Tying The Severed Strings

11

I'm currently at the main lobby of this cruise. Nag-iisip isip patungkol sa nagawa kong katangahan kanina at sa mga huling salita na sinabi sa akin ni Talia before I left her at our suite. Isn't it funny? That I turned around towards her direction after she said those words that wrecked me but then she wasn't facing me anymore? Mukhang ayaw niya na nga talaga sakin. Who wouldn't be, right? Pero tangina, ang sakit. Ang sakit sakit. 

I know I'm totally fucked up. Damn, yes, I am! Sinong tanga ang gagawa ng ginawa ko?! I fucking hate myself for doing something like that to Talia! Napaka-tanga ko! Tangina. Kaya nga hindi na nakakapagtakang ayaw niya na sakin lalo eh, pero fuck! I need her to just stay still and stay by my side and I will make everything right! Pero kailangan ko pa ng oras. Unting oras lang naman.

I was still being retributive about what I did when someone surprisingly showed up in front of me and spoke. " Oh! Who would have thought I'll meet you here tonight, Nathan! Fancy meeting you here!" He said while smiling at me. Damn, ngayon pa talaga?!

"A pleasure to meet you here too, Kian. I suppose your the representative from the Altriga Group of Company since I didn't saw your father earlier. Did I guessed that right?" I asked in a very friendly and accommodating way though I don't really want to talk to him right now. Sa lahat naman kasi ng panahon na kakailanganin kong kausapin siya, kung kailan hindi kami okay ni Talia. But what can I do right? I can't just act rude and leave him here. It might cause rumors  about me being a rude and cold person. I mean, I can surely act like that in front of this jerk but not this time. Talk about professionalism.

"So, Nathan, I thought you'll be making this party, you know, a little rowdy but look how peaceful and boring this party is right now." He said, ridiculing me. I really hate his guts and how he act. He just thinks so highly of himself kahit hindi naman dapat. Pathetic.

I calmed myself down before asking what he mean by his statement. "What do you mean I'll be making this party rowdy?" I asked, faking my confusion because I think I've got a clue about what he's saying.

"Because I thought you'll bring your wife here but I can't seem to.. find her? Why though? Ah! Let me guess, the woman you hired to pretend escaped and left you?" Kian stated. Thought so. I got the hint that he's talking about me taking Talia here dahil sinabi ko nga iyon sa isang interview nuong nakaraan. He was smirking and holding his laugh. The nerve of this stupid son of Mr. Rodriguez. Acting all so mighty but can't even run their family's company.

I was gritting my teeth but again, I calmed myself down. He's not worth it, Nathan. Don't waste your time sa isang basurang katulad niya. "Did you arrived late, Kian? 'Cause you know, it's really a let down that you didn't get to see my drop-dead gorgeous wife. And no, I did not hire her to pretend. I hired her to be married to me with the rest of my life, must be wonderful no? And of course you won't be able to see her right now cause she's taking a nap, at our suite." I said. His forehead creased for a moment then he laughed at what I said--- which didn't sit well for me.
