Chapter 47

I woke up at 4 am. Hindi ako matakatulog, hindi pa rin umuuwi si Ace, saan ba nagpunta ang lalaking 'yun? Di nya man lang naisip na may nag-aantay at nag-aalala sa kanya.

Kailangan sya ngayon sa kompanya. Stacy texted me a while ago na gusto raw syang makausap ng board about sa publishing house. They're planning to pull their investment dahil sa nangyaring gulo. Though I understand them, pero sana'y intindihin naman nila si Ace.

It was his mom and aunt who do such stupid things.

Marahas akong bumuga ng hangin, lumapit ako sa bintana at hinawi ang kurtina, dumampi ang malamig na hangin sa balat ko.

I'm about to leave the room when my phone rang. Nilapitan ko iyon, kinuha at sinagot.

"Hello?"

"Good morning, Sam. Sorry to call you early the morning"

Rinig ko ang putokan ng baril sa kabilang linya. Some fighting noices.

"Okay lang ate, what make you call?" Tanong ko at naupo sa gilid ng kama.

"Well about what you want, na magkaroon ng pagtitipon. We all agreed. Tomorrow at the underground. Pumayag na din si Damon na magkaroon ng bagong queen, though hindi sya makakapunta"

May naisip na kong papalit sa kin. I know she can be a good leader.

"Bakit hindi pupunta si Damon?"

"He's been investigating something this past few days. Ayaw maman nyang sabihin kung sino o ano ang ini-imbistigahan nya. But don't worry, masaya sya para sayo"

Sana nga masaya sya. Malaking parte ng nakaraan ko si Damon. At ayaw kong mawala sya ulit. I love him, but now as a bestfriend.

I hang the call and went out the room. Dumaan ako sa room ni Peyton para tingnan ito, he's slepping peacefully. Sinarado ko ang pinto at bumaba.

"Ma'am tumawag ho rito si Ma'am Aliyah nasa mansion ho si sir Ace" bungad sa akin ng katulong.

Ang aga nilang gumising.

"Uhm Aliyah po?"

"Kapatid ho ni sir Ace"

Tumango ako. Umalis ito bitbit ang pamunas.

Nakahinga ako ng maluwag, dahil nasa mansion lang pala nila si Ace. Pero bakit hawak ng babaeng yon ang cellphone nya?

Arghhh curiosity killing me. Now I know why Alice always worried paghindi nakakauwi si Draven. Madaming pumapasok sa isip ko. And all of those are so damn bad. Puno ng pagdududa ang isip ko.

Pero hindi naman kasi 'yon maiiwasan. Even you don't have relationship you'll always get worried in the time like this. Like duhh? What if may kasama nga syang iba? What if hes cheating?

Cheating? Maybe he can, he's single anyway. That can't be call cheating. Label muna!

I let out a deep sigh before I enter the kitchen. I'm planning to have a morning walk, maybe jogging. Matagal na simula ng mag-jogging o mag-excercise ako. Pag hindi pa dumating si Ace before work time, I don't have any choice but to face those investors. I know I'm not in the position to hold a event like this. Pero siguradong malulugi ang publishing house, na hindi pa nagsisimula.

Nagtimpla ako ng gatas. I was sitting on the island  counter when the maid get in while holding the telephone.

"Ma'am tumawag po si Ma'am Alana, tumawag po sya kanina para kausapin si sir Ace tungkol sa kalagayan ni sir Lorenzo"

I smiles and took the phone. Nanginginig ang kamay ko. We once talk noong kinidnap kuno nila si Peyton. You know the feeling? Like first meeting your mans family. Nervous!

"H-hello?"

"Hello, please held kuya Ace the phone, I have something to tell him" may pagkataray na sagot nito.

"Uhm wala si Ace rito?"

"WHO ARE YOU?!"

Napaigtad ako sa sigaw nito. This woman, magkakanerbyos ako dahil sa kanya.

"T-this is S-samantha"

"Oh-oh I'm sorry to shout you ate Samantha. I didn't mean it. Medyo mainit lang ang ulo ko. By the way where's kuya Ace?"

"Hindi pa sya umuuwi. Aliyah called na nasa mansion nyo daw si Ace"

"Arghhh that guy. Okay If thats the case, i'll call him later. Pasabi nalang pala na tumawag ako. By the way welcome to the family. Hope to see you again. Lets go bonding when we got home....."

Nawala ang kaba ko. I alwayse expect them to don't like me. Mayaman sila while I'm not. Maybe my family.

Okay lang naman na hindi nila ako matanggap basta tanggap nila ang anak ko. But after all masaya akong tanggap nila ako at pati si Peyton.

"By the way we end this. Can we do video call sometimes? Dad whats to see you two."

Arghh nervouse again! Theire father? Really Mr. Lorenzo Sanford? Hoooo! Inhale! Exhale!

"Uhm o-okay"

"Okay bye. See yah"

Paulit-ulit kong kinalma ang sarili ko. Napahawak ako sa gilid ng silya para doon kumuha ng lakas upang hindi tuloyang matumba dahil sa kaba. I remember when Kiel introduce me to his family. Will at first ayaw sakin ng family nya, pero afterwards we got along and have some bondings, getting to know.

And the reason why they don't want me for Kiel is because, I'm poor. Will hindi ko sinabing anak ako ng governor. No point either. Will past is past.

Binalik ko sa lagayan ang telepono. Nagpalit ako ng sports bra at jogging pants. I put my earphone on. I played my favorite song. Nagpaalam ako sa katulong bago lumabas ng mansion.

The breeze of the morning. I started walking until I went out the gate. Madaming dumadaang nagjo-jogging din. Halos magka-kasintahan. Mga bata nga naman.

Nagumpisa akong jogging. Malayo na rin ang napuntahan ko. Until I stop infront the park. Kahit maaga palang ay madami ng tao. And since its morning may mga mangtataho. Imbis na taho ang bilhin ay ice cream ang napili ko.

"One cokies and cream po"

Agad ako nitong binigyan. Nagbayad ako at umalis na. Naupo ako sa bench. While eating my ice cream, I'm looking around. Everyone has company but that can't change the fact that everyone here is holding their gadgets. Bakit pa sila na masyal kung magse-cellphone lang din naman sila.

My phone rang. Nang tingnan ko ay text iyon mula kay Stacy saying:

Sam, the board what to talk with Ace at 7:30 am

Arghh those investors and board. Tinapos kong kainin ang ice cream at naglakad pabalik sa mansion ni Ace.

I'm about to enter the gate when I saw Ace.... hugging a girl.
