Unforgettable

Chapter 19

" babes..... "

" my dearest Lea, I've known you since we were ten, and I just didn't knew when I started loving you, but I could say that the moment I laid my eyes on you, I knew you'd be the one for me, remember when I told you I didn't believe in fairytales? " he said and paused, took a box from his pocket and smiled at me " well, I didn't, not until I've talked to you, and now, babes, I want us to be in a fairytale, I want you to be my princess, loving, loyal,kind hearted and a very beautiful singer, and I will be your prince, hard working, romantic, ever loyal, and of course,good looking " he opened the box and smiled sweetly

" babes.. " I said

" my dear Lea,  would you like to spend your life with me? would you be kind and marry me? " he dropped the question

" Lea! "

Napatingin si Lea kay Dawn. Kanina pa pala siya nakatulala at nagbabalik tanaw sa nakaraan.

" s-sorry... " lumingon siya sa labas ng bintana " I'm just... nervous. I mean, it's him... AGAIN "

Ngumiti si Dawn at hinawakan ang kamay ng kaibigan

" It's been seven years Lei. It's about time na harapin mo na yung kinatatakutan mo "

Binuksan ng driver yung pinto para makababa sila. Habang si Lea naman di pa rin mapakali.

" Nasabihan mo na ba sila kung anong itatawag sakin? "

Umiiling na sinagot siya ni Dawn

" Yes Miss Alliyah. Yan ang alam nilang pangalan mo. "

Nakahinga siya ng maluwag kahit papano. At least, hindi makakasira sa mga plano niya ang pagbalik ng memorya ng ex fiance niya.

Ex fiance...

" Good morning Maam Alliyah " bati sa kanya nila Jodi at Richie sabay kindat

Hinila niya ang mga ito papasok sa elevator para sabay sabay na silang umakyat sa office niya.

" My God naman sis! " puna ni Jodi sa kanya " tignan mo nga yang outfit mo! "

Naasiwa tuloy siya. Ito kasi yung pinasuot ni Jodi sa kanyang damit. Short skirt. At office blouse na sleeveless at fitting.

" panget ba? "

" Nope! " bigla nitong hinila ang tali ng buhok niya " yan... much much better Maam Alliyah! " pumalakpak pa ito

Sa second floor, biglang may sumakay na lalaki. Parang kilala niya. Kaso di niya nakita kasi patalikod itong pumasok. Parang may iba siyang nararamdaman.

" Ummm... Jodi " pagtawag niya " Is the president upstairs already? "

Tumingin ito sa kanya " No, Maam Alliyah. He is on his way though "

" So he's late? Tsss. Not good for an impression... " tapos umirap siya

Siniko siya bigla ni Dawn kaya napatingin siya ng masama rito

" Hindi mo ba alam na masamang pag usapan ang isang tao sa likod niya? "

Yung boses na yun.

Cool and soothing.

Baritono at malambing.

Ang boses ng taong pilit niyang kinakalimutan...

" what? " humarap ito sa kanya " Hindi ba naituro yun sayo miss? " nakakunot ang noo nito at matalim ang tingin sa kanya

" excuse me? " pagtataray niya " I have the right to ask or say whatever I want to Mr. Muhlach! "

Mas lalong dumilim ang titig nito sa kanya
