Under the Stars (Tonjuarez Series I)

UTS 17

Chapter 17

I already brought my car today, inagahan ko nalang ang alis para may allowance ang oras ko incase maabutan ako traffic. I should be punctual since I am just starting to work, dapat wala silang masabi sa performance ko especially my boss.

Nakakahiya naman sa boss kong always on time at hindi nag eexceed sa break time.

Mabagal ang takbo ng sasakyan ko pag pasok ko ng parking, naghahanap ng space. Sa hindi masyadong kaduluhan na ako nakahanap ng available space.

I parked my car and immediately went out, dala-dala ang handbag ko ay nag simula na akong maglakad. I am wearing a nude coordinate skort, not revealing but also not too formal at hindi katulad ng kahapon ang nilugay ko nalang ang buhok ko.

I locked my car and started to head to the elevator, ngunit napahinto ako ng may makuha ng isang sasakyan ang atensyon ko. It is a shiny black mercedes-benz sedan,

CDN 0407

CDN? Caden? 0407? April seven?

A sudden cold feeling went through my whole body. A flashback of the past replayed in my mind.

If this is customized then maaaring kay Caden nga ito, but why would he put the date of his accident as his plate number? Isn't that so weird? Or maybe because it is also his birthday?

But what I am feeling right now is weirder, humigpit ang hawak ko sa handle ng aking bag. Like a stress ball, I gripped on it tightly. Ni hindi ko maihakbang ang mga paa ko, as I kept staring at the plate number.

I knew being here is a bad decision, I knew that meeting him again can trigger something in me. I know this whole situation doesn't make sense, but I still continue not expecting that the past will still affect me right now.

Huminga ako ng malalim, nanginginig ang kamay kong kinuha ang cellphone sa loob ng bag not moving my feet at all to walk away. I dialed Gabi's number, my doctor.

Mabilis niya itong sinagot.

"Yara? Is there a problem?"

"I-I think we should talk."

"Are you having panic attack?" nag-aalalang tanong nito.

"I saw him again, I-I think that triggered something in me again."

"Do you want to meet in person?"

"Yes, please."

Nag desisyon kaming magkita mamayang lunch, she chose to dine in sa malapit na resto lang dito sa company. I agreed to her, I am thankful that my doctor is very considerate to me. She told me to calm daw and gather my self, iyon ang ginawa ko.

After a few minutes ay naglakad na ako ulit, I composed my posture before entering the elevator. Nakarating ako sa office at andito na rin sila Mira.

"Good morning, Yara!" bati nito.

"Good morning," balik ko.

"Hi!" salubong rin ni Mark, I smiled at him.

Pumunta na ako sa mesa ko at inilapag ang bag, I approached Mira.

"Andyan na ba si Sir Caden?" tanong ko,

"Oo, magkasunod kami na dumating. Nagulat nga ako at ang aga niya ngayon." sagot naman nito.

"Ah, okay thank you." I nodded, she smiled at me.

I just made sure kung nandito na siya, malamang ay sasakyan niya nga ang nakita ko kanina. Umupo na ako sa upuan habang nag-iisip. Why would he put the date of his accident as his plate number? Knowing Caden I know he will make himself special, kaya hindi niya palalampasin ang mga ganito na pagpapa customized pati ng plate number.
