Knot with you

ten knot

I have no choice but to go back to that f*cking conference room.. i sigh before i enter that door again

"Please.. Ethan and Eos, let's accept her offer, .. i mean let's hear for her agrrements first, at kung ayaw niyo man tsaka tayo mag decide" ate Dione.. bumuntong hininga lang ang mga ito at umayos ng upo,..

"Here.. copies of agreement" isa isa ko silang inabutan ng folder na nag lalaman ng mga ninanais ko para sa company..

"First of all , I want to help this company, coz as far as i know.. this airline and shipping company was also mine" i bend on the table to fix my laptop,

"If ever na ituloy niyo pa ang deal na ito, gusto kong baguhin ang pangalan ng airline.."

"What? No.no.no.. hindi ako papayag at para saan?" Angil agad ni Tristan..

"Tristan" saway ni ate Dione..

I breathe out " of course kung makuha ko ang 60% ng stocks.. it was clearly state that this company will be under my name and provition, —"

"Pero—"

"Ako muna okay? " the boys just glare at me.. I smirk at them

"The name will change as E & E international airline company..  i have access abroad , you heard about P. A aviation company? It was mine .. akin ang company na yun, kami ang humahawak ng mga international aircraft.. kaya kung pinag dududahan niyo ang kakayahan ko sa pamamalakad ng isang airline company.. ayan na hindi ako mahihirapan dahil meron akong aviation,"

"Why do you want to change the airlines name huh Ms. Madrigal oh i mean Mrs. Strafford eh kung tutuusin pangalan mo ang pangalan ng company,.." intriga ni Eos

"Those E's have a significant to me.. It will stand S Eros and Eris" alli gulp on what i say.. i smile at her

"Who are they?" Seryosong tanong ni Tristan..

"Non of your business.. it means Life and Strife... life because we handle passengers life and strife coz we have to fight for their lives.."

Namangha si ate Dione sa sinabi ko as well as Eos..

"And one more thing.. importante ito.. wala akong balak alisin kayo sa kung anu man ang pwesto niyo, but of course ako ang magiging C.E.O nito pero hindi rin ako palaging andito, Because I'm going back to the place i live right now.. pupunta lang ako dito maybe once or twice a month to monitor the company..so what do you think?"

"Okay for me.. i agree on her terms.. so kayo guys?" Agad na tanong ni Eos..

"Okay we all agree .. " ngumiti ako sakanila, i paid the stocks, and sign our aggreements..

Palabas na sana sila when i call Tristan..

"Tristan will you please leave for a minute" nag tinginan lang sila Ethan at tumuloy na paalis ng conference

"Anong kaylangan mo?" Cold nitong sabi..

"I just want to know what happened to this company.. bakit bumagsak ito?, "

He became uneasy "wala kalimutan mo na yun.. iyon lang ba kaylangan mo?"

I glare at him and get another folder , iyon ang annulment paper..

"Whats this?" Tanong niya

" just open it" his eyes went wide ng mabasa niya kung anong nilalaman nun.. agad itong napatayo at sinuntok ang pader..

I felt so scared , para akong bumalik sa nakaraan para akong nilalamon ng kaba..

"No! Hindi ako papayag akin ka Azalea.."sigaw nito..

Unti unti akong napapaatras sa takot ko dito, his  eyes  are full of anger ,, his fist turn ito ball.. lahat ng ugat niya ay galit..

"Wag.. wag kang lalapit sakin .. please.. palayain mo na ko" i started to cry hard, agad nag laho ang galit niya,

"Im sorry hindi ko sinasadya, Zea please, wag ganito.. nag babago naman ako eh pero please wag mo na kong iwan" he slowly reach for my hand..

His tears slowly falling down, parang kinurot ang puso ko ng makita kong umiiyak ito, hindi ito ang Tristan na iniwanan ko 7 years ago .. dahil ang Tristan na iyon ay mapang api ,

"Let me go.. Tristan let me go please .. may sarili na kong buhay.."

"Bullshit.. mas lalo akong hindi papayag " binalibag niya lahat ng upuan ng conferense at tuloy tuloy na lumabas , i was left all alone , parang sinasaksak ng milyong aspili ang puso ko.  Mahal ko si Tristan, pero hindi ko pa siya lubusang napapatawad.. and all i can do right now was to hate him to death..

Mabilis lumipas ang araw.. nag pakilala ako bilang bagong C.E.O ng company, ipina-rush ang pag babago ng pangalan ng kumpanya at nag lagay ng mga initials sa mga eroplano.. ipinaayos ko rin ang opisina ko. Kahit hindi ako madalas dito i need to have a private space..

Halos 8pm na ng matapos ang lahat, i open my laptop to have a face time kila Troy..

Ilang minuto pa natawagan ko din si Meg..

"Hi Meg.. kamusta kayo?"

"Ikaw ang kamusta.. look at yourself , you look devastated" napailing nalang ang pinsan ko..

"Im fine, where are my kids?"

Tumayo ito at tinawag ang kambal sa garden.. tuwang tuwa ang mga ito habang tumatakbo..

"Mommy" sigaw nilang dalawa..

"Hi honies.. how was your day? How was school without mom?"

"So sad mom. Were missing you so much.. please go home" Eris start sobbing while Eros cross his arms on his chest

"Im sorry.. ill be home.. wag ng umiyak Eris, i love you both" pinatay ko na yung laptop para naman hindi na sila umiyak ng tuluyan

I lean on my swivel and close my eyes.. Gosh.. pati ang mga bata naaapektuhan na

Knock.... knock..

"Pasok" inuluwa ng pinto ko si Alli

"May kaylangan ka ba best?" Tanong ko dito pag kaupo niya sa couch..

"Akala ko aaminin mo na na may anak kayo"

"I shook my head " of course not.. hanggat kaya kong itago.. itatago ko iyon Alli..akin lang si—"

"Oh God what happened"  napasandal ako agad ng makaramdam ng hilo.. "Phoebe.. dumudugo ang ilong mo" worried na sabi ni Alli

"Wala to"

"Umamin ka sakin.. anong nangyayari huh?" She cup my face "you look so pale.. lets go to the hospital"

"No.. wag.. hindi na kailangan.. im fine" inabot ko yung box ng wet tissues to wipe the blood..

"Phoebe.. you're keeping secrets to me" napatungo ako sa sinabi nito, "best.. just bring me home, hindi ko kaya mag drive"

She sighed " tss .. tigas ng ulo mo.. sige na lets go .. tawag ako ng guard to help us.. ipapabuhat nalang kita" i nodded to her , ayoko na umangal.. hinang hina na ako.. and i can sense na babagsak na ko talaga, my bones hurt like hell..
