THE MAN THAT WAS NEVER MINE

5

Maraming tanong na ang naglalaro sa utak niya. Gusto niyang malaman kung bakit nandoon ang ama niya. Natatakot na siya baka kasi sinabi na ni Sebastian ang tungkol sa kanila pero hindi naman siguro kasi maraming tao doon. Hinihintay na talaga niyang makabalik si Sebastopol kasi nais na talaga niyang magtanong dito lalo't hindi pa natatahimik ang utak niya. Hindi kalaunan ay bumukas ang pinto. "Sino ka?"

"Sino karin ba?" Tumayo ito malapit sa kanya.

"Ako ang unang nagtanong, Sebastian Vinogradev."

"Fine! After me, it's you turn to tell about yourself." There's a tone of finality in his voice.

Tumango siya at seryosong tiningnan ito mga mata para i-challenge. "Start, I'm listening."

Tumikhim ito bago nagsalita. "I'm Sebastian Nathaniel Enriquez-."

"You're what?! Nathaniel Enriquez? Bakit hindi mo sinabi sa akin?"

"Pwede bang patapusin mo muna ako?"

"Hindi ito ang outcome na inaasahan ko pero pwede kanang magpatuloy." So he's Nathaniel Enriquez the Certified Cassanova. It's great na ang taong gusto ng mga niya na maging asawa niya at ang taong makakapagpasaya sa akin.

He is Sebastian Nathaniel Enriquez Vinogradev. He have companies under the name of Nathaniel Enriquez. Nathaniel Enriquez will always be the respected and self made businessman while Sebastian Vinogradev will always be the true him. The whole world knew Nathaniel Enriquez. His friends, his family and to his business aquintances,for then he will always be Nathaniel. He never let them called him Sebastian. No one called him Sebastian because he always introduced himself as Nathaniel but not with Samantha. He introduced himself to Samantha as Sebastian. Samantha and Sebastian are names that match. "I'm a CEO of three big companies. My mother's company, my father's company and my own companies. Your turn."

Dumistansya ito sa kanya at umupo sa pinakamalapit. "I'm Samantha Bree Villanueva, that's all I can say. I'm not good at telling the people who I am so it's better to search who I am." Tumingin ito sa kanya.

Tumango siya at tinungo niya ang table niya. Binuksan niya ang laptop niya at ni research niya si Samantha.

Samantha Bree Villanueva is a the only heiress of the successful company called International Villanueva Hotel. She have won a lot beauty pageant since she's just a little kid. Sa edad na pitong taong gulang ay sumili na siya sa mga training ng martial arts at hindi nagtagal ay naging black belter siya apat na klase ng martial arts. She's certified heartbreaker in her own way, a spoiled brat, a rebel teenager, a beautiful socialite who mingles with the same class and she is the queen of social media who bets the actresses and models when it comes to fame. "You have a nice profile!" Natatawang sabi niya.

"Are you mocking me? The media branded me with so many negative names and you find it nice."

"Hanggang ngayon ba ang tinagurian ka pa rin bilang the rebel teenager?"

"Oo at nakakinis kasi kahit hindi naman totoo iyon."

"You're still a rebel but no longer a teenager."

"It's the other way around. I'm not a rebel but still a teenager."

Hindi na naproseso ni Sebastian ang ibang sinabi ni Samantha. Ang salitang palaging naglalaro sa utak ni ay teenager. TEENAGER! "Ilang taon kana ba?"

"I'm seventeen turning eighteen in seven months."

"You're what? Seventeen, shit! Fuck, are you kidding me? " Tumayo siya at lumakad patungo kay Samantha.

"Yeah!"

"If you're seventeen then bakit ka isang guro. As far as I've known ay hindi tatanggapin ang isang minor de edad para magturo kahit gaano man ito kagaling."
