Chasing The Bad Girl

K23-Lucas

Seems like it's gonna rain again. Darkness seems to dominate again. Sana lang hindi gaya ng dilim ang nararamdaman ng ilan. But I highly doubt that. May mga pagkakataon na sinasabayan ka talaga ng langit sa pagluha. I am only thinking of one person who could have leaning on the wall and crying but more than that, I just wish that person isn't crying anymore.

Inaayos ko na ang gamit ko para umuwi. Hindi rin naman ako makapagconcentrate because honestly, lumilipad ang isip ko. It was like getting in the past again..Iyong mga araw na umuulan din at puro iyakan ang nangyari. It was pure torture. Ayoko ng maulit. Ayoko narin umiyak..could that even be possible?

I just wish this day would end without me crying.

Napahinto ako sa paglalakad nang makita kong nakatalikod si Luigi at may kinakausap na naman sa phone. Dumadalas ata ang isang ito sa teritoryo ko. Wala akong banat sa kanya ngayon kaya nilagpasan ko lang ito but unfortunately, mukhang ako na naman ang sadya nito dahil narinig kong tinawag ako nito..this time as Aldea.

Now that's new..he called me not as Samantha..I think this is much better. Pakiramdam ko kasi kapag Samantha ang tawag niya sa akin ay tunog endearment..he's the only one who's too perceived to call by that name pupwede namang Sam nalang.

I shook my head. It shouldn't be a big deal. As for courtesy, I faced him with a poker face. I sighed.

" Ano na naman? Look kung tungkol ito sa nangyari kay Laureen, I realized na wala akong kasalanan doon. She was just not careful with her actions. Besides, it wasn't my intention. But I truly feel sorry that she has to undergo such. I heard she and the baby is safe so..--"

"I came here not because of her.." he said. I arch my brow. Tinignan ko si Mr. Stutter as if giving him the sign to leave us alone first. Buti naman at utal lang siya at hindi slow..nakuha naman na niya ang ibig kong iparating.

"Then what? Anything that we haven't discussed yet? Like..business? Hindi naman tayo business partner so what's for the show this time?" I smirked at him.

"I want to know what's your plan for Mendrez Industries. I know you..alam kong hindi mo naman talaga gustong humawak ng malalaking reaponsibilidad..so I believe you don't have any plan to manage M.I."

Napaismid ako. Akala ko ba walang kinalaman kay Laureen? Then what is this now? This guy is really unpredictable. Iniisip din ba niyang agawin sa akin ang M.I? At ano raw..he knows me well? Ang taas naman ata ng tingin niya sa sarili.

"Oh I see..mukhang wala ngang kinalaman kay Laureen..well..kung ano mang plano ko sa kompanya ng asawa mo, wala ka na sigurong pakealam doon. It's mine now. So you better back-off." Naiiritang sagot ko. I was about to turn my back when he held my arm.

"You don't know what you're doing. Mapapahamak ka sa ginagawa mo. Just let me buy the company. " agad akong bumitaw sa hawak nito.

"Ano ako shonga? Inagaw ko na nga, I mean, pinaghirapan kong agawin tapos sayo ko din ibibigay? Huh! Mr. Fortalejo....are we on the same planet? Sige nga, If you are interested with M.I bakit hindi mo pa kinuha noon?"

"It's not my thing." He simply said.

"So ngayon sinasabi mong expert ako sa pang-aagaw ganun?" I sarcastically said. Sunud-sunod ang pag-iling nito.

"It's not what I mean...sabihin mo nalang sa akin kung anong balak mo sa kompanya..are you going to sell it? Then tell me kung kanino. " napahinto ako bigla. An idea just popped in mind.

Lumapit ako dito. Nakita ko kung paano ito napalunok sa ginawa ko. Unti-unti akong lumapit at hinagod ng mga kamay ko ang magkabilang dibdib nito as if taking off some dust on his suit then I gave him an intense look.
