View MoreAng pitong taon ng pagmamahalan ay walang kuwenta laban sa pitong buwan ng pagtataksil. May mga pangako talagang mas madaling baliin kaysa tuparin.
Si Kyros Arnaud Ferrero, ang lalaking minahal ko simula noong labimpitong taong gulang ako, ay inakala kong siyang makakasama ko habambuhay. Kailanman ay hindi ko naisip na ang pagmamahal niya ay may kalakip palang pagtataksil. Minahal niya ako, pero nagawa niya pa rin akong saktan at traydurin kasama ang mismong kaibigan na pinagkatiwalaan ko.
Nagawa niyang magsinungaling at mang-gago nang hindi man lang kumukurap ang mga mata. Para makaganti sa kanya, pinasalan ko ang kapatid na pinakamumuhian niya, ang kasalukuyang presidente ng kanyang kumpanya.

'Mayroon kang emergency shift ngayong gabi sa ospital. Naiskedyul ang mga pasyente at napiling manganak ngayon. I'm really sorry, Dr. Sinclair,' iyon ang ipinadalang mensahe ng chief resident ko, isang bagay na hindi ko akalain na magdadala sa akin sa katotohanan tungkol sa pagtataksil ng aking kasintahan.
Sa ikalawang taon ko bilang OB-GYN resident, ito na rin ang ikalawang taon na inatasan ako na magtrabaho sa Araw ng mga Puso..
My dedication to medicine had always guided my choices, so I replied, 'Noted. I’ll be at the hospital by the afternoon.'
Marami na akong isinugal sa propesyon na ito kaya naman ang tanging magagawa ko ay sumunod.
Dahil okupado na ang gabi ko, nagpasya akong bisitahin muna ang opisina ni Kyros, and kasintahan ko na may dalawang buwan nang nagtrabaho bilang isang junior executive sa kumpanya ng kanyang pamilya, and I wanted to at least share a moment with him today.
Nagdala ako ng cake at dumiretso sa elevator. Kilala ako sa gusali nila kaya naman dire-diretso lang ako nang walang isyu.
“Hello, Miss Gazelle!” bati sa akin ng ilang staff. Sinuklian ko ang mga ngiti nila ng mahinang tango
Pagdating ko sa pribadong opisina niya, wala roon ang sekretarya kaya naman tumuloy na lang ako sa pribadong silid na madalas kong makagawian kapag naroon ako. Wala roon si Kyros.
Nakakunot ang noo na inilabas ang phone ko para magpadala ng mensahe sa kanya, nguntit naunang napuna ng mga mata ko ang eleganteng box na nakapatong sa desk niya.
Bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko. Kamukha ito ng gift box na inihanda ko para sa kanya, ngunit sigurado ako na naroon pa ang regalo kos a kanya sa tirahan namin. Nanatili ang pagkalito sa loob ko, iniisip kung nakita niya ito sa aking aparador at dinala dito.
Nang buksan ko ang takip, isang maliit na card ang nakapatong sa loob.
“Happy Valentine’s Day, babe!”
Ang hindi pamilyar na sulat-kamay ay nagpalamig sa akin. Sa loob ng kahon, pinagmamasdan ako ng isang Patek Philippe Nautilus na nag-aakusa sa kumikinang nitong mukha.
Someone had given this to him. Someone who called him ‘babe’.
Dumagundong ang dibdib ko. Sino ang nagpadala nito?
Sa puntong ito ay hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko. Dala ang cake ay nagpunta na muna ako sa women’s restroom para kalmahin ang sarili ko.
Umaasa ang isang maliit na boses sa isipan ko: ‘baka hindi iyon para kay Kyros.’
Pero paano napunta ang bagay na iyon sa mesa niya?
Doon ko siya pinadalhan ng mensahe.
Me: 'My chief asked me to be in the hospital tonight. Our ward is full-packed, and I will be staying until tomorrow. Do you have time for a late lunch to celebrate the day?'
Tinitigan ko ang repleksyon ko sa salamin, pinilit kong alisin ang kaba. ‘No, I’m just being paranoid.’
Nagbukas ang pintuan at iniluwa ang sekretarya ni Kyros, Emily Foster. Tila siya nakakita ng multo nang masilayan ako.
“M-Miss Gazelle!” nautal siya. “Y-you’re here.”
May hawak siyang dalawang paperbag at agad niya itong itinago sa kanyang likuran. The brand was unmistakably high-end women’s jewelry.
Ninakaw ko na muna ang kakalmahan sa trabaho at inalok ko siya ng isang magiliw na ngiti. “Kay Kyros ba ang mga iyan?”
“Yes, Miss Gazelle. Inutusan ako ni Boss na kunin ito sa shop,” tugon niya sa kanyang boses nang may tensyon.
“Exciting! Pwede ko bang tingnan?” Pinananatiling magaan ang aking tono
Bahagyang nakaawang ang labi niya, nag-aalangan
“Don’t worry, it’s a secret,” I reassured her playfully. “I just hate surprises.”
Nag-aatubili na iniabot niya sa akin ang mga iyon habang dama ko ang kanyang kaba. Parehas ang nilalaman ng dalawang kahon sa paper bags na nagsasabi na dalawang tao ang tatanggap ng mga iyon.
“Why did Kyros order two of the same bracelet?”
Unless the other one is for his ‘babe.’
Pinag-aralan ko nang mabuti si Emily. Ang Pink Girls Code, ang aking sorority, ang nag-sponsor ng kanyang pag-aaral sa kolehiyo. Noong nagtapos siya pitong buwan na ang nakararaan, personal akong tumulong sa kanya para makuha ang trabahong ito sa Ferrero Group.
