Chapter 5 I misjudged her

.Chapter 5

"Ito si bakla t*nga! Obvious naman dai! Yang virginia mo ang habol noon kaya gusto makipag balikan sayo! Ano kaba b*bo! Gosh..! Ngayon lang ako nakakilala ng babaeng kahuhuli palang na nakikipag chuk-chakan ang jowa niya sa ahas niyang kaibigan ay konting hawak lang sayo bibigay kana agad! "

Mahabang litanya sakanya ni Eddie kasalukuyang nasa roof top sila nito kasama si Mona dahil coffee break naman sila.

" Oo nga, beh kaku-kwento mo palang na nakita mo silang dalawa tapos ilang araw palang napatawad mo na? Dapat to bakla tinatayuan ng rebulto eh! "Gatong pa ni Mona.

" Oo nga, hindi lang yun dapat may pa sash pa at nakalagay--Reyna ng k*tangahan! "

Gets naman niya ang punto ng mga ito but she still love him at hindi naman basta basta mawawala iyon at alam niyang ito ang sasabihin ng dalawang ito sakanya.

" Alam ko.. t*nga na kung t*nga but.. if Celine didn't entered wala sana kaming problema ni Randell,and gusto ko sana bigyan ng chance ang relationship namin.."

Naiisip palang niya ay naiinis na naman siya kay Celine.

" Naku bakla.. hindi lang si Celine ang may kasalanan doon pati na ang boyfriend mo! Kahit anong paglalandi ni Celine sakanya kung hindi niya papatulan at iiwasan niya dahil feelings mo ang pinapahalagahan niya, hindi niya gagawin yun lalo na close kayo ni Celine,but look at what he done in the elevator at kahit sa soc media if he really loves you he won't tolerate Celine's upload"banat pa ni Mona.

" Oo nga bakla.. oo sabihin na natin lamang si Celine sayo., Sa porma sa kulay.. mas maganda siya sayo bakla.. pero pag inayusan ka alam ko matatalbugan mo ang mga babae dito, lalo na si Celine., You have long legs your face is pretty your hair and your eyes makinis din ang balat mo, yun nga lang mukha kang madre sa kumbento, tingnan mo naman ang luwag ng polo mo at ang haba ng palda mo tapos and sapatos mo ahm.. leather shoes? "Nang aasar na bumaling si Eddie kay Mona.

" Hindi bakla, combat shoes"at sabay napahagalpak ng tawa ang dalawa while she sighed heavily tama naman ang dalawang ito.

" Tsaka alam mo, kung ako yung nakakita noon yung pagpasok ni Celine sa elevator tapos halos yakapin na ng ex boyfriend mo yung babaeng sinsabi niyang iiwan niya para sayo naku bakla hindi yun genuine., Talaga may dahilan lang yan si Randell kaya gusto makipagbalikan sayo"tila naiinis na sabi pa ni Mona at nameywang pa sa harap niya.

" Oo nga, kung ako sayo mamayang gabi samahan kanalang namin na mag gala para maka tanggi ka diyan kay Randell" suhestiyon pa ni Eddie.

Nilapitan siya ng mga ito at inakbayan.

"Dai.. try to apprehend feelings or like observe, pakiramdaman mo muna kung makikipag balikan kapa sakanya, the hell with the two years if it's not worth it and you can feel that you're the only one who's fighting just stop"

Dagdag pa ni Mona.

"Oo nga, bakla! Oras na malaman laman ko na, nakikipag harutan ka diyan sa ex mo, yare ka talaga sakin!"

Pinandilatan pa siya ni Eddie at natawa naman siya.

Nasa opisina na siya at nagsisimula nang magtrabaho but she received a message from Randell na hindi tuloy ang lakad nila.

Randell

(There is an emergency I'm sorry I will make it up to you next time)

(And I promise I will fix everything between us I want you back Liyah)

But she feels it was so insincere, seeing him act like that habang kasama si Celine kanina.

