Unwanted

Chapter 3

Andy

Nalaman na kasosyo nila Axel ang mag asawang ito. He needs to impress them for them to invest even more in their company. I know that he's using me

"So how long have you been as a couple?"

Axel held my hand and placed it on the top of the table. Their eyes went down on our hands, napangiti ang mga ito

"We're married for more than two years. We actually met in an event and the first time I saw her, I fell in love with her"

He turned to me and smiled. I faked a smile. If I didn't know him well ay iisipin kong totoo ang ngiti nya

"Is there an arrange marriage that happened?"

"It is not new to us. It was a normal thing to do for the people in the business world and I actually thank that arrangement. Because of that I was able to marry the most beautiful woman in my eyes"

I did my best not to roll my eyes. What he said were all lies, yes I first saw him in an event but he doesn't even know that I was there. Ang Daddy nya lang ang nagsabi sa kanya. Sinabi yun ng Daddy nya para pag may nagtanong kung saan kami nagkakilala ay may maisasagot sya

I just listened to their conversation. I would answer if I really have to and fake a smile. Parang nakaset ang mga sasabihin ko at gagawin kong mga movements. Mahigpit rin na nakahawak sa kamay ko si Axel. He's making sure na wala akong sasabihin na makakasira sa kanya

Mrs. Mendelson raised her hand and waved. She smiled to the someone on our back, kumunot ang noo ko

"I didn't expect you to be here apo"

Nakaramdam ako ng mga yabag na papalapit sa amin

"I had a meeting with one of my clients, pauwi na rin po ako Lola"

Napahinto ako nang marinig sya. He sounds familiar

"Mukhang busy rin po kayo. Mauna na po ako"

"Oh no, please join us Dash"

The old man said. Did he just say Dash?

Tumayo si Mrs. Mendelson at hinila ang isang lalake paupo sa may tabi nya. My eyes landed on him. Makikita rin ang pagkagulat sa mga mata nya

"I would like you to meet my grandson, Dash Mendelson and Dash, this is Mr. and Mrs. Greene"

Nakatulala lang akong nakatingin sa kanya. Bakit di ko naisip na baka kamag anak ni Dash ang mga ito? They all Mendelson, wala rin naman nabanggit sa akin si Dash tungkol sa kanila

"Andy..."

Malumanay ang boses ni Dash habang nakatitig sa akin. Naramdaman kong humigpit ang pagkakahawak sa kamay ko ni Axel

"Magkakilala kayo?"

Axel cleared his throat

"I don't think they are Mrs. Mendelson. Walang sinasabi sa akin ang asawa ko na may kakilala syang isang Dash Mendelson"

I saw Dash held the glass of water and drank it straight. He's staring intently at Axel. Nagbaba ako ng tingin nang dumako ang mga mata nya sa akin

"Am I right wife?"

Nilingon ako ni Axel, damn him! He wants me to deny Dash! Humigpit ang hawak nya sa kamay ko

"T-this is the first time I saw him"

Nagulat ako nang biglang tumayo si Dash. His eyes landed on me at alam kong nasaktan ko na naman sya

"I really have to go. I'm sorry Lola, I can't stay longer"
