Chapter Twenty Five: AZALEIA

THIRD PERSON POV

MANILA HOTEL

"Grrr... I'm late!"

Agad syang tumakbo papunta sa elevator ng hotel habang inaayos pa ang heels nito. She tried to wake up early pero masyadong napasarap ang tulog nya because of a party last night.

Hindi naman talaga sya dapat sa hotel tutuloy if it wasn't for his Dad. Ayaw kasi nito na magboard sya sa school, being their only child, over protective ito sa kanya.

Good thing nga at napapayag nya ang dad nya na pag-aralin sya sa Wimbledon University. It took her a lot of effort para magawa iyon kaya from England agad syang bumalik sa Pilipinas. Three days pa syang nagstay sa hotel para iprocess ang application nya sa W.U. at kahapon nga lang ito natapos.

"Wait! Wait! I said you fucking stop that!"

Patuloy nyang sigaw sa elevator na papasara na, nakita pa nya ang lalaki na sakay nito na nakapolo at may nakapatong na suite at pants na pipigilan sanang sumara ito pero nangmakita sya ay hinayaan lang itong sumara.

"Ouch!"

Napatingin sya sa paa nya, naputol lang naman ang heels ng isa sa pinakamahal nyang sapatos and worst, nakatingin lang sa kanya ang lalaki at before tuluyang sumara ang pintuan ng elevator, nakita pa nyang nagsmirk ito sa kanya.

"What a jerk"

It took her another more minutes' bago nakasakay ng elevator at makababa. Nakita pa nya ang lalaki sa may pintuan na ipinagbukas ng pinto ang isa sa mga guest ng hotel.

Napataas lang sya ng kilay. Sinaraduhan sya nito ng elevator then pag dating sa ibang babae, akala mo kung sinong gentleman. At mas lalong napataas pa ang kilay nya ng maalala kung sino ito, the same guy that insult her sa airport. (Ref. Chapter 21)

"Hey girl, where the hell are you? I'm waiting here in Wimbledon for almost two hours"

She was walking towards her car ng biglang tumawag ang bestfriend nya. Binuksan nya nag pintuan ng car at sumakay. Kinuha nya ang isang maliit na bag sa likod and she change her shoes.

"I'm on my way"

"Still at your hotel, Azaleia"

Napairap sya, of course kilalang-kilala na sya ng bestfriend nya. Kung di lang sya nalate ng gising at kung wala lang yung jerk na yun, dapat kanina pa sya nakaalis.

"You know it"

There's only one reason lang naman kaya sya naandito sa Pilipinas, to get what she believe is hers at kahit ano pa yan, siguradong makukuha nya ito. Walang bagay na hindi nakukuha ang isang Azaleia Fatima Sy.

"Why don't you just stay here in Wimbledon? You know it's a boarding school and it would be better if you just stay here"

"As much as I want to, Dad won't let me. He only agrees on me studying there but not living at W.U."

Nagdrive na sya paalis sa hotel still holding her phone, dapat siguro nagpahatid na lang sya sa driver nila. She was so excited to see him but look what happen?

"Oh yeah, my only beloved child"

"Stop mimicking him, Tiffa. You are giving me goose bumps" and she take the left turn. Kanina pa sya naiinis at ginagatungan pa ito ng bestfriend nya. "If it wasn't for him, I won't be here"

Yeah... he is the only reason kaya sya bumalik ng Pilipinas. She left him while they were still young because of her father's business and still, hindi parin nagbabago ang nararamdaman nya, she's in love with him, more and deeply.
