As It Is Bearable [COMPLETED✓]

Chapter 3.

"I'm sorry, are you okay?"

Bungad na tanong niya sa babae habang binubuksan ang wine cellar. Hindi naman umimik ang babae sa loob at hindi gumalaw sa pagkakaupo sa loob ng cellar habang nakapalibot ang kamay sa hita niya. Unti-unti siya lumingon siya Yasser bago nagsalita.

"Tapos na kayo?"

"She already left."

"Not that, I mean, nakipaghiwalay ka na ba sa kaniya?"

Yasser grimly smiled and shook his head as the woman blinks in confusion.

"Wow, so kayo pa rin?"

"I loved her."

"Well, the girl you love cheated on you multiple times." She said sarcastically, "Or are you expecting that this mistakes of her will make your relationship stronger? Ha, don't believe Kelly Clarkson when she said what doesn't kill makes you stronger."

She said and stood up. Because she's been sitting inside the cellar for awhile now, her clothes reek of the smell of an alcohol. It makes Yasser blushed.

He looked away, but still offered his hand to help her.

"Thanks," she said to him as she accepted his hand before letting it go to remove some dust over her body. Pagkatapos non ay napaangat siya ng tingin kay Yasser. Tinitigan niya ang mukha ni Yasser sabay biglang tanong, "Did you kissed?"

Napakunot naman ng noo si Yasser, "What do you mean?" Takang tanong niya, napairap naman ng mata ang babae. Humakbang siya papalapit kay Yasser saka inangat ang kamay at hinaplos ang mukha ni Yasser, gamit ang kaniyang hinlalaki, mariin niyang pinunasan ang gilid ng labi ni Yasser.

"You have lipstick stain around your lips." Sabi niya saka pinakita ang pulang marka na nasa hinlalaki niya. She smiled maliciously while Yasser flushed.

"Ahm, she insisted of ahmm, kissing me--"

"Did you kissed her back?"

"It was an abrupt and sudden kiss, so I--"

"You didn't kiss her back?"

"Why does it matter with you if I kissed my girlfriend back or not?"

"So I would know whether to feel jealous or not."

She said making Yasser to froze, the woman smiled at him coquettishly before walking past him to get out of the room.

"Sigurado ka ba na nakalis na ang girlfriend mo?" Paniniguro niya bago buksan ang pinto ng break room. Sinundan naman siya ng tingin ni Yasser.

"Yes." sagot niya, ngumiti naman ang babae saka tuluyan nang lumabas ng kwarto. Sinundan siya ni Yasser saka nakita ang babae na may pinupulot na mga papeles sa ilalim ng center table malapit sa kinauupuan ni Chloe kanina.

"That--"

"Buti hindi napansin ng girlfrind mo ito, or did she simply ignored this? Did she asked anything about these?" Tanong niya habang inaayos ang mga papeles na nakakalat sa sahig. Nakita niya rin na kinuha ng babae ang bag niya na nakatago sa pagitan ng dalawang couches.

"Just when did you..."

He never saw the woman hide those thing while they were talking to each other earlier. It was as if,

"Sabi ko naman sayo, I want some drama." Sabi niya na may kaunting panghihinayang sa boses habang inaayos ang kaniyang mga gamit. "Unfortunately, your girlfriend seems more oblivious than she looked. Kung ako siya, hindi ko makakaligtaan na may mga gamit na pang-babae sa opisina ng boyfriend ko." Makahulugang sabi niya habang hindi pa rin tumitingin kay Yasser.

Pagkaraan ng ilang minuto, saka lang siya tumayo mula sa pagkakaupo at humarap kay Yasser.

"I don't know why you did not break up with your girlfriend even after learning what she have done, but still, I wish you well." She said while smiling. She turned around, and unlike awhile ago, she did not made a fuss about meeting Yasser again, it was as if she was already certain that Yasser and her will meet again, whether by chance or by accident.

Tumango tango na lang si Yasser pagkaalis ng babae saka pagod na umupo sa swivel chair ng opisina niya. He closes his eyes and let out a loud sigh. He didn't know the reason why, but he suddenly felt tired of women.

'There is a ton of problems in the world, why mine has to be about women?'

It was an unexpected development of problems he never wanted to have.

It was then, he realized something.

"Ah..."

'I was not able to ask for her name...!'

***

"Hello...?"

-- Good afternoon boss, how was it? How did your meeting with your unrequited love go? Umamin ka na ba?

"Tanga ka ba?" Inis na tanong ng babae habang papasok sa elevator ng building ni Yasser. She pushed the button to the first level parking lot and waited for the elevator to close. "Muntik na nga akong palayasin sa opisina niya tapos aamin pa ako? Edi mas lalo akong nilayuan." Naiinis na sabi niya habang pasakay sa kaniyang kotse.

-- ...Then why do you sound happy?

"Mmm?" Napahawak naman ang babae sa labi niya nang marinig ang sinabi ng kausap, ramdam niya ang nakaangat niyang mga labi sa dulo ng kaniyang mga daliri habang sinasara ang pinto ng sasakyan. "Well, how should I say this? Even though our first official meeting is not at all a 'happy moment', I atleast felt that we have become closer to each other."

Delusyunal na sabi niya habang inaalala ang mga nangyari sa kanila ni Yasser. First, he grabbed her hand. Secondly, he dragged her into a small room. Then third, he assisted her to hide into the cellar of his break room. And lastly, help her out from hiding there.

'Even though the reason he grabbed my hand was because I put my hand over his mouth without consent, and the reason why he helped me hide is to prevent creating misunderstanding with his girlfriend, it' doesn't matter.'

Physical interaction is a physical interaction, no matter what reason it is.

Napatingin siya sa daliri niya na ginamit niya pampahid sa labi ni Yasser saka nilapit sa kaniyang labi. Even though his lips was kissed by another woman at that time, in that very same place, it still felt precious for her.

So she planted a deep kiss on her finger which touched Yasser lips before speaking.

"... I was also successful on planting my devices around his office." Sabi niya.

-- You still didn't drop that silly plan of yours?

"Pfft," natatawang sabi ng babae. "Silly? Why would you say like that?"

Finally meeting Yasser after admiring him from afar gave the woman a reason why she should not just settle from admiring Yasser from afar. She's sicked of just admiring him from afar when she could have him and own him. She should be brave and more courageous to covet him, even after witnessing firsthand, the love Yasser had for his girlfriend.

But Ledaine, the woman's name, already knows that. She knows that it won't be easy capturing the heart of an animal that had been tamed by another for so long. So in order to have Yasser, the man she's been secretly in love with for all these years, there is only one solution.

"If I can't have him in a normal way, then I will have him in the most unusual way."

Ledaine could hear the person she's talking, gulped hard.

--... You might get in jail because of what you're about to do.

"I don't care," Ledaine said while shrugging her shoulders. "I have more ways to get out of jail as much as ways to forcefully own Yasser."

Now, the only problem she have is how to make Yasser fall out of love with Chloe.

'I don't really want to use this method but, I have no choice.'
