ONE YEAR LATER........
Tinuon ko ang buong attention ko sa trabaho ko, I am taking the project out of this country or far from manila for almost one year, and now, I'm going back to the Philippines. Since katatapos lang ng project ko sa Italy. While Yuri is staying in New York for the new building branch of our Firm. He asked me to return here to the Philippines to help Fimescar. Matatagalan si Yuri bago siya makabalik ng Pinas kaya I know scar needs me.
"Welcome back my lovely daughter" Malawak ang ngiti ni Mommy sakin bago niya ako niyakap ng sobrang higpit.
Ramdam na ramdam ko ang pagkamiss sakin ni Mommy dahil sa higpit ba naman ng yakap niya sakin. Hindi ko din naman masisi si Mommy sa pagka't nag tagal ako sa Italy ng halos ap
I don't know what Fimescar thinking but one thing is sure I don't like what she did.I immediately went to Fimescar's house. I Hope Virian told was all false, or pranking me."Ms. Dariels what are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Fimescar stepmother was the one who approached me to take notes not in a good way."I need to talk my best friend."walang modong sagot ko sa kanya. Papasok na sana ako ng hinarang ni Vivian ang kanyang kamay."Well, we're so sorry. She's not living here now. You can talk to her some other day so If you don't mind you can now leave."Malumanay na pagtataboy niya nguni't nakangisi siya sakin.F
Matalim ang bawat tingin ni Yuri kay Scar at sa asawa nito habang nag ro-roam sa buong banquet hall. Gustohin ko naman sila lapitan pero alam ko it would not help in the situation right now."Wala kaba talagang alam, Pechie?"sa pang-anim na tanung niya. Nakagat ko ang aking labi at napalunok ng mariin. So intimidating how Yuri stared me while waiting for my answer. I slowly shake my head.He sighed heavily, na bigla ako ng humakbang siya ng mabilis kaya sumunod din agad ako pero hindi nako nakalapit ng mahablot na ni Yuri ang braso ni Fimescar na hawak din naman ni Mr. Larckstone, hindi ko magawang mas lumapit pa para marinig ko ang sinasabi nila. It was too late, dahil kinalas na ni Fimescar ang pagkakahawak ni Yuri sa kanya. Kita ko ang sakit at pag ka disgusto sa mata ni Scar pero mas nakikita ko ang saki
One, two, or three days I stayed at my condo. I heard from Virian that Yuri stayed here for a couple of weeks here.Kahapon nag yaya si scar lumabas dahil sa biglaan pag leave niya so she was expected na ako na ang sumasalo ng mga gawain niya sa company which is true, I really want turn her down dahil Hirap na hirap ako magpanggap sa harapan ni Scar. Na ayos lang ako, na wala nanyari, na mayroon something samin ng taong mahal niya. Kaya lang hindi ko nagawa, cause she's my bestfriend I can't still no to her,the typical me.Lumipas na naman ang buong mag-hapon na wala akong ginagawa kundi tapusin ang mga drafts ko para bukas sa pagpasok ko. Tumayo ako para mag timpla sana ng coffee ko.YURI CALLING........
"Mabuti naman pumasok kana."salubong sakin ni Virian kulang nalang magdikit ang kanyang noo.Bumuntong-hininga ako, bago humalik sa kanyang pisngi."Akala ko nasa cavite kapa, how's the site?"Naka-antay kami bumukas ang elevator."What happened to you? Why you looks problematic?"nagulat ako ng hinarap ako ni Virian sa kanya. Sa pagharap ko sa kanya na siya naman salubong ko sa lalaking casual na nakatingin samin ni Virian mula sa likuran niya."Sabihin mo nga sakin kung ano nanyari nggabingyon?"Hindi papapigil anas ni Virian.Bigla sumama ang
It's been weeks since Yuri left. Aminin ko natutuwa ako sa mga linggo na wala si Yuri dahil pakiramdam ko nakalaya ako sa impyernong siya ang may gawa pero pag-sapit ng gabi sakin pag-tulog para akong hinahunting ng kababuyan ng ginawa sakin ni Yuri and I know the worst was not came and I expected the worst when Yuri comeback here in Philippines."so I wa.. hey are you listening?"I was back to my senses when chelly spoke.I tried my best to smile at her."Of course."pilit na sagot ko.But she seems not to believe it,"Spill the beans, Ms. Dariels don't give me a crap."banta ni
Nandito ako ngayon sa tapat ng condo ni Yuri. Wala akong lakas kumatok. Ayoko pumunta dito pero wala akong choice kundi pumunta dahil sa takot na baka masaktan nya ako physical. Hanggang maari ayoko mangyari yon kailangan ko mag ingat para sakin,para sa anak ko-namin."are you not planning to go inside or should i'll be the one bring you inside?" Nanuyo ang balahibo ko, tinakasan ako ng lakas ng may malamig na boses bumulong sakin mismong tenga."Y..uri"I stuttering said his name."Fear ah? You should be, let's get inside." walang buhay na anas niya bahagya sya lumayo sa pwesto ko.Nanghihina ako tumabi upang bigyan siya
White ceiling wall the first thing I saw soon my eyes open. Directly come to my mind where I am. I'm too tired to move so I let myself lie in bed and close my eyes."I love you so much scar,"Yuri said.His sweetness is killing me. I pretend to sleep, how I wish to be deaf just for this moment. It's killing me how they're sharing their sweet moments while I am here dying, my heart dying."Me,too"rinig kong sagot ni scar.Nakagat ko ang aking dila. Gosh, my emotions are fighting with me. I was scared to make any sounds to disturb them."You mean that right?" Galak na ani ni Yuri.
