ALLURING FIRES (COMPLETED)

Chapter 28

"NEGATIVE! OMYGOD!!"

Napasigaw ako sa loob ng comfort room kasama si Zhavia, halos maiyak ako sa subrang tuwa pagkakita ng isang red line sa pregnancy kit.

"Woah!! That was the most thrilling moment of my life!" Napabuga sya ng hininga at pareho kaming pinagpawisan sa subrang kabado.

"I almost fainted in nervousness!" Napailing ako at naglakad na kami palabas ng C.R, napahawak ako saaking sentido. I was vomitting last night with my head aching but I feel fine this morning. Wala na rin ang lagnat ko.

"Maybe it's because of migraine." She utter shrugging, napatango ako at huminga ng malalim, unti-unti na rin akong kumalma. "You going today? You can stay for a week or I'll find you place to stay."

I shook my head before looking myself at the mirror, naglagay ako ng kaunting makeup, "Dryce called, they need me at Rhodes residence to talk about what happen." I put lipstick in my lips and blush in my cheeks.

"Nervous?"

"No." Sinulyapan ko sya at ngumiti, "I'll end this mess, then go back to normal. Mawawala rin naman ang mga issue na nagkakalat ngayon sa mga tao."

"Normal? It won't be normal anymore. Euxine will carry Tuecer's child." She poker her face, "You should be carrying one too." Binato ko sakanya ang brush, tawang-tawa ang kanyang itsura, "Chill!!" Unti-unti syang sumeryoso, "What are you gonna do about Chaucer?"

Kumirot ang aking dibdib ng marinig ang pangalan niya.. I let him go, I pushed him away.. and that's so shameless of me if I ask him back. I'll let my heart in scarlet and shattered because of his existence away from me, I deserved it.

"Everything is a disaster, Zhav." Inayos ko ang sariling buhok, "I don't want to drag Chaucer in this one. The issue between me and Tuecer with Euxine is still scorching." I sighed, "Adding him will cause flame."

Hindi ko alam kung ano pang dapat nilang pag-usapan, it is very clear that the wedding is cancelled and will never be resume again, it is clear that we became the hot topic in the world since the wedding, it is clear that the sales and profit in both companies are dropping... and most of all, it is very clear that it is impossible for me and Tuecer anymore.

Walang pumansin saakin pagkaupo ko sa upuan kung nasaan ang chairmen at chairwomen, kasama ang parents ko at parents ni Tuecer. Tuecer is sitting infront and can't look at me directly, my parents are mad, Tita and Tito are mad, everyone is mad and I expected it.

"Thanks." Ngumiti ako sa katulong ng lagyan niya ng pagkain ang aking plato, I eat comfortably ignoring their intense gazes to me. I don't care anymore, "So, what do you wanna talk about?" Mom and others looked at me unbelievably. "Why? Do you expect me to be mad too? Nah." I shook my head and bite the meat, "Woah, who's the chef this time? It tastes delicious." I joyfully commend.

The atmoshphere feels so intense, the way they look at me and Tuecer seems like they want to turn us into ashes, but I dont want to feel intimidated though, I am. Still, I dont want to show then I am terrified, having them again in one grand table made me feel brave and nervous at the same time.

"Im not happy with this Zenica." Seryosong ika ni Chairman Hamilton at matalim ang tingin saakin, nakita ko ang pagsulyap ni Tuecer saakin.

"What do you want me to do, then?" I sarcastically smile, "Tuecer made my bestfriend pregnant, I liked Tuecer's cousin. End of story."

Kahit sinubukan kong magpakatatag ay nagitla ako ng biglang binagsak ni Chairman Rhodes and kanyang kubyertos, I feel nervous for a second but I stay still trying to stare at them back.
