GTM : Between LOVE and REVENGE

Capitolo Diciassette

● Why ●

○○○ Trisha's Punto di vista ○○○

Kalagitnaan na ng September pero walang nagbago sa buhay ko, away bati pa rin kami ni Aye. Pero alam niyo ba, yung feeling na ang sarap niyang kasama kasi nakakatawa siya at yung feeling na paghindi mo siya naka-usap o nakita ng saglit sa isang araw hindi mabubuo ang araw mo. Kainis kaya iyon. Actually ay papunta na ako doon sa opisina nila Soriano. We have a meeting, we need to discuss something.

"Good Morning Ms. Hanazono." bati sa akin ng mga empleyado.

"Morning." bati ko rin sa kanila. Pagkapasok ko sa conference room, napataas ang kilay ko, himala andoon si Aye.

Tumango lang siya sa akin at nginisian, I shrugged my shoulder and smiled at him.

"Aye este Mr. Gray, I didn't expect you to be here." sabi ko, I fucking slipped. He raised his eyebrows at me before letting a deep chuckle. He just gave me a mysterious smile afterwards. Ayan!! Ayan na naman tayo sa mysterious smile ehhh. Ewan ko ngingiti siya sa mga katrabaho niya, yung ngiting everyday use pero sa akin naiiba.

"Ehem." ubo nung isa kaya napatingin ako, si Charles pala, kaya tinaasan ko siya ng kilay.

"So let start the meeting." sabi ni Mrs. Soriano, when I say Mrs. Soriano, Charles' wife. Wala rito ngayon ang mag-asawang Soriano na matanda.

Inexplain na naman nila about sa new project na mall na na-move by December.

Wait, December??

"Excuse me, I need some clarification. Did you say the project will start on December?? Do you have already the sketch?? The Engineer?? Architect?? Equipment needed?? Materials?? Did you compute the overall expenses??" sabat ni Aye. Napatango naman ako, hindi ako aware, I mean kaya ka nagmemeeting para sa mall pero hindi ako inform na this year agad.

"Yes we already have everything, we compute the expenses, we hired a excellent engineer as well architect--" pinutol ko siya.

"Move it on January---" sabi ko. Nanlaki ang mata ng dalawa kaya lang naputol bigla ehh.

"No we can't Ms. Hanazono we already arrange it. You ca--" singit na naman ni Kath na nanlalaki ang mata.

"NO. I said move it on January. It's fucking holiday. Yes I know they won't work during Christmas day though I want them to cherish the rest of their Christmas season with their family. Bakit, ano ba kinakatakot nito kung January pa ang start, magagawa pa rin naman siya at maiitatayo. " sabi ko na may awtoridad. Napa-mysterious smile na naman si Aye, this man.

"Okay Ms. Hanazono. I'll move it on the 3rd week of January and it's final already." sabi ni Charles na walang nagawa. Wala ka talagang magagawa dahil sisirain ko lahat ng plano mo. Either I move it or cancel it. Papahiripan kita tutal sunod sunuran ka rin ehh.

Nang matapos ang meeting pinauna ko lahat ayoko nga makipagsiksikan. Naiwan kaming apat : Me, Aye, and the 2 Soriano's.

"Make sure I will not be embarrass in this project because I'm one of the sponsor right?? I only want the best, so make sure that project is among the best." sabi ko na nakangisi.

"Aye... I mean Mr. Grey let's go. We still have something to talk." sabi ko. Tumawa naman si Aye na kaya napatingin silang lahat oo kasi kasama niya yung secretary at iba pang empleyado nila Charles. Kahit yung dalawa at mga kasama ko. Namula tuloy ako sa hiya. He fucking laugh which never happen lalo na pag maraming tao.

"Just go on Lie (Pronounce as: Li) I'll just pretend I didn't hear anything." sabi niya kaya hinila ko na yung secretary ko sa sobrang hiya kahit kunot noo pa si Charles.

"Lie!! Wait up hahaha" he said between his laugh.

Uhghhhhh damn it.

Kumain na lang kami sa cafè saglit dito sa Soriano na nasa tapat lang ng canteen.

"So about our project when we will start??" tanong niya.

"3rd Week of January." I simply said kaya napa-ubo siya.

"3RD WEEK OF JANUARY!?!?!" tanong niya na nanlalaki ang mata. Tumango ako.

"Hmmm I think I know why." seryosong saad niya.

"Tell me your thoughts about it." sabi ko.

"Gusto mo silang tapatan, tama ba ako?? Does our business includes in your revenge??" tanong niya. Napatigil ako sa sinabi niya, tumango ako sa kanya tas umiling naman siya.

"Really Lie... I believe in you, I know you can do whatever you want but risking something especially the one that took you for years to build in something like that is not really a good plan." sabi niya sa akin nang seryoso.

"What do you mean by that??" tanong ko. He just stare at me at wala akong nakuhang sagot.

Bigla siya nag-aya na umalis at inihatid na niya ako sa condo ko, wala siyang kibo kaya tahimik na lang  din ako. Galit, iyan iyong nararamdaman ko ngayon, galit siya.

When I enter in my condo, I went to the kitchen to grab some snacks. Habang kumakain ako ay may tumawag. Hindi naman ako matitiis ni Aye kaso hindi ko talaga gets bakit siya galit. He knows about my revenge the moment we open to each other which is noong last time pa. Hindi naman siya ganito.

*Legend: Italicize words + [ ]: JR// Bold Words: Trisha*

I knew it Aye!! I know you can't resist me and stay mad for me, it's your hobby kaya, talking to me before you sleep.

[It's me Trisha. Charles not Mr. Gray.]

Oh tsk. What do you want at this time Mr. Soriano??

[Do I still have a chance??]

Chance for what ??

[Chance to be with you again.]

That question again?? Charles you have your own family na. Stop bothering me!!

[Bakit?? Si Mr. Gray na ba??]

Ano na naman ba problema mo??

[Ikaw!! Ikaw ang problema ko. Miss na kita Trisha. Please bumalik ka na sa akin hihiwalayan ko siya. I'll divorce to her!! I can support my daughter.]

Charles, stop it!! Huwag na huwag mong gagawin iyan. Alam ko at naranasan kong lumaki ng walang magulang, na hindi kumpleto ang pamilya kaya huwag na huwag mong gagawin iyan sa anak mo.

[Trisha!! Parang awa mo na. I want you back...]

Don't you understand our situation Charles?? Don't you understand what am I saying?? No Charles, I don't want you back!!

[Hindi kita titigilan hanggang umoo ka.]

Hindi rin ako magsasawa na umayaw. Bahala ka na sa buhay mo. Pag may meeting at sasabihin ka idaan mo na lang sa secretary ko. I don't want to hear anything from you.

Bwisit. Makapagpalit na nga ng number. As in magpapalit ako ngayong gabi, kung kailan mag-aalas-dyes ng gabi. Tumawag bigla ang secretary ko, Charles wanted to talk to me again and he is asking for my number. I told her just dismissed him. Pake ko riyan, hindi nga kami bati ni Aye putsa. Argh Aye!!
