Obsession Series 4: Sin Anderson

Chapter 1

I AM CURRENTLY drinking a wine while I was in my bedroom, sitting on my bed while holding the invitation card.

You are invited to the Montelust Island's Anniversary. Hope you are coming with us.
                                                  H. M.

"Fuck this. Maybe, I can still refuse it, matagal pa naman eh. Oo dapat ganun ang gagawin ko, I can't stand seeing his goddamn face" I took my phone and opened it. Bumungad sa akin ang picture naming dalawa ni Sin nung college pa kami.

"You can't be serious right now" sabay tapon ko sa phone sa kama ko saka ako tumayo at umupo sa table.

I opened my laptop then opened my email and I saw a lot of messages, from me that I sent to him. Ganun ba talaga ako kabaliw sa kanya?

"You know what, matutulog na ako."

The next morning, late akong pumasok sa work dahil sa late na rin ako nagising. Pagpasok ko ay bumungad sa akin ang mukha ni Anne at Paul.

"What the heck, Cana. Why are you late?"

"You didn't wash your hair don't you?" sunod sunod nilang tanong sa akin, bumuntong hininga naman ako bago nagsalita.

"I was drunk last night okay? Late akong nagising and look.." sabay pakita ko sa kanila ng espresso coffee ko.

"Black coffee, espresso coffee. I didn't bother to eat my breakfast." I explained. Naglakad naman ako tungo sa opisina ko at sumunod lang sila.

"Hinahanap ka kasi ni sir." saad sa akin ni Anne habang umupo ako at nilapag ang coffee ko sa mesa.

"Bakit raw?"

"Isasama ka sa meeting kaya ito dalhin mo to" sabay bigay sa akin ng dalawang folders sa akin ni Paul at hinila nila ako tungo sa meeting room.

"Oo na saglit lang, kaya ko na ito" sagot ko habang binuksan ang pintuan at pumasok. Nakita ko naman ang mga kausap ni sir Malcolm.

"Morning, sorry to interrupt I was just here to give this to my boss" lumapit naman ako kay sir at binigay sa kanya ang folder.

"Actually you're just in time Cana, I would like you all to meet Cana Ventoure my secretary and also the one who's helping me a lot to my work" nagsmile naman ako sa kanila hanggang sa nakita ko si Condrad. Nagulat lang ako.

Wtf, why is he here?

"Morning" bati niya sa akin. So since I'm a nice girl I just smiled at him. After that I sat down while listening to the meeting.

Matapos ang isang oras ay nagsialisan yung mga tao sa meeting room, except me dahil nililigpit ko pa ang mga paperworks at mga folders na nakalatag.

"Need help?" lumingon naman ako sa gilid at nakita ko si Condrad.

"Ah, hindi na kaya ko na ito. Thanks"

"By the way, you're Sin's ex girlfriend right?" I took a deep breath to calm before I smiled and looked at him.

"Yes I am, so any problem with that Mr. Santino?" he smirked.

"Hey, calm down woman. Just wanna ask if may closure kayong dalawa?" I rolled my eyes bago ko ulit pinagpatuloy yung ginagawa ko.

"Well, obviously. No and please, move on na ako ayoko na siyang makwento o marinig ang makasalanan na yun" tumawa naman siya.

"Talagang makasalanan pa ang tawag mo sa kanya?" bumuntong hininga naman ako saka ko ulit siya hinarap.

"Oo, isa siyang cheater at napaka sinungaling about dun sa “mahal kita Cana, ikaw at ikaw lang” ngi ngi. I shouldn't trust him at first right? Like dun pa lang ang tanga ko na sa part na yun. Sa pangalan pa lang niya sobrang makasalanan na pala siya, bagay sila ni satanas magsama" pasinghal kong sagot sa kanya. Inayos ko naman yung mga upuan at nagtatapon ng mga basura.

"I see, you haven't move on. You are still in love with him"

"Isn't obvious–wait, what?"

"Sabi na" bigla ko namang narealize yung sinabi niya, nagreplay pa ito sa utak ko.

"What the. Move on na ako, hindi ko na siya mahal"

"You're saying that because bigla mong narealize ang question ko. Alam mo minsan sa mga ganun 50/50 eh. Posible or imposible na totoo yun. By the way, gotta go. See you tomorrow, Cana" and he left me with a shock face.

He is unbelievable. Kaya minsan naiinis ako sa lalakeng yun eh, but he is right about it. Na hindi pa talaga ako nakakamove on, kaya please kung naririnig mo man ito kasalanan lubayan mo na ako umalis ka na sa isip ko naiistress ako sayo.

"Gusto ko pagpunta ko dun may pa welcome party kayo sa akin"

"I think that's not gonna happen. Ano ka special? Visitor? Eh isa ka rin sa Montelust men pero dahil masyado kang feeling gwapo aayaw ka pa"

"I am handsome alright"

"Good day, finally. Philippines at last" sabay upo ko sa sofa at pinatong ang paa ko sa mini table.

"Potangina naman Sin. That table is not for your feet. And please, take off your shoes" suway ni Reo sa akin.

"Relax, I'll take them off after." maikli kong sagot.

"Andiyan na pala si Sin?" pinaharap naman sa akin yung laptop ni Reo.

"Here he is. Stay muna siya sa condo ko ngayon saka na siya papasolo ng condo kasi alam mo namang medyo maarte yan." I heard Condrad laughing.

"You didn't change" he said.

"Di naman ako magbabago"

"So as your ex girlfriend, Cana" I was surprised as he mentioned a familiar name.

"What? Can you repeat that?" tanong ko.

"I said, so as your ex girlfriend, Cana. Cana Ventoure." inagaw ko naman kay Reo ang laptop saka ako nakafocus dito.

"Is she okay? How is she? Nakausap mo ba siya? Nakita or–"

"Geez, relax man. And yes we actually had a little conversation, yes she's okay but she's mad at you" I smiled while remembering her face.

"Why are you smiling, Anderson? Don't tell me you're fantasizing her? Again?" sumingkit naman ang mata ko at nilingon si Reo.

"No, am not because that is very disrespectful and also pervert"

"Wow, said the man who always said that he's fantasizing his ex girlfriend because he misses her and want her again to his life" rinig kong saad ni Condrad.

"Okay, yes. I admit that alright but that was before when I was in US, ngayong nasa Pilipinas na ako ulit–"

"Naging marespeto ka na?" I nodded my head.

"I don't believe you. I know you, Anderson. We know you. You can be honest with us, akala mo naman wala tayong pinagsamahan" I smirked at Reo.

"Yeah alright."

"Gotta go, I have another meeting. May kailangan akong asikasohing proposal kay Malcolm" Condrad said.

"And who's Malcolm?"

"Cana's boss. And Cana is a secretary of him so yeah I will be expecting them together tomorrow. Kasama ko rin si Hades, not sure about Hades minsan kapag sobrang milyonaryo ay di na kailangang umattend. Unlike me, kaya ito hard work lang tayo" dagdag niya.

"Tomorrow? What time?" napatingin naman ako kay Reo dahil sa reaksyon niya.

"Sin, I know what you are planning if I we're you huwag na" Reo said and I rolled my eyes on him.

"Relax, trust me with this"

"Ugh, this is not good"
