Desiring Chances (Completed)

Chapter 21

Napasinghap ako at napailing iling na lang s kawalan ng sasabihin. "Damn I can't believe you, akala ko ba regalo mo sa asawa mo yung virginity mo? Bat mo binigay?" Taas kilay kong tanong.

Napanguso siya at saka umiwas ng tingin. "Hindi ako makatanggi eh"

Napabuntong hininga na lamang ako at napailing. "Temtasyon nga naman"

"Right, it was so tempting that I can't stop myself already"

Napaseryoso ang mukha ko. "It's not just temptation, it's also about how you felt towards that person. Hindi mo ibibigay ang sarili mo kung wala kang nararamdaman, kung wala kang nararamdaman you can stop yourself anytime but if there is... you can't stop your heart and feeling from moving in its own"

"Tama ka naman, mapipigilan mo talaga ang sarili mo kung ayaw mo"

Angela said and sipped at her amerikano.

Nag-usap lang kami ng kung ano ano hanggang sa gumabi na at kailangan kong umuwi. Angela said there's a drinking session again, but I don't want to come. I already texted the others about it, they said it okay.

They understood me very well, we understand each other. If someone who's in stake, we'll do everything just to make her feel happy. We'll make stupid things just to make them laugh and to cheer them up.

However, there's a lot of times we'd fight because of personal problem. And it always turned into a good lessons to all of us.

How I cherish our friendship.

"MA'AM, tumawag po ang sekretarya ng daddy niyo. Sasagutin niyo po ba?" My secretary asked while holding the telephone.

I stop reading the presentation and looked at her. Nag-iisip ako kung sasagutin ko ba o hindi, pero wala naman sigurong masama kung sasagutin ko diba?

"Okay, pass the call to me"

"Yes ma'am"

Second later my telephone rang and I didn't even bother to say hi.

"What do you want dad? I have a lot of things to do" I said emotionlessly.

[Is that how you greet your father Nicole? Really?]

I almost rolled my eyes when I heard Charmee's voice in the other line. Nakaramdam padin ako ng kaunting inis sa kaniya pero hindi naman gaano kalaki para sigawan ko siya.

"What do you want?"

Charmee chuckled and click her tongue inside her mouth. [Well... your dad's company is at stake right now. We need your help]

Napasandal ako sa upuan ko at nilaro laro ang ballpen na hawak ko. "Gave me a good reason to do that"

[Sasabihin mo talaga yan? It's your dad's company! Ofcourse you need to help him! I need five million now!]

Pagak akong napatawa sa sinabi niya. "Is that how you talk to me Charmee? You should have respected me, if you want my help... gain my trust first"

Sabi ko at pinatay ang tawag sa sobrang inis. Tatawag siya para manghingi ng ganoon kalaking pera sakin na para bang isa akong bangko na hihingan niya ng pera kahit kelan!? Nakakairita silang makasama!

Eto ba talaga ang pamilya na pinili ni dad kapalit sa akin!? Ni hindi siya matulungan ngayong nasa piligro siya!?

Napahilot ako sa sintido ko sa sobrang inis. I shouldn't think about it for now, I'll ignore their messages and calls from now on. Ayoko ng makarinig ng kung ano pa sa kanila. Nakakairitang marinig ang boses nila na akala mo kung sinong mataas.

How dare them ask for help after what they did!? Hindi ko pinansin ang ginawa nilang pagpapakatanga sa akin pero hindi naman ibig sabihin nun ay nakalimutan ko na! They hurt my feelings and my ego! Parang sinabi lang nila na wala akong kwenta dahil sa ginawa nila!
