Chapter Thirteen: I Can Breathe Again

"Isa pa... Karine.."

Ano raw?

Isa pa?

Pagod na pagod na 'ko kakaisip sa halik na yon, nakailang beses din kami sa kotse pagkatapos. And every time I would end up asking myself whether I should ask him for another one but I didn't have to, siya na yung nagtatanong.

Ang rason niya para raw magets ko nang maiigi, gets na gets ko na, gusto ko lang maramdaman ulet ang labi niya sa'kin.

I couldn't believe it.

I couldn't stop thinking about it.

"Agh!"

'Di rin ako makapagfocus, I thought maybe taking a nap would help keep me calm, kailangan ko rin naman nang pahinga especially after failing to buy Mrs. Lee's shares of one of the Diamante's businesses. Sinubukan kong bilhin yung shares dahil sabi ni Aida na they trust us for it.

But Mrs. Lee already sold it to Lucas Vargas so it was too late for us.

Putangina, alam ko, nakakainis, nakakabwisit.

And the kiss is distracting me too. I even told my dad that I will buy the shares for us and I failed, how am I going to explain this to him?

"Karine... it's okay, we will get it, we can ask him to sell it to us for a good price."

Umupo ako sa sofa, nalulutang at nabibwisit pa rin.

I feel like I should apologize to Aida for my failure, this could have helped bring our two families closer together, kahit na ayokong tanggapin na naging kilala ang pamilya namin dahil sa kanila, kapamilya pa rin naman sila and I have a love-hate relationship with Aida.

"Too late, Cerine. May isyu yata yung mga Vargas kay Aida."

"Hah? Sa'n mo naman narinig yan?" Gulat niyang tanong tsaka upo sa tabi ko.

"Didn't you see them during Diamante's party? Nung opisyal na nilang inanunsyo na si Quinte—"

"Yes, yes... I know, I was there."

"Basta, intense silang dalawa nung gabing yon. Aida seemed upset pero ayun... basta, I need to talk to her about this." I sighed.

"I'm sure she'll be okay with this."

"Okay? Hah... I'm not okay! I told our dad that I'll buy the shares for us! Ano nang gagawin ko?"

"Just... rest, okay? We'll explain it to him later... and to Aida too."

Hinaplos niya ang baba ko bago siya lumabas para yata kausapin si Geneva tungkol sa resort, naiinis nanaman ako.

I don't know what to do anymore. Maybe I should just stop working for like a week, stop thinking about the business and start resting more. Alam ko ang pressure, nakakairita nga eh, pero anong gagawin ko? I chose this path because I wanted this, and now... fuck, I'm overdramatic.

Hihiga ulet sana ako nang biglang tumunog yung phone ko, my personal phone, not my business phone for business purposes obviously.

Tumayo ako at tsinek yung phone ko, someone's calling me... Zaiden.

Talaga?

Ngayon pa?

So what? Aasarin niya na 'ko pagkatapos nung nangyari 'no?
