The Crazy Villain

24

After meeting Isaac, I apologize to Delilah. I know I acted recklessly without thinking about what would happen. I just couldn't think straight in that moment because my feelings overwhelmed me.

Mabigat pa rin ang nararamdaman ko. Sinubukan kong umakto na parang wala lang ang lahat. Na parang walang nangyari sa araw na iyon. Hindi ko siya nakita nakikipag lambingan kay Charlotte sa harapan ko.

Ginawa ko ang trabaho ko bilang sekretarya ni Delilah. Palagi nila akong tinatanong kung ayos lang ba ako at ang laging sagot naman ay oo. Hindi rin ginugulo ni Crynn hindi kagaya noon. Lagi lang siyang nakatingin sa akin at binabantayan ang bawat galaw ko.

Kailanman ay hindi ko naramdaman ang ganitong klaseng sakit. Ngayon lang, at dahil kay Isaac.

They were right. He's not the Isaac I used to know. They had already warned me, and I should have listened. But I didn't because my heart said it's still him. Now both I and my heart are crying.

"I'll do the job alone. Shaira don't need to get involved with this. I'll get the information," sabi ni Delilah sa kapatid.

Kanina pa sila nagtatalo dahil sa nangyari noong nakaraan. Na ikwento kasi ni Delilah sa tatlo ang nangyari kaya ngayon ay gusto ni Delilah h'wag na akong ma-involve. I told her that I'm okay and I can do it but she don't believe me.

"But it's not safe if you're alone. What if it's true that he's helping his mother? What will you do if they try to kidnap you?" Noah said with irritation.

Delilah rolled her eyes. "E'di mas delikado kung dalawa kami ni Shaira ang maki-kidnap. And besides, Carolina have no reason to kidnap me because the power of Ven is not really inside of me!"

I sigh. "You two need to stop," I looked at both of them. "I'll do it. Masyado lang akong nadala ng damdamin ko pero hindi na ulit iyon mangyayari," seryosong sabi ko.

Dismayado naman napailing si Delilah at si Noah ay seryoso lang nakatingin sa akin. Tumingin ako kay Ven at Crynn na nanonood lang kanina pa.

"Any updates about Isaac and Carolina?" I inquired.

"Well, Crynn attempted to hack into Isaac's phone, and Carolina is seeking help from her son," Ven replied.

My brow furrowed. "What do you mean by 'trying'?" I pressed for clarification.

Ven hesitated briefly. "Isaac isn't responding to her. I'm not sure if he doesn't want to get involved with Carolina or if they're communicating through other means."

"Alright, we'll need to find out if he's in contact with her," I said, casting a glance at Delilah. "You could ask him to dinner, right?"

Delilah appeared taken aback by my suggestion, blinking twice before answering. "Y-Yeah."

"Good. You should reconnect with him," Crynn advised, directing her gaze towards me.

"But are you sure about this?" Delilah questioned me.

I paused, contemplating their concerns. After a moment, I smiled reassuringly and nodded in agreement.

Inabala ang sarili ko sa trabaho ko. Unti-unti kong natutuhan ang bagay na ginawa ng isang sekretarya. Mababait ang mga empleyado at ang iba ay naging kaibigan ko pa. Nakakapagod pala ang ganitong trabaho, kaya pala sa bar ako bumagsak dahil hindi ko kakayanin ang ganitong trabaho.

Masaya naman at nasubukan ko gumawa ng ibang bagay. Minsan pa nga ay excited akong pumasok sa trabaho at lagi ako ang gumigising kay Delilah. Pilit kong kinakalimutan ang lahat at tagumpay naman ako pero hindi ko pa rin maiwasan 'wag isipin ang halikan nilang dalawa.
