Allison Villanueva: Chasing Pavements

Chapter 14

Pagkapasok na pagkapasok ni Harvey nagpalinga linga na siya agad para hanapin kung san nakaukupang table si Mathew na kanina pa malamang naghihintay sa kanya dito sa isang cafe. A smirk formed on his lips when he saw him sitting in some corner looking so busy thinking on something. Agad naman siyang naglakad palapit dito at kumuha ng atensyon ni mathew na agad namang napabaling ang tingin sa kanya na umupo sa kabilang upuan paharap sa kanya.Hes staying along in the city when Mathew called him up and said he's in town.

"Kelan ka pa nandito". bungad niya kay Mathew na ngayon inaabala ang sarili sa pag-inom ng kanyang kape. He just look at him silently and put down the cup.

"two weeks". he answered shortly. Ramdam niyang may kung anong meron kay Mathew na talagang problemado ito ngayon sa kanyang paningin. " Ikaw hanggang kelan ka nandito?". he asked back to Harvey and saw how Harvey's face turn into undefined expression and look away.

Nang walang makuhang sagot si Mathew ito naman ang napangisi."after all you still following her". sabay iling at inabot ng kanyang kape.

"My business to settle". Harvey answered with some annoyance. At walang ganang nagoder.

"yeah, coz I have mine too". biglang sumeryoso ang mukha ni Mathew.

"Is this why you asked to come by". tanong ni Harvey na may pagtataka. Mathew's eyes turned dark and it just mean that he's thinking the hard way.

"gusto ko lang malaman na sumusunod ka sa kasunduan natin". he said firmly. bringing back the promised Harvey assured before.

"tungkol na naman ba to sa assistant mo na si Bonita?". kunot noong tanong ni Harvey dahil noon pa naman ay may duda na si Mathew sa babaeng yun at napatunayan na niyang hindi si Allison na nagtatago sa ibang katauhan. He investigated her and jay help him to do it.

"yes". deretsang sagot ni Mathew. Harvey shut his mouth and let Mathew speak further about her. Mathew is very tricky man, he won't give interest on things that don't have to caught his attention. Kaya nagtataka siya na bat hanggang ngayon di ito mapanatag para kay Allison na din. " Before I went here, I saw how different that woman to her ordinary self when she was able to save my man and hersef from that incident....this frustrates me pero talagang nakikita ko si Allison sa kanya Harvey, kaya kaylangan ko masiguro na malayo siya sa akin". he explained with those full of longings for Allison.

"okay, para mapanatag ka aalamin ko mismo kay jay kung nasaan sila mismo and from there I will find a way to do my thing". He said without taking his eyes on him.

"Thank you pare". A thin smile form on Mathew's lips and a nod from Harvey makes this conversation ends. then they talk more about thing even Harvey's wedding that will happen soon. but still what runnning unto athews mind is how he can trap Bonita from her own secrets. He knows it, he can feel it that there's something going on without his notice and Kaloy will be his card.

Iritang inendcall ni Allison ang phone niya. She starts to worry where the hell Kaloy now. Kanina pa itong madaling araw wala at may pinaasikaso daw sa kanya si Mathew. And these rain pours heavily that the fog start to cover whole area. Nagsisimula na ding humangin ng malakas. 

"answer it Kaloy". She's stomping her feet waiting him to pick it up but another voice operator stating and she desperately hang it up. Sumilip siya sa labasan at wala na siyang makitang malinaw sa alabad dahil nababalot na ng ulat at hangin ang paligid.
