Forbidden Love

Chapter 17

NAGISING SI SHEENA AT mabilis na tumakbo patungong banyo tsaka doon nagduduwal. Matapos no'n ay nagmugmug siya at nanghihinang bumalik sa kan'yang kama.

It's just 5:50 a.m.

She'd been like this these past few days. Nagigising dahil nasusuka at manghihina. Its making her feel irritated and tired. Naiinis siya kasi wala naman siyang kinakain na masama para sa kalusugan at napapagod sa hindi malamang dahilan.

Panay ang hinga niya nang malalim bago tumayo at lumabas ng kan'yang silid. Tinahak niya ang daan patungong kusina. Wala pa siyabg nakikitang gising na kaya napakatahimik ng bahay.

Nang nakarating ay binuksan niya ang ref at naghanap ng makakain. Nang makakita ng strawberry ay agad niya itong kinuha at hinugasan tsaka hiniwa ng dalawang beses. Pagkatapos ay kinuha niya ang fresh milk at pinaghalo ang dalawa sa isang malaking baso.

Her mouth watered at the sight of strawberry milk. Matapos ilagay sa sink ang mga pinanggamitan ay naglakad siya pabalik sa kan'yang silid at umupo sa kama. While sipping her drink, she reach out her hand to get the remote that was placed in the bedside table and turn on the television.

At dahil maaga pa lang ay wala pang masyadong palabas. Ilang beses na rin siyang nagpalit ng channel na naglalaman ng balita.

She felt bored but when she heard something interesting, her eyes settled on the tv screen. Its was Roldan—getting inside his company.

"Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin nagsasalita si Mr. Mañero tungkol sa mga nangyayari. He was silent, as so as his family to this issue. But his secretary stated that he's doing every thing in his hands to make the company stays still.

Napakunot ang noo niya. What issue? At bakit parang nagkakagulo ang mga ito? Ano bang nangyayari?

Mas lalong tumuon ang atensyon siya sa pinapanuod nang makita ang kinikilala niyang Ina. This... She think that this was taken yesterday. When she saw her mother arriving the house with an angry face.

Kaya ba ito galit dahil sa mga nangyayari ngayon?

"About the deal? Well, we are still talking about it." Sambit ng kan'yang ina. "Pero kapag lumala pa 'tong problema na ito, tatapusin ko kaagad ang napagusapan namin. There will be no wedding and I will end the engagement." Huling sambit nito at nilisan ang lugar. Leaving the reporters shouting out their follow up questions.

Then she heart the news anchor's voice. "We already know that Mañero's company was part of the rank 50 with the most rich business who earns about Milions in a week. Pero ngayon, dahil sa mga nangyayari, bumaba ang kanilang market sales at hindi na sila nabibilang pa sa rankings kung saan kabilang ang mga mayayaman at successful na business man."

Then the news ended with Jace spotted going out from Mañero's Company.

Napatitig si Sheena sa tv. Gulong gulo siya sa mga nangyayari. Is it the reason why her mom—her foster mom— and Dad were auguring yesterday? Bakit ang daming nangyayari ngayon na hindi niya alam?

And about the issue. What issue are they talking about?

Napabuntong hininga nalang siya at inubos ang strawberry milk. Pagkatapos ay pinatay niya ang tv at naglakad palabas ng kwarto. She was walking her way to the kitchen when she saw her father walking towards her direction. Mukhang sa taas ang tungo nito.

When he saw her, his forehead knot when he notice the empty big glass she's holding. "What did you drink?"

"Strawberry milk." She answered and was about to walk pass him when she heard him spoke.
