-love of me too the way...I do.
Hindi ko man ito maamin sa ibang tao ay hindi ko rin pwedeng lokohin ang sarili ko.
Hindi nga ba at ako ang biglang sumulpot sa buhay nila. They might be destined to each other bago pa man ako dumating.
No wonder, Lorin hate me so much na para bang nag-aapoy lagi ang mga mata sa galit kapag nakikita ako.
Maya-may ay tumunog ang cellphone ko. Pangalan ni Luc ang naka-register na caller.
Nabitin sa ere ang isang kamay ko. Hindi ko alam kung tatanggapin ko ang tawag na iyon o hindi, naguguluhan ako at nasasaktan.
Wena sighs. "Whatever it is, you have to know. Kung hindi kayo, mabuti ng malaman mo ng maaga at nang malaman mo rin kung saan ka lulugar sa buhay niya."
She sounds so worried about me, I felt it. At alam ko ring isa ito sa masasaktan kung may manakit sa akin.
I nodded. She's right.
"And so you can move on with your life." She added and looked at me straightly.
I held my breath, speechless.
Akma ko ng hahawakan ang cellphone ko nang biglang pumasok si Luc.
The certain Chief Executive Officer of Vergara Group of Companies Lucas Andrei Vergara.
The handsome and mighty Luc.
But not mine...
I lowered my head down and patted my forehead.
