Rewind.....
Get her off your mind, Gerard, get her off your mind!
"Tita Nancy," he buzzed his secretary. "Bring me the personnel file of Samantha Gutierrez."
"Akala ko ba hindi ka interesado nung isang araw? Eh bakit ngayon..."
"Just get me her file, will you?" and he cut the line.
Bakit nga ba hindi mawala sa utak niya ang dalaga?
Pinilit lang niya ang sariling magpaalam nung isang gabi. Ang totoo, wala naman siyang pinuntahan pa pagkatapos. Sa kaayawan niyang may mahalata pang iba si Colin sa kanila, siya na ang unang umiwas. Umuwi na lang siya nang bahay at doon nagpakalunod sa pag-inom mag-isa. Pero hindi siya nakuntento. Umalis siyang muli at nagpunta sa bar. Doon, itinuloy niya ang pag-inom and as expected, together with his drinking were women flocking around him.
He woke up next morning with a very bad headache and with an unknown woman sleeping beside him.
And he's been like that for the next two days, trying to erase her beautiful eyes from his memory. Every time her face popped up, he would drown himself with work, drinks and women.
Pero siya rin naman ang sumuko sa bandang huli dahil siya rin ang nahihirapan. He decided, then, that the only way to get her off his mind is to taste her. Have his fill on her and that's it. For sure his interest will fade away after that.
But Gerard, off limits siya, remember?
Edward, your best friend, remember?
Ayaw mong maulit ulit ang nangyari noon, remember?
He has to get her off his mind! He pounded his head hard with that thought.
"Anong nangyayari sa 'yo at pinupukpok mo yang ulo mo?"
"Wala, may iniisip lang ako."
"Bakit? Kapag pinukpok mo ba yung ulo mo, lalabas dyan sa utak mo ang iniisip mo? Here's the file you're asking."
"Don't start again, tita please?"
"Well, hindi ako titigil hanggang hindi ka tumitigi sa ginagawa mo."
"And what am I doing?"
"Killing yourself."
"Don't worry, I'm stopping."
"Why?"
"Anong why? Pinatitigil mo ako sa ginagawa ko at pag sumunod ako sa gusto mo, tatanungin mo ako kung bakit? Why?"
"Anong why?"
"Why are you asking me why?"
"Wag mo nga sa akin ibaling ang interrogation, bata ka! Ako ang ang unang nagtanong, ako ang sagutin mo."
"Nana..."
"Nope...di mo ako madadaan sa ganyan..."
"Nana..."
"Don't use that tone on me Adam!"
"Nana..."
"Fine! I'll leave you this time. But you better put your acts back together, young man! I'm no longer proud of your philandering acts."
"Thanks, Nana...."
Nilayasan siya nito nang maibaba sa mesa niya ang file ni Samantha Gutierrez.
At the last minute, he changed his mind.
No, he won't read her profile.
Okay na yung wala siyang alam about her like his other women. He won't know of her background or anything about her. He'll just have her in his bed until he's satisfied and that's it. For sure it won't last long as he can easily find a new candy like he used to.
