YES! I'M MR. SIMON // BOOK 2 (COMPLETED)

PART 9. BUSINESS PARTNER

SIMON POV:

"Mon dore, mon dore!" Rinig kong sigaw sa labas ng aking bahay.

I know it's Vinny again. My brother called me that's stupid and funny name.

I'm here sa loob ng aking kwarto nakatalukbong at tinatabunan ang aking mga tenga dahil sa ingay na hatid ni Vinny.

"Mon dore! My brother," he called me again na papalapit na naman sa akin.

"Heshhh, Vinny will you please stop calling me that name?!" I shout.

"Mon dore! I have news for you. I don't know if it's good or bad to your ears," he utterred.

"Vinny inaantok pa ako, please lang!" I begged him.

"I saw Zhiel, your girlfriend," he utterred na nakakapaggulantang sa akin.

"What?" I utterred na nakapagpapaupo sa akin sa kama ko.

"I just saw Zhiel, kahapon!" He uttered while crossing his arms.

Nagulat kasi ako dahil may naririnig akong balita galing sa bestfriend ko na buhay daw din si Zhiel.

"Pero kung buhay siya, bakit she didn't approached me?" Sabi ko sa aking sarili.

I just shooked my head.

"Hay, Vinny here we go again. Minumulto ka na nga nga girlfriend ko.

"She is going to be my business partner, you will see her hindi muna ngayon but soon fo sure," Vinny utterred again.

"I tell you Simon, she really looks like your deceased gf. Your bestfriend's sister is your deceased gf," he utterred again.

"Vinny, are you sure you're okay?" I utterred while laughing.

"I have here my phone, you can see her pictures," he utterred habang kinapkap ang kanyang bulsa.

"Ohw, I forgot my phone," he utterred again.

"Haishh, Vinny. Di ko alam kung anong gagawin ko ngayon dahil sa mga sinasabi mo. Dahan-dahan ko nang tinanggap na wala na siya but here you are keep bringing her again," I utterred habang preneprepare ang aking gamit pangligo.

"I'm sorry," he apologized.

"Nah, nevermind. How's your business?" I asked.

"I'm getting new designs and partners. And thanks to you dahil nagustuhan ko ang mga design ng kapatid ng bestfriend mo," he utterred.

"I will show some of it dahil papipiliin kita sa mga design niya. Bilisan mo munang maligo," he utterred while frowning and moving the table.

I shooked my head again and pumunta sa shower room.

"My dear, I'm sorry if dahan-dahan na kitang kinalimutan. I just don't want to be hurt. I'm really sorry," napahagulgol kong saad.

"If it's real na buhay ka then bakit di mo ako kinausap? I mean bakit di mo man lang ako binigyan ng chance na makapagpapaliwanag? Pero hindi, I'm present sa burial mo malabong buhay kapa," I still utterred.

"Our memories will be forever in my mind but your face, I want to let go. I want to break what I promised to make an ease. Call me selfish but Zhiel, I'm fuckingly obsessed with you and I want to forget you," I sighed while continuing taking a bath.

Pagkatapos kong maligo, lumabas ako ng shower room. I saw Vinny na tinitingnan ang mga desinyo ng kanyang business partner ata.

"Glad your done. By the way, pupunta ka sa INN?" Vinny asked.

"Later after ko pumunta sa cementery," I answered.

"Okay, now here's the design. Please choose what's best," sabi niya habang ibinalik sa first page ang mga desinyo na nasa album.

Habang pinapatuyo ko ang aking buhok sa tuwalya, I slowly looked the the design.

"It's good," sabi ko habang pinapakli ang album.

"This one is good too," I utterred.

"All designs are mostly good," sabi ko habang tiningnan si Vinny.

I saw him na napataas ang kilay na nagpapakita na he agreed to what I said.

Sa katagalan, nakita ko ang isang desinyo na kagayang-kagaya ng gawa ng aking girlfriend noon.

I remember one time, Zhiel showed me her favorite house design. Kaya tinatago ko ito kasama sa mga importanteng dokumento ko.

"Wait Vinny, wag mo yang galawin. May titingnan ako," sabi ko at dali-dali kong kinuha ang desinyong gawa ni Zhiel.

Kinakabahan ako sa mga nangyayari ngayon. It's weird.

"Nasaan ba yon," sabi ko habang hinalaykay ang mga dokumento.

"Mon do re, okay kapa diyan? Ang tagal mo?" He utterred.

"Wait, just wanna get something," I responded.

"Okay, please faster," he replied.

"Goodness where the fuck is that? The design caught my eyes, maypagkasimilar ito sa gawa ni Zhiel," I utterred.

Hinalungkat ko lahat ng dokumento sa cabinet ko and finally, I saw it.

"Yes, here you are!" Sabi ko at bumalik sa pwesto ni Vinny.

Mabilis kong tiningnan ang design na pinapakita sa akin ni Vinny and yeah kuhang-kuha ang design. Each line are perfectly similar.

"Vinny, ang desinyo ay sobrang pareho," I uttered while looking at her.

I saw Vinny na namangha sa mga design na nakikita. Tinitingnan niya ang pagkakapareha ng desinyo.

"Tama, same lang. What makes it different is their signatures, because the other one is Zhiel Ngag and the other is Xerinity Barre," Vinny shockingly implied.

"Yeah," habang kinuha ko sa kanya ang desinyo.

Bigla akong kinilabutan, naeexcite, at halo-halo ang aking nararamdaman. Hindi dahil sa umasa na naman ako ulit na buhay pa ang gf ko kung di nababaliw lang talaga ang aking pag-iisip na baka nareincarnate ang gf ko.

"But, Simon look, their penmanship is the same," he uttered.

I look back to their design and napatanong ako kay Vinny.

"Who is Xerinity?" I asked.

"The daughter of Mr. Victor Barre!"

Napaisip ako sa kanyang sinabi.

"My architectural business partner," He added.

"BUSINESS PARTNER?" I pardoned.

"Yeah," Vinny responded.

"I wanna meet her Vinny. Please set an appointment. I'm curious who she is," I utterred habang titingnan si Vinny.

"Sure, you'll be surprised if you see her," he utterred.

I need to investigate about it. Many rumored has come out na buhay si Zhiel.

"Uhm, Mon dore, I have to go," nagpapaalam na sa akin si Vinny.

Nagbibihis na ako ng damit dahil pupunta ako ng cementery to visit Zhiel. Nagdadala nalang din ako ng suit para didiretso nalang sa company ko after ko bisitahin si Zhiel sa puntod niya.
