Destined To Love Her Times Three (MiChaeng)

Destined To Love Her Times Three: MiChaeng part 36

That night they should have fun lead them to bed. Chae is oblivious but Somi is feeling fine. After what happened, Chae decided to make Somi his girlfriend.

Not because he loves her, but he should take responsibility for what he did. Isang buwan na silang magkarelasyon at ginulat ang mga katrabaho. Pinagsisisihan niya ang nangyari pero wala na siyang magawa. Iniisip nalang niya na, hindi na babalik si Mina at masaya na ito malayo sa kanya.

On the other hand where Chae thought Mina is having fun, in fact, she exhausted. Paperworks almost kill her brain cells.

May isang team ang nagtuturo kay Mina sa mga gawain niya. Ngunit bilang isang katrabaho, hindi anak ng may ari. Para matuto siya, kailangan niyang maranasan kung paano maging empleyado.

Employee: Ms. Mina, this folder should be pass to Mr. Suzukima. He needs it at 10 o'clock. I hope you don't mind.
Mina: I don't. Let me do it.

Agad namang ibinigay ang folder kay Mina at kipkip niya itong dinala sa 8th floor. Napakahirap maging trabaho ang secretary, assistant at manager.

Habang papaakyat siya, naramdaman niya ang vibration ng phone niya. Pumasok siya sa elevator bago buksan ang mensaheng galing kay Jimmu.

Jimmu: Madame, Mr. Son wanted to quit.
Mina: Why?
Jimmu: He's been planning to resign in theast 7 months but I blackmailed him. But I don't have any threat to give him now. What should I do?

Napabuga siya ng hangin. Ngayon na nakapangalan kay Chae ang kumpanya, matatagalan bago pa man mapalitan ulit iyon. Kakailanganin pa ng pirma niya.

Mina: Investigate. You should dig deeper to gather information. Don't fail me.

Pinatay na nito ang kanyang screen. Kung hindi pa sinabi ni Jimmu ang tungkol sa pitong buwan, hindi niya maaalalang ganun na pala siya katagal wala sa Pilipinas....sa piling ni Chae.

Maybe he's happy now. She knew about their relationship because Jimmu reported it to her. Hindi niya alam kung anong mararamdaman niya. He cheated on her, and he had relationship with that woman.

Mina: Mina....move on...masaya na siya.

Tumunog na ang elevator at lumabas siya pagkabukas nito. Pinuntahan niya agad ang opisina ni Mr. Suzukima.

Mina: Mr. Suzukima.

Agad napatayo ang ginoo nang makita siya sa pinto. Malawak agad ang ngiti nito at galak na sinalubong siya.

Suzukima: Ms. Myoui! I'm glad you're here! I didn't see you on your first day.
Mina: I'm glad too. By the way, I have here the files you need downstairs.
Suzukima: Ow..that? Thank you. Good work.

Ngumiti lang si Mina at tumalikod. Ganito lang ang gawain niya. Tagahatid ng documents, tagagawa ng proposal, reports, plans, and presentations.

Mabuti nalang ay nakapagtapos siya ng kursong nababagay sa kumpanya nila. Pagkababa niya ay nakita niya ang kanyang ina na kasama si Rei. This is her healing moment. When she seez her Rei.

Mina: Mom!

Tinakbo niya ang kanilang pagitan at niyakap ang dalawa. She slightly pinched Rei's cheek and kiss it.

Mom: He keeps on whining at home. I thought he might stop if see you.
Mina: Aww. That's a sweet of you my love..thank you mom.

Kinuha ni Mina ang dalang lunch box ng kanyang ina at inaya niya ito sa mini canteen sa department nila.

Mom: Your father....where is he?
Mina:Probably working his ass off.
Mom: He should eat too. I prepared it for us.
Mina: I will call him.

Nilabas niya ang cellphone at tinawagan ang ama.

Dad: Yes?
Mina: Mom's here. Let's eat.
Dad: Really? Okay!

Mina smiled with hid dad's excitement. Mas naging expressive ito dahil sa pananakot ng mommy niya.

Mina: Mom..
Mom: Yes?
Mina: Can you do leave Dad if he hurt me again?
Mom: Huh? H-how did you...
Mina: I heard everything.
Mom: Oh my..
Mina: And I'm grateful that I got to hear that.
Mom: Well, I'm relief..
Mina: So.....?
Mom: Hmm...I don't think I can leave him..
Mina: Why?
Mom: Because I promised to stay at his side.
Mina: Promise?
Mom: Yes. When we got married.
Mina: Owww
Mom: But even I did not promise...I will not leave him..He's the father of my daughter, a good husband..I love him..
Mina: Do love's enough?
Mom: Of course!

Natahimik si Mina. Kung sapat ang pagmamahal para hindi mang iwan...ibig sabihin hindi niya mahal si Chae?

Mom: But we have differeng perspective in love. You have to weigh every consequences of every action and its reason.

Hindi siya umimik. Naputol ang kanilang usapan nang dumating ang ama niya. Sabay silang kumain at masayang nag usap.

Somi: Chae...let's eat.
Chae: Okay..

Napasimangot si Somi sa sagot nito. Napapansin niya ang malalamig na paramdam ni Chae. Alam naman niyang pinanagutan lang siya sa nangyari, pero para sa kanya, masaya siya sa relasyon. She got to see Chae everytime she wanted to.

Tahimik lang silang kumakain. Pero dahil madaldal si Somi ay nagkwento siya tungkol sa mga gusto nito.

Somi: Do you love to watch movie?
Chae: Medyo lang.
Somi: Nood tayo ng sine. May incoming romantic foreign movie.
Chae:Ikaw nalang.
Somi: Eeeeehhhh sige naaaaa date tayo...
Chae: Wala ako sa mood.
Somi: Chae naman e...
Chae: Please Somi...wag ngayon.
Somi: Hmmmp!

Inis na umalis si Somi sa pagkakaupo at lumabas sa restaurant. Napapikit naman si Chae at hinilot ang sintido dahil sa inis.

Chae: This relationship is unhealthy.

He keeps on comparing Mina to Somi. Natikman na niya ang saya na karelasyon si Mina, pero bumagsak siya sa isang toxic na relasyon.

Why did he even failed to keep the best relationship? He should be finding Mina for the last seven months but he did nothing. No action at all.

He sighed deeply before going out. Nakita naman niya si Somi sa isang pabilog na plantbox. Nakasimangot ito habang nakaupo. Looking at her from a far....he see Mina. Ang mahabang kulot ba buhok, ang pagsayaw ng mga ito sa dumadaang hangin...ang magandang side profile nito...

Chae: Why can't I see Somi? Why do I keep on seeing Mina? She left me. Somi is the one that stayed...but....why????
