Chapter 2

Yesha's POV

Nasa condo ko kami ngayon ni cathy hanggang ngayon gulat parin ako sa pangalan na binanggit ng lalaking yun tiningnan ko ang kaibigan ko na wala sa sariling naka tingin sa labas mukhang maraming iniisip.

"Ayos ka lang" nag aalalang tanong ko sa kaniya tumango lang ito bilang sagot.

"Bago kita tanungin nang sang dimak mak na tanong mag sabi ka muna sakin ng totoo. Ayos ka lang?" tanong ko uli sa kaniya.

"Actually hindi" matinong sagot na nito.

"Yesha" tawag niya sa akin at sa wakas ay lumingon sa banda ko "naalala mo ba yung lalaki sa panaginip ko?"

"Yan nanaman tayo catherina eh andiyan ka na naman"

"Yesha listen that man... hes the one that keep appearing to my dream"

"Kilala mo si mr Ezekiel so siya pala ang role model sa imahinasyon mo." napakalabog ang puso ko ng tumayo ito at hanampas ang lamesa ko.

"No I don't ngayon ko lang narinig ang pangalan niya and hes not my role model yesha maniwala ka sa hindi pero siyang siya ang lalaking nasa panaginip ko ang nangyari kanina akala ko panaginip lang yun natauhan lang ako at napagtantong totoo ang mga nagyayari ng puntahan kita" halos mawalan itong ng hininga sa sobrang bilis nitong mag salita.

"Oh sige oh sige umupo ka muna" sabi ko sa kaniya ng nakatayo parin ito dahan dahan naman itong umupo habang hinahabol ang hininga nito.

"Sabihin na natin siya nga pero pano ka naman na kakasiguro. Cathy you know very well that most of the people dont remember their dreams even the names and especially the faces of the person na napanaginipan nila so how are so sure na si mr. Ezekiel ang lalaking na sa panaginip mo."

"I know that very well but yesha all this time i been describing that man to you i know his face very well nung una hindi pero tatlong taon yesha tatlong taon siyang tumambay sa utak at isipan ko so how can i not remember his face, yesha believe me right now i dont have enough reason and evidence to prove that im telling the truth but you know na hindi ako nag papataw ng salita na walang kabuluhan."

"Unless its a joke cathy"

"And im not joking right now yesha"

"Ok fine, lets say i believe you para hindi ka mag kakanda kuba diyan sige i will pretend na naniniwala ako sayo pero ito lang ang ma sasabi ko hindi deserve ni mr. Ezekiel tong ginagawa mo"

"So you dont believe me"

"Cathy no one in their right mind will believe you"

"I dont need anyone i just need you to believe me!" sigaw nito sa akin, cathy is not a soffie shes scary when shes mad.

"I cant believe you right now" sabi ko sa kaniya.

"You havent see him smile did you, i know his smile yesha, more than anyone know kasi everytime na pumipikit ako mga ngiti niya palagi ang sumasalubong sakin"

"Cathy maybe you need to consult a doctor are you stress this past month"

"Ngayon mo pa talaga tatanongin sakin yan its been a year ever since he appear to my dream, well if you wont believe me theres nothing i can do, i get going now baka kung ano pa ang masabi ko" tumayo na ito at aalis na natigil lamang ito ng marinig niya ang sinabi ko

"By the way you know he has a past right" lumingon ako sa banda niya at nakita ko ang mapagtanong niyang reaksiyon Ezekiel Aquila Lecienco is one of the most successful businessman here in the philippine how can this friend of mine don't know him kahit sino ang tanungin ay kilala siya but not everyone know his face "huh" napahawak ako sa bibig ko ng may mapag tanto yes tama ka not everyone know his face kahit ako so how can cathy imagine his face.

"Ano" inis na tanong nito sa akin.

" halika dito umupo ka ulit"

"Bakit" nagtataray na tanong nito sa akin kaya di ko mapigilan ang sumigaw sa kaniya.

"Umupo sabi!"

"Ito na" nagtataray parin na sunod nito sa akin ng makaupo siya don ko na sinimulan ang pag kwekwento.

"Hes a successful and very well known bussinessman halos lahat alam ang pangalan niya pagkatapos ikaw hindi"

"Hindi nga diba pauli-!!" sigaw nito na pinutol ko agad

"Kalma di pa tapos yung tao at bat ba sigaw ka ng sigaw" suway ko at nagpatuloy "but not everyone know his face only those who get to interact with him because of investment and other staff of his, thats why i believe you now how can you imagine and create an image of him when you dont even know him unless youre one of the people who belong to the any other staff thats why you saw his face"

"Ok na sana eh dinagdagan mo pa ng any other staff" mataray na bulyaw nito sa paliwanag ko.

"Maybe im not in my right mind but yeah according to the scenario i create in my head there 99% that its not true but i will put my self to the 1% and i will hope that a miracle will happen cathy. A miracle.

Nag iwas ito ng tingin at tumango"Now tell me... about his past you said he has a past" mahinang tanong nito sa akin hindi parin ako tinitingnan.

"Well... everyone has a past just like you... but...are you ready, it will hurt you know" naninigoradong tanong ko sa kaniya na nag pa balik ng tingin niya sa akin.

"Whatever it is im sure i can handle it" matapang at confident na sabi niya but i know her very well i know deep inside na masasaktan siya.

"No one can easily enter his life cathy he has this girlfriend before that he treasure and care the most well im not very sure but according to speculation they been together bago pa siya makarating sa kinatatayuan niya but they broke up i heard that girl hurt him according to the gossip kaya daw hanggang ngayon wala parin siyang bago kasi until now mahal niya pa yung babae he lock hes heart as well as the door to his life and not anyone can enter that door you know marami ang sumubok pero wala ang naka kamit ng tagumpay so cathy it will be a hard road you dont even have a key with you." Kitang kita ko sa mga mata niya ang kalungkutan habang kwinekwento ko iyun wag mong sabihin na naawa siya kay mr. Ezekiel wala siyang panahon para dun kailangan niyang mag isip kung pano niya ulit makikita si mr. Ezekiel

" Wala PA ang nakakamit ng tagumpay yesha PA and well i dont really need a key. Im going to successfully enter the door to his life yesha. "

"What!" I smirk when i heard her kayabangan goshh this girl is so confident.
