Ika-25 Dahilan

"She's already inside." bungad sa akin ni Bianca pagsalubong niya sa akin sa private elevator.

"Thank you, B." sagot ko kay Bianca at sabay na kaming pumasok sa opisina niya.

"You!?" sigaw na tanong sa akin ni Sam.

"Yes, me. Sam. How have you been chasing my wife all this time?" sarcastic kong tanong.

"You bi.tch!" sigaw niya kaya derederetso ko siyang nilapitan at sinampal. Natigilan siya at hindi agad nakabawi.  Saka ako naglakad muli at dumistansya sa kanya.

"You're in my territory. If you want to get out here alive I suggest you behave or you'll lose your company and your head."

"You're my Dad's investor?" takang tanong niya.

"Surprised?" tanong kong naka crossed arm. Ang tagal ko tong pinag aralan, para masigurado kong walang ibang pagpipilian si Sam. Pinadala siya ng ama niya para makilala ako, pero matagal na akong nakikipag transact sa ama niya kaya paroon at parito ako sa US although most of the meetings ay through my representatives lalo na pag alam kong andon si Sam.

"How come? How did you? So that's why you've been missing all this time? sunod sunod niyang tanong.

"Look here Sam. I don't want to waste my time here talking to you." at nakita ko ang pag tiimbagang niya. "I only want you to know the condition behind this partnership with your father. I actually wanted to set this condition to you, I know you're father's not aware of all this. You can tell him or not, I don't care but with the present situation of your company, a withdrawal of shares will jeopardize your father's much loved business because I don't think anyone would want to invest on your dying company." kita ko ang pagkuyom ng kamay niya na nagtitimpi lang.

"Stay away from Althea and Reggie, don't ever ever contact her or her brother and even his wife, or anyone around them. If I found out that you break my only condition I will withdraw all my shares and I think you wouldn't like that cause you have been living in luxury all your life. If you don't believe me, Atty. Bianca here will provide you with the necessary documents to prove the  authenticity of my transactions with your father." deretsa kong sabi.

"I hope I have made myself clear." sabi ko at umakto na akong aalis hindi ko na nakuhang umupo dahil ayaw ko talagang magtagal na kausap siya.

"Allan owed me a lot." sabi niya and I saw her smirked ng bumalik akong humarap sa kanya.

"I know, that's why you tried to forged my signature in that fake divorce document so you can take Althea because you knew that Allan can never pay you back. Right? You even made me a so called divorce letter for my wife, didn't you?" nagulat siya sa tinuran ko. Nagplano siyang kunin ang signature ko sa resume. na sinubmit ko sa coffee shop at ginaya ang mga pirma ko, pinipilit daw papirmahin si Althea lalo na pag lasing pero napunit yon kaya tinapon niya pero nakuha ko ang copy. Gumawa din siya ng mga sulat na kunwang nagpaalam na ako at nakikipaghiwalay na kay Althea at bigla na lang nawala.

"I can sue you for forgery. I have proofs." sabi ko.

"And I can sue Allan for all my money he wasted. I have proofs, too." sabi niya. "That's why I always tell Althea that whether she likes it or not she'll divorce you once you come back." ngiting tagumpay niya.

"Have it your way, sue him and I'll sue you and withdraw all my shares in your father's company." sabi ko bilang pagbalewala ko sa pagbabanta niya at tuluyan na akong naglakad paalis.
