Collided by Fate

CHAPTER 7

FALINI

Nang matapos ang shift ko. Tulala akong naglakad pauwi sa apartment ko. Nang makarating don ay wala sa sarili akong pabagsak na naupo sa sofa.

I rested my head on the headrest of the sofa and grabbed a pillow. I hugged it tightly while my eyes is fixed on the ceiling. I bit my lips.

Araw araw ko na syang makikita. Makakasama ko rin sya kumain. I suppressed a smile. Hindi parin ako makapaniwala shet!

Pero nang maalala ang nalaman ko at ang nangyari kanina. Napapikit ako ng mariin at napakagat sa pillow. Biglang parang ayoko nang pumasok sa trabaho. Lagi ko pa naman sya sinasabihan ng kung ano ano sa language na yon.

Bigla naman ako nagsisi. Nakakahiya ka Falini! Lapastangang nilalang!

I shifted the way i sit while resting im head in the backrest of the sofa. I remember the way he stared at me earlier. Nakaka intimidate talaga ang way ng pag tingin nya. Para akong nilulusaw ng mga tingin nya pero. Grabe kinikilig talaga ako!

I also imagined myself in shock when realization hit me hard. I chuckled. Hindi ko na uulitin yung ganon. Grabe nilagay ko pa sa panganib ang hanap buhay ko. Buti nalang hindi ako pinatalsik sa hotel! Puro kasi kalokohan eh!

Zacharry Dean Jhonson. The CEO of Jhonsons Chain of Hotels. I smiled at that thought.

So sya pala ang may-ari ng mga grandyosong mga hotels ng kompanya na yon?! Grabe! Ang yaman nya pala! Parang ang taas taas nya.

Pero unti unti naman nawala ang ngiti ko ng may mapagtanto. He's the CEO of the hotel im working in. He's a billionaire. His name is worth billions. One of the important person here in london. His family is also known as one of the richest family here in london not just here but also in other countries. Specially in business world.

While me. Im just a normal citizen here. I have a happy family. A family that's rich in love but not literally rich as his. I can tell that I'm already successful but not as successful as him. I don't even own a business while him, he is a magnate. A tycoon. He's so damn handsome that everyone dies for his attention. While me. Im just me.

I bit my lip and continued thinking. Masyado yatang mataas ang pangarap ko. Malabong magkagusto sya sakin. Yes i am beautiful but with the looks he possessed? I can sense that his girls are a goddess like. Talo ako. I

I sighed in disappointment. Ang hirap ng pinasukan ko.

Alam ko hindi lang pagkagusto ang nararamdaman ko sakanya. I've never fell in love with someone before. But im not dumb to not know about it. It's something deeper. I just dont want to name it. It's useless anyway. Its hard to admit but. I know he doesn't feel the same and he wouldn't. Ever.

I never felt this small. I mean yes, physically im small. But i never felt like im nothing compare to the others. I always make sure to reach as high as they reached. But I guess this one is different.

I closed my eyes smiled sadly. Bakit ang hirap nya naman abutin.

Ang lungkot na nga ng apartment ko. Ang lungkot ko pa. And then my tears started to fall. Ang hirap. Nasasaktan ako ng ako lang ang may alam. Umiiyak ako ng ako lang din ang may alam. Ang hirap mag isa.

Nagising ako sa ring ng cellphone ko. Pinilit kong bumangon at abutin ang cellphone ko sa bedside table habang nakapikit.

I glanced at my phone. Napapikit ako sa liwanag but I still managed to check the time. Its 3am in the morning. I groaned. Ang aga pa.

My mama is calling. Napamulat naman ako agad and then I answered the call. Inayos ko na ang itsura ko bago humiga ulit at nag kumot. Malamig no!

"Nak!" Sigaw nya. Natawa naman ako. I almost forgot kahapon pala ang flight nya pabalik ng pilipinas. Im sure nasa bahay na sya ngayon.
"Nak! Nandito na ako sa Nueva Ecija. Tignan mo si kapitan, umiiyak."
