A LOVE THAT STARTED IN MY BOSS' OFFICE

CHAPTER 26

Fere's POV

Isang desisyon ang pikit mata kong ginawa. I don't know how to fight anymore so I choose the worst option. Now my guilt is eating me. I've been having hard time to sleep. I've been idling a lot. I've lost appetite. I've been losing my light slowly.

Yuseff asked me to leave the office because I've been committing a lot of mistakes lately. I also have been sickly and pale. He said it's for my own good but I doubt it. After what I did, Yuseff suddenly find time to be with me. Just 2 days ago, we went to visit Mama. He even make it home before dinner time.

Even my guilt keeps knocking me, I felt a little happiness I've lost when Kristina came. I suppose that Anthony made his part of the deal. I don't know but losing Kristina on our way made me happy and contented with Yuseff.

Ofcourse when your atfault happiness would never be complete. Kahit na ba bumalik ang warmth at sweetness ng asawa ko, hindi mawawala ang guilt sa puso ko. Hindi ko alam kung hanggang kailan ko maitatago ito, I just hope to have a longer time with him.

It's past 12 midnight at wala pa ang asawa ko. Sobrang tagal na nung huli syang umuwi ng ganito. We are so okay kaya nagtataka ako. I keep on calling his phone. 40?45? 50 missed calls? I lost count but I keep on trying until someone answered his phone.

Fere: Hello? Hubby?

Other Line: Hello Ma'am? This is PO4 Nelson Sarmiento, kayo po ba ang asawa ni Mr. Yuseff Gabriel Hernandez?

Fere: Yes, Sir. Ano pong nangyari sa asawa ko?

Police: He's okay Ma'am, but he's a bit drunk. Can you please tell us your address, we'll send him in your house. Or if you're in doubt, pwede po tayong magkita sa Precinct 16 Ma'am.

Fere: Sige po, susunduin ko na lang po sya sa presinto. Salamat po Sir.

And I hurriedly drive off to the precinct. Good thing, I found Mateo on that precinct. He even helped me bring home my husband.

"Mateo, thank you talaga ha? Hindi ko alam ang gagawin kung wala ka dun." Sabi ko kay Mateo ng maiakyat na namin si Yuseff

"Walang problema. Just ask him to not do this again. Kundi baka makulong na sya." Mateo reminded

"Salamat talaga ng madaming madami."

"No problem. I'll go ahead na ha? You take care."

"Sige, salamat. Ingat ka din."

Pinuntahan ko na ang asawa ko sa kwarto.

"Hub, anong problema? Please let me know."

I sleep with a very heavy heart knowing my husband's having a hardtime and i'm making it heavier for him.

Yuseff's POV

Making my wife stay at home made me at peace but worrisome. I decided to make her quit on being my secretary because the job requires a lot. Now, I'm at peace she won't be able to know the problems I'm having. She won't be able to see how tired I'm am everyday while trying to resolve everything but making her home all day, make me so worry because I don't know what is running on her pretty head. She's been very sickly lately. She even forget things and she's idling a lot. She's so pale and have no energy at all.

2 of Jamaica's Bar have been involved in the issue involving drugs. 3 of my bartenders are charged with drug assaults. And I need to attend hearings to make the bar still running.

Jamaica's bars are 5 star rated bars and cases that involves drugs will be ruining the name. Jamaica's is Patricia's business under our corporation and I don't want to fail her. So I'm striving hard to keep it for her. It's been weeks but the case is still on-going.

It's lunch time, but I have no appetite to eat. I decided to close my eyes and find my peace. I am now a man full of problem. I have problem with our bars, I have problem with my family, I haven't told my wife that I had a son yet. I wanted to, but everytime I try, I would see how hurt she'll be. The last time my wife get berserk upon knowing who Kristina is and I know she'd be so ballistic if she knew we had a son. What should I do with my life now?

But that same afternoon, one report had made my world shatter into pieces. My lawyer received the copy of deed of sale of my mom's restaurant. I was so shocked I don't know what happened.  My head seems to be bery heavy. And that same after noon I did everything to find out how the hell this happened!

I'm very careful with the documents and I'm very sure I haven't sign any to make this deed of sale possible. It's very very inpossible but the document in my hand shows my real signature. Impossible yet it happened. Arggg, another problem came. I decided to ask great PIs to investigate what happened.

This whole day, I did nothing but to investigate and think how can this be possible. I could kill right now. I am sooo pissed I want to knock off everyone. I don't want to see anyone yet nor hear anything. I just wanted to out all my frustrations for today.

My office a mess. I've been throwing things. And all of this is shit. All my life, this is the worst failure I ever had. After years and years of training, is this what I deserve??

I don't know who to blame now. I am lost. Now that I have a problem, I don't know where can I run into. I don't have friends. I don't have brothers. I pity myself because as much as I would want to let my burdens out, I can't because there's no one who'll hear me out.

I went to the bar and make sure I'll be wasted tonight. They say my problem would suddenly disappear now, let's fucking try this.
