Us against the World - TOTGA Book 2

EPILOGUE

HIS POV 

It was a lazy afternoon again and I'm in my office working. These past few years naging successful ang kompanyang itinayo ko. I'm proud of it because I work hard to reach this far. My Dad passed the company he built years ago but I didn't accept it. Yes, I'm the one who's handling the company because my older sister, Zairille doesn't want to accept it. Ang dalawang kapatid ko naman si Aaron and Ava ay bata pa kaya walang magha-handle ng company ni Dad kung hindi ako.

I was in the middle of typing something on my laptop when I heard a knock.

"Come in." galit kong sabi ngunit mahinahon.

Kanina pa kasi masakit ang ulo ko. Ang daming trabaho at hindi pa ko ganun nakatulog kagabi dahil sa trabaho.

"S-Sir." Pumasok ang secretary ko sa loob. She gave me a full sheet again to sign and read!

"Thank you." Sabi ko sa kanya nung tapos na siya sa pga-explain ng kung ano anong hindi ko naman masyadong naintindihan.

Napasandal ako sa swivel chair ko at hinilot ang sentido ko. I'm used to working my ass off since...she left.

Here we go again! It's been fucking 8 years but why does she always lingering in my mind! Hindi ko maintindihan kung paano gumana ang puso't utak ko. Until now both of these organs are still thinking of her!

I tried! Tried so hard to forget her! Kulang na nga lang ibagok ko ang ulo ko sa semento upang magka amnesia ako't makalimutan siya. But then thinking of not remembering her - I felt something heavy in my chest.

But last week...I saw her. She's back now. The one who owns and broke my heart is back here. Seeing her in the club that night was unexpected. She...changed. Kahit ilang araw na ang lumipas simula nung nakita ko siya hindi parin siya mawala sa isipan ko.

All night I just stare at her. Observing her and watching her. Call me creepy pero hindi ko talaga maiwasan ang mata kong tumingin sa kanya. Malaya ko siyang pinagmamasdan nung gabing iyon dahil hindi siya masyadong tumitingin sakin. I know that she knows that I'm there. At pag nagtatagpo ang mga mata namin, may kakaiba akong nararamdaman...I don't know if it's anger or pangungulila sa kanya.

Ngunit parang gali ang naramdaman ko mas lalo na nung nagsayaw siya kasama ang lalaking hindi niya kilala! What is she thinking!? Is she flirting with him!? I wanted to help out when the guy she's flirting with causes a scene that causes everything into chaos!

Shs stopped it and pulled the guy who protected her outside the club and the DJ apologised and continued the party.

Nasa ganun akong sitwasyon nung bumukas ang pinto. Pag-angat ko ng tingin ay napabuntong-hininga nanaman ako.

"Hey, Hon." Bati saakin ni Rhian.

"Hey." Tamad kong tugon.

Naglakad siya palapit sakin at hinalikan ako sa noo. Iniwas ko ang mukha ko ngunit huli na. She then put her hands around my neck.

"Can you come with me to my appointment later?" Malambing niyang tanong.

"Yeah." Tugon ko. I know that she's lying about her conditions. Ang rason...hindi ko alam.

As days go by mas lalo lang dumindi ang pagiisip ko kay Claire. Palagi siyang hindi mawala sa isip ko. Kaya nung ihatid ko siya sa condo niya ay hindi ko na napigilan na halikan siya! Fuck! Hindi ko alam kung bakit ko siya hinalikan. I just fucking feel like I need to kiss her!
