Kabanata 12 | The Problems
Days turned into weeks,and weeks turned into months. Four months have past to be exact.
Renuah stayed at my side as my bodyguard and also the most loyal, caring and supportive lover.
Everytime we have a misunderstanding, its him who always catch up and say sorry even tho I know it's also my fault.
He became the person I can't live without,so I'm choosing to keep him...But I don't know until when,but I promised myself to live the most of it with him.
"It's already late, hindi ka pa natutulog... Leave it muna, tomorrow you can do that,babe."Malambing nyang sabi ng naabutan nya akong nasa harap parin ng study table ko at nakaharap sa loptop ko.
It's already twelve midnight and I'm still reading and analyzing the reports of the company thoroughly.
I don't know,I felt something is strange... Hindi ko alam kung sa financial or sa mga branches ng malls,at hotels ng ZGC...I can't pinpoint it.
"I'm not yet sleepy...But you can rest now, I'll just take a look with this."Tukoy ko sa mga papel at soft copy ng reports.
He went near me and kissed my forehead.
"Is there any problem?"He asked.
"I don't know...I feel something is wrong pero I've been looking at it for a several times pero wala naman."I told him.
He also look at my loptop at sinuri ang bawat detalye noon,saka nya ako niyakap mula likuran.
"Take a rest first...You will eventually pinpoint what is wrong when you have enough rest...Sige na babe, don't pressure yourself too much."Sabi nya,and I don't have any choice.
Tumayo ako at nagtungo sa kama ko,and cover myself in half using my comforter.
He switched off the study lamp ko,and went near me.
"Sleep tight,babe... Good night."Aniya saka nya ako dinampian ng halik sa labi.
For the past months, it's always his routine. He will come in my room and check on me then he will give my goodnight kiss... Sometimes I let him sleep with me and we will cuddle,but I guess tonight will be one of the nights that I can't cuddle with him.
"Good night,Renuah."I said before he switched off the lights and let my bedside lamp to be the only light illuminating my room.
"I gotta go."That's the last words I heard before I fell off to sleep.
Peaceful...was the word that can describe my fast four months being a CEO and a girlfriend to Renuah.
I wanted to live my life that way,but I guess I can't.
"So?...Sumabog ang ZMall sa Batangas last week!And I guess you are not doing anything about it!"Mrs.Alipa shouted at me.
We are having a board meeting everyday for the past days, since the branch of ZMall in Batangas exploded...And up until now,the investigation can't figure it out how that explosion happened.
Hindi ako nagbaba ng tingin katulad ng palagi kung ginagawa.
"She did what she can do, Martha!"Mrs.Evangelista defended me.
"By how,Aniza?!...By giving financial support to those employees and civilians who got affected?!...Paano naman ang sales at income ng ZGC?!"Mrs.Alcantara interfered.
I didn't talk and I just contemplate in my mind the words I needed to say.
"We have to settle those matter first...And I know that what Miss. Zamora did is a JUST!"Sansala naman ni Mr.Buenafe.
