Laurenttius Series #1: Taste of Her Vengeance

Chapter 46: Party

Tres

"Shut up!" I was beyond mad nang itinuro ko ang isa sa mga board member ng kumpanya.

He needs to shut his mouth or i will kick him out of this conference.

"How dare you betrayed me? Fucking answer me! Sino ang pumasok at kumuha ng mga information sa office ko?!"

The perks of being a CEO no matter how many times you shout at them and curse them to death they will keep their mouth shut.

"Who?!"

Ramdam ko na ang paglabas ng ugat sa aking leeg . mukhang walang nais sumagot dahil lahat sila ay natatakot sa kaya kong gawin. There are rumors na pinapatay ang sino mang magtraydor sa kumpanya but we are not like that. I will not stoop that low. Yet you beg ..fuck! All those hurtful memories is keep on playing on my mind.

"You cannot get through with this, kung sino man ang nagtraydor sa akin ay magbabayad ng higit pa. EVERYONE LEAVE!"

Naguunahang magalisan ang mga tao liban sa kapatid ko at kay aunt Clarisse.

"I.SAID.LEAVE!" I didnt shout this time ngunit nanatili ang riin sa aking boses.

I can hear the evil and loud laugh of my aunt.

"Tres,hijo. Paano ka nakakasiguradong may kumuha ng files? Baka naman nagpull out talaga ang mga investors?"

Malamig ko syang tinignan making her stopped st the moment at tumahimik.

"For what reason? Stable ang kumpanya at hindi coincidence na magpupull out ang tatlo sa kanila ng sabay sabay"

I know how the systems work. Been in the industry for almost 8 years. I exerted most of my life in this company at hindi kailangan ng talino para masabing may trumaydor sa akin.

Tumikhim si Auntie at tumayo ,kinuha niya ang branded na bag at pasuplada kaming tinignan.

"If that's the case baka hindi sa member ka dapat humanap ng kalaban! Ikaw ang nagpapapasok ng kung sino sino sa opisina mo! Why not ask your secretary ?"

"Wait ,what do you mean auntie? Na trinatraydor sya ng secretary nya? That's impossible.. Ang batang iyon ay hindi ganong klase ng.."
Pinutol ni Auntie si Dos na nakahawak sa baywang nya at nagiisip din.

"No. What i mean is that may pinapasok yang kapatid mo sa opisina nya ..the abejar girl!"

"Abejar, Tres?"

Kumunot ang noo ko at umiling.

"Auntie Clarisse you imagined things a lot. Hindi magagawa ni Ruth ang ganoong bagay"

Of course she can't do that to me, for what reason? Wala akong nakikitang dahilan.

"What if sya nga? Hijo,masyado kang nagpapabulag sa pag-ibig ng babaeng yon. Hindi sya mapagkakatiwalaan hindi sya gaya ni Amanda"

Nagigtang ang panga ko sa sinabi nya kaya marahas kong sinuntok ang matigas na lamesa.
Gulat akong tinignan ni Aunt.

"How dare you?"

Lumunok ng paulit ulit si Auntie.

Wala syang karapatan at hanggang ngayon ay hindi nya pa nakukuha ang tiwala ko simce that day. She cant tell me what to do. Matagal na syang humingi ng tawad at nagexplain but i just cant forgive her that extent na muli syang pagkatiwalaan . lahat ng ginagawa ko ay parte lang ng natitirang paggalang sa kanya.

"You know how much i regret hurting her Tres. Alam mong nagkamali ako ng akala noon and i was just protecting you."

"Shut it, leave me alone. I don't need any protection from you."

"Tres,hijo...."

"I said leave"

"Auntie please" walang nagawa si Auntie nang ang mahinahong si Dos ang nagsalita.

Bigo syang lumabas ng opisina at hindi na lumingon pang muli.

"So what are your plans?"
Pagsisimula ni Kuya Dos. Naupo sya sa tapat ko ngunit Hindi ako nagsalita.

I don't know either.

"The party later.."

"I don't want to come"
Walang buhay Kong sagot umiling sya sa akin. Seems disappointed.

"You need to be there" he's trying to convince me

"I don't want to be there"

"You just can't back out,ikaw ang CEO. "
He said trying to calm himself dahil ramdam ko na ang inis sa kanya.

I sighed "I need to fix this first, kailangan maibalik ko lahat ng perang nawala"

"We will help you there pero ngayon you need to show up, specially now na iniisip ng mga taong nasa crisis ang kumpanya"

"I will think about it.." tumawa sya at humalukipkip.

"Brother, you're being irrational. I understand that you're hurt but tfor the company's sake iayos mo ang sarili mo."

"OK. Fucking Fuck I'll attend that goddamn party,happy?" Ngumisi sya at tumango.

"Very happy"

Umirap ako at Huminga ng malalim, Hindi ko maalis sa isip ko ang sinabi ni Auntie. Paano kung may..

"Tres"tikhim ni Dos.

Tumingin ako sa kanya.

"What if totoo yung sinabi ni auntie.."

"She's a liar. " mulling nagigting ang panga ko. She's provably lying,she's good at it.

"I'm not saying na totoo nga..I'm asking you, kung sakaling totoo? What will you do?"

Huminga ako at napahilot sa sintido.

I don't fucking know...

Nang mapansin nya ang mahabang katahimikan at tumayo sya at tinapik ang balikat ko.

"You badly need a time to think of everything, I will leave you here. Let's see each other at the party"

Umalis na sya at iniwan ako sa conference room.
I don't want to think that what my Auntie said is true. But if ever it was, I don't know. .. but she's my L'amour and she can't do that to me.

The pain I've been experiencing is too much and a betrayal, it will be the death of me.
