A Deferred Asset

Chapter 34

BREAKING NEWS: President and CEO of DZ Group of Companies have seen together with the famous supermodel Brianna Mathilda inside a 5-star restaurant in Pasay City.

IN PHOTOS: The couple are both smiling and happy.

Tumaas ang kilay ko matapos mabasa ang article na ipinakita ni Ishaani sa akin. Tinanong pa niya ako kung hiwalay na ba kami pero hindi eh. Kaya agad kong kinuhanan ng litrato ang phone ni Ishaani kung saan doon ko nabasa ang tungkol sa dating issue ni Darxon kasama ang isang model.

Without hesitation, I send it to him with a sarcastic message.

To: DZ
Seen together huh?

It's been 5 months since we've been together. It was just a chill relationship at first, where he understands me and I understands him too. He's a very busy person knowing that he holds lot of companies, but he still have time for me. In fact, even if he's out of the country for business meeting and some conference, he still give time to checked me out and to asked me how I'm doing. It was just like that for the first 3 months and we get to know each other more inside the 3 months of being in a relationship.

But, for the following months, it has been rough. We've encountered a lot of problems and sometimes I overthink about what will happen the next day having those problems. He get stressed most of the time, but I try to understand him and will just adjust because I know handling a lot of companies isn't easy, and will never be easy. I'm trying to be his support system as his girlfriend pero minsan gusto ko na ring sumuko kasi hindi ko na rin siya naiintindihan minsan, pero patuloy pa rin kaming kumapit at umabot ng limang buwan.

Ngunit kaakibat ng mga problemang nararanasan namin ay ang mga dating issue niya. Masyado siyang sikat when it comes to the business industry and a lot of girls are dreaming to be his girl, because who's not? Nakakainis na rin minsan at nakakairita na may iba't-ibang dating rumor araw-araw na nagmumukha na siyang celebrity dahil dito. Dine-deny naman niya ito, pero ang init ng dugo ng chismis sa kanya at hindi siya nilulubayan ng mga dating rumor na siyang nakakairita na rin, knowing that I'm a jealous person.

Agad naman akong nakatanggap ng tawag mula sa kanya, pero dahil naiinis ako, hindi ko ito sinagot at piniling itago sa drawer.

Umagang-umaga naiinis ako, araw-araw nalang. I'm so done with all of his dating rumors.

Itinuon ko nalang ang atensyon sa trabahong nasa harap ko at tinapos ito kasabay ng pagtama ng oras sa alas-singko.

I got my things and was about to go when I suddenly remembered my phone from the drawer. I got it and as soon as I opened it, it reveals a lot of calls and messages from the same person. I heavily sighed and slid it into my bag and went to Ishaani.

"Bakit sasabay ka ata ngayon sa akin?" Tanong niya nang palapit na kami sa elevator.

"Wala kang kasama eh." Nagkibit-balikat ako.

"Sanay na akong mag-isa." She spoke about her heartache which I laughed off. We then entered the elevator and I wasn't shock to be welcomed with questions by the chismosang employees in the area.

"Hiwalay na ba kayo ni sir DZ?"

"Totoo po ba yung balita tungkol sa kanila noong supermodel?"

"Nakita niyo na ba yung balita?"

Huminga nalang ako ng malalim at nagkibit-balikat. Pinipilit ko ang sarili kong hindi mainis pero nag-iinit talaga ang ulo ko sa tuwing may magpapaalala sa akin tungkol doon.

Tumahimik narin naman sila at wala akong pakialam kung ano mang sasabihin nila. Pagod na ako sa walang humpay na chismis araw-araw at hindi na ako magugulat kung iba na namang chismis ang maririnig ko bukas.
