12:55 PM.
Nasa meeting room na si Bong kasama ang mga cabinet members.
5 minutes na lang ay magsisimula na sila pero wala pa din ang dalawang inaantay niya.
He kept glancing on his watch to check the time at sa bawat segundong hindi pa dumarating si Sara ay mas lalong naniningkit ang mata niya.
Di na maipinta ang mukha ni Bong as the minutes went by.
At ayun tuluyan na ngang hindi nagpakita on time and VP secretary at ang DSWD sec.
"Sir 1:15pm na, I think we should start." Bulong sa kanya ni ES.
"Ok then. Take the lead. makikinig nalang muna ako." sagot niya kay ES na halatang wala sa mood
"Where the hell is that woman?" He asked himself while gritting his teeth.
Sa sobrang distracted niya ay hindi na niya naririnig ang mga pinagsasabi ng mga ka meeting niya.
Pero kahit G na G, he knew that he needed to be professional kaya para ipagpag ang inis niya, he excused himself to go to the bathroom.
Naisip niya na baka mas mabuting maghilamos nalang
muna to cool himself down.Saktong paikot na siya mula sa pwesto niya palabas sana ng meeting room, ng pumasok si Sara at Erwin.
They were giggling pero halatang naghahabol ng hininga.
Then Erwin spoke.
"Good afternoon everyone! Sorry we're late. Tumakbo na kami papunta rito pero di pa rin pala kami umabot. Pero di bale may good news naman kaming dala. Diba gwaps?" Sabi ni Erwin sabay tapik sa may bandang likod ni Sara
Bong's eyes widened when he saw Erwin's hand touch her back.
Kahit literal na tapik lang, parang nag black out ang paningin niya sa inis.
Magsasalita pa sana si Sara when he interrupted.
"Andito na pala ang lahat now we can officially start. VP secretary come here sit beside me at may ipapakita ako sayo. Sec Tulfo please settle down to your designated seat."
Striktong sabi ni Bong as he pulled her wrist and led her to sit beside him.
He was in complete possessive mode na kung pwede palang ay kandungin na niya si Sara ay gagawin niya.
He was definitely acting like a jealous guy and a few people in that room noticed that. Especially those who knew about their connection.
Nung makaupo na sila, that's when Bong let go of her hand and picked up his phone to text her.
Viber convo:
B: What was that? Gwaps? talaga? Is that a pet name? What the hell Sara!!!
Gigil na gigil na text ni Bong sa kanya.
Alam ni Sara na minessage siya ni Bong.
Sa diin ba naman ng pagkakapindot nito sa screen ay aakalain mong keypad phone ang gamit niya.
But instead of checking her phone, she ignored it.
When Bong noticed na hindi naman tinitingnan ni Sara ang message niya, mas lalo pang nagalit.
so he texted again.
B: Why are you so stubborn????? check your phone!! Grabe na to!! do you want me to go crazy???
But she still didn't check her phone.
Dedma pa din kahit umuusok na ang ilong ng katabi niya.
Imbes na lingunin niya si Bong, she just focused her attention to the meeting.
At natapos nalang ang meeting at lahat ay wala pa ding kibuan ang dalawa.
Lalabas na sana si Sara when Bong held her arm and stopped her.
Without saying a word, he looked at her straight in the eyes with that "Alpha look" dahilan para manlaki ang mata ni Sara at mapaupo ulit.
He looked so angry at first time niyang makita si Bong na ganun kaya gustuhin man niyang dagdagan pa oo ang pagpapasaway niya, napa sit down like an obedient puppy siya.
When everyone left the room there was a minute of silence.
Then he spoke.
"May relasyon ba kayo nung Erwin?? Do you like that guy??" he asked with an obviously pissed tone.
"Relasyon?? wala naman. We're just friends." Casual na sagot niya sabay inom ng tubig.
"Are you sure about that? parang enjoy na enjoy ka ngang kasama siya eh. may Petname pa. Gwaps? really? Tell him to stop calling you that." he commanded.
When Sara heard what Bong said at kung paano niya sinabi yun, biglang tumaas ang kilay niya.
Ang pinaka ayaw niya sa lahat ay yung inuutusan siya kung anong gagawin niya. No one could do that to her, not even her dad.
So she spoke
"Why?? Ang sabi ko friends lang kami diba? Teka nga lang, ba't ka ba nagagalit??? Ako ba nagalit nung may pa beloved at minamahal na asawa ka??? I patiently waited for you to come home in 2 weeks just like you promised, pero ano??? You never did. So don't blame me if I'm acting like this. You don't own me Ferdinand!!!! Hangga't tinatrato mo akong second option, YOU Don't have the right to tell me what the hell I'm going to do with my life!! Kung talagang mahal mo ako, patunayan mo. Stop acting like a jealous lover when YOU yourself cannot settle your own problems. At pwede ba!!! Kung gugustuhin kong maghanap ng iba, di na ako mag aantay ng tatlong buwan lalo na ngayon at tapos na ang annulment namin ni Mans. Don't annoy me Ferdinand otherwise, papakasalan ko ang unang single na lalaking dadaan sa harap ko! I'm telling you, don't go there."
When Bong saw and heard Sara's reaction, parang bigla siyang kumalma.
Yes there are many fishes in the ocean at kung tutuusin pwede naman niyang makuha kahit sino pang babaeng gustuhin niya but he also knew too well that the saying applies to both sides.
Kung makahanap man siya ng iba, mas lalo na si Sara. She's younger, smart and beautiful at sa totoo lang pag nangayari yun, it will be the death of him. Di niya kakayaning makitang ikasal sa iba ang lablab niya.
When he realized that, his aura quickly shifted from an angry tiger to a cute kitty cat.
Bigla din siyang napatayo at napayakap sa likod ni Sara.
She was still sitting so he went behind her and rested his chin on her shoulder then spoke.
"Sorry mommy boss..I just love you too much kaya ako nag seselos. Bati na tayo please." he said softly.
When Sara felt Bong's touch, imbes na gumaan ang loob niya, mas lalo pa siyang nairita.
How can he not react to the most important thing she said about his marriage with Liza?
She just told him about what she feels about him not settling his problems at hindi man lang siya binigyan ni Bong ng assurance.
Then she told herself.
"Really Ferdinand? Mahal mo ba talaga ako, o nag eenjoy ka lang na kasama ako?Assurance lang naman ang kailangan ko eh. Bakit di mo magawa? Are you trying to keep me as your mistress forever? Wala ka ba talagang balak pakasalan ako?"
Nung maisip niya yun, a teardrop fell from her eye.
Then she spoke.
"Excuse me, I have to go to the DepEd office. Magkita nalang tayo sa condo."
Sabi ni Sara sabay tayo at labas sa meeting room.
Bong was left there speechless.
He knew exactly what Sara wanted to hear from him, but now is not the right time.
So until then, wala siyang choice kundi magtiis nalang muna sa kasungitan at pagpapasaway ni Sara.
