The Devil's One and Only Love ★

Thirty-if i were you

and the way i see it. alam kong itutuloy nya talaga yun kapag sinuway ko sya.

and i hate how im scared of her. takot talaga ako nung ginamitan nya ko ng ganung tono. isang beses nya lang talaga yun nagamit sakin nung kami pa. at yun ay nun kakagaling ko lang galing sa sakit at nagpupumilit akong maglaro ng basketball. nagkataon na nasa conference sya nun. tinawagan ko sya ng para magpaalam nun.

"just try taking a step out. i'll smack your head off." she said seriously and cut the call.

that day i never went out. kahit gano ako kakating kating humawak ng bola di ako lumabas.

and now she's using that tone on me again. does this mean she still care about me?

napangiti nalang ako sa naisip ko. pwede ko namang utuin yung sarili ko.

kahit pakunwakunwari lang. pwede ko namang sabihin na mahal nya pa rin ako.

kahit joke lang.

pinilig ko yung ulo ko para mawala yung iniisip ako. sino bang inuuto ko? sarili ko lang naman. maski nga ako di ko mauto.

tang inang buhay to.

"Ma'am nagstart na po yung renovation dito sa Manila. nagreport na po yung inassign nyong Architect." tumango lang ako sa sinabi ni Laiza.

everything is going as planned.

Lexecon is now a working company here. dun nga ako kumuha ng architect para sa renovations eh.

"schedule me a visit two weeks from now." tumango lang si Laiza saka lumabas. lumabas din ako para puntahan yung secretary ni Steven.

"Kaila. is there any pending works that needs an urgent attention?"

"wala naman po. signature lang ni Sir ang kailangan." nakangiting sabi ni Kaila.

"Put all the papers that needs signature in my office. i'll take care of it." tumango lang si Kaila. bumalik na ko sa office ko.

i'm setting a meeting about the polo slash riding club with the girls. for sure we'll spend approximately seven hundred billion dollars. so i really need them here. i'm planning to build a most prestigious polo club ever. with hotels. vacations houses ans everything. i'm going to make this a tourist destination.

ipinilig ko nalang yung ulo ko saka sinimulan yung proposal sa informal settlers.

i'm so engrossed with what i am doing when Laiza informed me that Sammy is outside. i signalled her to let Sammy in. maya maya pa ayan na si Sammy.

"Hi Sis!" she said and kissed my cheeks.

"uhm. hello. what brought you here?" i said. a little bit suprised with her visit.

"Chillin off from work. dito muna ako." nakangising sabi nya saka humiga sa sofa ko.

"Sus. i heard nasa Pilipinas sila Suzanne." i said and bit my lips.

"okay. you got me. hinahanap kasi ako ni Senator." nakangising sabi nya saka tinaas yung paa nya.

"and you think di ka nila mahahanap dito?" i asked.

"duh. two weeks ka palang na nandito. di nila iisipin na nandito ako." nakangising sabi nya saka tumayo. inangat nya yung telepono saka tumawag ng food delivery. napangisi nalang ako saka tinuloy yung ginagawa kong floorplan.

"may i remind you sister that you have a car. they can trace that." i bit my lips to stop myself from smiling. panganga sya sa sinabi ko.

"Oh Shit!" she whispered. she grabbed my macbook and did something with my mac. maya maya ngumisi na sya.
