My Heartless Husband

chapter 46

Eliza

"Is everything ready?" Mom asked as she took a suitcase i was carrying,"don't you have anything left?"

Umiling ako."Not that i know of"

Tumango si mama."O, sige. Halika na"

Sabay kaming bumaba ni mama dala ang mga maleta ko, ngayon na ang alis ko papuntang US at nagdesisyon akong doon na lang tumira. Pagka baba pa lang namin ay nakaabang na sa baba ng hagdan si Tita Rita at Rozk, kinuha ni Rozk ang mga maleta ko saka ito na ang naglagay sa likod ng kotseng sasakyan namin.

"Magiingat kayo," ani mama,"hind na kita maihahatid sa airport ngayon kailangan kasi ako sa kompanya natin."

"Ayos lang ma, nandyan naman sila Tita Rita" sambit ko saka hinalikan siya sa pisngi,"magiingat po kami"

"Sige" yinakap ako ni mama saka sunod nitong yinakap si Rozk at Tita Rita,"mag-iingat kayo"

After bidding goodbye, the three of us got into mom's car that she lent, driven by manong Berto, who drove us to the airport where Tita Rita's private plane was waiting in the hangar. While i was walking up to the plane i was praying for Adonis to call but when i got on the plane i still didn't receive a call from Adonis.

"You okay?"

Nag angat ako ng tingin kay Rozk saka tipid na ngimiti at tumango.

Rozk sighed and sat next to me,"stop lying, are you waiting for someone to call you? You were looking at that on your cellphone a while ago"

"It doesn't matter" ani ko.

Napailing na lang si Rozk at hindi na nagsalita pa, tahimik nalang itong nakaupo sa tabi ko at ibinaling ang atensyon sa cellphone nito. As for me, i was just looking out the window and occasionally taking a deep breath.

Inalis ko kung ano man ang pumapasok sa isip ko tungkol kay Adonis. Maybe this is the best thing for both of us, i waited for him to show up with me for more than a week but he didn't show up so maybe it's better to forget about him again and just focus on my work and myself.

Forget what happened in the past, move on from the pains felt, and live without anger in the heart.

I need to live with it.

A MONTH PASSED and sales increased even more and my shop became famous, almost all models, actors or famous people came to my shop to have their wedding gowns made.

Well, I'm happy even though i'm busy managing our company i'm still able to fulfill my responsibility as the owner of my shop and of course with the help of my secretary. Media, who has been almost stressed for a few months because i didn't get back right away. Puro's reklamo ang narinig ko the whole week dahil sa mga wedding gowns na kailangan na naming tahiin kaya naghabol ako ng oras at sa awa ni lord natapos 'yon bago pa man ang mga kasal nila.

I can say that i am happy with what i have, i have a successful career, supportive parents and a very hardworking and reliable secretary, kind friends. Everything i have, well only one thing that I didn't have. Love life.

Well, marami namang nanliligaw pero palagi ko silang renereject. Sa ngayon ayoko ko munang magmahal ulit, masyado na akong kota sa mga pasakit pero nakayanan ko naman ang lahat.

"Madam!" Pumasok si Media sa opisina ko at malaki ang ngiti sa labing inalapag ang isang bouquet of tulips sa ibabaw ng mesa ko,"from your secret admirer"

Nailing naman akong kinuha ang maliit na notes at binasa ang nakalagay doon.

'I will always loved you'

I put the small paper in my drawer where there are other small papers that are also from the bouquet of flowers that i receive everyday from the person i don't know, it doesn't say who or where it came from. As long as there is a delivery man coming, i have asked the drivers who come to my shop who they are from but they always say that 'the person who ordered did not say his name'

"Madam, ang sweet naman ng admirer mo" kinikilig na sambit ni Media,"kung ako yan jojowain ko na siya"

Napailing na lang ako sa sinabi niya,"yes, it sweet but scary at same time. I don't even know who sends those flowers."

"Tama ka naman madam" ani Media,"nga pala madam, tumawag ang manager ni Miss Buenaventura. Ang ganda raw ng wedding gown niya"

Napangiti naman ako, isa si Vaasa Buenaventura sa sikat na artista sa pilipinas, nagulat pa nga ako na sa 'kin siya bumili ng wedding gown niya. I'm glad. Unti-unti nang nakikilala ang shop ko.

"Madam sikat na talaga 'tong shop mo, pa autograph naman" biro nito at kumuha pa talaga ng ball pen.

"Sira, bumalik kana nga lang doon sa labas!" Pagtataboy ko sa kaniya, natatawa namang lumabas ng opisina ko si Media.

I shook my head and was about to go back to what i was doing earlier when someone called me, i automatically smiled when i saw that it was Sam.

"Hey! Sam, so how was the future Gusev, hmm?" Puno ng pang aasar ko kay Sam ng sagutin ko ang sagot.

"Stop! Hindi ko 'to gusto!" Sigaw ni Sam sa kabilang linya,"tulungan mo ko, ayokong magpakasal!"

Natawa ako sa sinabi niya na para bang abot langit ang kalbaryo niya."Nah, not your decision"

"That's why i hate it!"

"Just suck it up. Ayaw mong kausapin ang lolo mo ayan tuloy napala mo," I chuckled,"hindi ka ba masaya magkakalove life kana"

"No, I'm not happy! I will never be happy!" Anito,"tulungan mo ko, hindi na 'to eighties para pwersahan na magpakasal ako. I'm in the right age to make a decision for myself, I'm so angry! I hate them!"

I sighed,"kausapin mo si lolo mo para hindi na ituloy. Believe me, convenient marriage is not good for you"

"I can't. Kinulong nila ako dito sa kwarto ko, ayoko siyang kausapin."

Napailing na lang ako at malalim na napabuntong hininga ng patayin ni Sam ang tawag, masyadong matigas ang ulo ng kaibigan ko. It looks like history repeats itself will happen to my friend Sam.

Shaking my head, i went to work and sewed the pending wedding gowns that were ordered from me when Media entered my office and handed me a black envelope with a gold design on the side and a gold flower on the opening of the envelope itself.

"Kanino galing?" Tanong ko kaagad ng kunin ko ang sobre.

Nagkibit balikat lang si Media,"padala ni Mrs. Varez, inimbitahan niya tayo sa anniversary nilang dalawa ng asawa niya sa makalawa. Pero hindi ako makakaattend madam, may date kami ng boyfie ko"

"Oh" that's all what i said,"clear my schedule next week"

"Okay, madam" sambit nito at naglakad na palabas ng opisina ko.

I opened the envelope and saw an invitation card, it will be held at Fortez Island. my lips formed 'o' Fortezo Island is known because it is famous and a tourist spot, and only a few can enter because only the rich can afford it.

Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko saka tinext si Mrs. Varez ng pasasalamat sa invitation card.

Matapos ay itinabi ko na ang invitation card saka pinagpatuloy ko na ang mga ginagawa ko at pinagpatuloy ang ginagawa ko.
