SLS #1: No Boyfriend Since Break ✔️

Chapter 20

Life is all about sacrificing but my sacrifice for her is not worthy. Natalia doesn't deserve Zyair at all. No one's deserve him even me. I don't deserve him because I hurted him before and now he was happy with the girl I hate the most.

"Trey is already here. I need to go, enjoy!" Pagpapaalam ko kay Patricia.

Nagtungo ako sa direksiyon ni Trey. Nakangiti akong sinalubong siya sa entrance hall ng Blend and Sweetness Cafe, opening ngayon at maraming customers dito sa loob ng cafe. May bumibili ng cakes, and cupcakes. Lahat ay discounted, at may free taste rin.

Masaya akong makita na masaya at nag-e-enjoy iyong mga customers at mga tao rito sa coffee shops ko. Wala si Mommy rito ngayon dahil nga nagpaiwan siya sa province. She wanted to stay here for good and I respect her decision. I understand her because she wanted to spend her life to her childhood province.

I wanted to stay here too but she refused. Pinauwi niya ako sa Manila para asikasuhin iyong business and works ko, at dahil nga masunurin akong anak ay sumunod na lang ako sa gusto niya.

She wants me to focus on my works, to my business. She also wants me to find my man. Ilang beses ko na sinabi sa kaniya na hindi ko kailangan ang lalaki sa buhay. I can live happy without a man in my life.

"Wow! Successful ka na, Alora. I'm so proud of you," he mumbled as he hug me.

"Thank you! But without your help I can't finished to design the whole event." An angelic smile formed on my lips. "Thank you because you never tend to leave me."

"Of course! I won't leave you again. I'm not a jerk anymore, Alora. I already changed..."

Yes, he did. He already changed. For the past four months, he proved to me that he already changed, from a jerk and cheater back then. He switch her personality to a good man and gentleman. But still I can't return his feelings for me.

He does likes me but I don't like him. I like someone else but someone owns him and that's not me.

Isang tango lang ang sinagot ko sa kaniya. Pinakilala ko na si Trey sa ibang investors pati na rin kay Zyair at mabuti na lang ay hindi napansin ni Trey iyong masamang tingin ni Zyair sa kaniya. Kapag nagkataon na nakita niya ay panigurado gulo. Kilala ko si Trey at ayaw na ayaw nitong tinititigan siya ng masama. Ayaw kasi ni Trey sa mayabang at maangas.

Lumayo muna ako kay Trey at nagtungo sa tahimik na lugar para sagutin ang tawag ni Mommy.

"Mommy bakit?" Agad kong tanong nang masagot ko ang tawag niya.

"I just want to congratulate you, Anak. I'm happy for your and proud. You open another home for everyone. Continue what you are doing, Alora, continue helping everyone through your work hard..."

I can't myself but to me emotional when I heard her message to me. How I'm thankful to have a mother like her. Hindi niya pinaramdam sa akin na disappointed siya, she always makes me feel that she was proud of me.

"Thank you, Mommy. Hindi ako magiging ganito kung hindi dahil sa 'yo. You raised me well, you made me a good person. You never teach me to be evil. Thank you for being a good mother to me, Mommy." I almost cried after I finished my words.

My mother is not perfect, she make mistakes but for me she is... she is perfect and she loves me so much, and I love her too.

Tinapos ko na ang pag-uusap namin ni Mommy. I wiped my tears using my left hands. Huminga ako ng malalim at masayang ngumiti, hindi isang pekeng ngiti kung hindi isang totoong ngiti.

"Who is that guy?"

I turned around and look at the person who asked me, it's Zyair.

I raised my brows on him. "What do you care? It's none of your business!"

His eyes darkened as his jaw clenched. "Siya ba ang pinalit mo sa akin? Kaya ba tinulak mo ako papalayo dahil may iba ka na?"

I gasped and rolled my eyes.

What the hell! Saan niya nakukuha ang mga katagang iyan? At saka anong pakialam niya? As far as I know, he already have Natalia is his fucking life.

"It's none of your business, Remington."

Tatalikuran ko na sana siya ngunit agad niya ring nahawakan ang kamay ko at hinila ako patungo sa kitchen. Nilibot ko ang aking mata para tignan kung may tao ba rito sa kitchen at mabuti na lang ay wala dahil lahat ng tao ay busy sa labas.

"Let me go!" I grunted. "You just can't grab me anywhere you want!"

He corner me on the wall. He move closer to me and mumbled. "Stay away to that man, Alora..."

He took a deep sigh. "Hindi mo magugustuhan ang gagawin ko sa lalaking iyon. I don't want seeing you with another man, Alora. I hate it... I really hate it."
