Chapter Twelve: alcohol and regrets

Mavis' POV
Two days had passed since I dumped Flare. Yes, I dumped two men already: Ruxinaire and Flare. How ironic right? Those two men became close to me and now, they're being cold to me.

Hindi ako pinapansin ni Flare sa dalawang araw. Hindi rin niya ako sinusundo so I need someone to pick me up dahil wala naman akong sariling sasakyan maliban sa motorsiklo kong nasa Pilipinas, located inside the huge parking garage of the Furrer Mansion to be exact. Yes, ganoon po kayaman ang pamilyang Furrer.

Kahit sa opisina ay nilalampasan lang ako ni Flare at kinakausap niya lang ako if it was business matters o may ipapagawa siya sa akin related sa business but we never talk about anything else more than that at iyon ang na-wei-weird-uhan ako.

And also, the weird thing is, mayroong bali-balita na nagkaayos na raw si Olivia at Flare. Some said they saw Flare and Olivia making out in Flare's office which I would not believe if I have no real confirmation. The only way to find out was to go to Flare's office and invade their privacy, as spies do (kahit 'di naman ako spy).

I know Flare more than anyone at alam kong mahal niya ako so why do you make out with another woman if you still love someone else? Well, naagawa na naman niya sa akin 'yon dati, why expect na hindi niya uulitin 'yon, right? 

Anyways, to make things short, I would not believe in such things as rumors. Malay mo gawa-gawa lang nila 'yon, 'di ba?

And I haven't seen Olivia walking passed through the top floor's corridors unless hindi ko lang talaga siya nakita.

Suddenly, my phone vibrated through mg pantaloon's pocket. Kinuha ko iyon, baka sakaling nag-text sa akin si Ire tungkol sa mga anak ko.

Pero ang hula ko'y mali pala. It was a message from Flare saying that he needs something from me and ask me to come to his office.

Mabagal akong lumakad paputang office niya. Mag-a-alas-onse na ng tanghali tapos kailangan niya pa ako sa opisina niya. Does he not know na lunch time na?

Napairap ako na lumapit sa counter ng sekretarya niya at tinanong kung ano ang kailangan sa akin ng boss niya.

The secretary frowned as she searched for my name. "You're not on the list, Miss Throver," anunsyo nito sa akin.

"Thank you," sabi ko at tumalikod sa sekretarya bago mag-isip.

Is it a wrong send? Hindi. My name's in there when he sent it at number pa niya nag nakalagay so imposibleng fake message iyon o wrong send man lang.

Tumingin ako sa sekretarya. "I'll go inside the boss' office," anunsyo ko sa kanya at mabilis akong lumapit sa pintuan.

"W-Wait, Ms. Throver. Mr. Furrer said--"

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang unti-unting bumukas ang pinto at nakita ko ang senaryo sa loob.

Napalunok ako at hindi ko maalis ang tingin ko sa dalawang naglalampugan sa desk ni Flare.

Sinarado ko nang malakas na malakas ang pintuan bago huminga ng malalim.

It pains me pero kakayanin ko silang makitang naglalampugan at nagpapainit ng sari-sarili nilang mga katawan.

Habang humahakbang ako palapit sa kanila ay mas lalo akong nakakaramdam ng bigat sa dibdib ko.

Kaya mo 'to, Mavis. Kaya mong pigilan ang sakit.

They're in a dog position and I can't keep my eyes off of them even though I want to dahil nandidiri na ako sa 'king nakikita. I saw Flare's cell phone on the sofa. Malapit doon ang dress na suot ni Olivia. There's also Flare's blazer behind the couch and a necktie hanging in the back's supporter of the couch.
