Chapter 22: New What?!

Ashiel's POV

Nalaman ko kasi kay dad na buo na ang desisyon nya at wala ng makakapagpabago pa nito. So anu pa nga bang magagawa ko diba? Kundi sundin sya. I sighed. Inaayos ko ang neck tie ko ng biglang pumasok si Sebastian sa kwarto ko. Oh here's the brat.

"Well, well well." Nakangising saad nya. I know he's teasing me but I'm not going to be affected by it.

"At talagang masaya ka huh?" I said. "Of course. Who wouldn't be." He grinned.

"I could see that. Pag-ibig nga naman. Ganyan ba kapag in love lil bro?" Asar ko sa kanya Agad naman nawala ang ngiti nya.

"In love? What? I'm not in love." Tanggi nya.

"Don't you lie to me. You wouldn't do something like this to this extent kung hindi ka obsessed sa kanya. I see you're just too protective of your girlfriend natakot ka siguro na maagaw sya sayo?" I tease him even more.

"Shut up! Stop saying non-sense. I'm not obsessed! And She's not even my girlfriend!" Angil nya.

Hindi nya girlfriend? I don't believe it. Okay hindi na sya obsessed possessive na lang.

"K.Fine. I never thought that you would be that possessive Sebastian." Di makapaniwalang saad ko.

Sinamaan nya ako ng tingin. "I'm not possessive either, you jerk." Indenial pa.

If I know may gusto sya dun sa classmate nyang ka business partnership ko. Hindi naman ako tanga o manhid para hindi mapansin yun.

"And what do you call it then?" I retorted.

Hindi sya makasagot dahil totoo? I can't believe it. Sebastian Del Valtazar ay nagmamahal na nga ba?! That girl must be really something. I suddenly smirked. She almost got me too.

Kung hindi lang talaga ako binakuran ng kapatid kong to. Ano pa nga bang magagawa ng kahit sino? It was a son of a Del Valtazar. Well I have to go now. I should be getting my stuffs back at kailangan ko ng pumunta sa new company na naassign sa akin. Paalis na sana ako ng muli syang magsalita.

"I don't get what you're trying to say but always remember this. Stay away from her from now on." Napangisi ako. He's really growing up. Might as well tease him for a while.

"I can't promise you that lil bro~" nakatalikod kong saad sa kanya bago tuluyan syang iwan doon.

End of POV

Kittyelle's POV

Nagtataka akong tinitignan si Ashiel habang nagsisimula na syang magempake sa opisina ko. Napatulala na ata ako sa sobrang pagtataka kung bakit ganun ang ginagawa nya. Aalis na ba sya? Natauhan kaya sya sa mga sinabi nya sa akin last time? Kaya narealize nya na tama ako. O hindi nya matanggap na tama ako kaya sya aalis? Magtatanong na sana ako ng bigla syang magsalita.

"You should be happy because I'm already leaving." Tipid na saad nya.

What? Ano daw???

Hindi agad maprocess ng utak ko ang sinabi nya.

"What?!!"

"I said I'm leaving. What part of that sentence didn't you understand? Kailangan ko pang ipaliwanag isa-isa para lang maintindihan mo?" Walang ganang saad nya.

I blink for a few times. "You mean. You're quitting as my partnership?" Di makapaniwalang sagot ko, "Not actually quitting. I was replaced. So goodluck with your new partnership. I guess this is a goodbye." He answered.
