Chapter 30

Cheater

I don't know anyone in Dubai. Si Xydon lang, at hindi pa rin ako pinapansin. I never stop messaging him, and giving him calls. Siya lang naman ang sadya ko roon.

Bakit ba gano'n na lang kadali na iwan ako? Nasasaktan ako nang sobra pero mas desidido akong ayusin ang sa amin. I want to explain my side. I don't want him to believe I'm a cheater, and I'm like my father, because I am not.

This is the first time I'd travel abroad alone. Kinakabahan ako dahil hindi ko alam kung saan pupunta.

"Huy, mag-ingat ka! Hindi talaga kami pwedeng makasama this time." Jaya looked so guilty when they sent me off.

"Message mo lang kami if need mo ng pera," si Anikka.

Walang masabi si Demi at yumakap na lang.

Si Jasro naman ay mabigat na bumuntong hininga. "I am really sorry. I wanna go with you, but I know I'll just fucking make the situation worse."

Tipid lang akong ngumiti. Walang kasuhan na naganap sa pagitan ni Vier at Jasro. Dinig ko na sa abroad na mag-aaral si Vier. Siguro kung hindi lang siya gumawa ng gano'ng eskandalo, palagay ko hindi ganito kagulo.

"Tawagan mo ako kapag may problema, Ishan. Kapag pinaalis ka ng Daddy mo, call me instantly."

I chuckled and nodded at Mom. Humingi ako ng yakap para makakuha ng lakas. I can do this.

"Take care. I love you, Anak ko..."

I smiled. "Love you, too, Mommy..."

Sa eroplano, hindi ako mapakali. Lalo na nang makababa na ang eroplano... Nasa labas na ako nang airport at naghihintay ng taxi. I feel like I'm ignorant because everyone knows what they're doing.

"Hey... Do you need anything? Pilipino?" ngiti ng isang babaeng huminto sa harap ko.

I noticed his men from afar. May sekretarya rin itong dalawa na naghihintay sa isang limousine.

I bit my lip. "Uhm... Hi. I just need a ride and a hotel. Dito ba ang abangan?"

"I can give you a ride... I know a hotel, Miss," kalmado niyang paanyaya.

I had to trust her even though I was in doubt. Maingay ang dalawang sekretarya niya sa loob ng limo. They are both from Philippines, too. They're trying to make me comfortable, but I wasn't in the mood to join in.

"I think you could afford this hotel. Maganda rin kasi ang security dito. May mga hotel kasing napapasukan..." she said with a smile.

She's really beautiful and kind— I guess. I think she's a businesswoman here. May mga bumati sa kaniyang naka corporate attire kanina sa lobby.

"Thank you very much..." sabi ko at pinasok na ang luggage ko. I stopped midway and called her. "Uhm, Sachi..."

She glances back at me with poise. "Yes?"

"Do you know where is the building of Montevinski here? Uhm, the engineering company?" I asked without hesitation. I really am desperate. I want to see him now to have a converse with him.

Her lips pursed into thin line as she nodded curiously. "I do... Why? Are you gonna apply?"

Umiling ako. "I just have to see someone..."

"Alam ko kung saan 'yon. I can... give you a ride if you want."

Nabigla ako roon pero nagawa pa ring tumango. "Nakakahiya pero tatanggapin ko na ang suhestiyon mo. I don't know the places here..."
