Officially Unmarried

Chapter 12

Chapter 12

2 weeks had passed at hindi ko na ulit inaala ang nangyari. Hindi na rin nagtatagpo ang landas namin ni Akiro. Tuwing may board meetings with the investors si Andrea ang pinapapunta because I'm sure nandoon din si Akiro. Iniiwasan ko talaga magtagpo muli ang landas namin hanggang ngayon iniisip ko pa rin ang sinabi nya noon na may dahilan sya kung bakit nya 'yun ginawa.

"Ma'am"
Napapitlag naman ako at tumingin sa pinto ng office ko doon ko nakita si Andrea. Kanina pa siguro ako nakatulala.

"Are you okay?"
Tanong nya. Tumango naman ako at pilit na ngumiti.

"Yeah"
Mahina kong tugon.

"The investors will be here soon Ms. Isabella and your dad request for you to come, there's a lot of important investor that is going to come for this important meeting that your dad conducted" sabi ni Andrea kaya namuhay nanaman ang kaba sa dibdib ko.

"If you're worrying that you might see Mr. Levarez there don't worry his secretary already informed me that he is not going because of some reason" sabi naman ni Andrea kaya nakahinga ako ng maluwag.

"Thank you, you can leave "
Pasasalamat ko. Pumunta muna ako sa comfort room to retouch my light make-up. I put some powder and lipstick and apply some lip gloss and put some light blush on in my cheeks when I'm satisfied in my looks pumunta na agad ako sa meeting room.

I see no one but Kuya and Dad they are talking. Some serious matters I guess 'cause kuya's expression is serious ganon din si Dad.

"Maguusap tayo mamaya kasama ang mom mo, just wait 'till she heard about this son, she might freak out, and also bring them with you, I want to meet them"

"Meet who dad?"
Tanong ko kaya napalingon sila saakin. Nagbago naman agad ang eskpresyon nila at sinalubong ako ng ngiti. I kissed my dad's cheeks and so on Kuya.

"It's nothing sweetheart you will meet them later, so go at the mansion, 'don ka na magdinner" sabi ni Dad. Nacurious tuloy ako.

"Ok dad"
Nakangiti kong sabi. I'm happy seing my dad is now well not like the other time when he can't even get off his hospital bed. Happy seing him fully recovered and healthy again.

He excused himself when our other investors enters the room. Nakipagusap muna si dad sa kanila. Si Kuya naman ay parang tanga na nakangiti sa tabi. Hindi ko na lang sya ginulo dahil mukang may ka-text sya sa cellphone nya at hindi nya talaga mabitawan.

Napangiwi pa ako dahil humahagikhik pa sya na parang kinikilig. Abnormal.

"Huy!, What the hell are you doing?, You sounded like a teenager boy who just got notice by her crush" irap kong sabi.

"Yeah? You think so?" Walang pakialam nyang sabi at hindi man lang tumingin saakin kundi nasa cellphone nya pa rin. Umiling na lang ako.

Maya-maya pa ay nagsimula na ang meeting. All about business. I'm kinda also interested about business but some other parts are boring.

"Is Mr. Levarez aslo agreed to this?, Oh where's Mr. Levarez?" Bigla ako napalingon sa Isang investor namin dahil binanggit nya si Akiro.

Well lagi naman syang binabanggit 'cause of all investors Akiro was one of our Important investor. Malaki rin ang Levarez Corp and I know they are well known.

"He can't attend at some reason, He said his sorry for his sudden abse-"

"Sorry I'm late!"

Nanlaki agad ang mga mata ko dahil nakita ko syang pumasok sa room. Nagtama ang mga mata namin kaya umiwas ako ng tingin at tinutok ang tingin sa Folder na hawak ko.

"Oh he's here" rinig kong sabi ni Dad. Nakita ko rin na pumasok rin sa loob si Apollo at Klirton. Nakita ko naman ang paghagikhik ng ibang mga babaeng investors dito sa loob kaya napakunot ang noo ko.

"Sorry Tito, there's a sudden problem at the office so I had to fix it" paliwanag ni Akiro. Agad naman itong sinagot ni Dad.

"No, It's okay son, We are just starting"

Tito? Son? Aba kailan ba sila naging Tito and Son basis?.

"As I was saying, There's a project that my daughter here will conduct and as everybody know, I'm not the CEO here anymore it's my daughter, in behalf of me I approve her project, it's on everybody's desk you can check it all"
Sabi ni Dad.

Agad ko namang hinawakan ang folder at tiningnan ang nakasulat. The meeting goes well. Everyone shared there opinion. I'm just irritated at Ms. Gayzon. Tinatarayan nya ako. She has a comment at every suggestions I take.

"Well what is the purpose of building this project anyways?" Tanong nya kaya napalingon sakanya ang lahat.

"I already stated it Ms. Gayzon, if you're just listening and not staring at Mr. Levarez" seryoso kong sabi. Kita ko naman ang pag tingin saakin ni Akiro pero hindi ko ito tiningnan.

"Well I'm just appreciating his beauty, It's my first time seing him in person" nakangisi nitong sabi.

"And might it will be the last"
Malamig ko ring sabi.

"Excuse me?"

"Ms. Gayzon, as our investor you are here to hear what is our next move in this project we will make and not to flirt with other investor as well, if that's your intention you are free to leave" nakita ko naman ang pagbabago ng itsura nya kaya palihim akong napangisi.

"Burn"
Mahinang tawa ni Klirton kaya napalingon ako sa gawi nila. Napatikom naman ang bibig nito. Nakangisi rin si Apollo. Si Akiro naman ay nakatitig lang saakin. Umiwas ako ng tingin.

The meeting went well. Hindi na rin nagsalita si Ms. Gayzon and I'm glad she did that.

"Thank you for coming" nakangiti kong sabi sa ibang investor at nakipagkamay.

"Nice project you got there"
Matthew just said. Napangiti naman ako.

"Thank you haha you also had a great project I just heard it about dad and nice to see you again" Matthew is my friend he's the son of Mr. Theosoro dad's friend. He just got back from Canada.

"Well I learned form the the expert and that's you, nice to see you too" natawa naman ako sa sinabi nya.

He was about to hug me when Klirton block his was.

"Opss sorry hehe I didn't see you pare!, Huy Akiro!" Tawag pansin ni Klirton kay Akiro kaya nagulat ako. Bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko dahil naglalakad na ito papalapit saamin.
Nakapamulsa pa ito.

Napigilan ko ang hininga ko dahil nasa harap ko na sya.

"Hehe excuse me pare ha"
Pangaasar pa ni Klirton kay Matthew at lalong hinarangan.

"What the-" hindi na natuloy ni Matthew ang sasabihin dahil binigayan sya ng coin ni Klirton na hininga pa nito kay Apollo.

"What is this?"

"Bili ka kausap hehe"
Pangaasar na sabi ni Klirton. Maging si Apollo ay napatawa na rin sa kalokohan ng kaibigan nito.

"Congrats in your project"
Sabi ni Akiro. Napalunok naman ako. He's wearing a god damn business suit and I hate the idea of him being insanely hot wearing that.

"T-thank you"
