The Ruler Has Returned (R18)

CHAPTER 48

I think I caught them off guard.

They all looked at me like I am a crazy woman.

Nilingon ko si Keith at napanganga siya. Why does he act so surprised? Totoo naman iyong sinabi ko ah! I am his new fiancé.

"What's the meaning of this?!" Tila galit na sabi ng matandang kasama ni raffy.

Nabaling kay raffy ang tingin ko, bakit tahimik lang siya? At Bakit parang wala siyang paki alam sa nangyayari? She looks bored.

Ilang minuto ding walang umimik at nakatutok lang silang lahat saakin. May ginawa ba akong masama at kung makatitig itong mga ito ay tila ako nakapatay ng tao.

Tinuro ako ng matandang kasama ni raffy. "You're keith's fiancé?" Nangunot ang noo niya.

Tumango ako.

"Yes. I am keith's fiance. Kakapropose lang niya saakin kahapon."

Nadako kay Keith ang mga mata namin. Pinagpapawisan ang kanyang noo at hindi mapakali ang kanyang mga mata.

"Keith, whats wrong?" Tanong ko.

"I- Im sorry... this is all my fault." Biglang tugon niya.

Maluha luha rin ang kanyang mga mata at lumapit sa matandang kasama ni raffy. "Mr. Guzman, I am sorry. I and raffy broke up. We don't love each other. We never did."

Namilog ang mata ng matanda pati si kento ay natulala. Si raffy naman ay parang walang paki alam sa nangyayari and now I know why.

Lumuhod si keith sa harap ng matanda.
"Please... sir don't take the share away. Hindi po kaya ng company namin kapag wala po ang company ninyo."

Agresibong lumapit si kento kay keith at kwinelyuhan ito. "What the fuck are you doing, son?! Kneeling infront of him?!" Galit na diin ni kento.

Tumulo ang luha ni keith.

"I'm sorry, dad. I made a mistake. Our company is going down. Hindi tumataas ang sales naten kaya humingi ako ng tulog kay raffy."

Kinabig ni keith ang tatay niya. "But it didn't worked out."

"Why you didn't tell me?!" Nag igting ang panga ng tatay niya.

"I.... I don't wanna disappoint you, dad." Marahan siyang napaluhod. "Forgive me. I am such a disappointment."

Nakakaawa tingnan ang mahal ko.

But I never ever thought of this. Hindi ko akalain na nalulugi ang company niya and I can't even help him. Wala akong magawa sa mahal ko. He is keeping this to himself and trying to fix it himself pero bigo ito.

Nilapitan ni Felexis ang anak.

"You were never a disappointment, anak." Hinaplos nito ang likod at tinulungan niya itong tumayo.

"You should of told us at ng matulungan ka namin. Hindi naman kami magagalit ng daddy mo." Dagdag niya.

"Dont let your pride and ego get in the way. It is okay to fail, my dear. We are not going to judge you." Ngumiti ang nanay niya at niyakap si keith.

"We will going to fix this. Me and your dad will help you."

"I am sorry for this happened, Mr. Guzman."
Paumanhin ni kento sa matanda.

Mr. Guzman's face looks like he is trying to sympathized. He probably never saw this coming he was just dragged in by raffy.

Napapahid ng pawis si Mr.Guzman. "I... I won't back out to our contract."
