'Ladies and gents thank you for coming "
I said with a wide smile facing my visitors whom I invited in this branch opening. The program went well, it's done according to plan and I am now bidding goodbye to those people who attended the ceremony. I was looking at Nithael who's talking to his secretary (I guess) and preparing to leave. I guess our first meet up since nang umuwi kami dito ay ganun lang, hindi kami nagpapansinan kanina pag nagkakasalubong kami , as in hindi na talaga kami ulit nag usap after nung encounter namin kanina.

I bid goodbye again and thanked them for attending. I sighed, I think we're really done Nithael.




When there's no visitors anymore ,I proceeded to my office to sign some papers. I was in the middle of reading a contract when I heard a knock on the door. "Sei I'm leaving, Bye love yah" Yeah it's Gail. Hindi pa man ako nakaka response ay nakarinig nako nang footsteps papalayo, maybe she's in a hurry. I returned reading the contract when I heard a knock again
"What is it Gaillana?" I asked thinking that 'twas Gail.


"Ma'am this is me, Kelly" Oh, I put the papers down and quickly stand up to open the door for Kelly "What is it Kels?" That's my nickname for her. She gave me a hollywood smile and said "Ma'am there's someone who wants to talk to you" napa kunot noo ako sa sinabi ni Kelly. Sino naman kaya ang gustong makipag usap sakin?

I thought there's no visitors anymore. I roamed my eyes around the restaurant to look for that certain person who wants to talk to me but I saw no one.

"Who?" I asked still brow ceased. She pointed her finger at the door and immediately , like a magic, Nithael entered. I was shocked for a moment thinking why would he want to talk to me? Do we have anything to talk about?

"Ni-Nithael " I mentally cursed myself for stuttering while uttering his name. I'm not really comfortable when he's around.


I faced Kelly and nodded my head, gladly nakuha naman niya yung gusto kong sabihin through my gesture. She smiled and excused herself. So now... it's just the two of us. I gestured him to sit down, he nodded and went to the nearest table and I followed.

"What is it that we're going to talk about Mr.Zamora?" I asked in a very formal tone.

"I didn't know that you're into restaurants Seheiah" He said while roaming his eyes around the restaurant. I was about to answer when he interrupted

"It's okay Sei, you don't like talking to me about your life. I'm used to it. That's why leaving me was just so damn easy for you" I can see his eyes burning with rage as if he remembered what happened in the past between the two of us.

"So-sorry" was all I've said in a stuttering voice. Though I wanted to tell him the reason behind of me , abandoning him, I didn't, he's very successful right now so I believe that what I did in the past was all worth it, all the pain and struggles were worth it, because I can see him now as a successful bachelor, featured in so many magazines, handling a big and prominent company, and one of the top ten richest bachelor in Asia.

So , this is where it lead him. Tama nga ang kasabihang

'Ang sundalo kapag nasusugatan ay lalong tumatapang'

"So how's life going?" He said like we're just having a normal friends conversation.

"Fine" I sipped my juice, though I didn't know how it got there. Maybe one of my employee served this, sa sobrang dami nang iniisip ko kanina hindi ko na namalayan na may naglagay nang juice sa harapan ko.

I'm sorry if I'm very lousy. Maliit na bagay ay talagang pinapalaki ko, at ginagawan nang kwento.

Kay Gail ko siguro namana yung ugaling ganito. So back to Nithael.
"How's your stay in the U.S?" That question of him got me shocked because I didn't inform anyone except Gail, my parents and Nana Tessa about me, staying in U.S! So how come did he know that I was staying at U.S?

"I have connections baby" He said that as easy as 1,2,3. He had me investigated? But then why? Why would he do such thing?


"What do you mean by that Nithael? "
I said in a stern voice, kailangan kong malaman kung paano niya malaman na nag stay ako sa U.S. He had me followed or what?

"I said I have connections Seheiah"
He said like he is already irritated.


"Did you had me followed?" Nakakunot ang noo ko habang tinatanong yun. Bakit niya'ko pimasundan? Goodness all this time alam niya ang pinanggagagawa ko?
His jaw clenched.

."Why would I? You left me right? You dumped me. Why would I hire someone to follow you then" Nararamdaman kong medyo nagiging seryoso na ang pinag uusapan namin.

"F-forgiveness N-nithael, that's all I need" I was shaking when I said those words,but his face,his face were still emotionless , that's not what it is before.I shaked my head not wanting to remember anything about him.

"You fucked me up when you left me, I should return the favor" With that, he stormed out of the cafe, leaving me dumbfounded. What does he mean by that?
