The Untamable Woman

16

From: Mr. Tycoon

[I'm ready anytime you want to accept my lunch offer.] 

I rolled my eyes upon reading Blaze text. His been texting non-stop simula ng ireject ko ang alok niyang kumain sa labas. This might be considered as a consequence, and the worst one out of all consequence that I ever received. 

"You're eating dried apple..," Siance sounded uneasy. "The last time you ate those, it was because of her Highness's ex-boyfriend. So why are you eating that now?" medyo kabado niyang tanong sa'kin. 

Inalis ko sa bunganga ko ang dried apple. "OA mo, Siance. Porke't kumakain ako ng dried apple ibig sabihin may meaning na?" I glanced toward her. "Hindi ba pwedeng namiss ko lang kainin to?" I retorted to her. 

Umiling si Siance. "Hindi," agad niyang sagot. 

"At bakit?" tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. 

"Because you are you!" sabay turo sa'kin. "Pagkumakain ka ng dried apple, ibig sabihin there's someone you want to choke to death. Kaya kung ako sayo, magsasalita na ako bago pa malaman ni Highness 'yan," she advise pero umiling lang ako. 

Ang OA talaga ni Siance. Nang dahil lang sa dried apple kailangan bigyan niya ng meaning. Bakit? Ano ba meron sa dried apple? Mansanas na tuyo lang naman 'to e! Walang hidden meaning behind it, pwera na lang kung isa kang Siance. Lahat binibigyan ng meaning. 

"Bahala ka dyan," sabay subo ng dried apple. 

"Is it because of Blaze?" bigla niyang tanong. 

Natigil ako saglit sa pagnguya tsaka sumilip kay Siance. "Paano siya nasama sa usapan natin?" kahit totoo namang dahil sa kanya kung bakit ako nagiging ganito ngayon. 

"Well, base on your behavior, everytime may magbabanggit ng pangalan niya, lagi kang nag rereact," she paused. "Kahit katunog nga lang ng pangalan niya kumukunot na noo mo e," she concluded as I continue to chew on the dried apple. 

"Ewan," kumubit balikat ako. 

"I really don't get you, Yvy," bumuntong hininga si Siance. 

Ibinalik ko ang tingin ko sa screen ng laptop ko. "Hindi mo ako kailangan intindihin, Siance. Katulad ng dati, ignore whatever it is you are witnessing, and move on," pagreremind ko sa gawain niya dati. 

"You and her really are stubborn," huli niyang sabi bago pa siya umalis ng opisina ko. 

Tumigil ako sa pagtatype at lumingon sa pintuan. At least ako hindi nilalaro ang love life ng ibang tao. I may play with people life, but playing with their heart will never be on my list of how to kill them. 

Speaking of her, ano na naman kaya ang ginagawa ng isang 'yun? Ang tagal ko na rin siyang hindi nakakausap. Alam niya na kaya ang nangyayare dito? I'm sure she knows, considering she's one busy-body. 

Naputol ako sa pagiisip ng tumunog ang cellphone ko. Nilingon ko ito't nagappear ang pangalan ni Blaze sa screen ng phone ko. 

From: Mr. Tycoon

[Go out with me one time, and I won't bother you again.] 

I sighed. "He really won't stop unless he gets what he wants." 

Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko sa lamesa't pinindot ang text ni Blaze.

To: Mr. Tycoon. 

[DeCode. 8:00 p.m. VIP room 6. Don't be late or I'm leaving.] 

I pressed the sent button. Might aswell get it done, kaysa matadtad ako ng text niya araw-araw. I won't be able to take it pag inaraw-araw niya ang pag text sa'kin para lang lumabas kami. And if he says other wise, then that's his fault. I won't agree anymore.
