Her Twisted Mistake

Chapter 3

The sobs died down when Carolina told them to stop. They tried to sleep after the confrontation. Basta ang alam ko, base sa sisihan nila, Carolina has a boyfriend na member ng APS which wants the RAVENS to fall down. 

Carolina's supposed trip was about her meeting up with her boyfriend para sabihan siya ng mga plano nila kung paano ma-infiltrate ang RAVENS. I now think that this APS use my cousins sa kadahilanan na malaya silang nakakapag interact sa mga member ng RAVENS. Hindi sila paghihinalaan dahil iilan sa members ng RAVENS ay shareholders sa kumpanya namin. Who would think my cousins will betray them when some of them are great investors of our company, right? 

But then, I don't really know much about this RAVENS. I only hear things about them kapag pinag uusapan sila ng tatlo. These members of this RAVENS are always the topic of women in parties as my cousins say. Hindi rin naman ako active sa mga parties kaya wala akong alam. 

Kinabukasan, pag gising ko, ako lang ang tao sa kwarto. The bed hasn't been made up yet since I'm still tangled in it. I groaned and looked at the digital clock beside the bed. 

Alas diez na! Hindi man lang ako ginising. 

Papasok na ako sa bathroom nang may pumasok na hausehelp sa kwarto para maglinis. When I went out of bathroom, malinis na ang kwarto. Wala na din ang househelp kanina. 

Nang pababa ako, agad kong nakita si Juliana. She was alone in the living area. I observed her face and there's no evidence of her crying last night. It was completely covered in makeup. 

"Morning. Nag almusal kana?" tanong ko paglanding ko sa baba. 

She glanced at me, weakly. "Yeah. Nasa dining area na sina Carolina, still eating." 

I looked at her sharp. 

"Bakit? Alas diez na ahh! Ngayon lang kayo kumain? Asan si Lola?" I probe. 

If I hadn't heard them last night, I wouldn't even ask if they already eat. Not when I'm still in the bobita phase. 

"Kakagising lang namin… kanina. And Lola is out. May meeting sa main company." Walang gana ang boses niya. 

I nodded and proceeded to the kitchen. May naabutan akong isang kasambahay doon. 

"Ma'am, nasa dining area na po ang almusal niyo…" she said a bit nervous. 

I smiled at her. "Dito ko gusto eh. May pagkain pa? Or pwedeng paki lipat nalang dito ang pagkain ko sa dining area?" 

"Sige po, ma'am." agad niyang sagot. Hindi ko alam kung bakit say tensionado. Hindi naman ako masama ahh! 

She chose to serve new food for me. Kumakain na kasi sina Carolina nang dumaan ako. They are talking seriously again kaya dito na ako dumeretso. 

Matapos akong pagsilbihan ay agad ding umalis ang hausehelp. I took that opportunity to talk to my client. 

My planed after reading her text message is to postpone the meet up but since wala din si Lola… and usually kapag may meeting sa main office, nagtatagal… tatanggapin ko ang offer niya na mag meet kami ngayon. 

Alice, who is my client name, proposed na sa isang sikat na restaurant kami mag meet. It was a 30 minutes drive from her kaya pumayag na ako. 

After my brief breakfast, nagmadali akong bumalik sa kwarto ko. Wala na silang tatlo sa living area o sa dining area. 

I immediately get the blueprint at mabuti at naka print na din ang iba pang documents. In fact naka organized na sa isang folder. 

Matapos ay nagmadali din akong pumunta sa kwartong tinulugan namin. Hinanap ko ang susi ni Sheena pero wala sa mga tukador ng room. It took some of my time. When I'm sure the key isn't there, lumabas ako at pumunta sa kwarto ni Sheena.
