Chapter Eighteen

"Gusto kitang ligawan!"

"Gusto kitang ligawan!"

"Gusto kitang ligawan!"

"Gusto kitang ligawan!"

Tila ay para itong sirang plakang pabalik-balik sa aking isipan.

"Look, A-alam kong hindi masyadong maayos ang huli nating pag-uusap. Kaya gusto sana kitang imbitahing lumabas para naman makapag-usap-usap tayo!" Pambawi niya.

"We've been over for a long time, Justin. Don't you remember that?" napalakas kong saad. "Ikaw yung nakipaghiwalay!"

"Kaya nga lalabas tayo diba. Aayusin natin. Dette don't you figured it out. I'm still into you. I want you back!" He said in pleading voice.

"Sorry to say Justin but the feeling isn't mutual. I'm already into someone atsaka hindi ko na uulitin ang pagkakamali kong minahal kita,"

"Dette!" Namumungay ang kanyang mga mata.

"Labis mo akong sinaktan Justin. Iniwan mo pa ako sa ere. Lugmok ang buhay ko sa mga araw na iyon pero anong ginawa mo? Hindi ka bumalik. Kaya sa tingin mo babalikan pa kita? Hell No,"

"I'm really sorry for that Dette---Nagseselos lang talaga ako sa mga oras na iyon!"

I waved off my hands.

"Let's not talk about that. Kung wala ka lang rin namang sasabihin sa usaping business makakaalis kana. I still have a client next to you. At may boyfriend na ako kaya stop pestering me about going out with you,"

"Si Eric ba?" malumanay niyang tanong. Tumango ako. Ewan ko rin kung bakit alam niya ang pangalan ni Eric. "Well for that, I have to go. Thank you for the time!"

After a minute I called Mellisa to let the next client to come in.

"Hi!" My left brow raised ng makita ko ulit si Justin na pumasok. Akala ko ba 'y umuwi na siya. "May naiwan ka ba?"

"Wala naman," he beamed.

"Oh, Bakit ka ba bumalik? "I can't stop but to be sarcastic.

"Isn't it obvious Ms. Wood that I will be your next client,"

I stood up and went outside to check if Mellisa's still out there.

"Mellisa, Is he still my next client?"

Binuklat niya ang kanyang dalang folder at ipinakita sakin. "Yes,Ma'am,"

Frustated akong bumalik sa office. Kahit kailan talaga ang lalakeng ito.

"Make sure na usaping business na iyan, Justin. Ayoko nang magsayang pa ng oras. Maswerte kang tao dahil naisingit itong appointment mo sa higpit ng schedule ko,"

"Ganyan mo ba itinatrato ang client mo---Yes, Miss,"

I signaled him to start.

"Oh.. Yes. As the President of the DWY Company, I would like you to be my business partner. I know our company will fit very well at mine. I want you and your company to be our dealer and supplier,"

Napangiwi ako. Successful narin pala itong mokong kaya pala ang hangin.

He presented me a folder that contain a file about their company.

Makalipas ang ilang minutong pagpipilit niya sakin nadala narin ako sa mga pinagsasalita niya. He seems convincing so why not to catch. He have a taste in convincing people. Tsk. Kaya napapayag narin ako.

Mukhang mas ikabubuti rin kasi ng kompanya kapag may sangay ito at suporta sa karatig na kompanya which is sa kanila ni Justin.

"Ohh.. Geez. Yes!"
