ABBY GALE ORTEGA-ABELLARDO
Maaga akong nagising --- oh wait, mali pala kasi hindi naman talaga ako natulog. Nagulat nga si manang nung bumaba ako sa kusina kasi hindi naman ako ganito kaaga nagigising. She even has to wake me up kasi kahit nag-aalarm ako eh hindi pa rin ako nagigising. Tinulungan ko na lang siyang maghanda ng almusal para makakain ako at makaalis agad dahil ayokong makita si Jazz ngayon. I don't know. I just feel betrayed. At mukhang tumuloy nga kahapon si Farrah sa opisina niya kasi nagkita sila, kumain pa sila ng dinner together, ang gara nun diba?
I was busy preparing the table, bumaba si Jazz kaya nagulat ako. He usually wakes up at 6. I fixed myself at hindi ko siya pinansin. He got his usual coffee and when I was done setting the, umupo na kami kasama si manang for breakfast. I am silently eating my food when manang spoke.
"Abby, hija, bakit parang hindi ka natulog? Maga kasi yang mga mata mo." Tanong ni manang kaya napatingin din sa akin si Jazz. I did my best not to look in his direction and though it was hard, I did it naman.
"Nakatulog naman ako manang. Nanood lang kasi ako ng KDrama kagabi kaya late na ako nakatulog." Sagot ko kahit na hindi naman totoo. Hindi ako nakatulog kasi sa mga narinig ko kagabi.
"You should sleep more when you can." Komento ni Jazz pero hindi ko pinansin. As soon as I finished my breakfast, I went to my room and took a bath para makapunta na sa opisina. Wala na si Jazz nang bumaba ako pero nadatnan ko si manang na nanonood ng news and when she saw me, pinahingay niya ako saglit kasi may ginawa daw siyang meryenda kaya umupo muna ako sa sofa.
I waited for manang kaya nanood muna ako ng news. Nang biglang lumitaw ang litrato nila Jazz at Farrah na magkasama kagabi. Farrah's clinging onto Jazz's arm while Jazz is smiling wide.
[Business Tycoon, Jazz Lorenzo Abellardo was seen with Farrah Romualdez last night at a 5-star restaurant. This is the first time that the public saw Mr. Abellardo with a woman outside of work. It has also been reported that Ms. Romualdez is an ex-flame of Mr. Abellardo. What's the score between the two? Reconciliation? Or just two friends meeting each other for the first time again]
[Just this morning, in an ambush interview, Ms. Romualdez was asked about the score between her and Mr. Abellardo.]
[Ms. Farrah, you were seen last night with Mr. Abellardo, one of the most sought after bachelors in his time, what's the deal between the two of you?]
[Hmmm... Bachelors, you say? Well, I am just really happy to see him again after a long time. We were able to catch up about life and his business. Hopefully, I'll get to see him more these following days.]
[Is he courting you? Or are you guys together?]
[I would like to keep things private in the mean time.]
Nakinig lang ako sa news which confirmed my suspicions. He could've told me about Farrah, why did he have to hide it? Tumayo ako at nang tumalikod ako, nakita ko si Jazz na nakatayo at nakatingin sa akin. Nasa likuran naman niya si manang na halatang hindi makapaniwala sa napanood niya. Walang nagsasalita sa aming tatlo at wala rin naman akong sasabihin kay Jazz kaya umalis na lang ako. Nagpasalamat lang ako kay manang sa meryendang inihanda niya bago ako lumabas at nagtungo sa garahe upang kunin yung kotse ko nung sumunod si Jazz.
"Abby, let's talk, please." Sabi niya pero hindi ko siya pinansin. "Abby." Hindi ko pa rin siya pinansin pero hinila niya ang kamay ko dahilan para tignan ko siya. "Let's talk." He said with finality.
"Anong pag-uusapan natin, Jazz? The fact that you lied?" I asked.
"I didn't lie. It was really a business meeting."
