CILY 03 -The Past
*Katrhianna Maurty Gilbert*
"Ako ba ang pinag uusapan nyo?"
Napatigil ako at nanigas sa aking kinauupuan ng marinig ko ang boses na nang galing sa likuran ko.
WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING HERE?!
HOW COME NA SYA SI ADAM?
UGHHHH!!
"Dude! Take a sit ikaw nalang ang iniintay namin eh!" -Ryan
"Oh? Where's the Maurty you guys are refferring yesterday? Nandito na ba sya?" Sabi nya habang papunta sa upuan nya, which is nasa tapat ko.
Sya nga.
"Are you reffering to me? Oh, I'm Katrhianna Maurty Gilbert." Pinilit kong hindi mag mukang kinakabahan at inilahad ang kamay ko.
bakas sa muka nya ang pag kabigla, nan laki ang kanyang mga mata na parang nakakita ng multo.
Tinanggap naman nya ang kamay ko at nagpakilala rin sya.
"Adam, Klark Adam Carlisle." I immedietly remove my hand after he finished talking
"So shall we start?" Tanong ni Chloe
"Y-yah s-sure." Tanging sabi ni Adam, habang sinusuri nya ako
"So first we need to find a venue for the reunion, maganda siguro kung sa hotel resort sya, para maraming pwedeng gawin. Suggest kayo ng pwede basta pasok sa budget ng school" in her tone you can say that she is really a leader since before
Hinahayaan ko lang sila, napatingin ako kay Kla-- Adam. At nag iwas naman sya ng tingin.
"Pero pag hotel ang kukuhain natin baka kulangin ang budget natin." Sagot naman ni Audrey
"How much ba ang budget?" Tanong ni Adam at umayos sya ng upo
"500k " sabi naman ni Chloe
"Where did that money came from?" Curious kong tanong
"Yan ang budget ng Zhigh para sa reunion but sinabi naming tayo nalang ang mag pprepare kaya tayo ang magbabayad ng sosobra" Trish explained and then smiled at me
"So why don't you guys suggest an excellent hotel resort here" di pa kasi ako familliar sa mga hotels dito. Hotel lang namin ang alam ko hihi
Nagsabi lang sila ng mga hotels at una nilang sinabi ang Gilbert pero patay malisya lang ako, mahal daw kasi don kaya wag daw don.
"So what do you think guys? Is Liabel fine?" Tanong naman ni Adam
"Pero di ko gusto ang service dun eh, Maurty... dali na.." she pouted her lips while calling my name. Nako Chloe haha
"Bakit? Anong meron kay Maurty?" Takang tanong ni drew
"Kaya mo pala ako pinapunta dito ha." Sagot ko sa kay Chloe
"Dali na Maurty, 12 years kang di nagpakita kaya manlibre ka!" Pangungulit ni Chloe
Habang ang mga kasama naman namin ay na oOP na
"Okay. Sa Gilberts nalang ang venue" tipid kong sabi sa kanila at nag smile din ako ng tipid
"Maurty, Gilberts Hotel is a five star hotel isang simple event pa nga lang ang iheld don mahigit kalahating milyon na ang bayad. Di kaya ang Gilberts" pagpapaliwanag naman ni Trish
At napailing pa ang iba.
"Okay here's deal. I'll pay the venue and food or what-so-ever basta sa Gilberts. And yung budget gawa nalang tayo ng event for the street children. Mag plan nalang kayo ng motif para sa event. I just need to answer this call."
I excused my self when I saw the Tyler calling.
Why is he calling. May masama bang nangyari habang wala ako.
Pumunta ako sa pinto ng rest room
"Yes, ty?"
(Where are you?)
"Why? Did something happen?"
(I heard you left the country? So where are you? You left, while knowing that I'm still in hospital?)
"Ty, I left when I know you're fine already. I don't want you to stress yourself. I'm here in PH. Don't worry. I'm not staying here for good. I'm just on vacation"
(Why don't you just stay there with your family?)
"W-what are you saying Tyler? I need to go back, you know that. The trial is still on going. I can't stay here for too long."
(We both know that you're not safe here. I'm telling you this not as a prosecutor but as your friend. Rickson is still under investigation)
"I can't be a witness because I'm his lawyer. We both know that."
(I'm not telling you to do so. Just stay there. He's a powerful person. And since you witnessed him killing a person. He'll do everything to keep you quiet you know what I mean kath.)
"But you're not safe too. I'm not the only one who's dealing with death. You too. And you're still in there. I'm also worried about you--"
*Blag!**
"Ty, I'll hang up first I'll just call you later" then I hang up
"What are you doing? Are you eavesdropping?"
I asked him while raising my right brow
"I didn't hear anything"
"Hmm. KatRHIAnna Maurty Gilbert. So you're a lawyer now."
He emphasized the word Rhia
"I heard you graduated from Harvard. Tss." Bored na sabi ko sakanya
"Wow. It's been how many years? 8 years? I didn't know na sa Zendouxe ka pala nag high school."
He chuckled
"Don't worry hindi ko rin naman alam na nag Zhigh ka. We're fair."
Sagot ko sakanya
"You know what, it's funny. We're married and we don't even know everything about each other. Now I know why it didn't work out." Then he laughed, gusto kong sapakin yung bunganga nya hanggang sa matanggal.
"I have no time for your shits"
Then I left
**
"Rhia, I need to graduate in Harvard. So I'll be leaving Princeton in my 5th year. Just come with me. Please"
He told me while he's holding my hand. I don't want to study in Harvard, I prefer Yale.
"Adam, how many times do I need to tell you that I don't want to study in Harvard! Why don't we just stick to Princeton insteadd of leaving?"
I answered him with irritation
"And how many times do I need to tell you that I need to be in Harvard?! Can't you just say yes?! Sa lahat nalang ba ng bagay kailangan ikaw ang masusunod Rhia?!"
Now he's angry!
"Eh bakit ka nagagalit?! Ako ba ang laging nasusunod?! Hindi ba you're the one who always make orders!?" Sigaw ko sa kanya
"Fck!" Pagmumura nya at sinuklay ang kanyang kamay sa kanyang buhay sa sobrang inis
"Minumura mo ko?!"
Pasigaw kong tanong sakanya, di lang sya ang badtrip sa mundo
"No!!" Pag tanggi nya
"Eh kakasabi mo nga lang diba?! Tayo lang naman ang nandito!"
"What the-- Oh common Rhia! You know what, let's just rest. Hindi tayo magkakaintindihan dito." Pag suko nya
"You sleep in couch."
"What?! No! It's not comfortable to sleep in the couch" depensa nya
"So you want me to sleep in the couch? " I asked him while raising my brow
"Ugh! You're unbelievable!"
