Nathaniel's POV

Kating kati na ko dito sa loob ng eroplano. Ba't ba kasi ang tagal ng landing? Five minutes pa lang naman mula nung magtake off. Pero kahit na! Kailangan ko nang balikan ang kailangan kong balikan. Iyon ay kung may babalikan pa.

"Sir? Do you want a cup of coffee?"

Nginitian ko lang ang flight attendant na dumaan sa tabi ko. "I'm fine, thanks."

"Enjoy the flight, sir." Then she moved away.

I breathed out after realizing I have been so tensed. I pulled my laptop out of my briefcase and checked the online stats of my business, Prime. It is a food industry. And since I wanted two professions, businessman and chef, I used the products produced in Prime FI to promote my very own Prime Restaurant.

I was busy scanning through the site of my restaurant when a notification from a rarely used website suddenly popped up.

Raiko Enriquez:

Sobrang tagal kong naghanap ng active account mo. Pumili ka pa ng madalang gamitin ng mga tao. Para ano? Para hindi ka namin makita? Tarantado

Nathaniel Salazar:

Excuse me, do I know you?

I laughed at my remark thinking na nagbibiro rin si Raiko sa chat. God, it has been years since I last saw them!

Raiko Enriquez:

Don't pretend that you do not know me to cover what you did to Maxine.

Natigilan ako sa sinagot niya. He knows. And definitely, they all knew as well. Ano kaya ang naging reaksyon nila nang malaman ang kagaguhan ko? Maybe theirs were the same as Raiko's.

Raiko Enriquez:

Anong dahilan mo para saktan siya? Now explain everything to me.

Nathaniel Salazar:

Raiko, I was left without a choice

Raiko Enriquez:

Really nate? Left without a choice? Wag mong sabihin sakin yan dahil alam kong magaling kang businessman! You fucking studied at germany!

And it has always been like business. You take it or leave it. There is nothing in between.

Nathaniel Salazar: I'm sorry if I had to choose my ambition over her.

Tama siya. Hindi naman ako naaubusan ng choice. Sa totoo lang, I had a lot of choices. Mas pinili ko lang talagang saktan si Maxine. Bakit, siguro dahil naging panatag ako na kami pa rin, na gagawa at gagawa ng paraan ang tadhana para lang magkasama kami sa huli. He did it already, another chance may not be too dificult.

Raiko Enriquez:

Maybe love is not really for you and her.

Nathaniel Salazar:

Rai

Raiko Eniquez:

Kaibigan ko yung tao mula elementary at kitang kita ko ang mga pagbabago sa kanya tuwing nagmamahal siya. Lalo na nung ikaw ang minahal niya. Oo wala na dapat issue pero nakakagalit ka kasj. It's crystal clear that this is your fault. Kung hindi mo siya iniwang walang alam, sigurado akong pilit ka niyang hinihintay hanggang ngayon.
