Chapter SIX

Reality

We arrived at my unit silently, I don't bother to open any topic anymore nor talked to him. I don't want another agitation about what just happened earlier to us. But my mind can't stop thinking what will be the upshot tomorrow. Surely, tomorrow morning those pics of us kissing will be published. I can't imagine my sister's reaction upon seeing that pic. My goodness! I can't also imagine Ivan's reaction upon knowing my identity. That's the worse thing I should expect to happen tomorrow. I set aside at that thought and prayed that it won't happen.

"Hmm... Were here, thanks for tonight! I enjoyed with your company very much." biglaan niyang sabi. Akala ko hindi na 'to magsasalita.

"No problem! But I don't think I enjoy tonight, anyways have a bless night." hindi ko mapigilang di magtaray sa kanya. Totoo naman ehh, paano ako makapag enjoy kung my problema naman akong haharapin kinabukasan.

"Oh, I'm really sorry regarding what happen. Hindi ko naisip na hindi ka nga pala sanay sa ganoon. At least ako, naranasan ko ng ma publicized. I can manage pero ikaw? I can't imagine your reaction." he apologizes for how many times already.

I swallowed hard. As much as I wanted to tell him my real identity and nature, I can't. What he does not know won't hurt him.

"Huwag kang mag-alala. I used my power and influence to stop that photo to be published.'?" he abruptly said.

"Make sure you can." sagot ko. At least I felt slacken because of his assurance.

"Good night." paalam niya bago umakyat patungo sa penthouse niya.

"Good night." I said before entering my unit.

Magdamag akong hindi nakatulog dahil sa kakaisip sa mga nangyari sa party and what will be happening tomorrow morning. I just hope Ivan can terminate those pictures to be publicized. It's such a big issue if it would really happen and I don't want people to judge me. To think that tomorrow morning Ivan will surely know my life stand and job, I know that he will definitely hate me! Maya-maya ay nakatulog rin ako sa kakaisip.

Early morning a boisterous knocked on the door filled my ears, napabalikwas ako mula sa pagkakatulog. Nang hindi pa ito huminto ng ilang sandali ay tsaka ko lang binuksan. My heart skip it's beat when I saw Ivan's soulful eyes staring at me angrily.

"Happy?" he said with his amusement tone.

"What?" I asked confusedly.

"Pretending as if you don't understand what I'm saying when in reality you do." he entered in my room.

"What are you talking about?" wala pa rin akong ideya sa mga pinagsasabi niya.

"Stop fooling me around Cathrine Chavez! You can't toy me!" he hissed, he sat on my bed and situate something on the table near it. Ngayon ko lang napansin na may dala-dala pala siyang newspaper and I saw our photo in it.

"No! It's not what your thinking about Ivan, let me explain everything." pagmamakaawa ko.

"Anong i-expalin mo? Na ikaw ang may pakana sa lahat ng ito." he said and point out our picture. "Well, you successfully did. But to tell you frankly, hindi mo na matutuloy kung ano pang ibang balak mo sa akin!" galit na galit niyang sabi.

"Ivan please! Believe me. I can't do that. I'm not the one. I don't even know you at first until that fucking photographer mentioned your surname last night. That's the time I remember you. I remember about your issue three years ago had passed. And as much as I wanted to tell you my identity, I can't because you said earlier that you really hate reporters like me." sa dami-dami ko pang gusto sanang sabihin pero yun lang ang lumabas sa aking bibig. I can't control myself anymore, I cried. Hindi ako iyakin pero sa puntong ito, I don't know what happen to me. I easily got carry with my emotions and I'm sincere with what saying to him.

"I don't know if I would believe you for the other time Cath!" he closed the door in my room and leave.

After a minute, I decided to take a shower to ease the pain I've been feeling. Pagkalabas ko ng banyo eksakto ring tumonog ang phone ko. I see my manager's name on the screen.

"Hello sir." pambungad ko sa kanya.

"Good job Cath!" excited na bati nito. "You didn't say that you have a sideline stories in having your vacation. Well, I don't mind it but your really is very intelligent." may paghanga pa sa kaniyang boses.

"Sir no! It's not what you meant, it's just a coincidence." I explained.

"Oh, so paano mo yun maipapaliwanag? Kayo na ba?" daldal pa nito.

"I explained everything when I got there sir. I promised." I gave him an assurance.

"Okay be sure Cath. Bye." he hang the call up.

I sighed. What just I have done is such a creepy thing.
