Chapter 14
He's back

Shit! Is she serious!? There is no way I'll allow that!

"No Love, your father's the one who has debts here"

"But I'm the one who's handling it now. It's my responsibility too!"

"I don't have a choice but to bring your father there now"

Her eyes widened and slap me hard.

Ouch!

"Hangga't kailan mo ko papahirapan ng ganito huh?!" She ask me crying

"B-baby"

"Lumayo ako para maiwasan ka, t-tapos ngayon babalik ka na parang wala kang ginawa?!"

"B-baby, I didn't---

"Well you always say that! Dahil ba sa iniwan kita at nasaktan yang ego mo!? Tell me if you want to annihilate me! Wag mong damayin si daddy"

Napahagulgol ito at nanghihina. Oh shit, Now what have I done!

"Baby I'm sorry" I hug her tight. "I---I miss you"

Napahiwalay naman ito at madiin akong tinitigan.

"You miss playing with my feelings. I'm just your fuck buddy right!? but no thanks, I prefer suffering inside the prison cell than being with you"

She left the conference room leaving me hanging here. How can I ever apologize?

Beeeeep!

Baby! Mom cooked our dinner. Come over the house"

Elisse

I sighed.

But I can't leave Elisse too, for some deeper reasons. I can't decline her offers because I don't want her to feel sadness or disappointments, it might affect to her ailment.

She's ill.

Kaya nagreply nalang ako ng Oo at umalis na ng Magdael Company. Nahagip ng mga mata ko ang bagong iyak na Serene, standing and hugging her dad.

I stared at her bona fide smile and my heart aches. Oh fuck!

I'm so in love

She's one mystical lady that makes every man melt

Like me.

I  left the place because I might get crazy and kidnap her! Instead, umuwi nalang muna ako ng mansion, I miss her in my bed. Miss her smiling, miss evry inch of her and I am the reason why I lose those beautiful moments.

"Good noon Sir! Andito po si Madame Luciana kasama ang mommy Red mo"

Tumango nalang ako at dumeresto sa loob. I saw Mom and Grandma cooking, I smiled.

"Hey to the most beautiful women in my life"

"APO!"

Grandma bustle to me and gave me a kiss in the cheeks.

"How are you!? It's been Seven months na hindi ka namin nakikita"

Nagtatampong sambit ni Mom, I chuckled. "Sorry, marami lang akong inayos"

"Where's Elisse? How is she? How's her operation?" -Mom

"She's stable. But, unti-unting nagiging stagnant ang puso niya"

"Aww Dear, wag mo siyang sasaktan o iiwanan okay?"

I gave her a wry smile. I can't really act so happy about engaging with Elisse, but I also can't hurt her.

"When are you proposing?" Mom excitedly said.

"Uhm--Not now Mom"

"Redani, will you leave us first? May pag-uusapan lang kami" Grandma interfere

"Sure mamita! I'll cook the pasta first"

When mom left us alone, I can't help but my tears burst out. I know, Grandma will be the only one who can understand and comfort me. She knows what I've been feeling

"Apo"

"Lola, a-ang sakit. I never felt this before I met her but, but I feel like something's breaking inside. And I I want to cease it, but h-how? A-ayokong saktan si Elisse, but I'm hurting here too" I wholeheartedly cried.

She patted my back "Apo, I can see you struggling with it, And as a grandmother, it hurts me big time seeing you like that. I want you to fix your situation with Elisse, she's a good woman. And she will understand, Trust me. She's your bestfriend after all. And after fixing it, It's the time that you'll make the beautiful girl yours. Make her chase you, make her yours. Make everything right. Come'on now Grey, Isa kang Cameron, and Camerons never give up"

Her words strike me. I stand still and burst out crying while hugging her tight

"I'll make everything right Grandma, I won't give up."

              Serene Magdael

"Daddy bakit hindi mo sakin sinabing may utang kayo ng ganun kalaking pera?"

I weakly look at my father

"I-I'm sorry anak, a-ayokong mahirapan ka. And, ito lang ang alam kong paraan para--

"If that's the only way not to put you in jail. I'll accept the deal dad"

"R-really?"

"I can handle it. I have to go, my client akong e memeet today"

Hindi ko na siya pinagsalita dahil agaran akong tumalikod. I maneuver my car back to Magdael Company. Pero bago nun, dumaan na muna ako ng restaurant, gosh! I'm hungry.

"What's your order mam?" A beautiful brown eyed girl ask me.

Brina.

Yun ang name niya. I see it on her tag card. She is actually very pretty.

"Uhm, I'll have this Beef teriyaki and ice tea"

"Uhm, Okay ma'am is that all?"

"Yes"

I can't help but to smile at her. I trace my gaze to Brina and a familiar person caught my attention

Is that Hawk Malice?

Oh! Of course I remember him! Tsk.

And I see him holding Brina's hand na parang naiinis habang pilit namang inaalis ng babae. I smell something in here! Another love story spotted I guess? I laugh mentally.

Oh gosh! I miss Beige and Claud. How I wish that they're here eating with me. Mga gagang yon! I miss those bitches. Nasa italy kasi si Claud at nag t-travel, wala daw siyang pake-alam sa Company nila. Sira talaga, while Beige is in New York, staying there for good.

Haist

Dumating na yung order ko, but I suddenly lost my appetite seeing two people entered the resto

Ang kapal nang mukha niyang mag-alok ng kasal tas makikita ko siyang kasama ang babaeng yan!? Huh! I hate him so much! And fuck him for being a douchebag

"Hi Miss, can I join you here?"

"LUKE!?"
