Epilogue

Trojan

"MAY I have a word with you, Trojan?"

Napaangat ang tingin ko mula sa mga report na binabasa ko nang bigla kong marinig ang boses ni Eros na ngayon ay nakatayo na sa harapan ng mesa ko.

"Haven't I told my wife that I didn't want to see you're fucking face inside my office today?"

"I hate seeing your bastard face as well so don't worry," he said disregarding my obvious annoyance on his entrance. "And that annoying woman was not your wife. You haven't married yet right? So I still have the chance to win the bet that you will drop that woman after she deliver your child."

"What bet?"

Yes. Eila and I decided that we'll get married after our child was born. But I don't have any ill intention to leave her after because I fucking love her!

And yes. Eila continues to work as my secretary 'cause she's annoying and definitely want to follow what she wants even if I disagreed.

"None of your business," sabi niya saka siya may inilapag na folder na harapan ko.

"Ano 'to?'

"Why don't you read so you'll know what this is?"

Inis kong tinapunan ng tingin si Eros saka binuksan ang folder na dinala niya at binasa ang laman noon.

"What the fuck is this?!" I cried.

"It's the real report of this company's sales," he said plainly. "I fake the documents. TME didn't suffer from any bankruptcy."

"You damn bastard!" malakas at galit na galit na sabi ko matapos itapos sa mukha niya 'yung dala niya. "You fooled me?!"

"Gusto lang kita gisingin sa kahibangan mo sa babae na iyon," bale-walang sabi niya saka inihagis pabalik sa mesa ko ang mga papel na dala niya. "But I was too late. You're too love struck with that woman."

"Bullshit! Get out!"

"Trojan ano bang sinisigaw—"

Napansin ko sa gilid ng mata ko ang biglang pagpasok ni Eila sa opisina ko pero hindi ko muna siya pinansin dahil hindi ko maalis ang tingin ko sa sira-ulong Eros Mondragon na 'to.

"I did that to save your ass, moron," sagot niya sa akin saka sandaling nilingon si Eila bago niya binalik ang tingin sa akin. "I know you my whole life, Trojan. Man like us don't do relationships that why I want to see if you really like this woman and if she can reciprocate the same even without your wealth."

"Pinapalabas mo ba na niloko mo kaming dalawa ni Eila?!"

"You should be grateful if you'll asked me. At least you know that this annoyingly rude woman still want to be with you even if your penniless."

"But Eila almost leave me because of your bullshits!"

"But all things ends well still right?"

"And how about Elisha? Her ten million? Was that almost for your fucking show?"

"That's your money. Elisha didn't released any single money for you and this company."

Mariin akong napapikit habang kinakalma ang sarili ko.

"Just get out before I'll kill you," I said with full remorse. "Now."

Hindi na nagsalita si Eros na sobrang pinagpapasalamat ko dahil kapag nagsalita pa siya kahit isang salita lang ay talagang mapapatay ko na siya.

He messed my relationship with Eila. And now he's acting like it's no big deal.

"No offense," muli akong napatingin kay Eros na ngayon ay nasa harapan na ni Eila. "I still don't like you. But I can finally welcome you to our family without thinking the worst about you and being a gold digger bitch. And take care of that fool. He's too in love with you that he's willing to lose everything he's been working hard for all his life."

Sabay naming pinanood ni Eila ang pagsara ng pinto ng opisina ko hanggang sa tuluyan nang nawala sa harapn ko si Eros.

"That bastard!"

Naramdaman ko sa likod ko si Eila hanggang sa ipatong niya ang mga kamay niya sa balikat ko at marahang masahihin iyon.

"Nag-aalala lang sa'yo si Eros. Hindi man malinaw sa akin ang simula ng pagtatalo n'yo pero nararamdaman ko na gusto ka lang niya protektahan mula sa akin."

"I'm not his son and I'm too old for his shit protection!"

Huminto sa pagmamasahe sa balikat ko si Eila saka ako tumingala para makita ang mukha niya at nakita ko siya na nakangiti sa pinto na nilabasan ni Eros.

"Kahit na alam ko na hindi na kami magkakasundo, nagpapasalamat pa rin ako sa panlolokong ginawa niya sa atin."

"And why?" I asked with forehead ceased.

Eila look down to see my curious reaction before she smiles at me.

"Kasi nang dahil sa ginawa niya, doon ko napatunayan kung gaano mo ako kamahal. Nang dahil sa kanya, napilit ka niya na pakasalan ako."

I smile a little to what she said.

"But I've been loving you all this time."

"Pero kailan ko lang nalaman iyon at nasiguro."

"Because you didn't trust me enough."

Umiling siya sa sinabi ko. "Hindi sa ganoon. Dahil sa hindi mo direktang sinasabi sa akin na mahal mo ko."

"You got my attention the first time you enter this room."

"Magkaiba ang atensyon sa pagmamahal, Trojan."

"But it's the same for me," I said. "Loving you at first sight is also the same with loving you today and for the next years of our lives. My attraction for you will never change, Misis Mondragon."

"Attraction and love is also—"

Hindi ko na siya pinatapos sa mga sasabihin niya nang bigla ko na lang hilain ang batok niya para mahalikan ang labi niya sa ganitong posisyon.

"I love you. Are we clear now?"

I saw her slowly smile at me again before she nods.

"All clear, Sir Trojan."
