Not His Type

Chapter 16

"Was what that?" Pasigaw na tanong ni Sandra sa'kin as soon as I got out of the restaurant.

So she even freakin followed me, to what? To tell me how happy of a family they are? Oo na, nakita ko na sila. Family bonding? Congrats, kumpleto pa'ng pamilya niyo.

"Sandra, not now." Natalia said, trying to stop her.

"This is a family matter." Sandra replied. Wow, family daw. I wanted to laugh in her face, gusto ko yung sobrang lakas na tawa na pwede na akong mamatay.

"Nat, go ahead. I'll handle this." I said to her. I don't want to involve Natalia in this issue. She nodded and went ahead.

I've kind of expected that I would have an encounter with Sandra, but not this soon. Why is it that when you're finally feeling happy, life messes you up. I have to make sure that next time, kapag masaya ako, prepared ako na maging malungkot o galit pagkatapos.

Its always like this.

"Why did you have to act like that?" Sandra angrily asked.

"Excuse me?"

"Can't you be civil enough?"

I let out a slight laugh. "Are you serious?"

"Jade was there, Kashmere. She's just a child! She asked us why you were mad at Mom and she even cried!" She exclaimed. I felt bad for like a second but then anger came to me.

"What if I told you that I was also just a child when you ruined my family?"

"Walang kasalanan si Jade dito. Just because you were hurt, eh may karapatan ka nang manakit ng ibang tao."

Natahimik ako. I know for a fact na walang kinalaman si Jade, and that she's not aware of what's happening. But I was too shocked earlier na hindi ko na nacontrol ang nararamdaman ko. I felt bad for the kid, but its too late nagawa ko na.

"Forgive, Kashmere. You can't be angry forever." She said before leaving.

I started walking on my way to the parking lot. I texted Natalia not to worry about me and that I'll just go visit my Dad at the cemetery. Its pretty close kaya naman nakarating agad ako. Then when I arrived in front of his grave, I sat down and I started comtemplating. I wasn't crying, actually I can't cry. There's still something inside me na nagsasabi na hindi ko dapat iniiyakan ito. This is not worth any of my tears.

Sandra was right, why can't I forgive? I'm starting to think na baka ako nga ang may problema? Maybe if I just forgave her, wala nang problema ngayon? Pero hindi ko kaya eh and I don't know why I can't. No one would tell me how.

Few days have passed and I haven't contacted anyone at all. Magtatrabaho ako in the morning and after that, I'll go somewhere and eat alone tapos uuwi, yun lang. Zade has been asking me to hang out pero hindi ako sumasama. I also stopped going to places na pinupuntahan niya usually. I just wanted space.

I was eating my lunch when Zues suddenly texted me saying na pumunta ako sa office niya. This might be the first time na pinapatawag niya ako, after all I am under his company. Hindi naman niya siguro ako tatanungin kung bakit hindi ako ma-contact these past few days, di ba?

Right after I arrived, pinapasok ako agad ni Zues sa opisina niya.

"Hello." Bati niya sa'kin without even looking at me. He had a pile of papers in front of him so I kind of understood his attitude. "Karina couldn't contact you kaya naman ako na ang inutusan niyang sabihin sayo."

"Tell me what?"

He removed his glasses then said, "She's pregnant."

My mood immediately went up. Oh my god, Karina's having a baby!! I am so excited at alam kong halata iyon sa mukha ko dahil pati si Zues ay napangiti. I feel so bad for not contacting her when she's trying to tell me something this important. Kung nalaman ko lang sooner, sana napuntahan ko siya agad. A new member might be a good idea lalo na't mahilig ako sa mga bata.