Nangilid ang mga luha niya but she was trying her best not to cry at napabaling sa orasan mag uuwian na pala. Maybe she needs to turned her attention sa ibang bagay she stood at dumiretso sa opisina ng CEO.

But she froze and realized something.

Ashton eyes was glued in his laptop at biglang nagtaas ito ng tingin brows raised and clenched his jaw,at napakagat labi naman siya she forgot na hindi na nga pala si Mr. Declan ang boss niya and she forgot to knock again.

" You have to fix that bad habit of yours Ms. Ferrer"he commanded with a low and baritone voice and he sounds upset.

" I'm.. I'm sorry sir.. I forgot again.. "hiyang hiya siya dito kaya naman tumalikod siya bigla at lumabas at sinara ang pinto.

She knocked on his door three times at sumilip and she smiles shyly.

"Sir.. mag uuwian na I just wanted to clean your office before I leave"

Nangunot ang noo nito at tila nagulat sa ginawa niya but his aura change he lick his lips at sumandal sa swivel chair while still staring at her amusingly.

He closed his laptop.

"Ok you can clean my office Ms. Ferrer"

"Ok sir.. excuse me" at dumiretso siya sa lagayan nang mga cleaning tools niya and starts spraying the sofa at wiping the table at sinalansan din niya nang maayos ang mga gamit at libro, sanay na siya sa ganito dahil sa araw araw niyang ginagawa iyon sa loob ng apat na taon niyang pagta-trabaho.

"This isn't your job, Ms. Ferrer"

Sandali siyang tumigil at napabaling siya dito he was still leaning on his swivel chair at mula sa pwesto niya ay kitang kita niya kung gaano katangos ang ilong nito.

"Ah., Ginagawa ko na po ito sir since day one, kaya sanay na ako sir" and she slightly smiled.

"Ok, after that you can leave"

"Ok sir.."

.......

She was lying in her bed na nakabuka ang dalawang kamay habang nakatitig sa ceiling ng kwarto niya still remembering Randell's face ngunit winaksi niya sa isip niya iyon at biglang lumitaw mukha ni Ashton.

At parang langaw na binugaw niya ang laman ng isip but realizing how red Ashton lips are.

Napahawak siya sa labi niya, she can't still forget about it.

What happened between them ay mukhang hindi na niya makakalimutan kahit madilim sa kwarto na iyon she can't forget the color of his eyes and how she removed his glasses when he kissed her and.. her hands travel down to her belly button pababa.

And her hands stop.

She remembers the day when she woke up her whole body was soring lalo na ang gitnang bahagi ng pagkababae niya.

And how he tormented her after giving her so much pleasure that night at lahat ng alak na nasa katawan niya ay tuluyan nang nawala.

It was all clear even his reaction when he finds out that she was a virgin that time.

Tumagilid siya nang higa at nakaramdam ng lungkot.

"He didn't even recognized me...But how can he? Ang itsura ko ngayon at nang gabing iyon ay malayong malayo..and If I changed my outfit will he recognized me? Ano kayang magiging reaksyon niya?"

Panay kausap niya sa sarili niya nang biglang tumunog ang cellphone niya it was unregistered number alanganing sagutin niya iyon kaya naman hinayaan lang niyang mag ring hanggang matapos.

Ngunit maya maya'y tumunog nanaman ito.

"Maybe it's emergency"

She took her phone at sinagot.

"Hello?"

("Ms. Ferrer please save my number in case of emergency I can call you anytime") natuptop niya ang bibig.

("Ms. Ferrer? Are you still there?")Ashton voice sounds beautiful in over the phone.

"Ah, uhm, y-yes sir I will save your number"

("Ok, Ms. Ferrer that's all,") and the call ended.

Bigla niyang nayakap ang cellphone and she named the number.

'mr. Long'

Natawa siya sa sariling idea she was talking about his.. at napailing siya she tried to close her eyes and forced herself to sleep.

