Loving a stranger

Chapter 9

Kinabukasan nagising ako na sobrang pagod. Sino ba naman kasi ang di mapapagod eh di ko na maalala kung ilang beses namin ginawa. Eto nga halos di ako makatayo dahil lahat yata kasusuan ko sumakit. Pero nalungkot ako when I found out wala si Brent sa tabi ko. "Umalis kaya siya?. "Sa isip-isip ko. So I decided to take a bath instead para kahit papano ma relax naman mga muscle ko. After I had a long shower nagbihis ako and hoping Brent just inside the suite doing some paper works but to my dismay his out of sight. And he left me a note beside the coffee table. So I read it.

Sab,
I'm sorry I didn't able to wait for you till you wake up. I have a flight to catch. So I'll see you when I get back. And before I forgot, letty will be on her way now to pick you up. -Brent.

Di ko alam, umiiyak na pala ako. Sino ba naman ang di maiiyak. Umalis siya na di man lang nagpaalam at di man lang nagsabi kung san siya pumunta o kelan ang balik niya. Bwesit talaga ang lalaking yon. "Tahan na sab..sabi ko sa aking sarili. Tatayo na sana ako when I heard a soft knock, I'm sure ang assistant niya yon. So I decide to washed my face and open the door.

Hi Good Morning. "I told her with a big smile. I don't want her to know how miserable I am dahil sa bwesit niyang boss.

Good morning. I'm here to pick you up. I need to fly you back to California since my boss has other commitments. "She told me.

Yes I know. He left me a note. "I told her and she just nodded. So I decided to ask her. Ahmm.. Do you know where he went? "I asked her and hoping she would tell me.

He didn't tell you? "She asked me.

No, that is why I'm asking you. "I told her. Sa totoo lang naiirita na talaga ako. Pano naman kasi kung tingnan niya ako parang naaawa siya sa akin. Naku sab.. Guni-guni mo lang yan..saway ng aking utak.

I wanted to tell you but wala ako sa lugar to pry sa buhay ng boss ko. He paid me to do my job and to keep his personal private. May be you should ask him. "She told me. Sa totoo lang nagulat ako na marunong pala magsalita ng tagalog ang bruha. English kasi ng english pero naguluhan ako sa sinabi niya.

Anong ibig mong sabihin? I told her. Naiinis na talaga ako.

I think we should get going. Our flight we'll leave in 30 minutes. "She told me and grab my bag. Wala nalang akong nagawa kundi ang sumunod. Ano kaya ibig niyang sabihin sa sinabi niya..wag ka na mag isip sab. For sure purely business lang kaya bigla siyang umalis..sa isip-isip ko.

Habang nasa loob kami ng isang private jet. Nagtatalo pa rin isipan ko sa sinabi ni letty. May tinatago kaya si Brent sa akin. Ano kaya dahilan bakit bigla siyang umalis.

...................

Brent, do you think you did the right thing to leave her behind. May be she's wondern' now where you went? Trish told me over the phone. I arrived in London about an hour ago.

Yes. She needs me. "I told her while my eyes still focused on the road. I don't want to leave her behind but I received an overseas call last night that I needed to fly as soon as possible. So I have no choice but leave her. I'm not ready to tell her yet. This isn't the right time.

When are you coming back? Trish asked me.

I don't know but I'll try to be home soon. "I asked her and I heard her sighed.

When are you planning to tell her? "My sister asked me again.

When the time is right. For now, I don't think she needed to know. "I answered her.

I hope you tell her soon before it's too late. I'm sure she would understand. "She told me.

I'm not sure about that. "I told her.

Okay. Keep me posted. "She told me and hang up.

****Flashback from last night call.*****

Brent just staring at her wife for one hour now. Damn she's beautiful and she deserves to know the truth. I was about to go back to sleep when my phone rang. So I answered it without looking the caller ID.

Hello? "I answered.

Brent, it's Me. "She answered. I know something is wrong.

What happened? "I asked her.

He needs you. "She told me. I know she's crying.

Okay. I'll get the first flight in the morning. "I told her. I heard her say thank you and then hang up.

******End of flash back..

After that call. I decided to booked a flight and flew to London. I just parked my car outside her house. I didn't bother to knock since I have spare keys to the house. So I decided to let them know that I'm home. Then I heard footsteps coming from the stairs and there she is, always beautiful as ever.
