The Hidden Agenda

Bong's pov
  
 

Its been 1 week since hindi ako kinakausap ni Sara, she treat me the way she was before..

Hindi nya ako masyadong pinapansin kinakausap nya lang ako kapag may kailangan akong papers sa kanya, kapag naman pinapapunta ko sya sa loob ng office ko iba ang inuutusan nya..

Lagi rin silang magkasama ni Carpio na pinagtataka ko, ang bilis nilang naging close sa isa't isa..

There is one time na pinatawag ko sya sa office kunwari ay about sa work, pero gusto ko lang talagang mag explain sa kanya kung bakit hindi ko sya nasipot ng gabing yun..
  
  
Flashback
  
  

Pagkapasok nya hinila ko agad sya sa secret room para kausapin, pero di paman kami nakakalapit at tinanggal nya na ang kamay nya kaya taka ko syang nilingon..

Kunot ang kanyang noo at naka crossed arms habang galit akong sinisipat..

"what you want Gov!"  madiing tanong nya

"can we just talk? Please kausapin mo naman ako, hear my explanations please Sara.."  pagmamaka awa ko pero inirapan nya lang ako at tinalikuran

"you don't need to explain Gov!  You don't owe me an explanations, and I want you to do me a favor.."  aniya habang nakatalikod sakin

"what is that?"  malungkot kong tanong

"Let's stop what we have right now, the earlier the better..

Let's just go back the way we used to be before, you're my Boss and I'm your employee.."  she said firmly

"No Sara!  Bakit mo ba ako pinapalayo sayo? "  malungkot kung tanong

"you're tied up with some else Bongbong, I don't want to have a problem later.."  huling salitang sinabi nya saka lumabas ng opisina ko

I was devastated the moment she left, I feel like she broke up with me even if we're not really into relationship..
   
  
End of flashback..
 
     
    
 
Simula ng araw na yun ay bibihira ko na ring makita si Sara sa office ko, sabi nila ay kasama nya raw lagi si Vice Gov. at lagi silang may inspections sa mga area kung saan may projects akong on going..

Its friday at kakatapos lang ng Presscon ko with the local medias here in Ilocos, lumabas nako ng opisina ko para sana may kunin sa secretary ko but to my surprise dumating si Vice Gov na may dalang bouquet of flowers..

"Hi Gov good afternoon.." masayang bati nya at lumapit sakin para makipag lamano

"good afternoon din Vice.. What can I do for you? And why do you have flowers? Is that for your girlfriend?"  kunwari at nakangiti ako pero may kakaiba akong naramdaman

Vice Governor Manases Carpio is my 3rd termer political tandem since my first term as Governor of Ilocos Norte..

Pareho kaming last termer next year, he is 29 years old and single..

While me is 35 years old and Sara is just 25 years old..

"hindi pa naman girlfriend Gov nililigawan pa lang.." masayang sabi nya at nagtilian naman ang ibang empleyado sa opisina ko

"mabuti naman may gusto ka ng babae, akala ko torpe ka.." pabiro kung sabi sabay tawa, tumawa rin naman sya na may kasama pang pag iling

"akala ko din Gov torpe ako, pero nasabi ko naman sa kanya na gusto ko sya.." natatawa nyang sagot
