I'M MARRIED TO A STRANGER (UNDER REVISION)

Chapter 33

Chapter 33
Selfish

Arianne Shawna's POV:

Isang floor na lang at nasa lobby na ko. Nakasakay ako ngayon sa elevator at pinapanuod ang pagbabago ng floor number. Out ko na ngayon sa work. Sa kasaamaang palad nasa isang business meeting sa labas ng hotel si Lolo at Kuya, leaving me here. Coding pa naman ang sasakyan ko ngayon.

Kaya nagmessage ako agad sa Lolo ko na wala akong sasakyan pauwi. Hindi kasi ako marunong magcommute. Since I was young hatid sundo kasi ako palagi so I never tried commuting even before. Ako na ignorante, sige na pero di naman nakakabawas yun sa kagandang taglay ko. Hahaha.

Nagreply naman ito na ipapasundo niya ko sa driver namin kaya naman bumaba na ko agad kasi baka mamaya dumating ang sundo tapos bigla din magpasundo si Lolo. May topak din kasi yun. Ayaw nun na naghihintay.

The elevator made a sound which means na nasa lobby na ko. Agad ako bumababa kasi naman bakit pa ko magstay dun di ba? So naglakad ako sa lobby and our staffs and crews greeted me as I passed by. Binigyan ko naman sila ng ngiti kasi duh di naman ako snobbers.

Nag message si Lolo na malapit na daw ang si Mang Roger so nagdecide ako na magabang na sa labas. I also texted Brett that I was on my home. We regularly update each others whereabouts and what we do. Syempre, we are fine now.

Nagkaroon na kami ng mutual understanding. Sabi nga walang problemang di maayos kung paguusapan. Maybe that's what we lack, communication. Kaya naman after nung talk namin we see to it that we are constantly communicating. Because it's a vital part in our relationship. It won't work out if won't voice out our feelings. Communication keeps the relationship strong and growing.

Nagreply naman agad siya sa akin. He was asking me where am I. I even told him the situation wherein I am waiting for our driver because I don't have a car with me.

I was so engrossed with exchanging sms with my husband that i didn't notice the person approaching me.

"Arianne!" Napalingon lang ako when that someone called my name. Pag angat ko ng ulo ko nakita ko si Zyren na papalapit sakin. He was smilling widely at me.

"O Zyren?" I said acknowledging his presence. 

"What brings you here?" I told him at humarap pa ko sakanya. Syempre may kausap ba na nakatalikod. I don't want to be rude either and since medyo on the good side naman kami ni Zyren.

Nakita ko naman na parang nagalangan siya sa pagsagot. Napahawak pa siya sa pagsagot. Zyren was never like this. Sa tagal namin magkakilala he was always composed. This is new to see him hesitant and parang ligalig.

"Sir Albert asked me uhh to fetch you." Tila nahihiya niyang sabi. OMG! pinamulahan naman ako sa kahihiyan sa sinabi niya. Si Lolo talaga napaka! Nakakainis! Isn't he done playing Cupid on me and Zyren? Well duh it looks like the game is still on.

"OMG! I didn't know Zyren. I'm sorry. My Lolo said Mang Roger is the one who will pick me up." I eagerly explained to him with an apologetic look on my face may pa hand gestures pa ata. Nako ha! Nakakapanic naman kasi no.

I might sound defensive pero the hell I care! Kahihiyan na naman ito! Baka isipin pa nitong lalaking ito na dumadamoves ako sakanya gamit ang Lolo ko. Mamaya ma misinterpret niya pa. Mahirap na no. Baka akalain nito ako naguutos sa Lolo ko na magpasundo sa kanya. Tama na yung isang beses! Kuu si Lolo talaga kakakunsumi!

Natawa naman si Zyren.

"Swear wala akong kinalaman dito. Tingnan mo pa ang message ni Lolo sakin papunta na daw si Mang Roger." I told him habang nagpipindot sa smart phone ko para ipakita sakanya yung messages namin ng Lolo ko.
