I never knew

Chapter 38

"What are you doing here, JM?" Ang sabi ko. Suddenly, my body was covered with range.

"To offer your company some partnership? Haha." Ang sabi niya. This is bullshit and he's bullshit.

"We don't need any partnership. We can survive without any sister company. So sorry, thank you and good bye." Ang sabi ko.

"Rule number one, if you're in the business industry you should be flexible and be matured about running this company. Business is just business and including some personal stuff while handling it will ruins your company so does your reputation." Ang sabi niya. I just looked at him. "Miles, this is business. Leave the past where it belongs." Ang dugtong niya.

"No one wants you here. Bakit ka nandito? You don't have any rights to lecture me about being a CEO in this company specially in my building. Bakit ka ba bumalik pa? Everyone's fine without you here in the Philippines." Ang sabi ko sa sobrang galit.

"Do you wanna talk about the past?" Ang sabi niya.

"There's no past!" Ang sigaw ko.

Narinig kong bumukas yung pinto. "Is everything okay?!" Ang sigaw ni KC kasama mga guards niya.

"Yeah. Leave us alone." Ang sabi ko.

"Do you know him?" Ang sabi ni KC.

"Yes, KC. You can now let the guards go." Ang sabi ko.

"Nice. Talagang may guards pa. That's good. Miles, do you wanna talk?" Ang sabi niya. I just gave him a cold look. I feel the heat in my eyes.. no! No! Don't cry now. I looked away and pick my things so I can leave immediately. "I'm sorry.." Ang dugtong niya.

"What? Hahahaha. Sorry?" Hindi ko napigilan at lumuha na ako. "Do you think your sorry will fix me? Do you think your sorry will make me happy the way I used to before? Think again, JM. Think again." Ang sabi ko.

"I'm sorry... I don't know what happen but I think you're not fine because of me. I'm sorry. I know my sorry will never change anything in the past but I'm asking you to gave me a chance to make it all better. I'm willing to wait for your forgiveness." Ang sabi niya. Forgiveness? He only want my forgiveness?! I thought he love me. I thought he will ask me out on a date this time. Bullshit! I was expecting again.

"All you have to do for me to forgive you is to stay away from me. I don't wanna see you again, Mr. Pascual. This meeting is over you're just wasting my time." Ang sabi ko habang pinupunasan yung luha ko. He's so numb! I can't believe he just did that for my forgiveness not because he wants me be his'.

Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko.. "Miles, mag simula uli tayo. I'm willing to change all the mistakes, I'd left. Just.. just give me a chance, bestfriend.." What does he mean? Mag simula uli kami? Bilang ano? Ah.. mag bestfriend! I just can't be friends with someone I'm madly in love with! Wala na akong nasabi at umalis nalang ako.

"Hey! You okay? Who's that guy?" Ang tanong ni KC. Hindi ko kasi nakwento sa kanya si JM. Why bother, eh nag mo-move on na ako noong nakilala ko si KC.

"I'm sorry KC but please, I don't want to talk about him anymore. Just.. just let's forget about him." Ang sabi ko habang nag lalakad papuntang office ko. Lumiit na ang mundo naming dalawa dahil nandito na siya sa Pilipinas. Sana hindi pa lumiit lalo.

*Ring.. ring.. ring..*
Daddy Leo

It's Laxies' dad. Siya ang may ari ng company na ito. I answered it immediately.

"Hi, dad!" Ang bati ko. He wants me to call him as dad like Laxies does. Haha.

"Hello, hija. So, how are you? Me and your mom miss you so much. Come and visit us sometimes. Don't wait for Laxies to go home if you want to come here, feel free." Ang sabi niya. Para ko na silang second family. They treat me like their own daughter.

"I miss you both so much too dad! Okay, I'll try to visit you guys maybe tomorrow! How's that sound?" Namiss ko rin sila. Last month pa ang huli kong dalaw sa kanila.

"That sounds great hija! Okay, we'll be expecting you tomorrow and also tell us why you're not okay. Alright? Hmm.. and as usual, we'll be tackling about the company! See you and keep safe. Me and mommy loves you, hija! Don't forget that. Bye!" The sweetest father ever! Haha. Alam niya kasi ang issue sa amin (pagiging broken family) kaya mas close ko siya kaysa kay mommy Lara, ang mommy ni Laxies but super close din naman kami pero mas close lang kami ni daddy Leo. Alam niya rin pala kung kailan ako hindi okay.. pero I just can't say na 'Dad, yung bestfriend ko na minahal ko bumalik na so does my feelings for him.' That would ruin everything!

"Dad! I'm fine. Haha. Don't worry about me. I just miss Laxies a lot. Okay, bye dad! I-kiss mo nalang ako kay mommy ha. I love you both so much!" LIAR. LIAR. LIAR. Napakasinungaling. Ba't kasi bumalik ka pa JM! I hate you.

"Yan! Gusto ko yan. Ilang halik ba gusto mo ibigay ko sa mommy mo hija? Hahahaha!" Alaskador rin 'tong si dad eh. Hahaha.

"As many as you can dad! Hahaha."

"Roger that, hija! Oh, good bye na. See you!" Then, he hang up.

Now what? You have choices Marci, it's either you'll make this day very productive or you'll stress yourself more thinking about him.
