Sweetest Pleasure

Chapter 12

She felt so much pain and it's starting to make her feel numb. She's sobbing but there's no tears left for her to cry, so she wrote a resignation letter that effective immediately, then email it to the company's email address.

She also contacted he parents saying that she's going somewhere, far, but safe. Yet her Mom asked her to come visit first.

Then call Kriss, telling her not to tell anyone about her condition. Kung hindi ay hindi nya ito kukuning ninang. She didn't tell her what happened but she promise to tell her soon.

She also call Ate Alex to tell her that she was moving. And tell her about the resignation letter she send to Lucas, saying that she's really sick and it is better for her to quit working since naaapektohan na non ang performance nya.

She texted and call Kriss and Ate Alex using her new simcard and phone, telling them not to give it to anyone or else she will cut the communication with them too.

She's afraid that Lucas will track her down. Ayaw nya ng marinig ang mga kasinungalingan nito, sapat na ang mga larawan at video na ipinadala sa kanya. For Christ sake, he's in q relationship with someone. And they are about to get married!

She still manage to cook for herself and eat, then pack her things and call the maintenace to clean her condo, empty the fridge and and ask them to keep those, she also leave her 2000 pesos to make sure na gaganahan itong linisin ang bahay nya.

She told her that she will return and just leave the keys to reception.

"When a man name, Luke Gabriel came here. Give him the access card and this folder" Sabi nya sa manager at iniabot doon ang envelope. It was sealed perfectly, galit sya sa binata pero may respeto parin sya dito.

Inside the envelope was a printed copy of the pictures and her old phone. She erase everything and the only thing in her phone is the video of Lucas and that girl, doing their things.

She ask someone to help her out with her luggage. When all is done she drove her car to her parents house.

"MOMMY please do me a favor. Please, For me?"

"What is it Dear?" sabi ng ina nya na nag aalala dahil sa namamaga nyang mata na kanina pa nyang pinupunasan dahil sa luhang umaagos mula doon

"Whatever happens please don't tell Lucas where I am, Just tell him I didn't contact you too. Please mom! For me?"

"Okay baby, but please explain to me what's going on"

"I'll be back mom. I'll tell you when I'm ready, but not today"

"Yes baby I will, I promise" with that assurance she stood up and ready to leave when her mom stopped her

"Where are you going? Can Mommy know? San ka pupunta?" nangungusap ang mga mata nitong tanong

"Sa Tagaytay po" she smile

"You'te running away again?" sabi nito ng malungkot

"I just need a breather, Mom. I'll be back after a year or so. you'll meet someone after that" she said and leave.

LUCAS was happy. He's from El Nido with his family. Noong nalaman kasi ng ina nya na pupunta sya doon at agad itong nagpabook ng flight para raw makapag enjoy at relax ang Daddy nya ganon din si Lucian kasama ang fiancè nitong si Faith at ang kanyang bunsong kapatid na si Febbie. Hindi nya na isinama si Aurum dahil ayaw nya itong pa-byahe-in mag isa.

Kagabi sila dumating, Saturday palang sana'y nakauwi na sila ngunit humirit pa ang ina nya ng isa pang araw. He can't say no dahil magtatampo ito, for sure.
