I'm letting you go...

Meet his girl Part 2

Hi guys! It's been a long time :)

I miss writing :D nakaka-stress sa work, so here I am :)

Bahagyang pinaikot ni Andrea ang kanyang swivel chair kasabay ng paghigop sa kanyang dala-dalang mango shake sa kanina pa niya sinisipsip. Nakatutok ang kanyang mga mata sa kanyang monitor na animo'y may mahalagang binabasa ngunit nakapatay naman iyon.

Its been a week since that thing happened between her and Paul. At hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa nila iyon napag-uusapan sa sobrang busy ng kanyang asawa. Este, asawa? Asawa ba talaga nya? Is that what makes her feel so uncomfortable?

Napapikit ito ng maalala ang nangyari. Did he even told her he loves her?

"I want you..." That's it, want at hindi love. It proves that it was just pure lust and nothing more than that. Ito ang paulit-ulit niyang sinasabi sa kanyang sarili.

She decided to get-up and just go home early. She needs to rest and visit her dad, ito ang lagi niyang rason sa kay Paul sa loob ng isang lingo. In short, isang lingo na itong sa kanilang mansyon tumutuloy at natutulog. And obviously, he's aware that she's avoiding him.

"Oh, crap. I miss him. Why can't he even find time to talk to me? W-wait! What? Miss him?"

Sinipat nito ang kanyang wrist watch. It's exactly 4pm in the afternoon. At siguradong nasa meeting pa si Paul.

"Umuuwi paba ang lokong yun? tsk!"

She can't decide if it would be right to just go home and feel as if nothing happened.

"Bahala sya, I won't do the first move! Never."

She grabbed her bag and walked towards the door of her office. She was about to reach the elevator when suddenly her phone rang. Agand niya iyong kinuha mula sa loob ng kanyang bag. Kumunot ang noo nito ng makitang number lang iyon at hindi registered sa kanyang mobile.

Baka naman nagpalit na ng number ang kanyang torpeng asawa na ayaw makipag-usap sa kanya. Wait- torpe? After what happened between them?

Ok, scrap that! Answer the phone! Sigaw ng kanyang isip sabay receive ng call.

"Hello? Who's this?" Sagot niya sa telepono.

"Hi, may I talk to you for a moment? Or, should I ask first for an appointment?"

Babae, babae ang tumatawag mula sa kabilang linya. Pakiramdam ni Andrea ay nagsitayuan ang kanyang mga balahibo sa katawan sa hindi niya malamang dahilan. Napalunok ito bago muling nagsalita.

"No, there's no need for that. Hindi naman ako ganun kabusy. Who is this anyway?"

Sinikap nitong magpaka-polite kahit kanina pa naka-arko ang kanyang mga kilay. Sino ba itong babaeng ito na akala mo kung sinong hihingi pa ng appointment? She maybe kind, but no one would want to mess with a Montemayor like her.

"It's ANNIE" Ngunit napamaang ito ng mapagtanto kung sino ang kausap.

She can't breath, it feels like she's going to melt any time. Paano niya maatim harapin ang babaeng totoong mahal ng peke niyang asawa? One time she saw them hugging each other sa kumbento palapit sa art gallery, one time she had herself crying because of that, and one night she found herself lying in bed with that guy. Isn't it too unfair? Hindi ba't siya pa dapat ang magmakaawa sa babae and ask her forgiveness for bringing too much hurt to their relationship just because of her wanting to gain all her inheritance from her father?
