Chapter 31

Return

After a month of negotiating with the Saavedras, they finally agreed to my proposal. That was actually the first thing that cause me to smile again after that incident...

Ang nakausap ko ay iyong panganay na Saavedra. He's the one who is managing their business since nag aaral pa iyong dalawang nakababatang kapatid.

Nakakausap ko rin iyong tatay nila ngunit hindi masyado.

"Are you ready?" napalingon ako sa tanong ni Dominic.

Dahan dahan akong tumayo.

"I should be." sagot ko.

Dominic instantly flew here at Italy when he received my call. I badly needed a help at that point of time and thank God he came.

"I need your help." sabi ko nang masagot na niya iyong tawag.

I heard a panic in his voice.

"What the freaking lemonade, Frans! Where are you? Everyone here is finding you and-"

Hindi ko na siya pinatapos.

"Please don't tell Apxfel that I called you... please." I begged.

Katahimikan lamang ang naririnig ko sa kabilang linya.

"Where are you?" halos ibulong iyon ni Dominic.

"I'm in Italy." sagot ko.

The next thing I knew is his here at Italy.

He's the only person I think who can help me without Apxfel knowing. I wanted to contact Paui but Zimmer will know for sure. And I know Zim. Kapag siya, malalaman at malalaman ni Apxfel iyon.

"Frans, why are you hiding?" Dom asked while we are waiting at the hotel lounge. Today, we have a meeting with the eldest Saavedra.

"I'm not hiding." nakayukong sabi ko.

"I seriously do not understand. Ano ba ang nangyari? Christan is-"

I didn't let him finish again. I am tired. I do not want to hear anything about him. Even just for today.

"Ask him, Dom. He knows. He definitely do. Please don't ask about him anymore." may pait sa aking boses.

Simula noon ay hindi na nagtanong pa si Dominic tungkol roon.

Thinking about him makes the fiber of my whole being mad, sad and disappointed. Lahat lahat ng masamang pakiramdam.

I never thought that he would cheat on me. At sa kanya pa. Kay Bobbie pa!

Nang maalala ko iyong kasal namin ay napangiwi na lamang ako.

Fidelity? Infidelity rather. Tangina.

Ngayon ay pabalik na kami ni Dominic sa Pilipinas. Dom just asked if I'm ready. Me, myself doesn't really know if I am. But the thing is, I should be.

Dahan dahan akong tumayo.

"I should be." sagot ko.

Habang nasa eroplano ay naglalaban ang utak ko. A part of me wants to came back so that the investigations about Talia will further... while a part of me doesn't want to. Because it would mean that I have to see him again.

"Here." Dominic said while handing me an envelope.

"What's this?" tanong ko.

"My friend found out that the hotel's owner is a woman. She wasn't named yet but once we already know, will get back at you. Mahalaga na makausap natin siya."

Tumango tango ako.

I should focus at Talia's case. Iyon lang. Iyon na lang dapat.

"If you need anything, just text or call me. Okay?" sabi ni Dom ng makarating kami sa ancestor's house nila sa Bulacan.

Ayaw ko kasing mag hotel kaya nang mag offer si Dom na maaari akong manatili sa Ancestor's house nila ay agad akong pumayag.

"Kukuha lang ako ng ibang gamit sa condo tapos babalik na ako rito." aniya.

Tumango lamang ako.

Aalis rin kasi ako ngayon dahil may bibilhin akong mga gamit.

I've learned to drive more at Italy kaya ngayon ay alam ko ng mag drive kumpara sa dati.

Noon kasi ay ayaw ko ng mag drive simula nang maaksidente si Calix. Ngunit ngayon ay nagkaroon ako ng lakas ng loob sa hindi malamang dahilan.

I started the engine of Dominic's spare car. I felt nice when it roared into life.

I'll drive around BGC. Mamimili ako ng ilang garments at toiletries na rin.

I stopped at the nearest Starbucks. Bigla rin kasi akong nag crave sa Mocha Frappe.

Ang sarap magmaneho habang umiinom ng paborito mong kape. I even turn the music on for a better drive.

Nag e-enjoy na ako ngunit bigla na lamang akong napahinto nang may lalaking muntik ko ng mabundol!

What the hell?!!!
