Invade
It's been a weeks that has passed. I've been busy pushing my self to it's limits just so I could handle the company I dreamt properly and make it on top just like what I did to our Lavista's empire.
It's been a weeks that I'm also preoccupied.
Preoccupied not because of any logistics topic or business matters. Preoccupied because of someone. Preoccupied because of him. Because of Evereen's cousin.
"Dadaria said you've been acting ruthlessly weird these past few weeks. Why?"
Hindi ko alam ang isasagot ko. The last time someone talk about me like that is when I was very devastated about what happened to my father. I've been ruthless to everyone. Ganoon nga din siguro ang naging dahilan ng pagiging isang mabuting pinuno ko ng kumpanya namin.
My dad, his far from what I am when I'm still handling our company. His kind, understanding, generous, and a good leader— no his actually the best leader. Hindi sya mahigpit kaya ang mga empleyado nya ay tapat sa kanya. Ibang-iba sa akin.
At my dad's funeral before, I already knew that I'll be the one handling our business. Hindi pwede sila UncleNicco dahil may sarili din silang kumpanya that is the company that Nicco is currently handling now, while Uncle Cevin, of course he has his own. Tumutulong din si Cavin doon. And my mom she doesn't want to take over the position. I knew it from the start. It's like Nicco, Cavin and I are trained to be out fathers' successors, and I'm not an exemption.
"You're being Amberianna Lavista. Not the Rian Gozon you want."
Iniiwas ko ang tingin ko sa kanya. Ibinaling ko ito sa pagkaing nasa harapan ko. Where in a VIP room of a fine dinning restaurant. Kaming dalawa lang para sa aming dinner.
"Couz, are you tired now?" nag taas ako ng tingin sa kanya. I saw some worried expression in his eyes.
"Do you want to stop and come back to Spain?"
Sa puntong iyon ay natigilan na ako. Ano nga ba ang gusto ko? Bakit ako nagkakaganito at nawawala sa kontrol ko ang lahat ng ikinikilos ko? Bakit nawawala ako sa karakter ko? Bakit naguguluhan ako? Bakit nasisira ko na ang mga plano ko?
"Is there something bothering you?"
Mariin akong pumikit bago sya sinagot, "Yes. I'm upset."
Hindi ko alam kung anong nangyayari sa sarili ko. I am fully aware that I'm loosing my focus on my job, my sanity is slowly drifting away and yet I don't and I think I won't do anything to stop it. Surely, I'm starting to be reckless again. I'm slowly putting back the old version of my self. The one that is ruthless, spoiled, and irresponsible.
Tumikhim si Nicco at uminom ng champagne nya bago magsalita. "You're upset, because?"
Again, I'm stock on thinking why am I upset. What are things that I'm always thinking and makes me bothered. Surely it is not because of the company, it's nothing to do with my disguise because this past few weeks I know I'm doing it great.
And then I realized it again, it's not a thing that makes me bothered. It's a human...
"It's a man." natigilan ako dahil alam kong naisatinig ko iyon. Tiningnan ko naman ang ekspresyon ni Nicco pero wala akong nakitang pagkagulat man lang o kahit ano. Ni hindi nga nagbago ang ekspresyon ng mukha niya.
"Davin Luxvart. He is the reason why you are upset? You looks like his diseased mother."
Napainom ako sa champagne ko at nagpatuloy sa pagiging kalmado kahit pa alam kong na natumbok ni Nicco ang rason ko. Ang mga bumabagabag sakin.
