Her Bitchy Ways

CHAPTER 20

"Myka what's my appointment this saturady?" tinawag ko si Myka gamit ang intercom. Naghahanda na kasi ako para umalis at umuwi.

I checked my bag if I forgot something else. At mukha naman na kumpleto na ang laman ng bag ko.

"Lunch meeting with Mr. and Mrs. Tan. At restaurant Grand. And you should be there at exactly 11 am. You know they hate waiting at...". Pinutol nya ang kanyang sinabi para pumasok sa opisina ko. She look at me straight in the eye.

"At ano Myka? Please be fast. " Inaayos ko na ang mga papeles na dadalhin ko. Ayoko naming iwan na lang ang mga yan ditto na nakatambak." Ayokong abutan ng traffic ng EDSA at may project pa akong dapat na gawin at tapusin." I rolled my eyes before I look at her. Bitbit ko na sa kanang kamay ko ang mga papeles na dadalhin ko at sukbit- sukbit ko naman sa kaliwa ang bag ko.

"

You sure about that Meg? As what I had heard napaka- sensitive ni Mrs. Tan at masyadong mataas ang expectations niya." I know she's worried dahil hindi basta- basta ang mag- asawa. Pero sa tingin ba niya ay magpapatalo ako sa mga yun?

"I know Myka. Sa tingin mob a magse- set ako ng meeting sa kanila if I don't know who really they are? Pina- imbestigahan ko sila sa isang napakagaling na private investigator." Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. She thinks I don't have a plan. Well I think she really underestimate me. Hindi lahat ng mayayaman ay kaya nilang itago ang kanilang mga baho. That little dirty secrets. Tsk! Tsk!

I know Meg, alam kung may mga plano ka." She look at me and I can sense some strange feeling on her. "Pero Mr. Tan is known for being a playboy. Even though nasa harap lang ang asawa niya." Napa- buntong hininga siya ng wala sa oras.

"Don't worry I can handle myself." I passed on her. Nagmamadali na kasi akong umalis dahil kapag nagpabagal- bagal ako ay abutan ako ng traffic sa daan. Nagsisimula pa nm an na umambon.

"P-pero Megan." Pinigilan nya ako ng hawakan niya ang kamay ko.

Tinignan ko lang ang kamay niya. I kinow she's worried about me. But I really need to do this. I need to close the deal with Mr. Tan.

"No Myka." Hinawi ko ang kamay niya. "I need to do this, to prove something to my mom. After that I just left her. Di ko naman sya kailangan na ihatid. Dahil may susundo na sa kanya.

There's a rain that is started to get heavy and I need to keep going.

I'm already on my way to my condo. Glad that traffic is not present on my way home. I just turn on the radio and a familiar song is playing.

♫♫Staring at two different views on your window ledge

Coffee has gone cold, it's like time froze
There you go wishing, floating down our wishing well
It's like I'm always causing problems, causing hell
I didn't mean to put you through this, I can tell
We're gonna sweep this under the carpet

I hope that I can turn back the time
To make it all alright, all alright for us
I'll promise to build a new world for us two
With you in the middle♫♫

"You in the middle. Ah..." I sag the song like I'm a professional singer. Confident with every words I sing.

When was the last time I sing like this? We'll maybe when I was in Chicago back then.

♫♫Lying down beside you. What's going through your head?
The silence in the air felt like my soul froze
Am I just overthinking feelings I conceal
This gut feeling I'm tryna get off me as well
I hope we find our missing pieces and just chill
We're gonna sweep it under the carpet

I hope that I can turn back the time
To make it all alright, all alright for us
I'll promise to build a new world for us two
With you in the middle

(you in the middle)
(you in the middle)
(with you)
(you)

(thank the children)
(just thank the children)
(you)
(thank the children)
(just thank the children) ♫♫

I HOPE MOMENTS LIKE THIS WON'T END. BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE HEAVEN. MY STRESS RELIEVER WHEN I WAS IN CHICAGO. AWAY FROM ANY PROBLEMS I WAS THERE. AWAY FROM A TRAGEDY THAT CHANGE MY LIFE. BIG TIME!
