Runaway Girl (ɢxɢ / ɪɴᴛᴇʀꜱᴇx) ✔️

CHAPTER 7

I drove my way to Beaumanoir Tower and arrived late. Pagpasok ko palang sa lobby ay sinalubong agad ako ni Yohan. Napansin kong balisa ang hitsura nito na para bang kakasabak lang sa isang madugong labanan. I guess napagalitan na naman ito nang isa sa mga board of directors.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Secretary. You seem to be happy." i joked at him.

"Hindi mo magugustohan ang sasabihin ko sayo."

My brows furrowed in confusion. "Why? What seems to be the problem?"

"Your ex number 8 is here."

Natigilan ako. "What the fuck ba't mo pinapasok?"

"Ang kulit kasi e, ilang beses ko ng tinaboy pero ayaw makinig. She was making a scene here and I have no choice but to let her in."

"Shit, ano bang kailangan niya?"

Yohan shrugged his shoulders. "Perhaps she can't accept the fact that you broke up with her?"

I groaned. Nagmamadali akong sumakay sa elevator at pinindot ang 20th floor. Pagdating ko sa taas, as expected nakatingin sakin lahat ng mga emplayado doon. Tiyak magiging center of topic na naman ako pagkatapos neto. Darn it, this is why I don't like bringing women on working places, madami kasing chismosa and I'm sure makakarating ito kay mama.

Pagpasok ko sa opisina, agad kong nakita ang babaeng tinutukoy ni Yohan. Nakaupo ang babae sa visitor's chair habang naka-cross legs.

"Merideth." tawag ko sa kanyang atensyon.

The woman named Merideth gazed at my direction. Her eyes were shooting daggers and bullets at me. "You bitch." she stood up and walked towards me. "Anong sinasabi mong makipag-break!? natagalan lang ako ng uwi tapos makipaghiwalay ka na? How dare you!"

Oh god here we go again, kinailangan ko pang magpaka-plastic ngayon para lang magmukhang convincing. What a great way to start my day.

"Hon, look. I'm really sorry. It's not about you, okay? ako yung may problema at hindi—"

"Oh shut up." putol niya sa ibang sasabihin ko. "Ngayon mo pa gustong makipag-break kung saan may nabuo na tayo?"

I frozed. "W-what?"

Merideth grabs something on her pocket and throw that to me. "I'm pregnant with your child."

My jaw dropped open. I felt like my world suddenly stops from spinning. "N-no way."

"Yes I am, 3 weeks na."

My forehead creased for a second. "3 weeks?" i did a quick math, nawala bigla yung kaba ko. Ha, liar! "Nah, i'm not buying it."

"Hindi ako nakipag-biroan sayo, Ivanka, sayo talaga 'tong dinadala ko at kailangan mo akong panagutan. Ikaw ang huling na ka sex ko bago ako umalis ng pilipinas."

I shook my head, not believing her. Ibinalik ko sa kanya ang Pregnancy Test Kit at nag-cross arms. "Two months tayong wala communication at three weeks kang buntis ngayon, are you sure akin yang dinadala mo?"

Merideth was taken aback, bigla siyang nataranta ngunit agad ding nakabawi. "I-in case you forgot; we didn't used protection that night."

"Yeah, but i didn't came inside you." confident na sabi ko. "I know you Merideth, you fucked around with random people you just met in clubs, huwag mo akong lokohin. Ipapaako mo sakin yang pinagbuntis mo? Hell no. I guess I made the right decision of breaking up with you after all."

Tila napahiya si Merideth, nag-tagis ang bagang niya at padabog na lumabas ng opisina. She didn't even bother to defend herself, ibig sabihin nag-sinungaling lang siya. Mahina akong natawa. The bitch tried but failed. How funny.
