HILING: Kian Montenegro

Hiling-11

Rebecca/Cynthia's pov

"Hello madame Quijano, si Rosa po ito, tuloy ba ang meeting natin mamaya?" nakikinig lamang ako sa pagsasalita ni Rosa in the other line.

"Of course Rosa, I mean what I said," sagot ko sa kanya. "Why... are you going to back out?"

"No no no po... may bago akong hired, 'yun ang ibibigay ko sayo'."

"Ok, I'll see you later." sabi ko lang and I turned off the phone.

Hope siya na nga 'yung hinahanap ko.

Tumingin ako sa labas, nasa 23th floor ako ngayon. Kitang-kita ko ang buong Manila. Ang gulo ng mundo while I'm alone and quite here by myself.

I have money, yes I do. I own the Quijano's Garments Factory. I exports my products to Spain, France, Australia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and in China. Mula sa damit, jeans hanggang sa kaliit-liitang kasuotan ay meyron' kami. To be sure na original from us, just check out the edge of the product and there's a tiny star on it.

Marami kasing gumagaya.

Even though may pera ako, 'di ko pa rin mahanap ang totong ligaya. Part of my heart is placed with nothing.

I click my lighter, what for kung titigilan ko ang cigarette. I can't run away with that shit! I'm started to drink again. For short, I do what I want. Hindi ko na pinapakinggan ang lahat nang sinasabi sa akin ni Chris, wala namang mangyayaring miracle.

'Nung malaman ko, I increased the salary of my employees to 30%. Saan ko pa ba ipupunta ang pera ko? 

        My brother is staying now in Spain together with his family. Yes he do and he's totally contrary with mine. Masaya siya ako hindi. May narating na siya sa buhay unlike me, pinagpapatuloy ko lang ang legacy ng pamilya. May kasama siya  ako wala. Marami syang mga kaibigan, ako tanging mga staff ko lang ang nakakakilala sa akin. Im not an out-goer person, hindi rin ako umaattend sa kahit anong gatherings. Nandyan naman si Karen to take my place. Sadyang ayuko lang nang maingay at sa crowded places.

Isa lang ang pagkakapareho namin ni kuya. We both wealthy and powerful.

Siya na ngayon ang nagpapatakbo ng Ice Cream Factory ng kanyang asawa, ang Klircks de Ice Cream. Sa kanila rin ang Singko Locho Chocolate at ang ChocoYum na isa sa pinakasikat at mabentang chocolates sa Spain.

Kaya ipinaubaya na niya sa akin ang Q&G's namin dahil hindi na raw niya kaya. Q&G's ang trademark ng aming products, kaya if makikita mo 'yan. Its definitely my works

I have already everything, but one thing Im so much jealous of my kuya. He has family... while me, wala... nag-iisa. 'Diko alam if anong pumasok sa isipan ko. Just in a moment I want to have a family.

.... I want to feel to have someone to be cared,

.... to have a responsibility,

....to go home while someone's waiting for you,

.... to talk to if you can't sleep,

.... and to laugh with,

But one thing should be putted in our mind no love should be involved with.  Wala akong makita sa mga suitors ko, puro mayayabang at may interes sa pera ko. Better to pick-up someone who doesn't know me at all.

I know who he is, it's KIAN MONTENEGRO...

      I saw him once in a bar, he had two companions. I can't take off my eyes on him. Ewan, I just don't know  what's in him na hindi ko maalis-alis na ang paningin ko.

Naalala ko.

Im just sitting down in a corner which I could see all the people getting inside. Nakita ko siya, innocent yet so manly. Parang walang pakialam sa mundo. He love songs. He's listening to Kaye's 'till they take my heart away. Minsanan lang sa lalaki ang mahilig makinig sa mga love songs.. and I like it.

From that moment, inalam ko na ang buhay niya.  I can't eh, something's pushing me to know him better.

At ngayon isa na nga siyang callboy.

Nagulat ako nang tumunog ang phone ko.

"Yes?" hindi ko na inalam kong sino ang nasa kabilang linya.

"Miss Rebecca, may appointment po kayo with Atty. Sandoval, about sa..." si Karen pala.

"Karen, ikaw nang pumunta ok." nangingiti ako. Na-iimagine ko the way she speaks to me, wala naman akong ginagawa but she's still affected, so nervous. "Are you still there?"

"B-But Miss Rebecca, p-paano po if 'di masyado maganda ang offer niya?" I heard her chocking. "I-Its better na kayo na lang Miss..."

"No no no darling... Kaya mo 'yan, kapag umarte siya then make it quits, wala naman tayong produkto na nakadeliver na sa kanila right, magwithdraw ka..."

"Ho, ganun lang po?"

"Yes as you heard darling... and now turn off your phone na Karen," utos ko. "I need to do something ok."

"Opo, opo Miss Rebecca,"

Five thirty na ng hapon nang dumating ako sa Ratsky, may table na ako dun. Just for me only.

I chose to be simple. I let my hair hang down. Wear a white undershirt sando and black short. Then a barbie shoes. No make-up. I bring my key and wallet and used my yellow mustang car.