“Sinunod ko lang ang utos, Miss Gazelle,” umiwas siya ng tingin sa akin.
Pinutol ng ring ang tensyon, tumatawag si Kyros.
Pinanatili ko ang kakalmahan. “Sorry. Tumatawag na rin sa akin ang boss mo. Pasensiya na sa abala.”
Nagmadali siya na lumabas ng women’s comfort room dala ang dalawang paper bag. Kung gusto kong malaman ang totoo, kailangan kong magmasid sa dilim.
“Hi! Narito lang ako sa comfort room,” I answered.
“Great! I’ll wait for you here in the office,” tugon ni Kyros bago pinutol ang tawag.
Matapos ayusin ang sarili ay bumalik ako sa pribadong opisina ni Kyros, pilit na ngumiti. Mukhang wala rin siyang ideya na nagtungo na ako rito.
“I miss you so much, babe! Mabuti at naisip mo na dalawin ako.” He hugged me tightly, pressing a soft kiss to my lips. Naaamoy ko pa ang sabon sa kanyang katawan na para bang kaliligo lang niya.
Ngunit ang hindi pamilyar na amoy na iyon ay hindi gamit sa aming villa. Ang relong nadiskubre ko kanina ay naroon n asa kanyang pulso.
Kumalabog ang tiyan ko habang dumarami ang mga posibilidad sa isip ko.
“Nag-lunch na ako while in a meeting, pero kung gusto mo ay sasamahan kitang kumain,” aniya.
“You had a meeting?”
“Yeah, with a client.”
Nanatili ang tanong na mas lalo pang lumobo sa aking isipan: Sino ang nagbigay kay Kyros ng $70,000 na relo? Kliyente lang ba ito?
Good things last a while.After spending a pretty good time looking at the countryside landscapes: the ocean, the field, the mountainside. Heavy rain poured on us and left us wet like kittens drenched in cold water. We had not brought any umbrellas or jerseys because it was quite sunny and warm a while ago. It could be referred to as beautiful weather.Drenched wet as we hid at the station looking at the hateful rain splattering on the muddy ground. I began to shiver as the cold air washed over my body. Tanaka noticed this and moved closer. He unexpectedly wrapped his arms around my back and brought me close to his body to the point that l could feel his warmth which was starting to spread to me as well.I stood stiff as my cheeks start to heat and my heart thumped so loudly as if it would pop out. I inwardly scolded myself to relax. We stood like that until the bus came.People were looking at us strangely as if we are aliens that have just descended on earth. If only they know of t
After discussing each of our problems to one another, Hozumi always the ideas man came up with a plan. A very good plan. We set up the strategies to catch the culprit red handed. I have no idea,why in the world would they do such a thing. I never got on the bad side of the people here well the exception is Sosuke whom at the mean time has an alibi.Who else would it be. Could it be pure coincidence nevertheless we have to put the plan in action. Feeling uncomfortable l give Hozumi a look and stand up from the ground where we were seating rubbing off the dirty on my clothes. She followed looking far behind me as she say:"Sakura we have to get back. Like we promised let's meet outside the gate. We will get into it outside here.""I understand. Thank you for your help.""You're always welcome."Having met under the peach tree being watched from the hawk's eye we split each going to our own way. I do not know when it began, being spied on by countless shadows. But we can feel it. Everyth
Yuki-san continued to come by herself. She kept him preoccupied. It is fortunate for me that l felt free to do what l like. I had so many plans to make and accomplish and it made it easy when he was out of my way. On the first day after being told not to come anymore, l sneaked out of the place and went to Hozumi. She gets really busy and it was unfortunate because l had risked my life for nothing. I could not even get a glimpse of her and at that time l was left to go to town. I had studied the pathways back and from the city. I had saved some money as well as it was the first time getting on a train. After arriving in town l thought to go some wherelse l still had time in my hands. So l went to take a train.Looking around l could see people carrying their load moving about as others consulted someone in an enclosed space.I stood at the same place wondering what l should do. Ask someone. They will think l am weird. As if l am from some other world after all l am. Living in that no
Being frequently in his presence has become so annoying to both sides. Even though l avoid getting in a conversation with him, still we will be in the same room.We were currently inside the building . I was sitting on the floor whilst he was hanging on the pillar. Being his weird self after all assassins can do anything."When did you find out?"l ask all of a sudden remembering his talk earlier. He looks at me."....." He changes the way he was as he flips sitting upright. Does he get it or he is acting like he did not. He is difficult."I mean when did you know that l was doing all that." I ask because all along l thought l was doing it all secretly. There is nothing that beats the feeling that all along you were busy hiding something whilst it has been found out.Or is it Hozumi.."Don't blame her l knew from the start when you went back and met Hozumi. Sometimes you would make too much noise when you failed jumping to the other roofs. I could see you lying on the ground after a hea
3 months laterLeaping from roof to roof with my all-black outfit that is a black crop top with a black leather half coat and a mini skirt that enables me to jump and do all sorts, knives nicely placed in my knee-high sock's pockets at my sides. My hair was fairly pulled back, tied with a knot reac
I was really surprised when he left me without cursing or shouting at me. I felt some what content seeing him leave the room after taking a quick glance at me. He walked to the window jumping down as his coat flared with wind, his hair too. He was tired after dealing with Mr Lockey. I wonder why h
After waiting so long for him to lean in and take the lead. For me to close my eyes as we engross in a moment that never came, l felt him grip my arm as he turned me around. He did not say a word as he again tied me with another rope. Can't we get over with it.He has so much pride. Man. He should
I start to stir in my sleep feeling as if something is restricting me from stretching my hands and legs. I open my eyes to see that l am in the same position as yesterday only that there is lots of light in the room. I look around to see that guy sleeping on a chair at the far end.
