I.L.Y.S.B (COMPLETED)

#18

--Noah--

NAPADILAT siya ng maulingan ang isang boses na kumakanta. Noon una akala niya na nanaginip siya, pero hindi..may narinig talaga siyang pamilyar na boses.
He quickly got up from the jacuzzi, took the bathrobe and went out of the bathroom.

Noah was surprised to see a familiar woman wearing a chambermaid dress.

"April, is that you?" he asked, frowning.

The woman shaked her head and looked away.

Napatingin siya sa nameplate nito.
'April'

Lumapit siya sa babae, gusto niyang matitigan ito ng mas malapit.
"No?--but your nameplate said so."
he said while glaring at her.

April really look so different. She became so skinny, her face look pale and haggard. No more shiny long hair, no more tantalizing eyes..she look worn out..what the heck happened to her?

"--what happened to you? You look--different."
hindi niya napigilan magtanong. Pero hindi rin niya pinahalatang nakaramdam sya ng pag-aalala para sa dating kasintahan.
Hindi ito ang inaasahan niyang makita.

April look at him with straight-face.
"Tapos na po ako maglinis, sir. Aalis na po ako"
she sound so impassive. Hinila nito ang trolley palabas ng room nya.

No! She can't let her away!
He swiftly drag her arm to stop.
"You're not going anywhere--you owe me an explanation, bitch!"

Oh shit! Why in the world I put that 'B' word? Holy crap!

Malakas na tinabig ni April ang kamay niya. She looked mad..and so do I.
She deserves that 'B' word anyway. Ito ang nagloko, to the fact na nalaman pa niyang tumanggap ito ng pera sa Ina niya. What a shame woman!

"With all due respect, sir. Aalis na po ako, dahil tapos na ang trabaho ko."
wika ni April at nagmadaling umalis kasama ang trolley hila nito.

Why she's incensed? Diba dapat siya ang dapat magalit? She broke my heart, damn! Bakit siya ang umaarteng galit? or maybe she's just pretending to be mad to whitewash her guilt.
He chuckled. What a cheater.

Pabalibag niyang sinarado ang pinto.
Mas lalong nasira ang mood niya na magpahinga.
Pabagsak siyang naupo sa mahabang upuan. Nakatingala sa kisame.

Hindi niya maiwasan isipin ang naging pagbabago kay April. Bakit ito nagta-trabaho as a chambermaid dito sa hotel? Nasaan ang perang hiningi nito sa kanyang Ina? Its five million.

Fuck! Why Noah, are you concern?

Kung naubos man ng babaeng iyon ang limang million, hindi na niya problema kung naghirap ito. Maybe that's her karma, so stop thingking about her?!

He deeply sigh.
Baliw na talaga siya dahil hindi niya maalis si April sa isip nya, she's still look beautiful in his eyes. Screw you Noah!

Pasadlak na humiga siya sa sofa at pinikit ang mga mata. Bukas na niya kakausapin ang Hiring Manager ng Walsh Hotel.

I don't know what are you up to, April but it'll be better to kick you out of my sight.

Hindi siya na magpapalokong muli.
Pagod na pagod na siya.

KINABUKASAN maaga niya kinausap ang Hiring Manager ng Walsh Hotel, hiningi niya lahat ng background information ni April.

Napailing siya.

This is bullshit! He wanted to know if she's married or what! His curiosity making him so insane right now. He has to know, that's all.
