"Sorry for my sister. She's like that, spoiled by our parents." he said sorry.

Tahimik lang ako habang magkatabi kami sa sofa. Alam ko at ramdam ko na alam niyang hindi ako masaya sa mga sinabi ng kanyang kapatid. That's why he's asking for a sorry. Well, that's fine with me. His sister is just telling the truth. I'm nothing compared to Celeste.

"Love, hey? I'm sorry." he said softly.

I smiled again, ensuring that I'm really fine.

"That's okay. Start with your work. Dito lang ako." I informed him.

He sighed. Naramdaman ko ang kanyang halik sa pisnge ko bago tumayo at lumapit sa kanyang lamesa. Tahimik ako habang hawak ang cellphone at nanonood ng mga videos sa social media. I'm not okay. I'm disturbed by his sister's judgement. He's using me for his pleasure? Ganoon ba talaga ang tingin ng kapatid niya sa akin?

Ganoon ba talaga ang mga mayayaman kung tumingin sa mga mababang uri ng tao? Ganoon ba silang tao? Madaling mang-apak ng kapwa?

I'm trying to divert my attention by sighing and thinking about positivity.  Seryoso si Areson sa kanyang ginagawa. He's reading some documents and at the same time, looking at his MacBook. Sobrang seryoso ng kanyang itsura, suot pa ang salamin sa mata habang nagbabasa.

He looks hot. I'm lost for words while staring at him. With those thick eyebrows, long eyelashes, pointed noise and soft red lips, talagang maraming babae ang naghahabol sa kanya. No wonder why Celeste is crazy over him.

Napahinga ako. Tumunog ang intercom.

"Mr. Rago, your meeting with Mr. Merciless is about to start in one minute." boses ng lalaki.

Meeting with Mr. Merciless? He means, Arvin Merciless? Is Ariadna here too?

"Coming." he said coldly.

Tumayo siya at niligpit ang mga papel sa mesa. Nang matapos, tumingin siya sa akin at lumapit. My heart pounded with his stares.

"I'm going to a meeting. Do you want to come?" he asked.

I shook my head. I'm fine here. Hindi naman ako kailangan doon. Tsaka ayokong makita ang mga panauhin sa meeting na 'yon. I'm not part of it.

"Dito lang ako. I'm gonna wait for you here." tugon ko.

He pursed his lips and then smiled. He planted a smooth kiss on my lips and then winked at me.

"Wait for me." aniya muling halik bago lumabas.

Napahinga ako ng maging mag-isa sa loob ng kanyang office. Pinalibot ko ang tingin sa loob. It's a massive and huge office. Anyways, he's the CEO. He deserves to have an office like this. Binasa ko ang kanyang pangalan sa unahan ng office table niya.

Areson Trax Alosreg Rago
Chief Executive Operation

He's really a business man. A prodigy on their family root. A lot of women are trying to have him. Sino ba naman ang aayaw sa katulad ni Areson? Billionaire. Smoking and handsome ruthless CEO. Tiyak na tiba-tiba ang babaeng magiging asawa. Kaya lahat siguro naghahangad sa kanya.

I smiled sadly. Malayong malayo sa katulad kong singer sa isang bar lang. Graduating but that's not enough. Ang hirap ng buhay. Mahirap mabuhay. Pero masaya kahit mahirap ang buhay. Masaya.

Bumukas ang pinto at pumasok ang babae, maganda kahit may edad na, maganda ang katawan at mukhang anghel.

"Lance, is my son in the meeting now?" she said softly at the man behind her.

Hindi pa nila ako nakikita. Tahip ang kabang nararamdaman sa babaeng pumasok. Who is she?

"Yes, madame." sagot ng lalaki.

Tumango ang ginang at agad na napatingin sa akin. Now, my heart is shaking for embarrassment. At first, her eyes were serious but when she noticed that I was scared, she smiled.

"Hello, dear?" she said tenderly.

Tumingin ako sa kanya. She looks like an angel.

"H-hello po." utal kong sagot.

Lumapit siya kaya mas lalo akong nataranta. Nang huminto siya sa harap ko, ngumiti siya.

"I'm Maria Fellomeña, but you can call me Tita Marfel. I'm Areson's mother." she said like an angel.

Tumayo ako kahit nahihiya. Inabot niya ang kamay ko at ngumiti. She's very beautiful. No wonder why River Jude Rago fell to a woman like her.

"I-i'm Theia..." kabado kong sagot.

She nodded. I never thought this would happen. God, I'm here to know Areson's life but not to see his mother this early. Kanina ang kanyang kapatid na babae. Baka mamaya, ang daddy niya naman? I'm not ready!

"Anyways, I'm here to check on my son. Is he doing well, hija? Lately, napapansin kong babad sa trabaho si Areson at hindi na kumakain sa tamang oras." she asked me.

I nodded.

"H-he's fine, Ma'am--"

"Tita Marfel, hija." she cut me off.

I sighed. First time seeing his mother this close and talking to her. I'm really nervous right now.

"I heard, you're living with him?"

I was about to answer her question when the door opened again and then Aressia came in.

"Mommy! Gosh, I was waiting on you! What took you so long?" she said bratly.

Tita Marfel smiled at me. Hinarap niya ang anak na naiinis.

"Aressia, meet your brother's girlfriend, Theia." aniya sa anak.

Aressia rolled her eyes and then shook her head to her mother.

"I already met her. Come on, daddy is waiting for you in the car." she said.

Napabuntong hininga si Tita Marfel bago ngumiti sa akin. Walang nagawa ang ginang kundi lumabas kasama ang anak na babae. Ngayon naiwan na naman akong mag-isa dito.

Tahip-tahip ang kaba kanina habang kaharap ang Ina ni Areson. She's kind. Hindi namana ni Aressia ang kabaitan ng kanilang Ina. Well, this is our first time meeting. May susunod pa naman at baka magbago ang impression sa akin ni Aressia. I just hope soon.

Naghintay nalang muna ako kay Areson sa sofa. Paminsan-minsang nagri-reply sa chat sa akin ni Berna. She's ranting because of her boyfriend I guess? Ba't naman magra-rant ang isang ito? Gibson Addams is filthy rich too! May lahi pa!

Ilang minuto ang meeting bago bumalik si Areson. Seryoso ang kanyang mukha ng lumapit sa akin at hinalikan ako sa labi. Napahinga ako. Nakita ng kanyang secretary ang kanyang ginawa.

"Lance, kindly reserve a seat at the Tower. My girlfriend and I will eat our lunch there." he commanded.

Agad na sumunod ang kanyang secretary. Ngumiti siya sa akin at muli akong hinalikan sa labi at pisnge. Sobrang clingy naman nito!
