Chasing You

Chapter 19

Grill

Patuloy parin kami sa pagatatrabaho at pag sasagawa ng mga plinano ko. Inanunsyo narin ng mga Caravin na dalawang linggo mula ngayon ay ikakasal na si Elianiere kay Davin.  Tahimik lang ang kampo ni Davin sa mga balita. Evereen told me that it was all Davin's decision hindi nalang ako umimik.

Hindi ko rin alam kung ano ang pinaplano ni Davin. He said he loves but why the hell is he getting married maybe his really playing around. Too bad I don't bother if he gets married because I can still have him. Rian may not but Amberianna can get everything she wanted. And it so happens that it was me. Huwag kang talagang malaman ng Casa Lavista ang pinaggagawa ko dito dahil paniguradong lagot ako.

Kailangan ko lang makasigurado na mahal niya ako dahil kung mangyaring mahal niya talaga ako at hindi dahil sa dalawang babaeng sinasabi niya na kamukha ko, maghahabol ako. If he really do love me then I'll chase him. I'll get him because I know I can. And I know I'm falling.

"Ma'am, Mr. Farron wants to have a conversation with you should I send him in?" Saad ni Ria muka sa intercom. Sumagot naman ako at binigyan siya ng permisong papasukin ang bisita. 

Hindi na ako nag abalang tumayo o tapunan man lang ng tingin ang pumasok. Ramdam ko rin naman na ang presensya niya. Marahan siyang naglakad palapit sakin. Wala ng upuan sa harap ng lamesa ko kaya tumayo siya sa harap ko, ibinaba ko ang binabasang dokumento tungkol sa pagtatayo ng maliliit naming branch sa Cavite, Laguna, at Tagaytay.

"How may I help you Mr. Farron?" Deretsahan kong tanong sa kanya. Hindi siya umimik ng ilang minuto bago nagsalita ulit at sinabi ang sadya.

"I just want to ask something."

Kunot noo ko siyang tinitigan saka sinagot, "About what?"

"Niccollius Lavista Laxamana, Cavin Lavista and that Marquess Everson is a part of the board members. I am just curious I've been wanted to ask this since the day Ibsaw them, how that thing happens?"

Huminga ako ng malalim at nanatiling kalmado. Isinandal ko ang likod ko sa sandalan ng swivel chair ko at tinitigan muli ang kaharap.  Nakatingin lang din sa akin si Mr. Farron, naghihintay ng isasagot ko.

"May I know, how did you know them first? I mean you seems like you follow their where-abouts in news and social media."

"A Laxamana, Lavista and Marquess. Can you please tell me Ms. Gozon who wouldn't know them especially if you are running a business?"

"So it was all because of business?"

Nothing personal? Like digging for any information that will lead to me at the edge of the wall?

"Yes. I didn't doubt that you can really save the company because look at it right now, right? But it was surprising and terrifying to know that those three are memberes of our board of directors."

Ipinaling ko ang ulo ko pakaliwa at tiningnan lang siya. Nakatingin parin siya sakin. Bagay na hindi ko magawa ng maayos kay Davin. I can't stare at him and he can stare all along because he felt more comfortable while I don't and I'm clueless why.

And why am I thinking about him right now?

"Why did you think it's terrifying? May I know why are you bothered about it?"

"They are all monsters. I'm just thinking if one of these days they will only use Laza's fuel for thier own benefits. We might fall again."

Umupo ako ng tuwid at napangisi sa kanya. Kumunot ang noo niya dahil sa nakitang reaksyon sa mukha ko. Kinuha ko ang ballpen sa harap ko ay isang blankong papel. Marahan kong isinulat ang buong pangalan ni Nicco. Nakita kong kumunot lalo ang noo niya.