Aiko brought me at his place. Umaga ng malaman kong nasa penthouse niya pala ako."Good thing you're awake. I prepared porridge for you. Hurry dig in."Aiko said casually as if we didn't have arguments last night.I quietly sat down. I starts eating quietly and Aiko as well not until broke the silence."I haven't told to Caiko this matter. I don't have the courage to speak up so you better say it to him soon as we land in Japan."He said seriously.I gulps because of his said. Hearing I had to explain to Caiko too is making me sick. If Aiko doesn't have any courage to speak up then how about me? Where's the courage's even a little strength to speak for me? Aiko saying is like the lightning strikes
Wyne and I become so much busy. Marami akong trinabaho at mga event na pinuntahan. Pumutok na kase sa business world ang pagdating ko kaya sobrang daming events na ina-attenand ko along with Wyne of course.Thankful talaga ako ng sobra sa kanya dahil after that scene, hindi niya ako iniwan."Mommmy!" I heard my daughter loud voice calling me cheerfully.I smile brightly at her."Yes my baby, don't make a fuss here." I accept her hug with open arms.Nandito kase kami ngayon sa company na ipimana ng Family ko. The Szayato's corporation, the biggest company all over the worlds.
Hours passed, na tagpuan ko ang aking sarili nakatitig sa family picture namin ni Wyne at Yuni. Dito sa kanyang opisina. Ang saya-saya naman tatlo, wyne eyes is looking me while his holding Yuni. Ako naman masaya nakatingin kay Yuni while hugging her tights in my arms, like i was afraid to lose her.This is the family I wanted. The family that I'm afraid to let go. To loss, minsan na akong nawalan ng pinangarap kong pamilya. Hahayaan ko na naman bang mawala ito?Napabagsak ako sa sahig sa labis ng panghihina."Pechiee"na rinig kong takot at kabadong sigaw ni Wyne.Matamlay ako bumaling sa kanya."My husband...
Yuri has a teary eye at me. But what should I do? Should I react then? Ang sakit. Sobrang sakit at ang sikip ng dibdib ko ngayon sobra. I almost not catch my breathe every time na sinusubukan pigilan ang luha ko.I don't want to be weak again, not in front of him again."I know is this too late, but still I want to apologise. For all the pain.."he takes a deep breath.I covered my mouth not to let out any sobs. But how long I can hold my tears?"For what I did, especially for our chi..""SHUT THE FUCKING UP!" Ihysterically stop him.
