The Way You Look At Me (VA Series 2)

"Where's Kuya? I have to talk to him now. Right now!"

The meeting with Engineer Santos just ended and swear, the atmosphere was suffocating! Napaka-awkward! I can't barely move freely na parang bawat kilos ko ay kalkulado. I can't even look him in the eye! I don't know if he felt the same pero para sa akin napaka-awkward pa rin!

After four years, ngayon nanaman kami ulit nagkita. I last saw him at my graduation. I don't know what he is doing there but I know hindi naman niya ako nakita. After that, we lost our communication. Wala na kaming naging ugnayan. I didn't even bother stalking him cause I really wanted o forget him.

I want to move on and I want to continue my life without him.

"Rish, sweetie, what's with that angry aura? Mom asked.

"I have to talk to Kuya right now! I am getting annoyed because of what he did! Ugh! He's getting into my nerves! Where is he ba kasi?!"

"Uhm... he is at his office." Mom said.

After my break up with Ryseann, wala akong ibang natakbuhan noon except for my friends and my family. Yeah, wala akong ibang natakbuhan noon kundi ang Mom ko. I really felt devastated after the time he left me and my Mom was at my side. Gusto daw niyang makabawi at wala naman akong pusong bato para ipagkait sa kanya yun. And that time, I really needed a family. A mom.

And that paved the way para magkaayos-ayos kami. Dad came back and Kuya also came back. Saka lang nila nalaman ang lahat ng napagdaanan ko nung nawala sila. I learned how to forgive them. Mom forgave Dad and Dad forgave Mom. Kahit ang dami naming napagdaanan, love and forgiveness still prevailed.

"Kuya!"

Walang habas akong pumasok sa office ni Kuya. Katabi lang ito ng bedroom niya and I don't care if I may disturb whatever he is doing. Minsan lang umuuwi dito si Kuya because he normally stays at his penthouse.

Mabuti nga at nandito siya kasi sasapakin ko talaga siya ng high heels ko!

"What now Rish?!" Iritableng sambit niya.

"Galet na galet, anak?" Dad asked.

"Yes, I am mad and I am sorry to disturb your meeting with Kuya, Dad. But I just have to talk to him cause he is making my blood boil!"

"Ano ba yun?" He asked again. He looked at his watch. "Ang aga naman atang natapos ng meeting mo? It's still 7:45."

"Maaga talagang matatapos dahil sa Engineer na kinuha mo."

I rolled my eyes at him and he was confused. Siguro, 20 minutes lang kaming nag-usap kanina dahil nahanda na niya ang lahat and I didn't have the guts to voice out. Wala nga akong masabi kasi super awkward talaga for me! Mukha akong idiot kanina na tango nalang ng tango without even staring at him!

Ewan ko nalang kung ano ang itsura ng restaurant ko niyan dahil hindi ko man lang nasabi ang thoughts ko!

I am really out of my mind that all I did was to just nod. Baka kanina, tinanong niya kung lalagyan niya ng resort yung resto ko tapos tumango nalang ako! Ugh! Ano ba kasi! Bakit kasi siya sa dinami-dami ng engineer sa mundo?!
