ENDLESS JOURNEY OF LOVE

CHAPTER 19

Christian's

"IPALIWANAG MO SAKIN TONG' LISTED CALL LOGS NG CELLPHONE KO 6 YEARS AGO NOONG ARAW AT ORAS NG INAUGURATION CEREMONY NI ALMIRA!!"

Naglalakihang mata niya tiningnan ang papel.

"And what's worst is yung sinagot mo yung tawag for 11 seconds." I said in a gritted teeth. "ANO SINABI NIYA SAYO?"

Padabog siyang tumayo at saka niya pinunit sa kalahati yung papel. What the!

"Gusto mong malaman kung anong huli niyang sinabi sakin?" she proudly said. "To tell you na hindi ka na daw niya mahal and she totally forget about you. I didn't know na after ng tawag na yun, magpapakama--"

"You really think I would believe that? I've had enough. If ever that you are somehow responsible for her death since alam kong kaya mong gumawa ng ganung bagay, I will instantly divorce Albea and drop my position to the Emilia!" I warned at saka ko sila tinalikuran.

Dire-diretso akong umakyat sa kwarto ko only to discover na may baby crib sa sulok. Kunot-noo ko yun tiningnan at saka siya nilapitan. I saw a baby boy na mahimbing natutulog. Don't tell me..

"He's adorable, right?"

Napalingon ako at nakita ko si Albea nang nakangiti. I forcely smile back. "Yeah." I commented. "Bakit nagadopt ka ng walang pasabi? Kakautos ko lang sa secretary ko."

"No need. Ayokong makuha pa ng iba ang batang to'." she said at saka siya naglakad papalapit sa crib. "I already name him."

"Ano?"

She look at me straight in my eyes. "Sky."

"Sky?"

"Sky Largado." she said and flash his smile.

Napatingin agad ako sa bata. Hindi ko alam kung paano i-express to' pero...

"What a unique name."

After 2 days...

"Sir, naipadeliver ko na po yung susuotin niyo sa Welcome Formal Party. I was informed that everyone is required to wear a mask for the sake of Ray."

"Okay." I said at saka ko binaba yung telepono.

Binalik ko yung atensyon ko sa laptop. Isa-isa kong chineck ang e-mails ko at mukhang wala namang bago. Binuksan ko ang box na nasa tabi which is ang mga finished product ng first design ng ilalaunch namin sa New Season Sale. It's quite perfect. Hindi ko talaga maipagkakaila ang creativeness ng Design Department ko. Napaisip ako. Gaano kaya kaganda magdesign si Veronica?

Bigla akong nakarinig ng katok kaya tinabi ko yung design sa kahon at saka nilagay sa ilalim. Nagulat ako nang dire-diretso pumasok si Elorna. Hindi ko talaga makakalimutan ang pangalan ng babae na napakacalculative magsalita.

Dire-diretso siyang umupo at saka niya binigyan ng ngiti. "It's rude to just watch your visitor."

"And it's also rude to just barge in."

"Kumatok ako, Mr. Largado. Umupo ka na dito. I have something to discuss with you."

Napakunot ang noo ko at saka ako tumayo. Naglakad ako papalapit sa kanya at saka ako umupo sa couch na nasa tapat lang niya. "From the way you talk and smile, are you scammer?"

She burst out a small laugh. "Do you want evidence that I'm really Ray's female proxy?"

I gave her a slight look. Kinuha niya ang phone niya at saka may dinial. Nilapag niya yung phone niya sa lamesa at saka ako binigyan ng ngiti.

"Elorna, napatawag ka?"

"Mr. Eljon, it seems like the president of Emilia doesn't trust me. Would it be better if we stop the investing?"
