Officially Unmarried

Chapter 24

Chapter 24

It's been a week since the party of Xavier. I'm here in my office doing a lot so stuff. I'm quite busy this past few days. I also visited Naya at Deiz in their house and I'm glad they going fine. Kuya really is taking care of them.

"Isabella, hindi ka pa ba uuwi? It's late, I thought susundoin ka ni Akiro?" Tanong saakin ni Andrea.

"Akiro is in Laguna for his meeting so he can't fetch me here dont worry I'll be going later before I finish this" I said.

"..okay"

Natapos na rin ako sa kaka-type. Kinuha ko na ang mga gamit ko at lumabas na sa may office. Nakita ko na patay na lahat ng ilaw. Usually kasi 9pm pa lang naalis na ako or sinusundo ako ni Akiro but now it's already 11:30 at wala na talagang tao.

"Ma'am mukhang ginabi po yata kayo ngayon ah" bati ni Kuya Guard ng makarating ako sa ground floor.

"Yes, medyo marami lang tinapos kuya" I said.

"Nako ma'am delikado po ngayon gusto nyo po samahan ko kayo sa parking lot?"

"No, it's okay Kuya, I can handle naman, goodnight" I just said and continue my way to the parking lot.

I saw my car and I'm finding my keys inside my bag but I can't find it. I remember that I put my keys in the side table. I sighed. Aakyat nanaman ako. Ipapakuha ko na lang kay Kuya Guard but before I took my back I saw a guys standing infront of me.

Napatras ako. I didn't know who he was. Meron siyang takip sa mukha just like the guy who attack me in my condo before. I couldn't tell if they were a same person.

"W-who are you? What do you want?"
I bravely ask.

"Masyadong pakialamero ang Asawa mo. Nabubulyaso lagi plano namin. Pinapainit nya ulo ni boss" sabi nya. He took a step to come closer to me so I step back.

"Eh hindi nya alam na natira kami ng patalikod, binalaan na namin ang Asawa mo na huwag makialam pero masaydong matalino ang asawa mo at nalusotan kami" My heart start to beats fast when he pull up a knife. I'm scared.

Akiro...

"No! Don't come near me!"
I shout.

"Help! Help!"
I shout to the top of my lungs wishing someone might hear me. I hold my bag tightly when he continue to step closer.

"Kumakati na ang kamay ni boss na patayin ang asawa mo pero uunahin na kita" Hinampas ko sya ng bag at tsaka tumakbo. Goodthing my phone is on my pocket. I immediately grab it and dialed my husband's number.

"Hey wife, I'm on my way home-"

"A-akiro t-there this guy who's trying to kill me! Please be here, I scared! He's following me-" the guy grab the phone and throw it away. Sobrang kinakabahan na ako hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko. I tried to fight but he's just so strong.

May pinaamoy sya saakin na agad nagpaliyo saakin. I lost consciousness.

Nagising ako ng may narinig akong kalabog. Agad akong bumangon. Napakadilim ng paligid at wala ako halos makita. Narinig ko muli ang kalabog kaya sumuksok ako sa gilid. Tuluyan na ngang bumukas ang pinto at may nakita akong lalaki naglakad papunta agad sa pwesto ko.

"W-wag mo akong sasaktan..."
Humihikbi kong sabi dahil sobrang kinakahaban na ako ngayon. He lower his body, naramdam ko iyon kahit nakayuko ako.

"W-wag kang lalapit..."
Kinakahaban kong sabi. Nakita ko ang kamay na na tinaas nya at nilalandas patungo saakin. Kumilos ako at umiwas. I don't want any guy to touch me except my husband.

"Shhh...I will never hurt you, wife"
Nagulat ako sa boses na iyon. Biglang bumukas ang ilaw at bumungad saakin ang malambot na ekspresyon ng asawa ko habang nakatingin saakin. Napaiyak naman ako at agad na yumakap sa kaniya.

"I-I thought... I'm going to d-"

"Shhh... everything is okay, don't worry, stop crying, this is all part of the plan" sabi nya at hinimas-himas ang buhok ko upang pakalmahin.

"What plan are you talking about?" I ask. I saw Xien she hand me a glass of water. I said thanks to her and look at Akiro. Waiting for his answer.

"Ganito kasi 'yon, si Dad kasi ni Akiro ayaw makipag-negotiate sa ibang mga mayayabang na mga 'yan eh masyadong matalino si Tito kaya hindi nila ito maiisahan. They try to but didn't succeed. Katulad na lang noong grandfather ni Akiro, ayaw nila makipag-negotiate basta-basta eh kating-kati na kamay ng mga 'yon kaya lang hindi nakaligtas si grandfather ni Akiro" pagdaldal ni Klirton na nakaupo sa sofa katabi ni Cyvin na may kinakalikot sa cellphone nya.

"Si Tito, pinamana kay Akiro ang company tapos itong si Akiro na mas mataas pa ang pride sa suot mong takong ngayon eh ayaw din ng mga negotiate na 'yan kaya ayon lalong nag-init mga pwet ng kabilang side, they want Levarez out of business"
Pagpapatuloy nya.

"Ayaw makipag-negotiate?"
I ask. Naalala ko kasi na may share rin sya sa company namin.

"Well iyong sa inyo naman is different, sabi nga ni Akiro 'Where wife is, he will lingkis" abnormal pa nya na pagkakasabi.

"Shut the fvck up!"
Inis na sigaw ni Akiro. Natahimik naman si Klirton at inirapan si Akiro.

"Kanina, a guy tried to kidnap you but goodthing Apollo is near your place so I ask him to help you, I'm sorry if I just.."

"It's not your fault..."
I said. Tinanong ko kung nahuli ba 'yong lalaki.

"He's in a better place now"
He said in a serious tone.
