Devil Beside Me[ON-EDIT]

DBM 36

Lyza's POV

Siguro nga kailangan kong harapin ang tinakbuhan ko.Pero sa ibang paraan. Di na ako ang babaeng nakilala nila five years ago.

Kailangan ko na tapusin ang namamagitan samin dahil habang kasal ako patuloy akong matatali sakanya. Gusto ko ng maging malaya.

"Waaaa.... Ice finally nakita na kita ng personal. " isang fan ko nagsabi. Nasa fan signing event ako ngayon sa mall ang dami nilang pumunta.

"Salamat " nakipag kamay ako then i start signing their CDs.

Nasa tabi ko si Jane assisting me. She is now my manager sumunod sya sakin sa US para daw may kasama ako.

Ilang oras din tumagal ang fan signing at marami ring nagpa picture.

"Thank you everyone. Please support me all the way. Kitakits until the next event lets hang out. Alright? " sabi ko giving them my warm smile.

Nagsigawan naman sila like a crazy fan. I dismiss myself masakit na ang kamay at balikat ko.

"Jane lets go. " bumalik kame ng kotse.

"Ahm.. Ice gusto makipag kita sayo ni Henry sa lobby ng hotel. "

"Okey." i said then i rested myself in the car.

"Then tomorrow you will be having a meeting with the President of K.W company. " paalala nya.

"Whole day yun okey. " i sigh then lumabas na kame ng kotse pagakarating namin sa parking lot ng hotel.

"Mauna kana sa taas Jane. Prepare my bath. Salamat. "

Nakita ko si Henry naghihintay sa lobby i wave at him ngumiti ito.

I kiss his cheek then i sat across him. "H-henry. tungkol kagabi. " gusto kong magpaliwanag sakanya.

"Lyza... I understand that your confuse right now. "Simula nito then he sigh.

"Babalik ako ng State bukas i have work. I'm giving you conditions Ice. " seryoso nito.

"What? "

"If you follow me on state then you chose me. But if you choose to stay after your work then you chose your past. And expect that you wont see me again." saad nito.

And give me a shock. i bit my lips as i look down. "Why are you doing this to me Henry. You are very special to me. " bulong ko.

"I'm sorry Ice. Believee i don't want to do this but i want to know kung sino ang mas matimbang. Para di kana maconfuse you need to choose. " inabot nito ang kamay ko at hinawakan ng mahigpit.

"I don't want to loose you Henry. You are a part of my life now. "naiiyak kong sabi.

He sigh as he embraces me warmly. "I'm sorry. You need to be sure of your feelings and this is the only way. "

Niyakap ko sya ng mahigpit as i close my eyes. "I will try. "

Kumalas ito ng pagyakap then kiss my forehead. "Goodbye now Ice. always take care. "

"H-henry... "The only word i uttered then he left me.
I sob in between watching him walk away. Napatakbo ako agad sa elevator papunta sa suite ko. This is another pain i don't want to feel again.

I wipe my tears then i sigh. I'm crying for the same reason again. The pain,hate and guilt is there again. Why am I always crying bat ang babaw ko kainis!!!

someone's POV

"Jane anong oras ba darating ang president? " tanong nito its been 30 minutes kanina pa ito naghihintay sa conference room.

"Saglit na lang. "

she was wearing her shade medyo mugto ang mata nito. the door open dalawang lalake ang pumasok naka formal suite ito.

"Good morning, sorry to keep you waiting. " sabi ng lalake.

Naupo ito sakabila ng upuan "its okey i presume your the boss? " wika ni Jane.

"Ah no.. the president is still in the meeting. So here is the things that you will be aware of, we already set the schedules of photoshoots and everything within a week. "

They discuss everything nakinig lang sila "Is that all then we will go now. "

"Maaari bang mahintay pa kayo ng ilang saglit " the man politely requested.

aakmang tatayo na ito ng bumukas ulit ang pinto two men went inside ngunit ilang sandali pa may nagsalita na.

"You may leave now. " a husky familiar voice said gesturing the two men to leave. They followed their boss and left.

"Oh! hello there Jane. " bati ni Renzo.

"Wait. kayo ang boss ? "

"Yes, actually si Darren lang " claro nya.

Napatingin si Jane kay Darren at Lyza with disbelief. Ngayon nya lang napagtanto that they were in trouble.

"Jane would you mind if we have a short coffee break sa labas may itatanong ako "

"No thanks. I think we need to leave" tanggi nito.

"Its okey Jane go with him " Lyza interfered.

Jane sigh nang umalis silang dalawa ni Renzo. Then the two were left inside.

Naupo ito sa tabi ni Lyza. Hindi nila alam kung sino ang magsisimula.

"H-how are you? its been a long time." he said.

"I'm good " sabay alis ng shade nito and she look at Darren.

"About what happened I'm very sorry. " puno ito ng pagsisi sinubakan niyang abutin ang kamay nito but she refuse to ng bawiin niya ang kamay niya.

"It's not the same anymore. What is done its done. Can we not go back anymore. " she coldly uttered.

"If you only know how much i suffered when you left me. Its like a nightmare. "

"Bakit ikaw ba alam mo kung ano ang pinagdaanan ko. Don't talked as if you were the only one who got affected here for once, Don't be too selfish. " she rebut

"I know i was selfish. " he slowly said napayuko ito "Please come back to me now. I've been missing you so badly Hon. " tumingin ito sa mga mata nya.

She look back nothing but hatred. "Hon.. it sounds funny and pathetic Darren. It's not that easy yung sasabihin mo lang na namimiss mo ko and you want me back?  " she exclaim puno parin ng hinanakit ito.

"What do you want me to do?? You know me Lyza i maybe ruthless but you know i'm faithful to you. I swear to you no woman i have ever love except for you. " he captured her hands at hawakan ito pleading.

"Darren our time already passed. and its time to end it. I want to live freely without worrying that i have a husband. I am filing an annulment. " The last word struck in the head of the Darren. Napahinto ito saglit

"A-annulment. Lyza don't joke like that. Kaya pa natin ayusin to please? " pagmamakaawa nito ng hawakan nito ang mga pisngi nya.

"I'm not joking. I want an annulment. Someone is waiting for me. tatapusin ko lang ang project dito"

"No....no...no Lyza hindi ako papayag your my wife i can prove to you na nagbago na ako. Just give me a chance. " he was caressing her face at umiwas ito at tumayo.

"That's final Darren." tumalikod na ito para lumabas.

He was hopeless and scared. Maghihiwalay sila yun lamang ang pumapasok sa utak ni Darren.
