Shanea

I'm frustrated right now! Argh! Bakit ba kasi hindi pa siya nagpaparamdam? Ni text o tawag man lang hindi ginawa. Wala naman kaming problema ah?

"Alexa" I shouted in my secretary.

"Ma'am?" Nagmamadaling sabi niya.

"Schedule?" I said. Bahala na nga siya sa buhay niya.

"You have a meeting with the Engineer's later, 2pm." Sabi niya sakin. Napahilot ako sa sentido ng may naka schedule pala akong meeting mamaya sa mga engineer's. I hope wala siya mamaya dun at baka mabato ko lang sa kaniya kung anong mahawakan ko. Hindi man lang siya nagparamdam sakin simula kagabi.

Nag sent ako ng email sa board of directors para sa project namin. Ginugol ko nalang ang oras ko dun at hindi na muna iniisip ang lintek na James na yun! Tsk.

"Ma'am lunch." Tanong ng secretary ko. She already know my meal.

I eat my lunch, I started at my watch. It's already 1pm, I need to eat my lunch already to prepare for the meeting. Pagkatapos kung kumain ay nagre-retouch lang ako ng konti at tumayo na ako. Umakyat na ako sa conference room with my secretary beside me. As I stepped on the conferrence room, everyone is silent. Simula ng nakalabas ako sa hospital ngayon palang ang unang meeting ko with the engineer's na gumagawa ng hotel namin.

I didn't see James here, where the hell is he? He's the head engineer here. Fuck! He making ne crazy.

"Where is your head engineer?" I strictly asked.

"He just told me to present to y-you Ma'am" Engineer Pascua said. I sighed.

"Start!" Sabi ko. Pero hindi ako makapag focus sa mga sinasabi niya. Ang daming pumapasok sa isipan ko na baka? No way!

"Okay ba ang budget sayo, Ma'am?" Tanong ni Engineer Pascua sakin. I just get back to my senses when he asked me.

"Y-Yeah, t-that's fine.." I said. He just nod, nagdistribute na si Alexa ng snacks at fruits lang ang nilapag sakin.

"Take a break! Everyone. Pleass eat your snacks." Sabi ko at para silang iniwan ng teacher saglit dahil kaniya-kaniya ng pag-uusap.

Pagkatapos naming kumain ng snacks namin ay nagpatuloy na kami sa pagdiscuss ng ilang kailngan gawin sa hotel at ang mga materyals nakailngan gamitin.

"Kaya po malaki ang budget natin sa mga materials para po hindi madaling magiba yung hotel.. and Engineer Lopez took care of that. Ma'am." Sabi ni Engineer Pascua, I just nod. I played with my ballpen the whole presentation.

"That's all, the meeting adjourned." I said and get my things before leaving the conference room.

"Alexa, in the office." I said and went to my office directly. Sumunod naman si Alexa sakin. Is there any schedule?"

"Bukas pa po, ang next meeting niyo ma'am" sabi ni Alexa habang tinignan ang notebook niya. Kung saan niya nilalagay ang mga meeting ko.

"What time?" I said while scrolling in my instragram. I don't have works to do anymore, baka nga maaga akong umuwi ngayon.

"3pm with the investors at Cucina Hilaga, and 5pm with Mr. Hellion at the Ultra Winds." What the fuck?! Ultra Winds? Ang layo naman. But it's fine though.

"You can leave.." Sabi ko. She just nod and go out to my office. I take picture of myself and posted in my instragram stories with a caption of I'm bored, someone can have dinner with me? Hell! I don't care if James sees this. He didn't text me yet.

"OMG! Shanea!" I automatically gaze with Ella who's shouting.

"What? Why are you shouting?" I said a little bit irritated. Is it important to shout when you get in? Gosh!

"Come, you don't have work right?"

"Wala naman, why?" Kumunot ang noo ko. I see happiness with her smile. Oh? Okay. What's with her smile? She looks happy. Well

"Basta, come here" she drags me out of my table. Kinuha ko muna ang bag ko at tsaka nag pahila sa babaeng to? I just wear a black body con dress. And I don't knoe where she will drag me.

"Where are we going ba?" Nagiging conyo na tuloy ako. Ano ba yan! Bigla-bigla nalang susulpot sa opisina ko at bigla akong hahatakin.

"You'll see.." she giggled. I heavily sighed.

I opened the shoutgun seat and she opened the driver seat. We just used her black mustang, tsk. I just didn't mind where the hell we where going. It's getting dark already. I checked my wrist watch and it's already 7pm.

We arrived in a beach, wait what? A beach?! Ano? Maliligo kami dito ? Oh my god. I didn't bring extra shirt, I didn't know that we're going in a beach. And I don't want to swim this late either. Baka may shokoy dyan oy! Wag nalang.

"What are we doing here? I don't want to swim this late." I said to her. She just giggled. Lumabas na kaming dalawa sa sasakyan niya. And Ella was still smiling that nothing happens, is there something wrong?

"Hey!" Sigaw ko sa kaniya, di kasi sinagot ang tanong ko.tsk.

"Just always remember that, I'm happy for you shanea." He just smile at me, a tear was almost pool in her eyes but she just chuckled and look at the sky. There so many stars in the sky, even though I'm confused. I'm staring at the sky smiling. Nabalik lang ang atensyon ko ng hawakan ako ni Ella sa braso.

"What's wrong Ella? I sthere something wrong? I'm starting to get worried." I said. We're heading to the entrance of the beach.

"Nah! Nothing, I was just happy for you." Hindi ko nalang siya pinansin at nagpahila nalang ako sa kaniya. There ate no people in here, masyadong tahimik. As we walking my eyes seattled on the right side of the beach, I saw my family and my friends simce highschool with there wives and their girlfriends. I even saw my niece, Adrielle was standing beside his father, while Ate fatima carrying Nathalia with her arms. I smiled at the scene, they were smiling at me.

My tears slowly pool down in my eyes, as I look at the man who's standing with a candle around him it was a form a heart. I smiled, he looks handsome with his jeans and polo shirt with his penny loafer shoes. I didn't know that I'm infront of him, he smiled to me. I almost forgot that he didn't text or even call me!

Hinampas ko siya sa dibdib niya. "Bakit hindi ka nagpaparamdam, huh?" Sabi ko habang hinahampas ko parin siya. My tears is still falling in my eyes.

"Hey, I'm sorry love" he said and kiss my forehead. I closed my eyes and feel his embrace.

I know that we've been through a lot, hindi naging madali pero alam kung may dahilan ang lahat. I thought that he cheated me again but I was wrong, I made myself hated him.

"Bakit hindi ka man lang tumawag o mag text sakin. Alam mo bang para akong baliw kakaisip sayo, ang daming kung iniisip na baka?" I said while sobbing.

"I'm sorry okay? I was just busy preparing this." Sabi niya habang tinuro ang isang table na may candle sa gitna at may boquet of flower sa lamesa. May dalawa ring chair na magkaharap. Napalibotan rin kami ng maliit na candles. It was form of a heart shape.

He held my hand and guide me in the table. I also see my family and his family who's talking in the other side, they're happy talking each other. There was a long table with a foods.
