Ambiguous Love

Chapter 2

"Sure ka?! Crush mo si Frausten? Eh playboy yun eh!" malakas na sigaw ni Hazel sakin

"Ssshhhhh! Whats that noise?" tanung ng librarian

Napatingin naman samin ang mga tao dito sa loob mg library

"Sorry po ma'am" paghingi ko ng paumanhin sa librarian

Binalingan ko naman ng tingin si Hazel "Di mo naman kailangan na sumigaw diba? Nakakahiya tuloy"

Tumayo na ako at niligpit ang mga gamit ko, andito ako ngayon sa library. Naghahanap kasi ako ng bagong recipe para sa presentation ko.

"Aalis kana?" tanung sakin ni Hazel habang kumakain ng burger.

"Oo, may klase pa ako." at nilagay ko na sa balikat ko ang bag ko tatalikod na sana ako ng may biglang may nag salita

"Sam Abegail Mercado?"

I know this voice, i know his voice.

"Something is wrong with the papers, hindi tugma ang inventory ni Rica at nang branch sa Taguig" sabi sakin ni Tita Margie at tinapon ang folder sa mesa ko.

I hurriedly look at the paper and i notice the problem. I look at her

"I will look into it ma'am. Dont worry I will fix this before ang presentation natin sa board members." I told her

I'm so busy this past few days dahil sa delay ng shipment ng mga ingredients at materials para sa bubuksan na restaurant sa La Union Branch.

"You should be, you know my brother she dont want any mistake coming from you." she look at me with disgust.

She' s my Aunt, the younger sister of my father. Since then yung mga relatives ni Daddy dispise me. They never accept me as there family member.

"Yes po Tita. Pasensya na po." I stand up  and walk going towards her "Ihahatid ko na po kayo palabas ma'am."

"No need, i know the way out. Before I forgot, i heard from Kuya na ikaw ang pakakasalan ng anak ng Frausten and not my niece. Are you planning something?" she look at me suspicious

"I- I just did it kasi Betty told me to do so, I dont have any intentions. I just want to help D- daddy." she laugh

"Hmm.... Well see." she turn her back, walk towards the door and leave

I hold back my tears and sit down on the sofa inside my office.

Huminga ako ng malalim. I already get used to it. Pero kahit na masakit parin sa part ko na wala silang tiwala sakin. They always see me as a mistake.

I stand up and get back to my desk when my phone ring

"Agnes napatawag ka?" i ask Agnes as i answer the phone. Bat kaya napatawag tung babaeng to

("Gosh! Wala man Hi or Hello! Well, lets go sa bar mamaya,ay bagong bukas kasi malapit sa condo ko, at dun ka nalang din matulog") sabi sakin ni Agnes. I have lot of things to do.

"I can't- (" I dont take no for an answer Sam, for once have fun, kahit ngayong gabi lang please.") she pleaded. I can already imagine kung anung itsura ni Agnes ngayon.

"Ok...ok.. San bang bar nayan?" i said as I surremderto her request. If i know hindi rin naman ako titigilan ng babaeng to.

("I'll text you the time and address bye!") then she end the call

I sighed. Maybe its not bad, to give time to myself. Almost 1 year narin mula ng nakapunta ako ng bar. Simula nung naging kami ni Allan di na ako natungtung ng bar. Binawalan niya ako.

I'll have fun tonight, just this night.

"LETS CHEERS kasi sa wakas kasama na natin si Sam mag bar!!!" sigaw ni Agnes habang itinataas ang baso niya

Lasing na yata tung babaeng to, pansin kong kanina pa siya umiinom, mukha may problema yata.

Andito kami ngayon sa Escape Bar sa may Ayala. I think its not just an ordinary bar. May mga nakilala akong kilalang tao sa showbiz, at ilang anak ng pulitiko. Its an high-end bar.

"Oo nga!! Lets get wasted tonight girls!! Magpapa kangkang ako ngayon may nakita na akong flavor for the night" hagikgik ni Janet habang tinutungga ang isnag bote ng Jack Daniels

"Sayaw na tayo bilis!!!" sabi naman ni Charlene at hinila si Janet at Agnes

Nang nakaalis na ang tatlo naiwan naman kami nila Hazel, Mari and Mary. We were 7 sa grupo namin. Kami ni Hazel and Agnes are chiefs, model naman si Janet at Charlene while ang kambal na sina Mari and Mary are Engineers.

Nagkakilala kami sa Orientation sa school way back when were on our freshmen year. We attend to the same school kaya hindi naman mahirap samin na magkasama sa mga mga gala.

"Loosen up Sam, have fun tonight. Iniisip mo masyado ang work." sabi naman ni Mari sakin habang umiinom ng Bacardi while Mary is having cocktail like mine.

"Im having fun, hindi lang ako magpapakalasing, i have lot of papers to do." i told her as I look at my friends who were dancing

"Wag niyo nang pilitin yang si Sam, parang hindi niyo naman kilala yan" sabi naman ni Mary while she was doing something on her phone

"if thats the case, isang shot ng Barcardi naman dyan Sam" sabi ni Mari at inaabot sakin ang shot glass. I dont drinks hard drinks. Hanggang cocktail lang ang kaya ko

"I can't, ok na ako sa cocktail." i smile and push away her hands with the shot glass on it

"You badly need this. Andito si Allan at Glaiza." she said and i turn where she is looking. 2 tables from us, nandon si Allan at kandong niya si Glaiza they were making out.

"That bastard!! Nakakagigil! Palagi kitang sinsabihan diba na that guy is a douchebag!" galit na sabi ni Hazel habang naktingin din kina Allan.

Damn. It hurts.

"He didnt love you Sam" prangkang sabi naman ni Mary. Thats the cool thing about Mary she's straightforward and that hits me.

Yeah, he didnt love me. Ang tanga ko.

With that, kinuha ko ang shot glass ni Mari at tinungga iyon.

Ang pait naman ng alak na to

Pero mas masakit parin ang puso ko parang pinipiga ito. Damn Sam! You'll get drunk.

I look at Allan ang Glaiza again. Ang sakit grabe, i want this pain to fade. Inabot ko yung bite ng Bacardi at tinungga

"Sam!" sabay na tawag ni Hazel at Mari sakin habang si Mary naman ay tumatawa "Let her. She needs it." sabi naman ni Mari habang nakangiti sakin.

Damn you Allan!! I'll enjoy this night and forget you!!
