Ezra's POV

My brows furrowed as I read more, my lips either pursed or pouting.

Pinapanood lang ako ni Ezekiel nang mabuti sa tabi.

"Most of them are that incorrect, huh?" He stated like he figured it out.

I cracked my neck, "some details are right, but yes, they're mostly wrong." Amin ko sakanya at bigong binaba ang folder kong hawak, "I can't believe my dad did this, I'm really sorry.."

He nodded, "it's fine.."

"He fooled you and your family, Ezekiel. It was not fair."

"He must have done that for a reason."

Sinimangutan ko siya, "yeah, for the fucking company. He loved Abagnale Malls more than me that way."

"Hey, don't say that.." maingat niyang sabi, I know he's thinking that this is one of the delicate topics to talk about.

I sighed, "still.. it's not fair," matalas kong sabi, "you know me the wrong way."

"I knew you first the wrong way," he corrected, "but it eventually changed into the right ones as I live my days together with you."

Goddamn it! His way with words!

"You don't know me enough," sabi ko sakanya kasi totoo naman, at ganun din ako sakanya.

He nodded in agreement, "we can change that."

Bumuntong-hininga nalang ako. Him and his enthusiasm. Him and his pride. Him and his precision. Like he can always predict the future. Like he can always bend and turn things his way.

Perks of being a workaholic.. his qualities are top tier in the corporate world, a total fucking new level compared to others and even me.

He's like..

Umigting ang panga ko.

No. Don't ever compare Ezekiel to that monster!

Marahas akong bumuga ng hininga at sinara ang folder, the folder containing the disinformation of mine my father sent to them.

Dahil sa usapan namin dati sa Palawan, sinabi ko sakanya na once na makauwi na kami, babasahin ko yung info ko na nasa kanya at titingnan kung gaano 'yon ka-mali. I know it's manipulated, misleading, and false but I didn't know it's this incorrect!

Amputa, ang tama lang ata ay yung pangalan ko at ng pamilya ko (which hindi pa kumpleto dahil tinago ang kuya ko!), and my other basic facts like age, birthday, and occupation!

My father even hid the fact that I partied a lot in my teenage years!

It's like he cleaned all my dirt! Not that I consider those as dirt!

I'm just grateful for that one thing he hid, you all know what it is. I'm not ready for my current husband to know about him yet.

I sighed heavily, "this is worse than blind dates.."

Tumawa siya sa sinabi ko at tumayo na, he told me good night and to finally rest because of our recent busy day, kakauwi lang namin mula sa Palawan.

Sinundan ko ng tingin kung paano siya lumabas sa kwarto ko. Nag init ang mukha ko nang maalala ang unang gabi namin na magkatabing matulog. It was just yesterday's night, and we did it just once, but it was enough to loosen some screws in my head.

Natulog ata akong sobrang pula kagabi, ramdam ko ang presensya niya sa tabi ko, nakatalikod ako sakanya para hindi niya ako makita at hindi ko siya makita. Nahihiya ako pero mas lalo lang akong kinakabahan.
