CHAPTER 9

AUTHOR POV

Sa loob ng dalawang linggo, naging mas malamig pa ang pakikitungo ni Iron sa iba, palaging galit, at nakakaligtaan nang alagaan ang sarili.

He just miss Xzarimianah.

Labis talaga siyang nagsisi sa maling desisyon na napili niya, if only money can bring back the time, malamang marami na siyang natamang mali sa nakaraan niya. But it doesn't.

Every night and day, he spend his time on his Company. Palaging trabaho ang inaatupag. Buti at mabait iyong sekretaryo niya, dahil agahan, tanghalian, at hapunan niya dinadala sa kaniya. Kung walang malasakit ang secretary niya sa kaniya, malamang patay na siya dahil sa gutom. He was like an Elephant who left by its lover.

[Kapag namatay ang partner ng elepante, hihilata sila at iiyak, hindi sila kumakain hanggang mamatay dila sa gutom.]

At kahit hindi niya inaalagaan ang sarili niya, marami pa ring nahuhumaling sa kaniya. Hindi naman masyadong mahaba ang buhok niya sa mukha kaya hindi nito nababawasan ang Charisma niya.

While reading and signing some office papers, biglang nag ring ang cellphone niya. As he looks at the caller's I.D, ang P.I. niya ang tumawag. Napabuntong hininga siya saka sinagot ang tawag nito.

"Do you got any information about my girl?" He ask using his cold tone.

"Yes sir, I got all the informations you need. Where and what time will we meet up?" He said formally at his boss. Hindi na nagulat ang P.I. sa inasal ng lalaking nag-hire sa kaniya. Sanay na siya sa mga ganon.

"At my Restaurant near at the Gaisano Mall, 12'0 clock sharp." Wala na siyang ibang sinabi saka ibinaba ang tawag. Unti-unting namuo ang mga ngiti sa labi niya, he have'nt smile since he shot Charlotte at Davao. He broke his promise to Mianah that he will never give his smile to anyone. It's 10:45 in the morning so he still have time to prepare himself.

Umuwi siya sa bahay niya upang mag-ayos, he doesn't bother to put his body cleaning materials in his office, either a bed. He knows how to discipline himself. His Company is his working place, not a room to sleep.

He drive his car very fast papunta sa bahay niya. He doesn't give a shit what others will say. Kahit traffic, hindi pa rin niya binabagalan ang takbo ng kotse, he even hear the car's honking. Pero as what I said earlier, he doesn't care, masagasaan man siya o wala.

He reach his house without a single scratch, hindi naman malaking achievement sa kaniya ang makarating sa bahay na full-speed ang pag da-drive. He was crowned and known as the "Racing King" since he was 14, so normal lang iyong pagmamaneho ng 200 km/h sa kaniya.

Pumasok na siya sa loob at tinungo ang banyo ng kuwarto. He can't understand why would he clean himself, he was just meeting his P.I. so why did he bother?

"Matutuwa ba si Xzarimianah kung malalaman niyang pinapabayaan mo ang sarili mo?"

Napatawa na lang ng mahina si Iron sa kaniyang sarili dahil ngayon lang niya naisip iyon.

For sure, mag-aalala at magagalit sa kaniya si Mianah dahil sa hindi pag-alaga sa sarili nito. A smile in his lips is slowly fading away when he remember what he did. Ang sayang nararamdaman niya kanina ay napalitan ng kaba.

"What if kung hindi niya ako mapapatawad? What if kung may iba na siya? What if kung kinumumuhian niya ako dahil sa aking nagawa? What if she will reject me how I reject her before? What if kung nagkaroon siya ng Amnesia at angkinin ng iba?"

Iyan ang mga namumuong konklusyon sa isip ni Iron. Iniisip pa lang niya iyon ay nagagalit, naiinis, at nalulungkot na siya. But he knew himself as the Man who has a positive thinking.