Maaga siya nakapasok kagaya ng normal na oras ng pasok niya dumiretso siya sa coffee maker sa loob ng opisina ng CEO and starts to brew coffee, she was humming habang hinihintay itong kumulo.

"You're too early.."

Muntik na siyang mapamura nang biglang may magsalita malapit sa tenga niya kaya bigla siyang napalingon just to realize their faces were too close pakiramdam niya ay naginit ang pisngi niya habang nakahawak sa tenga.

"S-Sir! Kanina kapa dito?" Her voice raised in pitch tone at pakiramdam niya ay lalo siyang namula when she smell his nice scents

"Did I frightened you?"The side of his lips raised and he looked amused while staring at her.

"You scared the hell out of me--a-ang aga mo sir."

Ashton moved forward kaya naman napa atras siya and she feel her bottom on the edge of the table.

"Am I? Well is it not the normal time to go to work?"

"Ahm, no-- I mean hindi lang ako sanay sir, b-because your dad he was always late at kahapon lang siya pumasok ng maaga"

"That's understandable because of his age.. so what are you doing?"

Her breathing became hard sa sobrang lapit nito sakanya his chest was broad and his shoulder, aside from that he looked so hot.

" I'm going to make coffee... For you sir"

" Oh, ok.. we will have a coffee together right? "

Napatitig siya sa asul nitong mga mata those beautiful pair of eyes.

" Ah_I already had my coffee sir"

His eyes roll down to her lips, na nilagyan niya ng lip tint kanina.

" Oh, ok.. "

Ashton moved backwards at naglakad papunta sa table nito and he removed his coat and sit nakahinga naman siya ng maluwag.

" Ahm, what do you want your coffee sir? "

" Black, with creamer without sugar,"

She nodded the same as his father's coffe.

" Ok, sir.. "

Pagkatapos ay inilapag niya sa table nito ang kape.

" By the way Ms. Ferrer.. you didn't change your appearance"

His face turned serious while looking up at her.

Nag iwas siya ng tingin dito at nahihiyang napakamot siya sa ulo.

" Ahm, sir nakakahiya man pong aminin pero w-wala po akong damit na formal na iba sa bahay plano ko palang po mamili pag may bakanteng oras sir"

" Is that so? "

She nodded.

" During those years sir.. nakasanayan ko na ang mga ganitong damit kaya halos lahat ng damit ko sa bahay ay ganito din"

Ashton didn't response ngunit nakatitig lang ito sakanya.

" Ok, Miss. Ferrer I will accept that reason for now but nextweek you have to change your attire"

Napatango naman siya " ok sir "

At tumalikod na dito para bumalik sa labas.

.......

Nasa rooftop sila ngayon ni Mona katatapos lang nilang kumain kaya doon sila dumiretso ngunit habang nagku-kwentuhan isang grupo ang pumasok.

At dahil nakaupo sila sa kabilang side ay hindi nila kita kung sino-sino ang mga iyon but she heard a familiar voice.

"Well, For me If I was him I will obviously choosing you" sabi ng babae.

"Yeah, it's like heaven and earth ang

pagitan nyo, girl so cheer up"

" If Randell was pursuing her now maybe he has a reason"

Nagkatinginan sila ni Mona at naintriga.

" Yeah, look how ugly she is right? Randell choose me because he knows from the start na wala naman siyang mahihita sa babaeng iyon, of course she is the reason why I'm at my position right now, but I should be thankful for Randell for convincing her"

Natuptop niya ang bibig at nanlalaki ang mga mata niya ng akmang tatayo si Mona at mukhang susugod nahawakan niya ang braso nito para pigilan.

Instead Mona took her phone and starts record the conversation.

"Randell is such clever, he is almost package right?"

"Yeah, I agree to that"

"But I heard the news that Randell was visiting her at her office"

"Yeah I heard that too"

" Because that woman keeps on pushing herself on Randell, she obviously wanted him back and of course hindi ako papayag na maagaw niya pa sakin ang boyfriend ko, I'm his secretary by the way and he often visited me in my place"

Nakuyom niya ang kamao sa narinig pakiramdam niya ay naninikip ang dibdib niya sa galit.

