The Billionaire's Chief Secretary (Completed)

Chapter 22: Leave

"Aren't you too selfish to your own decision during that time?" His face remain blankly but his eyes were still red.

"What do you mean?"

Tumingin siya sa labas ng bintana.

Hindi ko mapigilang mainis kasi parang sinasabi niya na sana hindi ko siya iniwan. "Do you expect me to wait for you to wake up during that time and when you woke up, I will tell you that 'I am your fiance and I just received a call that your father died?! Is that it?"

I sighed before clenching my fists.

"What do you think of me? I cannot afford to stay with you not because of your amnesia but because of your father's sudden death that was caused by me! I cannot take much longer how guilty I felt towards your father, to you and your family. I was angry to myself."

Bumalik sa balintataw ko ang nangyari noon dahilan para mapaluha ako. Masakit kasi ako iyong dahilan kung bakit namatay ang ama ng mahal ko nang hindi man lang sila nagkakaayos.

"Before your father's accident, he called me. He asked me again not to accept your proposal again, but I am too stubborn for not listening to him so I accepted your proposal. Kung alam ko lang, sana... Sana hindi ko tinanggap..."

"My dad said that?" He cut me off by asking. I nodded. He shook his head. "He said 'best wishes' before my proposal to you."

"W-hat?—" Umiling ako, hindi ako naniniwala.

He put his hands inside his pocket. "My so called amnesia is relational amnesia so I didn't forget what my dad says seven minutes before my proposal to you. Although I still can't remember you and our other memories..." He face me. "So stop saying that it's your fault because he died on accident."

"Yes." I nodded. "He died because of a car accident but it was totally my fault, can't you understand my point?!"

He clenched his jaw. "No and to tell you this: no one's at fault. My father's sudden death is not your fault, do you understand? Don't blame yourself."

"Fine. I'll try." I nodded before getting my sling bag on the sofa but before I could open the door, he spoke.

"What if I'll remember our past?"

Napakamot ako sa ulo ko saka siya hinarap. "Stop making nonsense here, Mr. Gile. Amnesia's aren't that easy to cure unless you'll join the therapy, but I suggest you won't do that just to remember me. I don't want to see and don't need the pity in your eyes as you stare at me."

Akma kong pipihitin ang doorknob nang hinawakan niya ang kamay ko.

"Ano na naman?!" Inis kong tanong sakanya, ignoring his voltaic touch.

He sighed before removing his hand from mine. I felt disappointed with that. I pursed my lips before looking at him blankly.

"I want to give ourselves a try."

"Oh?" Tumawa ako ng pagak, hindi inaasahan ang sinabi niya pero sa totoo lang gusto ko pero bawal kasi ayaw ko na naman na darating ang araw na kakalimutan niya lang ako. "Mr. Gile, before you could say things, think one hundred times. How could you say that you want to give ourselves a chance when infact you don't feel anything with me."

"Yes. I don't remember you but I like you, since we met inside the airport. No, I don't like you..." Parang may tumusok sa puso ko dahil sa sinabi niya. "Because I am falling. I don't know if you put love-potion on my coffee and tea everytime..."

"I didn't and I will never do that." Bago ako tumalikod ay may naisip pa akong sasabihin sakanya. "Gusto kong linawin ang lahat na ngayo'y nalaman mong ako iyong ex-fiance mo, sana naman ho bigyan niyo ako ng respeto."
