Take me to your HEART (GxG) : BOOK 1

Chapter 21 : Officially Missing YOU

Yeah, I know i'm harsh by saying that but she leave me with no choice but to spill it out para tigilan na nya ako.

Hindi ko na inantay ang sasabihin nya and shifted back my attention to Daphne na nuon ay naiilang na nakatitig sa akin. She must be shock by the way i reacted toward her friend dahil kahit hindi sabihin, halata namang narinig nya ang sinabi ko dito.

"Daphne, inform me asap kapag tumawag itong si Mr. Manrique of EyeSpy okay?" habilin ko sa kaharap.

"y-yes M-miss" she said stuttering. Mukhang hindi pa nakakabawi sa pagsusungit na nagawa ko.

"thank you" i replied at tinapunan sya ng tango at tipid na pagngiti.

Afterwards, i walk towards the Elevator lobby habang kipit-kipit ang brown envelope na ibinigay sa akin and as soon as my feet set inside the Elevator lift. i inspected it . Nagdadalawang isip pa akong buksan iyon but when i'm about to open it, i heard the elevator arrived at my floor.

Nagmamadali akong lumabas ng lift and entered in my Suite. Halos kapapasok ko pa lang at akmang bubuksan na sana ang bitbit ng sa ikalawang pagkakataon ay maabala ako ng tumunog ang intercom. I answered it only to find out that it was Daphne.

She informed me that i have a call from the man who sent me the envelope. "let me talk to him" i said, cutting her off before she asked me if i wanted to take the call.

After a while, i heard deep toned voice of a man. He greeted me first at nagpakilala. When he mentioned his First Name i quickly recognized him.

He was the Man i hired few months ago to investigate one particular person.

********

I was in my deep thought habang nakatulala sa center table at tinatapunan ng tingin ang nagkalat na pictures at documents galing sa investigator na inupahan ko. Actually, nawala na ito sa isip ko. Ilang buwan na rin ba kasi ang lumipas when i frustratedly ask this EyeSpy Company na gawan ng background check ang isang tao na pilit kong hinahanapan ng butas para mapaalis sa sariling kumpanya.

Maybe it was a desperate move sa side ko, pero kasi, wala na akong maisip na paraan para mapatalsik sya ng mga panahon na iyon. Hindi ko sya mahanapan ng grounds with regards sa pagta-trabaho nya dahil sa totoo lang, she was very effective on her position. In fact, i was in denial during that time to admit that she exceeds my expectation.

Ikaw lang naman kasi ang may problema Gabby. Louise, is a nice person and you knew that deep within you . daing ng utak ko.

Kung bakit kasi hindi mo na lang tanggapin sa sarili mo na mahal mo na yung tao at kailangan mo pang magpigil? susog ng kabilang panig.

I sighed sharply sa pilit na isiniksiksik nito at kapagdaka'y padaskol na sumandal sa couch habang naguguluhang napatutop sa sariling mukha.

Sa totoo lang, i already accepted the fact na mahal ko na sya. Iyon nga ang dahilan kung kaya ako pumunta sa Site Office the other week sa kabila ng ini-indang injury. Pinilit kong pumasok dahil sa kagustuhang makita sya. I was planning to invite her na mag-lunch out or dinner sana.

Tsssss....

I even bought her Vanilla Cake para sana pagpapa-thank you dahil inalagaan nya ako ng mga nakaraang araw. But when i'm about to approach their cubicle para ibigay iyon, i saw this delivery boy na nag-abot ng bouquet of flowers sa kanya. Thou the situation looks awkward to me at that moment, i found it still gullible, but not until i saw her reaction na animo tuwang-tuwa sa natanggap na bulaklak. The smiled that quickly registered on my face was slowly fade away at nahalinhan ng hindi malamang pag-aalinlangan.
