Just Maybe, (Squad Series #1)

Chapter 29

Control my thoughts.
Convincing myself it's your loss.
I really mean it, and I'm starting to believe it.

"Red, wake up. You have a visitor." Crisa slightly tapped my cheek but I was too sleepy to open my eyes.

"Ikaw na ang bahala kung sino man, i'm still sleepy." Inaantok na tugon ko sa kaniya.

"Ikaw ang hinahanap, Red. Sige na kasi, babain mo na." She insisted.

Inis akong bumangon saka inaantok na kinusot ang mata.

"Fine! Sabihin mo mag-aayos lang ako." Sino ba kasi 'yun? A designer perhaps? Or an old acquaintance? Sino ba naman kasi ang bibisita sa akin dito sa Korea?

Tumango siya at iniwan na ako roon. Kahit labag sa loob ay tumayo na ako para maligo at mag ayos. Tuloy ay mainit agad ang ulo ko pagbaba.

I almost stopped walking when I saw an unexpected guest.

"What are you doing here?" Inis na sabi ko sa lalaking prente ang pagkakaupo sa sofa

The man in front of me in his white button down long sleeves, black slacks, and black leather shoes is definitely more mature. Gone is the boyish model vibe, he seems more like a serious business man now.

Also, his body became more toned. Hindi ganoong ka-bulky at hindi 'rin payat. Just muscles on the right places.

Tumangkad 'rin siya. I think he was more or less 5'11 before but now he's definitely 6'0 or taller. More than enough to tower my 5'7 height.

But what I have really noticed is the change in his eyes. He was always readable before. But now, I can't even read what's on his mind. He looked cold and passive.

I creased my forehead when I realized that my heart started beating abnormally with just the sight of him. Sinubukan kong kumalma saka siya sinamaan ng tingin.

"I said, what are you doing here Mr. Marasigan?" I asked him again.

"You said you want an appointment? I'm a busy person so I decided I will just visit you during my free time here. Magpasalamat ka na lang at pinaunlakan kita." He answered.

Halos mapabuga ako ng hangin sa inis. The audacity of this jerk?

"Well, sorry to burst your bubble but I never said that I wanted to meet you." I said through gritted teeth.

Nakakainis! Parang ako pa ang may gusto na pumunta siya dito. Kung pwede nga lang na huwag na kaming magkita kahit kailan.

"Is that so?" He asked.

"Yes. I already told you what I want. I only need you to get rid of the guards! Bakit nandito ka ngayon?" Inis kong sabi saka siya pinaningkitan ng mata.  "And how do you know that i'm staying here? How did you know our house's location?"

Tumikhim siya at umiwas ng tingin bago sumagot. "I asked your Dad."

He asked my Dad? They're on good terms now? Bakit hindi ko alam? What the hell is happening?

"You what?" Nagugulat kong tanong.

"I asked your Dad, what's the matter about it? Can't I ask him?" Kalmadong aniya.

I laughed mockingly. "Ginagago mo ba ako? You really had to show yourself to me after cheating? Wow!" Sarkastiko akong pumalakpak. "And you act as if nothing happened. Great!"
