Being Her [On-going]

CHAPTER 36

THIRD POV

"Done?" The tall young lady asked, gazing at the enchanting sky scenery in front of her.

Kasalukuyan silang nasa rooftop. Nakatanaw sa maitim na kalangitan na puno ng nagniningning na bituin at ang maliwanag na buwan.

"Finish and tidy." Her assisstant replied with a smirk. She nodded, satisfied.

"By the way, what about the rumor, Madam?" Her assisstant's face distorted upon bringing up the topic. While the Madam was still calm.

"It will die soon. No need to exhaust yourself. You may now leave." Her Madam calmly stated with her back facing her assisstant, Elle.

Elle nodded and left, leaving the gorgeous woman behind. Standing infront of the rails, lost in her thoughts. Her flowing raven black hair, dancing in rhythmn with the wind.

Tahimik lang ang buong paligid ng biglang tumunog ang telepono ng dalaga. Sinagot niya ang tawag ng hindi man lang tumitingin sa pangalan ng caller.

"Hello?" She asked, in a soft fake voice. Probably cursing the caller in her mind for breaking the serenity of the place.

Walang sumagot mula sa kabilang linya kaya nagtaka ang dalaga. Hindi siya pamilyar sa numero ng caller kaya't napapa-isip siya kung sino ito.

"Sister-in-law." Her forehead ceased upon hearing the caller's indifferent tone. The playful and energetic tone was nowhere to be found. It was only a voice full of authority and seriousness.

Did something bad happened? The woman asked in her thoughts.

"Who is this?" She calmly asked despite her confusion and irritation at the same time.

"Your husband's older brother. Why? Is there any other man aside from me who calls you sister-in-law?" He sarcastically replied.

"Husband? Brother? What? I can't understand, what do you mean?" She supressed herself from cussing when the sound of a sarcastic laugh cane from the other line.

"Ha! You don't even remember us. Nevermind, have you heard of the rumors spreading about you?" The woman sighed, then hummed.

"Is it true?" The other line anticipated for an answer but all he heard was her chuckle.

"I can't remember anything about my life. How could I even understand that rumor?" She stated. The other line went silent for a minute before he spoke again.

"Do you know that you had a husband?" The other line questioned. Hindi agad nakasagot ang dalaga. Nag-iisip sa kung anong magandang sagot sa tanong na iyon.

"W-what?" She finally stutters in confusion. The man chuckled in response.

"I guess you don't. Seems like no one told yo---". Hindi pa man natatapos sa sasabihin ang lalaki ng magsalita na si Ravenese.

"Actually, you're right, no one told me but I already had a hunch when I was reading some articles about me." She finally revealed. Saglit na katahimikan ang namutawi.

"Meet with me tonight. I'll pick you up. By the way, this is Asher Whitlock." The man stated before hanging up.

Sa kabilang banda, naiinis at nagtatakang ibinulsa ni Ravenese ang kanyang telepono. Bumuntong hininga siya bago saglit na tumingin sa kalangitan.
