Chapter 30

Malapit na kaming bumalik sa states pero mukhang wala atang planong bumalik yung dalawa kasi bumalik pa talaga sa Cebu para bisitahin muli ang lupang pagtatayuan ng bahay na gusto ni Tasha, and they didn't even tell me about it! Mga desisyon sa buhay, iniiwan lang ako, sa susunod naman ako mang-iiwan sa kanila, makikita nila.

Padabog akong bumalik sa cubicle na para sa akin, ako lang mag-isa dito! They all left me! Tapos wala naman ako gagawin dito! Nasa states yung mga files na kailangan ko! Yung mga kailangan ko sa buhay ko a nasa States, bakit pa kasi ako bumalik dito!

"Argh, I'm bored.." I whispered to myself, looking around thinking if I might be able to find something interesting para maibsan naman tong boredom ko.

Sakto namang dumating yung taga department team 4, "Excuse me po, may naghahanap daw po sa inyo sa lobby."

Thinking that it might be one of my friend, lumabas ako at bumaba papunta sa lobby but I was wrong when I saw Beatrice, she's looking at me without any emotions on her face. I guess she's the one waiting for me. Ginagawa ng babaeng to dito? Papansin lang din?

"What can I help you?" Tanong ko sa kanya, I don't want to be rude or do something to her, tsaka ako namang mag mukhang masama sa harap.

"Let's talk.." she said and I slightly tilted my head, aren't we talking already? Ano pa gusto ng babaeng to? "It's all about Attorney Gonzales,"

I shifted my weight after hearing the name she mentioned, I put my hand on my side pocket waiting for her to continue. Akala ko kung ano na ang kailangan nya sa akin, si Ian lang pala ang magiging usapin naming dalawa.

"And what about him?" I asked, I don't have any idea why she's talking about him to me. Mukha ba akong interesado?

"Pwedeng dumistansya at lumayo ka ng konti sa kanya?" She crossed her arms, "I don't like seeing you both being close to each other.."

"And where did you saw us being closed to each other?" Pinagsasabi ng babaeng to? May hangin na naman ba yung utak nito?

"Sa akin na iyon, All I want is keep a distance from him. Nakakasakit sa mata, alalahanin mo walang kayo." Kailangan pa ba talagang ipaalala n'ya sa akin yan?

"Bakit kayo ba meron?" I wanted to get her reaction but I was more shocked to find out na walang sila.

Based on her reaction, she couldn't formulate a word. Akala ko may sila because of how Beatrice treat him so well at akala ko nonchalant lang si Ian sa kanya but I once being in Ian's warm and hand, he isn't like that.

He likes to express his feelings through words and actions, now I get why Ian is so nonchalant to her sometimes. Noong nasa Cebu kami, I saw how cold he is to her, minsan nga hindi na pinapansin ang babae.

"You don't have any right to tell me to keep distance to him, kong wala ka rin naman pa lang karapatan sa kanya," I folded my arms and raised my brows. "I pity you, sino ka ba nya? Boss nya para sabihin mo akong lumayo sa kanya? Are you Attorney Lopez?"

"Oo wala akong karapatan sa kanya pero mas lalong wala kang karapatan sa kanya! You left him! You left him in pieces! You left him being shattered!" Nagsimula syang masisigaw and she's gaining attention from everyone around.

I scoffed, so kasalanan ko pa pala yung pag-alis ko? Kasalanan ko pa pala ang paghihiwalay naming dalawa? Did he turned the story around?

"You better shut up your mouth, wala kang ka alam-alam sa nangyari kaya wala kang ibang sasabihin. You better shut up your mouth." Banta kosa kanya, I am getting more worried because all eyes are on me.
