"Anong balak mo ngayon kay Callista niyan?"

For the years we've been together, I'd never thought of anything else but marrying that woman. I courted her to marry, I worked for her 'yes' for a claim. That woman just made me feel the love in any possible way and I just can't get rid of that, knowing I'm head over heels.

"Papakasalan," I uttered with a smile on my lips.

Tangina. Kahit sino atang iharap sa akin kapag usapang Callista Layne, Callista Layne lang talaga ako mapapatingin. Parang dati lang, sinusungit-sungitan niya pa ako dahil masyado daw akong maloko, hindi niya daw type. One thing I really love about her is her bluntness.

Straight to the point magsalita, hindi nagsusugarcoat. Parang pati tuloy ang personalidad niya, gusto kong pakasalan. She's just too beautiful to resist, too clever and smart to not dream about. They said no one's perfect but that woman actually defined 'perfect' for me.

When I was young, I thought I would never know the definition of love... Iisang babae lang naman kasi ang nakakasalamuha ko noon, si Hestia, iyong kababata ko. But then, Callista Layne came on the feature, captivating and twisting my life with her fingertip.

Napakaganda.

That was my thought when I came home, seeing her sleeping peacefully on our bed. Bahagyang nakaawang ang labi, sabog ang buhok sa unan. I chuckled, licking my lower lip after as I neared her.

Kaagad na inayos ko ang pagkakahiga niya sa kama, sandali pa siyang napamulat nang maramdaman na umangat ang katawan niya. Umupo tuloy kaagad ako sa gilid ng kama para haplusin ang buhok niya, kawawa naman, pagod na pagod mula sa trabaho.

"Kumain ka na?" She whispered, still closing her eyes.

"Hm," Tumango ako, patuloy sa paghaplos ng buhok niya. I laid down beside her, slowly wrapping my arms around her body. "How about you? Kumain ka na ba? May gusto ka bang kainin?" Hindi na siya nakasagot at nang silipin ko ay napakahimbing na ng tulog.

I placed a kiss on her forehead before I let myself got dogde on to sleep. Gusto ko na lang din itulog ang pagod mula sa trabaho, magaan naman ang pakiramdam ko dahil katabi ko siya. We're just really working hard for our future.

But as the morning came when I woke up, wala na siya sa tabi ko, nasa trabaho na siguro siya. It's always been our routine, she's busy with her work. Hindi ko naman siya gustong pigilan sa mga gusto niya pero minsan kasi naiisip ko kung saan pa ba ako nakalugar.

She barely have time with me, hindi niya napapansin na nawawalan na din siya ng oras sa akin. I wanted so hard to tell her to have at least a time with me, ang nangyayari kasi ay nagkakasama na lang kami tuwing tulog siya. Everytime I want to tell her something, she's asleep.

"Fucking traitor," I mumbled as soon as I found out who's the reason behind the crime of stealing from my company. "A fucking million, huh." I could even my own blood boiling. The fuck, I've trusted a wrong person.

That was the beggining of the misery of my company. Nagsunud-sunod ang naging problema namin, there's this time our company had been turned down. Someone was putting dirt on my name, I don't know who, I don't even have a clue if who the fuck is the man behind this.

I just want to tell her what's happening in my company but when I got home and saw her sleeping, all my ambitions ran away. Hinayaan ko na lang siyang magpahinga, natulog lang ulit ako sa tabi niya pero kinaumagahan, wala na naman siya. I couldn't help but to get pissed.

"The fuck you are talking about!?" I hissed, throwing a glare at my secretary, halos manginig na ito sa harapan ko dahil sa kaba. "Talk to the fucking HR and told them about this case, the employee's resignment will be the cause of damages."
