CHAPTER 17

Unedited.

Zaccheus' Point of View

When I heard the connecting doors shut close, I sighed and stopped myself from pretending to be working.

Isinandal ko ang aking ulo sa aking kinauupuan at ipinikit ang aking mga mata. I feel worn out all of a sudden.

That woman is giving me a hard time. Bawal na ba akong mag-alala man lang sa kaniya? Bawal na bang alamin man lang kung nakauwi na siya sa bahay niya? Why is she being so stubborn? Goodness!

Nagtatampo ako sa kaniya. And damn it! I don't know why I am feeling and acting this way. Like, what the fuck dude? Why would I care for a woman like that? And why would I be hurt for what she did?

Damn, yes! I am hurt from what she said over the phone. And I cannot understand why! It's the first time I actually cared for a woman other than my family but the hell, she told me I don't have the right?

That's why I've been trying to act cold towards her because I am irritated. At nagtatampo pa rin ako sa kaniya.

Shit! I sound gay, fuck it!

I decided to just work my ass off to clear my mind of that irritating pain in the ass woman just on the other side of the door.

I was deep in my thoughts when my office's double doors suddenly opened.

"Hi, Zacchy!"

Napaangat ang tingin ko mula sa papeles na hawak ko papunta kay Schirina na nakangiting naglalakad palapit sa akin.

"Hi, cousin." I greeted her.

Her brow shot up in question. "Are you okay, Zacchy? You seem a little off."

I stood up from my chair and walked towards her and hugged and kissed her.

"I'm okay, Schirina." I said.

"No, you're not. Sa akin ka pa ba magsisinungaling, Zacchy? Ako kaya ang pinakaborito mong pinsan sa mundo." she said with a 'duh' tone.

"Dahil ikaw lang talaga ang pinsan ko." sabi ko.

"I know right." She held my hand and led me to my office's receiving area. "Spill, dear cousin."

I sighed before telling her what's been bothering me.

"You see, Schirina, I was worried about Saccharine last night--"

"Woah, woah, hold it right there." Schirina interrupted me. "You were worried about Saccharine? Last night? Why? I mean, this is new!"

Pinukol ko siya ng isang masamang tingin sa pagputol niya sa sinasabi ko. "Will you listen first, Schirina?"

She raised her hands in defeat. "Okay, fine, continue."

"Like I've said, I was worried about her last night. Gabi na kasi siyang natapos sa pinagawa ko sa kaniya. And because it was already late, I decided to wait for her para ihatid na siya sa bahay niya. But that woman refused!" I said exasperatedly. "And when I texted her if she arrived home safe, she didn't even replied. And worst, when I called her, she said it was not my obligation to be worried about her!"

And my irritating cousin has the nerve to laugh at me! She fucking laughed at me. Oh dear Lord, women!

"You are being funny, Zacchy." she commented laughing. "You're acting like a child deprived of what he wants! Goodness! I've been waiting for this time to arrive. Finally! A woman made you anxious and frustrated."

"It's not funny, Schirina." I said pointedly. "She's really frustrating I don't know what to do with her!"

"Oh dear, cousin. You got it so bad, really bad." she said sympathetically that I rolled my eyes. "And I suggest you prepare yourself because I can feel it, it will strike you one of this days."
