Unwanted

Chapter 42

Andy

Inaayos ko ang mga designs na naappproved ng client namin nang biglang bumukas ang pintuan ng opisina ko at pumasok si Gabby

"Tapos ka na?" she sat on the visitor chair in front of me

Tumango ako

"Yeah, sorted na yung mga naapproved, here take this" inabot ko sa kanya ang folder

"I'll give this to Hershey later"

My phone suddenly rang. I took my phone and saw that it was Axel

I answered his call and put my phone closed to my ear

"Are you done?"

I glanced at my wrist watch. Malapit na mag uwian sila Coreen

"Kakatapos lang"

"I'm on my way"

"Yeah, ingat sa pagmamaneho"

I heard him chuckled

"For you I will Mrs. Greene"

Hindi ko maiwasan ang hindi mangiti. Napailing ako

I said my goodbye and ended the call

"Si Axel?" naagaw ang atensyon ko ni Gabby. Nakataas ang kilay nito

"Oo, papunta na sya" tumango ito

"Parang nung nakaraan lang halos isumpa mo yan si Axel ngayon may pangiti ngiti ka na at mukhang kinikilig ka pa kapag nandyan sya"

Natawa at napailing na lang ako sa sinabi nya

"I know weeks ago ay nagpaalam syang manligaw sayo and even you declined him at first he's still pursuing you. Sa tingin ko ay totoong nagsisisi talaga sya sa nagawa nya sayo at baka nga mahal ka talaga nya but the question is...may pag asa ba sya?" may ngisi sa mga labi ni Gabby

Huminga ako ng malalim

"I'm still scared"

"Scared to be hurt again? Scared to fall apart?"

Tumango ako

She sighed

"Alam mo Andy, okay lang naman kung makaramdam ka ng takot. Nasaktan ka noon at ngayon ay natatakot kang maranasan ulit yun pero hindi ba mas nakakatakot kung hindi ka magririsk? What if it will be better this time? What if he's the only person who can fix and makes your heart happy? There will be a lot of what ifs if you wouldn't try Andy"

She held my hand

"Pwede kang masaktan pero pwede ka rin maging masaya. Walang kasiguraduhan. Push him away or risk Andy but whatever your decision is, it will not only affect you and Axel, Coreen will be affected too"

She's right, this is not just all about me and Axel, we have Coreen, our daughter

"Why don't you give him a chance? Alam ko gago si Axel pero lahat naman ng tao ay may kakayahang magbago kung gugustuhin nila at isa pa nakikita ko naman na sobrang nagsisisi sya sa nagawa nya sayo. Well, mabait ka naman and since talent mo ang mabilis na magpatawad, bakit hindi mo na rin buksan ang puso mo para sa kanya? Lubusin mo na"

She chuckled, natawa na rin ako sa sinabi nya

"What a great piece of advice. May mga tao talagang magaling magbigay ng payo pero di nila maapply sa sarili nila" natawa ako nang makitang sumimangot ito

"Why don't you give Wilson a chance too? You'd never know what will happen if you wouldn't risk"

She grimaced
