Ruling the Undefined Feelings (COMPLETED)

Chapter THIRTEEN

Chapter THIRTEEN

Unexpectedly

After gathering all of the facts and interviewing all of the victims in the issue that our segment focuses on, our executive producer calls my attention. Presentiment slowly develop on my heart when I slowly march on my way to his office. Do I have any mistakes? Is something wrong with my work? This questions slowly envelop on my mind though I did my very best when it comes to my career. Minsan na kasi akong napagalitan ng EP namin noon. I can't control myself to feel scared.

"Good morning sir." I greeted him when I entered to his office. He looks so busy with all the paper works on his table. He slowly raised his head when he notice my presence at the door.

"Come in." he uttered and I closly went on his table.

"Do you need anything from me sir?" tanong ko ng nakalapit na.

"Well nothing, but I just want to congratulate you for another job is finally done. It's a successful topic after all." he smiled widely and extended his hand to congratulate me.

"Really sir? It's nice to hear it. Thank you." I happily stated. I don't expect this.

"No, I'm the one who need's to say thanks to you. Your such an intelligent and hard working woman." he complimented.

"It's my job sir so I need to take responsibilities with it." I said.

"Yes, but your totally good at it, your different from your colleagues." he commented.

"I take that as a complement sir." I replied shyly.

For the past few weeks I focused on my work para kahit ni minsan mawala rin sa isipan ko si Ivan. But then, how can I avoid him when he always sent me my favorite flowers everyday. As much as I wanted to avoid him hindi ko naman magawa. After what had happen on the bar naging casual na rin kami sa isa't-isa, bumalik na yung dati kung turing sa kanya but then I don't want to show that I like him back. I just want to put things slowly, in the right place at a right time and I think hindi pa ngayon yun. One time when I finished my work earlier nagpaalam agad ako sa aming manager na umuwi ng maaga 'cause Im not totally feeling well.

"Jen, Lex mauna na ako sa inyo." I bid them goodbye after asking permision to our manager.

"Are you sure that your fine? I can give you a ride Cath." Lexin offered.

"Oo nga girl, you don't look fine at all. Your so pale." Jennie said.

"I'm fine. Thank you for your concern anyways, but I can handle myself." I explained to them. "I should get going now!" I grab my coat and leave the office.

When I got outside, I decided to just drop by some medicine in the pharmacy, maybe it can help myself. After I got them and paid, I turn around on my way but accidentally I bump into someone's chest.

"Oh gosh that hurts." I uttered. "I'm sorry I didn't notice someone behi..." I wasn't able to finish my statement. My world stopped when I saw who's standing in front of me.

"Are you okay? I'm sorry it's my fault." his manly voice echoed on my ear. 'Wake up Cathrine!'

"Ahh, Yes I'm fine." I answered him when I finally came back to my senses.

"I don't think you are, you look so pale. What's wrong with you?" he said with concern look etched in his eyes.

"I'm totally fine Ivan, sige mauna na ako." I was about to stepped out when he blocked my way.

"Just let me drove you home." he said in a bossy tone.

"I preferred riding with a taxi." I insisted.

"I can give you a ride also so let's go." he said and walk ahead leading the way to his SUV. I have no choice, so I followed him.

"Get in." he swiftly open the door of his car when we arrived.

"Thanks." I nodded.

I was about to went in when I felt dizzy, I hold my head for support but then I fell down into someone's arms and everything went black after all.

I slowly open my eyes and found myself in a dim room. The only light is the lampshade in the table near the bed. I gazed every corner and noticed that this isn't my condo. The walls are all dirty white and their are some famous painting of the famous ancient artist. I noticed a family picture in the left corner of the wall. The door slowly open and I saw Ivan.
I'm in his house! That's what I realized.

"Gising ka na pala."

"What happened and why I'm here?" I asked him as he entered the room.

"You collapsed in the parking lot when I was about to brought you home, I don't know your address that's why I just bring you here." he explained everything.

"Just eat your dinner first." pigil niya sa pag-alis ko.

"Sa condo nalang ako kumain, I had brought foods for myself anyway."

"Dito kana kumain, just this time. I've cooked already."

"Fine." pumayag nalang ako. I don't want to fight him over just a silly things.

After our dinner he brought me home. The whole ride was actually fine, we talked a little bit until we arrived. I then bid my goodbye and thank him. I was about to go out of his car when he holds my hand. I saw the sincerity in his eyes as he look at me.

"Are you still afraid?" he said.

"Afraid for what?" I asked confused, I don't have any idea what his talking all about.

"To love again." he said seriously.

"Ivan, I'm just...ahh... I just don't want to risk again." I don't know if that's the correct word that best describes to what I felt. Yes I love him. I'm not numb to just don't feel it, but I'm just afraid to reveal it.

"Cath I'm sure with my feelings for you, you would not risk if you'd love me back. You already know that I love you so bad Cath." he stated.

"Ivan, I... I love you too but..." I confessed but I can't able to finished my statement anymore because he already hug me tightly. Every time he hugged me I felt more safer in his arms. I felt that there is an electricity running through my veins as his arms wrapped around me and the butterflies in my stomach slowly envelop.
