Habang hindi pa talaga nagsisimula ang promotion ng bago naming produkto ay pinuntahan ko muna si Annica sa wedding shop nito na malapit ng matapos.. inabutan ko si Monique na may inuutos sa mga construction workers.
'Si Annica?' tanong ko.
'Nasa loob, kausap si Vercel'
'andito siya?' nakakunot noong tanong ko.
'Malamang, siya ang architect namin e' natatawang sagot nito
'okay' uminit ang ulo ko ng malamang andito ang Vercel na yun. Hindi sa wala akong tiwala sa girlfriend ko pero wala akong tiwala sa Vercel Dela Cruz na yun.
'Si Nica?' sumenyas lang si Alani na nasa loob daw si Annica.
'Nakakadisturbo ba ako?' tumigil sila sa pagtatawanan at sabay na napalingon sakin.'Hon..' tumayo si Annica at lumapit sakin, I wrapped my arm around her shoulders. 'busy ka ata kaya di mo napapansin ang tawag ko'
'awww.. nakasilent kasi hon, alam mo naman diba na busy talaga ako' she looked apologetic but I cant hif my irritation.
'mukha nga' I mocked as I stared back to Vercel na kanina pa nakatitig samin.
'We were just laughing about this new-'
'Yeah right..' I cut him in at nagpalipat-lipat ang tingin nito sakin at kay Annica.
'ahh Vercel...'
'Awweee.. Sige may ichecheck din ako sa labas' nakangiting tugon nito kay Annica 'pare...' tumango lang ako bago ito lumabas ng opisina.
'what was that?' tinanggal niya ang kamay ko sa balikat niya at hinarap niya ako.
'Should I be the one asking you that? What was that?' naiiritang tanong ko.
'what was what? Ano na naman ba ang issue mo ngayon?'
'Have you forgotten that he once hit on you?'
'For Godsake, that was long ago Andrei and he already apologized for that, he was drunk and thought that I was Lauren so he attempted to kiss me Andrei.. can we just set that issue aside?' may halong iritasyong saad nito.
'And you expect me to
do that? he almost kissed my girldfriend and if I wasnt there, he could have just kissed you' I massage my temple due to frustration.'Damn it Andrei!!! Napakasarado ng isip mo.. saka antagal ng nangyari yun at hindi niya ako nahalikan.'
'No Annica.. ikaw ang sarado ang isip! Alam mong hindi ako komportable pero hindi ka manlang umiiwas, siya pa ang kinuha mong architect? Wala na bang iba?'
'Sana wag mong kakalimutan na may partners din ako sa negosyong to at sila Monique ang nagdesisyon na kunin si Vercel..'
'andami mong reasons.. ni hindi mo nga nabanggit na siya ang architect!'
'Because I know that this will be your reaction!'
'so you thought that lying will justify everything?'
'I wasnt lying.. Jesus Andrei, hindi ko lang sinabi sayo dahil-'
'By intentionally keeping something from someone is still lying Annica'
'FINE! If you think I lied then be it.. Its nonsense to argue over something that's been long done'
'OKAY! Baka nakakadisturbo din ako sa inyo ng Architect ninyo.. aalis na ako' tumalikod ako a narinig ko siyang bumuntong hininga at natigilan ako sa paghakbang.