" Yeah, obviously Randell really likes you and he just wanted something doon sa manang mong kaibigan "

" Kaibigan? I never considered her as a friend, she didn't even passed my standards of being my friend "

Pakiramdam niya ay naninikip ang dibdib niya, she was mad at Celine because of what she done to her and she was trying to hold it in herself gusto pa niya ulit itong maging kaibigan but how dare she?!

After that incident sa rooftop, ay hindi muna siya bumalik doon inabala muna niya ang sarili sa trabaho.

"Ms. Ferrer this is not what I asked for? explain this to me" Ashton says coldly and put the folder in front of her.

Kinuha niya ang papel to check it at natuptop niya ang bibig that was not the paper she meant to give him.

Kaya naman bigla siyang napatayo.

"I'm sorry sir"

At nagmamadaling nang open ng mga folder and took the papers na kailangan nito and hand it to him he glared at her and took the paper from her hands and read it.

"I'm looking forward to not receiving the same mistake Ms. Ferrer my patience is limited "

Warning nito sakanya.

" I promise sir, I'm sorry"

At yumuko siya and she heard his footsteps na papalayo and the sound of his door open and close.

Napasalampak siya ng upo at napahilot sa sintido, after what she learned that day lalong nagulo ang utak niya at hindi makapag concentrate sa trabaho niya, kaya naiinis na siya.

Because of what she hears hindi parin siya makapaniwala na lahat ng paglalambing ni Randell sakanya ay para lang pala matulungan niyang ma promote si Celine, maybe that's true that they already have a relationship dati pa at napaka tanga niya para maniwala sa sinasabi ng mga ito na parang kapatid ang turing.

Napatingin siya sa kalendaryo sa table niya at napansin na friday na pala and she needs to buy new clothes for her work kaya plano niyang mamili.

Biglang tumunog ang intercom niya.

(Ms. Ferrer i need you to explain this to me)

He sounded mad.

Napapaisip nanaman siya kung anong ginawa niya to make him mad again.

She knocked three times bago pumasok sa loob ngunit nakayuko ito habang may binabasang papel.

Dumiretso siya sa harap nito at napatingin ito sakanya.

She stop in front of his table at binaba nito sakanya ang mga papel.

"So explain that to me now" pinagdaop nito ang palad looks like he really needs to hear her explanation.

She took the paper at napakagat labi siya she was already expecting this ngunit hindi niya inaasahan na mas mapapa aga.

This is the recommendation she made for Celine to be promoted at the secretarial position.

And seeing how serious CEO looks like mukhang pati siya ay mapaparusahan.

"I thought you're good at judging people's capabilities but, Am I mistaken?"

Napatitig siya dito her head was aching and her hands trembled.

But kailangan pa ba niyang ipagtanggol si Celine? Sa lalaking nasa harap niya ngayon ay mukhang imposible na mapapaniwala niya ito.

He was so perfect in all aspects, kaya kahit gawin niya dito ang mga ginagawa niya sa daddy nito dati ay alam niyang hindi iyon uubra.

She sighed deeply.

" Sir I'm so sorry, I misjudged her sir"she deeply regret it.

But Ashton smirked.

" Looks like you are going to pull, back the recommendation you've already made.. "tila naaliw nitong sabi like he was testing her.

" Sir.. the truth is.. yes"

Hindi ito sumagot but her answer makes his one brows raised.

"This is.. a mistake unlike the other recommendations that I previously made, this one is a big mistake the truth sir, is Ms. Celine Riego is.. my friend before so I made a biased judgement just to help her get that job, even though I know that she isn't qualified enough for that position I'm so sorry sir, I will accept any punishment or disciplinary actions na ibibigay nyu sakin"

Napayuko siya.

His expression change he looks like distraught and it's scary.

The man who's expression never change.
