Seducing my Gay Fianceé (COMPLETED)

Chapter Thirteen.

"BA'T KULANG 'TO?! SA NAALALA KO, I HANDED NYO SIX FOLDERS, RIGHT?!"

Marahan akong napapikit. I feel defeated. Kasalanan ko 'to. Pinabayaan ko lang ang mga folders na nakalatag sa mesa ko knowing how important that were!

Tapos ang nawala pa ay ang papers about the sales growth of this month. Napasabunot ako sa sarili kong katangahan.

"ANSWER ME! AYAN KASI, INUUNA ANG LANDI!"

How could she? She doen't have the rights to said that to me! Magulang ko nga hindi ako sinasabihan ng ganyan and here she is, finally have the guts to slap me by her words.

Napakuyom ako ng kamay. Sasagot na sana ako nang biglang dumating si Sir Carlos.

"What's happening here?" Carlos curiously asked.

I heard Gwen harshly scoffed.

"I handed her the folders this morning for her to encode it, tapos ngayon, nang kunin ko na, kulang! Nawawala 'yung folder na naglalaman ng mga sales!" she said na parang batang nagsusumbong kay Carlos.

"Its not her fault. Magkasama kami kanina during lunch. Baka may kumuha lang." kalmadong saad ni Carlos sa kanya.

"Its her stupidity's fault!" nangagalaiting sabi ni Gwen.

Konti nalang talaga at dadapo na sa kanya 'tong kamay ko. Kalma, self. Kalma. You should at least act professional at huwag gagayahin si Gwen na ganito trumato ng empleyado. Feeling CEO. Amp.

"Gwen! Don't you ever insult someone like that. Who are you to say that thing to her?" Carlos said and I can tell that he's angry now.

Natahimik naman si Gwen dahil 'dun. Hindi na sya nakasagot at yumuko nalang. I mentally thanked Carlos for that. I've never been insulted like that in my entire life. No one dared to call me stupid. Not even my parents.

"Charm, you can go back to your table now. Let me be the one to settled this."

"Yes, Sir."

Gaya ng sinabi nya, bumalik na ako sa table ko. Padabog akong napaupo sa swivel chair. Feeling ko nanghihina ang mga tuhod ko sa nangyari.

"Okay ka lang ba?" nag-aalalang tanong ni Lana.

I know that they all heard everything. I just smiled at her and nod.

"I'm fine."

Buong hapon akong nakatunganga sa table ko. Tinulungan ko na rin si Lana sa presentation na pinagawa sa kanya para naman kahit papano, ma-divert ang atensyon ko at hindi maisip ang mga sinabi ni Gwen sa akin.

I know that I'm sensitive. Lalo pa't ito ang unang pagkakataong nasabihan ako ng tanga. It hurts yah know, yah know!

"Bye, Charm! Huwag mo nang isipin ang sinabi ng bruhang 'yon! Okay?" I know she just want me to feel at ease. I nodded and waved her goodbye.

Mabigat ang loob ko habang nagmamaneho pabalik sa condo ni Andrew. I just hope and pray that he's still not there. My day went rough today and I don't want to deal with Andrew about what happened last night. Gusto ko munang magkulong sa kwarto at mapag-isa. Sheyt na Gwen kasi. Sampal ko sa kanya 'tong takong ko, eh.

As I've reached the door, it was open and I know for sure that Andrew is already here! Gracious goodness! Bakit ngayon pa? Ang aga nya naman atang umuwi ngayon?

"A-andrew...."

I saw his wide back moved a bit. He's currently sitting at the sofa pero nakatalikod sya sakin. I don't know if he heard me but considering that he didn't respond, hindi nya ata talaga ako narinig. Or maybe he's just pretending.

"Andrew...I"

I took a step forward para sana magtungo at harapin sya pero narinig kong nag-strum sya sa gitara.

Ow okay?

I frozed when I finally heard him sung a song that would definitely took away my frustrations for this day. Its a song of Daniel Powter with the tittle of Bad Day.

Napangiti ako ng bahagya.

Where is the moment when I needed the most
You kick up the leaves, and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue sky's faded to gray
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need carrying on

I love how he utter the words. It makes my heart flutters having him here singing a song. Humakbang ako palapit sa couch at naupo sa tapat nya.

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me, "don't lie"
You work at a smile, And you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down, and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Ang sarap pakinggan ng boses nya. Malumanay lang at hindi masakit sa tenga. It makes me calm at kahit papano'y nawala sa isipan ko ang nangyari sa opisina kanina.

Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing, it turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well, oh that strong
And I'm not wrong (yeah, yeah, yeah)

I'm starting to admire Andrew everytime I see him like this. Nakapikit lang sya habang dinadama ang kanta.

So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh, you and I
You kick out the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day
You had a bad day....

Dahan-dahan syang nagmulat habang nag-gigitara at kinakanta pa rin ang lirikong masarap sa tenga. When our eyes met, it gaves shiver through my spine as he's lips crooked a smile.

Andrew... Smiling at me?

"I-i......I'll go to my room!"

I immediately stood up and headed to my room. I didn't bother to looked back kasi baka biglang magsalita si Andrew. Nang makapasok ako sa kwarto, sinara ko agad ito at marahan na napasandal sa pintuan. Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko at napaisip. Why is he smiling at me? Geez. Ano kayang nakainin ni Andrew? Parang good mood ata.

But then, i found myself smiling when I remember his smile awhile ago.

Freaking damn, ano bang nangyayari sa sarili ko?
