Chapter 5

Gulped.

I gulped down twice.

"Mayro'n ka bang alam kung kanino galing ang imbitasyong sinasabi ko sa'yo kanina?" nasa tamang lakas na boses na bigkas ko. Honestly, it hourly drains me. It makes me difficult to crunch the name who've sent this kind of first-time-on-my-bucket-list invitation card. Geez. I badly need a hint.

"Wala ho ma'am. Excuse po ako that time and wala po talaga ako ni isang nalalaman." my manager explain through cellphone line. Her statement made me into double contortion. I thought she has the idea about it since she's on my office as what Hera replied lately. Wala rin naman akong aasahan sa CCTV footage dahil nasira ito recently.

Ugh.

I blotted-out a long puzzle-pated gasp.

"But why the door is unlock? I securely inquire. "Huh?"

Kung excuse nga siya na hindi ko man lang nalaman bago pa ako sumalang sa pinal na paglilitis, why did she left it unlocked? Bakit hindi niya naisara ang pinto gayong wala na namang tao dito? Paano kung... may kung anong mangyari while I'm not there?

Special thanks to my early walk towards my office for there might something likely to happen according to my sort of suspicions.

"Uhm, pasensya na ho ma'am. Nalimutan ko po—"

My eyes grew wider a seconds after I began set free my visual to outside peripheral. Nakaramdam ako nang may kung anong pakiramdam nang mamataan ng mga mata ko ang nakasososrpresang isang pamilyar na billboard-size na litrato.

"Manong pakitigil saglit ang van." I requested. It's something I couldn't partially elucidate at first.

He.

Naitigil ng personal na drayber ko ang van na sinasakyan namin pareho. Fortunately, I can still preview it. Medyo natatakpan ang gilid dahil napalayo na masyado. Natahimik bigla ang sarili kong diwa. I quickly recognized it. The gorgeous man wearing a luxurious tuxedo within the space abruptly poked my attention. Seeing him as a whole makes me gulp for a long seconds.

"Ma'am."

"I'll call you later on. Excuse me for this hour. Bye." I finalized before I ended the call.

I stick again my attention to where it be.

Dark.

It's been fourteen years we're both aparted from each other.

He changed a lot. He gained a lot of changes, except his yielding power to deliberately attract and scorch me in just a snap of gaze. Just this seconds passing by, I almost drowned and he  easily captured my heart, indeed.

Pinalipad ko naman ang aking mapanuring tingin sa kanyang mukha.  I couldn't define how perfect he is. Sa mismong labi pa lang, hindi ko matukoy kung anong salita ang uunahin ko para mailarawan ito. Lingid sa namamasdan ko, halatang mas gwapo siya ngayon kumpara noon.

Nakakagaan siya ng loob kahit sa mismong litrato lang. Nakakaramdam ako ng kakomportablehan sa poise ng katawan niya. Ang proporsyonal at balanseng estruktura ng mukha niya ang mas nagpaengayo pa sa akin

Seems something tried hauling me along the old-time. May kasamang pait ang nakaraan na permanenteng tumatatak sa isipan ko ilang taon ang nakararaan simula noong maitapak ko ang aking mga paa sa hacienda.

The most bitter one.

The most painful one.

After all the years that gone through, could he now, if ever we met, accept me as a whole.. just like the past years where there's no any tiny hate blabla between us.
