He's Mr. Possessive

Chapter 4

"Lou, can you come here in my office?" tawag ni Kurt mula sa intercom.

"Yeah, sure." sabi ko saka tumayo. When I entered his office, pansin ko na busy ito sa mga papeles na nirereview nito.

"Kurt? Do you need anything?"agaw pansin ko dito. "Mukhang busy ka ah?"

Umangat naman ang ulo nito. "Di naman, just some paper works to finish before we fly to the Philippines. Take a seat?"

Umupo ako sa visitor's chair sa harap nito. "Ano ba yun?"

"Well, before anything else, I just wanted to ask kung okay lang ba talaga sayo na sumama sa Pilipinas? Much more, to see your ex-husband." His eyes are full mischief.

I smiled. "Yun lang ba ang dahilan kung bakit mo ako pinapunta dito, ang maki-usyoso?"

He laughed softly. "As your friend, concern din lang ako sayo so just answer the question."

I sighed. "It's fine. Nakausap ko na din si Mommy tungkol sa possibility na umuwi ako and she's excited about it. Nami-miss na daw nya ako. And..."

"And?"

"And Zeke called me last night."

"Woah! Ang bilis namang makasagap ng balita ng ex-husband mo."

Umiling ako. "He got it from Mom. Kilala ko si Mommy. She gets too talkative when she's excited."

Natawa ito. "So? What did he say?"

Tumaas ang kilay ko. "Seriously, Kurt? Tinawag mo ako para dito?"

He laughed. "Actually, meron akong ipapagawa sayo. Pero mamaya na yun. Come on. Magkwento ka na. I want to know the details!"he exclaimed.

It's my turn to laugh. "He just asked me if totoong uuwi ako ng Pilipinas. That's it."

Nawala ang kapogian nito when he rolled his eyes. Mukhang di nito kakagatin ang sinabi ko. Ganito talaga si Kurt lalo na pag may gustong malaman. He can become so persistent that he won't let me go unless he gets what he wants. "Ang damot mong magkwento. Pero pag ako, lahat sinasabi ko sayo. Come on. Tell me."may pagtatampong himig nito.

I smiled. "Okay, okay. Kinukunsensya mo pa ako." Humugot ako ng malalim na hinga. "First, nasabi ko na sa kanya na gusto nating makipag-deal sa kanila. He agreed. . . only if I can guarantee him that you're not courting me."

Biglang nanlaki ang mata nito"Who? Me?"tinuro pa nito ang sarili.

I nod. "But why?"takang tanong nito.

"He's a little possessive. He wants to get me back. At sa tingin ko, he thought na pinopormahan mo ako." I giggled.

Natutop nito ang bibig. "Oh my! You're husband is so nakakaloka. Pakisabi sa kanya na di kita type noh!"

Di ko napigilang tumawa sa sinabi nito. "Tone down will you? Baka may makarinig sayo, mabunyag pa ang lihim mo."

"Oh. I forgot. Ikaw kasi e."yamot na sagot nito

"Hala! Bakit ako?" I said smiling at him.

"Kasi naman, sana tinama mo ang iniisip ng ex mo noh. Mamaya masapak pa ako nun if he sees you with me. Sayang ang beauty ko noh."

I laughed. "It's not my story to tell, Kurt. Saka isa pa, I don't think he would do that. Pero para sa ikakapanatag ng loob mo, I told him that you're just my boss."

"Hay naku! Naloloka ako sayo. So, what will you do after you see him? As you've said, he wants you back. Makikipagbalikan ka ba?"

I sighed. "Actually, di ko pa din alam. When I left, masyadong magulo ang sitwasyon. Everything is a mess. His family. My dad. The company. Our marriage. Di ko alam kung tama na ba ang ilang taon kong pagkawala to heal all the wounds of the past. Baka mamya, hindi naman pala magiging maayos ang lahat. Umasa lang ako."
