My brows automatically furrow when i enter Misag's office. Imbes na ito ay babae ang naabutan ko doon. Naglilinis ito pero hindi basta linis iyon. Inilalagay nya ang mga gamit sa isang kahon.
"Ate anong meron?" Tanong ko.
Ngumiti ito sakin.
"Magreresign na si Sir Misag."
"Ano?" Pasigaw ang naging labas noon. Magpapasa sana ako ng proposal pero ito ang saslaubong sakin.
"Yes ma'am. Balita ko po ay kailangan si Sir Misag sa Young's. Babalik na po ang dating Marketing Director."
"Pero parang ang bilis--."
"Si sir Misag na lang po ang tanungin ninyo. Nasa rooftop po siya." Magalang na sabi nito.
My heart is hammering inside my chest. Is this about Boo? Pero bakit naman ako magiging dahilan ng pag alis nya. Para sa Young's nga daw e.
Halos liparin ko ang daan papuntang rooftop. Nakita ko sya doon na nakatingin sa city lights. Mukang malalim ang iniisip nya at napakalungkot ng mga mata nya.
Naramdaman ko ang pagsikdo ng puso ko. Ganoon pa rin, mas nasasaktan ako kapag nasasaktan sya.
"You're resigning?" Pukaw ko sa atensyon nya.
Tumingin sya sakin ngunit sandali lang. "Im needed at Young's."
"Kailangan bang bitawan mo ang Bright Minds?"
"Mamimiss mo ako?" Sa ibang pagkakataon ay baka nainis na ako. Pero walang bahid ng pang-aasar ang boses nya. It was pure sorrow. Hindi ko nagsalita. "Im done here."
"What do you mean?"
"I came here for you." Walang paliguy-ligoy na sabi nya. "Limang buwan na pero hindi ka pa rin bumabalik. I thought you're just finding yourself. But it seems like you forget about me in the process."
Tears cascade my eyes. I can feel his pain and agony in every words he says.
"You broke up with me. There i realize how much iloveyou and how much i've been selfish when it comes to you." His tears fell and my heart breaks even more. "Hindi ko sinabi sayo ang tungkol kay Serafina dahil ayaw kong isipin mo na mahal kita dahil sa nakikita ko sya sayo. Iloveyou Sari.. in my own little ways, i know iloveyou. But im not good in words and i guess that's the reason why you think that i never love you."
"I let you leave and break up with me. Because i realize, i've imprisson you and turn you to something that's not you. For the past five months i was missing you. It's killing me when i can just see you from far but i cant even touch you because im afraid i might hurt you again."
"I came to Bright Minds because i know you're here. Naisip ko, ano bang meron dito at hindi mo na ako binalikan? Are you even better without me? Have you moved on? And my questions have been answered. There's someone else."
Umiling ako. Gusto kong magpaliwanag pero hindi ako makapagsalita sa labis na emosyon.
Tinalikuran nya ako. "The celebration was postpone yesterday. It will be resume later at Young's Lounge." He said. "You should come. It's your team's success by the way."
Doon na ako umiyak ng umiyak. I hate him for letting me go. Not that i know, he's giving me space.
I go with my team at Young's Lounge. Bar iyon na ang mga Young din ng may ari. We settle ourselves at the VIP table and drink our Brandy as the live band starts to play. Madilim pa ang ilaw sa may Stage kaya hindi ko maaninaw ang banda.
Then the vocalist started to sing. I was stilled. That voice who can give me shivers and make my heart beats fast.
I hope to buys you flowers
I hope to hold your hand.
Should have gave you all my hours
When i had the chance.
Take you to every party 'cause all you wanted to do is dance.
My baby is dancing. But she's dancing with another man.
I can see him crying from the stage.
Nagbulung-bulungan ang mga kasama ko kung anong meron.
Umalis si Misag sa stage hindi pa man tapos ang kanta. Hindi na ako nakatiis at sinundan ko na sya.
I was crying vehemently. Naabutan ko sya sa parking lot. Niyakap ko sya mula sa likod.
"Misag please.." i whisper. I dont know where that please was for. Ang alam ko lang, gusto kong yakapin nya din ako.
Humarap sya sakin at niyakap ako.
"Why are you crying?"
"Because iloveyou and i want you back." I sob.
"Pero si Boo?" I can feel him gritting his teeth. Natawa ako. "He's my cousin! Libre kasing magtanong."
He push me a little and cup my face.
He look surprise.
"E bakit?"
"He's protective. Like how protective you are with Iya." Sabi ko.
"I cant believe it." He exclaimed.
Tumawa ako.
"Iloveyou."
He sigh.
"Im not in to words! But geez, iloveyoutoo." He said and kiss me.
