Nine: Bitching Around

I DIALED Raffy's house number, pero voicemail lang ang meron kaya nag-leave nalang ako ng message, knowing the possibility that his wife might hear it.

"Raffy, I enjoyed the night, thanks for your company." I said sexily, assuming na naka-uwi na si Raffy, a while ago, I came up to an idea of trying to steal Raffy, and make him fall for me again. As of now yun lang ang naiisip kong escape, para makatakas ako sa nasuotan ko dahil sa tatay ko.

Living in US for almost 5 years, I know that flirting is the best way, I can get him, I need Raffy, I want him back. I'll practice that skill to get my boyfriend back, even it means wrecking a family.

I don't know if I am out of my mind, pero that is the only thing I can do for now.

PINALIPAS ko muna ang ilang araw, bago ko gawin ang plano ko, I'm still mastering the art of flirting and seduction, na hindi ko ma-imagine na gagawin ko, I shop for clothes that would match my new persona, my bitchy side na hindi ko ginawa kahit sa US.

I called Raffy's office to set an appointment, and good thing the secretary is kind enough to give an appointment this morning. Lucky me, it would be the start. Ready yourself Eunice.

I wore a black sexy fitting dress na mababa ang neckline, kaya kitang kita ang cleavage ko. Kahit naiilang ay lumabas ako ng kwarto at bumaba na ako mula sa building ng hotel na tinitirahan ko. Oo nga pala naka-usap ko na si Faye, she and her husband visit me Yesterday, pero agad din silang umalis, nangumusta lang, at sinabi na kung gusto ko pumunta sa kanila, their house is always open for me.

Hindi ko na sinabi sa kanila ang mga balak ko, dahil paniguradong ikagagalit yun ni Faye.

Pumara ako ng taxi papunta sa office ni Ric, Nang makapasok sa building, pansin na pansin ang tingin sa'kin ng mga nadadaanan ko, sumakay ako ng elevator, bringing me to Raffy's floor.

I step out of the elevator and walk through. "Good morning Ma'am how may I help you?" I smiled at her, maybe she is the secretary, the one I talk with a while ago, "I am Eunice Saavedra, the one who set an appointment earlier."

"Oh yes Ma'am. Just wait for a sec, I'll let Mr. Buenavista know." She said na dumayal sa telepono, I smiled at her. "Ma'am you can come in." She said, na tinuro ang pinto na dapat ko pasukan. "Thank you." I exclaimed then proceed to the door.

I saw Raffy, busy working on his table. "Very busy?" Nag-angat siya ng tingin at ngumiti. "Hi, how's your stay?" He ask as he stand from his chair. "Doing great." I answered.

"So what brought you here?" He ask, "You know I have this idea, gusto ko sana mag-invest sa company mo, kaya pumunta ako dito directly. Is that okay?" Ngumiti siya.

"That's great, let's talk about it." He said na umupo na sa harap ko sa sofa set sa office niya. We talked about business, tapos pahapyaw kong sinisingit ang past, gusto kong malaman kung may nararamdaman pa siya sa'kin.

Hanggang sa umabot kami ng lunch time, niyaya ko siyang kumain sa labas na sinangayunan niya naman. Nagpaalam siya sa sekretarya niya na mainit ang tingin sa'min, nakakapit kasi ako sa braso ni Raffy at masaya kaming nagku-kwentuhan.

PINILI kong kumain sa resto na madalas namin puntahan ni Raffy noon, gusto kong buhayin ang nakaraan. Business pa sana ang topic namin pero inilihis ko ang usapan. "Raffy, sa tingin mo kung di ako umalis noon, ano na tayo ngayon?" Nakita ko na parang nag-iba ang ekspresyon ng mukha niya, parang hindi siya kumportable sa usapan. Uminom siya ng tubig. "I told you let's not talk about the past." He said na umiiwas sa'kin ng tingin.
