Kasal

"Why are you here?"

"Cause I'm the CEO." Simple yet authoritative. He looks more attractive than the last time I saw him. His built became more define showing his muscularity with his attire. Can't deny the fact that this man is one of those perfect creation.

As much as I want to adore him, mas pinanaig ko ang galit dulot ng nakaraan. As soon as the acid of the past kick in I felt the urge to back out immediately. Hindi ko yata kakayaning pakisamahan ang taong ito kung dito ako magtatrabaho. No walang yata. Nasisigurado ko na hindi ko talaga kakayanin.

"I-I'm sorry but I think I will not continue my application here anymore." Tumalikod na ako after that and buo na ang desisyong umalis sa kwarto na iyon.

Napalingon ako sa biglaang pagtawa niya. It was full of sarcasm. Nanunuya.

"Why? Is it because I will be your boss? Bakit Miss Suarez? Kung tanggapin nga kita dito, hindi ba mas maganda nga iyon kasi kilala na natin ang isa't isa? It will be an advantage for both of us."

Advantage? On what point? He treated me like a trash before.

"May I remind you that we are not close. Magkakilala lang tayo at yun lang yun. With all due respect, I dont see any advantage for your part if I will be your employee. Mauna na ako. I decline my application."

Mabuti na ang magpakatotoo. Antipatikong lalaki 'to. Alam kong mayaman siya. At alas niya iyon dahil kailangan ko ng pera.

"Hmmm. Then how about your mom? Will you sacrifice her because of your childish act?"

Nagpanting ang tainga ko sa sinabi niyang iyon.

"Childish act?! You call this childish act? Baka nakakalimutan mo ang ginawa mo sa akin noon. And how the hell did you know about my mom?"

"I have my sources." Sources. Is he stalking me?

Nanliit ang mga mata ko sa sinabi niya. "Are you stalking me?"

"Why would I do that? I dont think may mapapala ako kapag ginawa ko yang ibinibintang mo. Keep your expectation to yourself. Your nothing to me but just an ex."

He has a point there. Pero masakit pa din pala na ipaalala sayo kung ano ka lang at kung gaano ka kawalang kwenta sa kanya.

"Nagkataon lang na may nakapagsabi sa akin."

"Whatever Mr. CEO. Whatever you think about me, still, my decision will not change." Tumalikod na ako at akmang bubuksan ko na ang pinto ng muli siyang magsalita.

"Kahit sabihin kong tanggap ka na and I am willing to give you a fifty thousand pesos as your signing bonus and eighty thousand for your monthly wage?"

Fifty thousand para sa signing bonus?! That's big! Tapos eighty pa monthly? Maibibili ko na ng gamot ni mama iyon. Naghahati ang kalooban ko.

Huminga ako ng malalim. I won't bite it. Alam ko namang pa-in lang niya yan sa akin para pasakitan ako o sa kung ano man ang plano niya. Why the hell did he needs me here? Di ba mas tamang isipin na mas masusuya lang ang paningin niya dahil andito ako. Because I am to him before. Isang bagay na parang nakakadiring lapitan. Isang basurang kailangang itapon.

"Sinusuhulan mo ba ako?"

"Whatever it is you think of me, my offer will still stand as well." Tiningnan ko siyang maigi but then his stares just make me tremble. Umiwas ako ng tingin.
