“Mr. Tuazon, since Mr. Mortez is not arround. I’m here to inform you about illegal transfer of huge amount of money to unknown bank account. It looks like someone from the Mortez Group of Company is fishing out money secretly. To clarify and prove this allegation you must see this evidence for yourself. It indicates all the exact transaction of MGC throughout last month. If you are wondering on how we get this information, we checked your security system. At first something bug in your system it’s like someone already been hacking it. Thus, it’s easy to hack it. Our department already fix your system and to secure this we tried to enhance more its system. Don’t worry about it. Another thing this documents is the evidence we have about the 10% of share in the company that has been secretly missing and been transfer to this unknown man. Unfortunately, this happens a month ago and we don’t have a lead about this man.” Mr. Viernes said and an investigator/System Supervisor from MGC.

Because Zach is not here I’ve been in charge on his transaction either personal or in business. Now, this is suck.

I scan the documents pages by pages. Damn! It’s a huge amount of money! Who would possibly do this?

Not only is the missing money the problem here but a huge one. Fuck! 10% of share is a big deal here!

If Zach would see this, he’ll be mad.

And I know the feeling. I’m raging. Kahit pa hindi ko ito kompanya ay nagagalit rin ako sa gumawa nito. Dugo’t pawis ang nilaan ng kaibigan ko just to protect this company and now this unknown man came and ruin his hard work.

“Can you still trace this man? I mean we need to know who this man is.” I frustrated said.

Man, this is a huge trouble.

“We’re trying sir.”

“Try harder.” I spat at him.

Tumango lang ito tsaka nagpaalam na umalis ng office ni Zach. Napahilot ako ng sintido ko.

What should I do? Should I inform Zach about this?

He needs to know.

“I know you wouldn’t accept this marriage. You don’t love him, do you?”

I saw sadness in her beautiful eyes.

“What is it to you? You are out of this and mind your own business.” She spat to me. Every word of her sounds trembling and full of frustration.

This lovely girl whom I love is suffering right now. Damn that old man! He puts her in this difficult situation. If I could only tell her how much I love her. Heck I can’t risk our friendship just because I have feelings for her. She’ll leave me when she knew it.

And its sucks! Fucking sucks!

I walk closer to her and then put my hands around her. At first, she tried to get away but it the end she give in.

I just love how close we were. By just her scent calms my raging nerves.

“If you want to escape, I’ll support you. You’re my f-friend so I’m into this. Your business is my business too. I won’t let you suffer alone. I’m always here remember that.” Seryoso kong sabi.

Hindi siya kumibo. I felt her hands encircle on my waist. Her head now is in my chest. I felt her shoulders shanking frantic indicating that she is crying.

I felt my heart move and something deep inside me is being prod. I heave a sigh to calm. I really hate it when she cry. It pains me.

I rub her head to calm her. Ramdam ko na ring basa ang gamit kong tshirt.

“Shhh…it will be okay. I’m here.” Pag aalo ko.

Natigilan ako nang bahagya itong magsalita. At first, I can’t hear what she say dahil napakahina ng pagkasabi nito.

“What is it?” I asked her to repeat what she said earlier.

Maliliit na hikbi nalang ang naririnig ko. Dahan dahan itong nag angat ng mukha sakin. Gusto kong mapangiti dahil sa mukha nitong parang bata. Mapula ang ilong at pisngi nito at ang mga mata niyang bakas ang pag iyak. Marahan kong pinahid ang isang luhang naglandas sa pisngi nito.

I wanted to kiss away her pain but I know my place. I should just stay to that place and will not cross the line.

“Cebi…I-I…Ahm…I-In love with…” She trace but suddenly stop. She look away.

Something poke my chest. She has a lover already…

I don’t think I have the strength to hear her more.

Nasasaktan nako. Pain cross my eyes but I blink that away. Baka Makita pa niya.

“W-who?” I nervously said.

Fuck! Where this courage come from?

No! I don’t want t-to listen—

“You.” Ellena