"Ano gusto mo inumin coffee ? Ice tea or Tea?" full attention na tanong ni Yuri. He's trying to get on me. I gaze at him."Hindi ako pumunta dito para dyan. Let's talk so I can leave." I coldly said to him.I was just being frank, but I guess I was not wrong here. "Pechie, wag ka naman magmadali."mababang saad niya. Naiinis ako sa pinapakita niyang reaksyon sakin. Bakit parang siya ang biktima at ako ang masama dito? "Yuri hindi kita maintindihan, bakit ka nagkakaganito?" I laid my first question, what I really curious one. Yuri face turn in very sad look. Pero sa totoo lang kung sa ibang tao mukha siyang kaawa pero sakin he looks awful and it disgust me. It may sound rude but it's true."I missed you," tumigil ang mundo ko sakin na rinig. 'I missed you,' It's echoing. And laughed loudly but without humor and sharpen my gaze at him."You think may pakialam ako? Sa tingin mo ba pumunta ako dito para pakinggang ang mga yan?Be reasonable Yuri."malamig kong saad sa kanya. Hindi
I went out early. But before I leave the house nag-iwan ako ng breakfast ng mag-ama ko. Of course before anything else sympre sila muna kahit ano pang busy ng araw ko. I dialed Ayue's number while I was driving. "Good morning, Madam." He answered his phone after a few rings. "Oh hello Ayue, can you reserve me a room for 2 people at GC's Hotel? This going to take for 1-week to book. I'll be needing this tomorrow morning. Also, can you send me details about what our company is doing in Japan?" I immediately told him what I needed. We both have precious time to be wasted. After telling me what I need. We ended the call since andito na rin ako sa Gareen Firm parking lot. Bumaba na ako ng sasakyan ko at sumakay sa elevator papunta sa receptions are. I'll be having business with him. I guess this will be the best time to talk with him. Wala naman na ako magagawa. Ayoko na rin naman magtago pa nakakapagod na. "I have an appointment with the Ceo," I announce to the receptionis
Na balot ng katahimikan ang lahat ng malakas na hinampas ni Wyne ang mesa. Maski ang bata na nasa kanyang bisig na pahingkatakutan. "Ayla, paki-akyat si Yuni sa kanyang silid. "Tarantang utos ko. "Baby, this is adult talk. Okay lang ba mauna kana muna sa room Daddy and I will follow you later okay?"pag-amo ko rito. "Yes mommy."mahinang naging tugon niya. Sumama siya agad kay Ayla. Nang makasiguro na akong wala na talaga si Yuni, saka ako humarap sa kanilang lahat pero ang focus ko si Wroen. Pero inuna ko asikasuhin ang asawa ko, one of the servant brougth the medicine kit. "Wroen, I really don't know what I've done to you. Just to owe me of that kind of treatment."malamig kong sambit habang nilalagyan ko bandage kamay ni Wyne. Wala ako na rinig na kahit anong salita mula sa kanila, even scars. Nag-angat ako ng tin
Dahil sa pagdating ni Yuri, tila'y ba nawalang ng gana ang lahat pero I don't want to end like that. Wyne and I worked hard for this small banquet tapos hahayaan ko lang masira ito ng dahil sa taong yon ulit. That's not gonna happen, ever. Inobliga ko ngumiti at lumapit sa anak ko hinawakan ko siya sa kamay habang si Wyne naman ay buhat siya. Sandali kami nagtitigan. As before his giving me cold gaze pero binalewala ko lang instead tinamisan ko ang ngiti sa kanya. "Good evening everyone! I just want to apologize for the inconvenience happened. Pero hahayaan ba masira ang ating gabi? Sympre we don't want to happen right?" I started. Lahat sila tumango sakin. I feel relief. "Since this salo-salo is for my introducing of my family. Let me introduce my family. " I added. I proudly spoke in front of my friends. Telling about my Family. Bumaling ako kay Wyne, I held his hand. "This man beside me,
Aside samin, si Wroen lang ang hindi nagulat."You brought him, Wroen?" may galit sa himig ni Scar ng tinanung niya si Wroen.Kamo't sa batok siya na tumango samin."Gosh, nag iisip kaba?" dagdag na galit na sambit ni Scar.Kulang nalang batukan niya si Wroen sa inis niya dito. Na iindintihan ko naman ang nararamdaman niya. Kung ako lang, kung wala lang dito ang anak ko kakaladkarin ko siya palabas ng bahay ko."Pechie, pwede ba tayo mag usap? pangako hindi ako mang-gugulo." may makaawa niyang pakiusap.Lahat nakatingin sakin, pero ang tanging binigyan ko ng pansin ay si Wyne. Si Wyne walang imik o kahit buhay sa mata nito. Gusto ko siya tanungin kung okay lang ba sa kanya na kausapin ko saglit si Yuri kaya lang paano ko siya tatanungin kung hindi manlang nag-abala si Wyne na tignan ako.I had no choice to make a decision for us, malalim akong bumuga ng hangin."Yuri, not now."malalim at madi
Halos tatlong oras ako nag-asikaso. Mula sa foods at sa area na kakainin sympre with help of Wyne."Ayla, ang mga kubyertos" rinig kong utos ni Wyne sa kasambahay namin, nagkukumahog ko naman nakasalubong si Ayla habang bitbit ko ang isang puno ng food pan ng pasta.Naabutan ko si Wyne chenecheck ang mga food."Wyne, mag bihis kana at isabay mo si Yuni sa pagbaba mo ako na muna bahala dito. Para makapag pahinga kana din muna,"Mahabang talahaga ko.Tinignan muna nya ang kanyang relo."Mauna kana muna mag-ayos, tignan ko lang ang mga inumin."walang baling ng tingin an saad nya sakin.He's giving me a cold-shoulder gosh, sana maging maayos kami pagdating ng mga bisita namin kase ano nalang ang sasabihin nila pag na halata nila na may iba samin mag-asawa."sige, baba agad ako para makapag-bihis kana din."tanging na sambit ko
