Alas diyes na ng umaga pero hindi ko pa din nakikita miski anino niya. Nakatambay ako ngayon sa ilalim ng puno. The wind spread thoroughly as my hair was blown by it. Dinama ko ang mainit na ihip ng hangin at pinikit ang mata.
Kahit gaano pala kasakit ang nararamdaman mo ay tila nagagamot ito nang simpleng pag tanaw mo sa mga naturang gawa ng panginoon. The skies, sea, and hills were mesmerizing enough to ease my pain.
Odette wasn't around at aniya ay babalik daw siya mamayang hapon. Tatapusin lang daw ang kanyang shooting ng mabilisan para daw maka sama ako. I never mind at all, and let her be.
Namataan ko ang pamilyar na pigura na pumasok sa gate. Nagulat din ito nang makita ako. Lincoln excitedly waved his hand to me. Bahagya akong natawa sa naging reaksyon nito nang makita ako.
He was wearing corporate attire. He looks more manly and pure with the suits, this guy really knows to dress up. Hindi na rin ka-taka taka kung bakit siya hinahabol ng mga babae.
I suddenly remember Damon, salungat sila ng features at nature ni Lincoln. Lincoln is a bright and soft spoken guy. While Damon.. was very likely ruthless and aggressive.
The more i thought of him, the more it tortures me. I don't know when and how did my feelings develop, i don't know if all this time i was in denial?
" Long time no see, balita ko kay Odette ay naging abala ka sa mga Exam mo. How was it? " tanong niya at umupo sa tabi ko. Pipigilan ko sana ito dahil baka madumihan ang suot niyang suit dahil mukha pa itong mamahalin.
" Hard, pero almost sa subject ko ay na-perfect ko naman. Grabe lang ang pressure, ganito pala pag nag sisikap kang i-maintain ang grades mo para lang maka-libre sa magandang paaralan. " Ngumisi ako.
" Then we need to celebrate! " he excitedly said.
" Hindi naman kailangan non, buti sana kung graduation ko na. " Biro ko pa sa kanya.
Bumukas ang double door sa mansion, halos kabahan ako dahil inaasahan kong siya na yung makikita ko pero isa lang pala sa mga katulong ang lumabas. Napakagat ako sa ibabang labi, ang sabi ko ay si Odette ang ipinunta ko rito? Why the hell am i waiting to see him?
" We are going to ride a cruise ship tomorrow to celebrate a successful deal between the LGOC and United states. We targeted the biggest customer of oil and it was a success. It means they are gonna let our company to supply their oil. Damn, Damon will be probably busy for the incoming years. " anito.
" Then.. he will be mostly based in USA? " naninimbang kong tanong.
He pursed his lips and nodded. " Paniguradong mapapadalas lang sa ibang bansa or he can send someone there as a representative depending on what occasion. Hindi lang naman kasi USA ang susupplyan. "
Mapait akong ngumiti. Look how he'd become. Paniguradong kung itinuloy niya iyong engagement niya ay mas lalong lalago ang kompanya nila. But even without that engagement, he can do it by himself.
He hand me a bronze colored envelop. Curious akong tinignan iyon at tinanggap. " What's this? "
He plastered a smile on his face. " Let's say, uhm.. i'm giving you an opportunity to attend with me at the party tomorrow to meet some business man, investors, or some socialites. Sorry to budge, but i did a little digging about your school records. "
He stopped for a moment to see my reaction but i let him continue. " I want you talk to them about your skills, i already told them about you so no need to worry. Some of them are willing for you to finish senior high school so you can enter their company. What can you say? " He smiled shyly.
