Six Months Agreement with Mr. Arrogant (Completed)

Kabanata 84

"He's currently in the meeting but it's boring there so I went here to talk to you."

Face your fears. Napakadaling sabihin pero kapag nasa mismong sitwasyon ka na, mahirap pala.

I opened my mouth but since my throat feels dry, no word came out.

"Vanna of Baguio..." she mumbled, "How can I be so stupid? It's you!"

Umawang ang labi ko nang saglit na dumaan sa mukha niya ang amusement. Parang tangang-tanga siya sa sarili at umiling-iling pa.

Gone the formal Perla Lavaigne she looked at me softly.

"It took four years for me to realize that my son is a grown up man, he needs guidance but I shouldn't decide for him," she let out a deep sigh. "I want to talk to you because after this, I'll probably went to Sicily or somewhere in America to spend my retirement days. Baka hindi na ako magkaroon ng pagkakataon na kausapin ka dumaan lamang ako para kamustahin ang kompanya pagkatapos ng nangyari sa Greece..."

"M-Ma'am..."

She raised an eyebrow and it made me stop.

My heart is thumping hard and loud inside my chest while anticipating for what she'll say next.

"Ma'am? I thought it's Mama."

Napanganga ako sa kanyang harapan.

I must be dreaming. This can't be.

She smirked at me.

"What? You can call me mommy, inay, nanay... whatever you want just let my grand daughter call me, Lala."

Dumoble ang kalabog ng puso ko.

She said what? Is this real? Because it's too good to be true!

"I was so cruel. Hindi ko narealize na tamang babae na pala ang pinaalis ko sa buhay ng anak ko," she said gently while lowering her head. "Galit na galit sya nung malaman niya ang ginawa ko pero akala nya umalis ka dahil masaya ka kasama si Kendrick La Alba. You're with him right?"

"T-That's my Kuya... K-Kendrick La Alba is my half brother..."

Her eyes widened.

"Oh! Really?!" she asked dramatically while her pearl necklace is dancing with every move, "Alam ba ito ng anak ko?"

Tumango-tango ako.

"Uhm... S-Sinabi ko po," sagot ko sa namamaos na tinig.

Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na hindi niya ako sinasaktan at kalmado lamang siyang nakikipag-usap ng kaswal sa akin.

Pumasok ang kanyang sekretarya at marahang ng excuse sa amin.

"Madame, your next appointment is waiting po," anang babae.

"Well then, mauna na ako Vanna may meeting pa ako sa aking doktor," tumayo siya at ngumiti ng marahan, "Welcome to the family."

Hindi ko naiproseso kaagad ang kanyang sinabi.

Nawala na siya at lahat sa aking paningin ay nakatulala lamang ako pinto kung saan siya lumabas.

I gasped when I felt the pain from my hand. I pinched it hard and felt the pain. Im not dreaming!

Wala sa sarili akong naglakad palabas para sana sundan ang ginang ngunit pagkalabas ko sa opisina ay saka naman naglabasan ang mga tao sa malaking conference room.

May mga nauna na ngunit nang matanaw ko kung sino ang bitbit ng dalawang pulis ay hindi maiwasang magtindigan ang mga balahibo ko.

It's the old hag who tried to harass me in the elevator.
