Stuck En Strings (On-Going)

CHAPTER 5

So, this is the part when the main character get an offer, and since he left her with no other choices plus she's also in need...

"You...will buy me?" I clarified.

He only smirked.

"Yeah. Do you want cash or cheq---"

That's it. I've heard enough.

Kanina pa ako nag titimpi sa gagong to ah.

Without thinking for possible aftermath, my hands automatically move, grabbed the glass filled with leftover redtea and throw it directly from his face.

"Ang liit ng mukha mo pero ang tapang ng hiya mo. Aminado akong gwapo ka pero pasensya ka na, hindi ako tanga." I sarcastically hissed and clenched my fist.

Jillian didn't even tried to budge. He was just staring at me in blank expression, all ears. Ni-hindi niya inalintana ang tumutulong redtea mula sa buhok at mukha nito. He don't even mind how his sweatshirt slowly got stained by the beverages I threw. He's calm... and patiently waiting.

"I didn't graduate Suma cumlaude and top the CPA licensure examination para lang maging bayaran at uto-uto. Just in case you didn't know President Neves, I am not a type of business you can easily deal with." I continue, without removing my gaze on him.

Tangina, bahala na kung may pag-sisisihan ako bukas.

"Remember this Neves..."

I knew he's a fucking rich man and living a royal life, but as a person who needs help, this is not the proper way to ask a favor.

I am not a thing to purchase at first place, and I will never forgive him for looking down at me.

Gago ha, bibilhin daw. Sampalin ko siya ng isang kahon kong medal eh.

"Kahit tapatan mo pa ako ng ilang milyon, hindi mo ako mabibili. Fuck off." Padarag kong ibinaba ang basong hawak at inihakbang na ang mga paa paalis.

Mabuti nalang at inarkila niya ang buong paligid, less hassle mag dabog at magalit.

But in the middle of walking away, another pieces of memory registered on my brain.

"Oh wait," Muli akong napahinto sa pag lalakad at bumalik sa harapan nito.

"I'll accept your apology." He proudly mumbled and start to clean himself.

I evily laughed.

"I have nothing to apologize Mister sleepyhead. And oh right, I almost forgot. Here's my ten thousand debt to you, though I only borrowed a thousand. Tubo na yung sobra." Then I opened my branded bag and grabbed the remaining cash inside.

Muli ko itong itinapon sa kanyang mukha.

Dasurb.

"What the---" He only flinched for a second and look at me with disbelief.

I smirked.

"Enjoy your night. It's not nice to meet you personally President Neves. I hope I'll never see you again." After my final words, I step back and do my elegant exit.

Without even trying to take back all the stupid things I said to him.

Yes, ganon ang tamang paraan para ilagay sa peligro ang buhay mo. Hindi na 'ko magugulat kung bukas ay pinag lalamayan na ako.

Pride and dignity over life ba hehe.

Nang sa wakas ay makalampas na sa ikatlong palapag, nanginginig at nag mamadali na akong bumaba mula sa lobby ng resto, hinahabol ang aking hininga. Both of my knees are still shaking and I can't process anything.

My anger swallowed me alive. That's it.

Without hesitation, I grabbed my phone inside my bag and dialed Astrid's number. I need to ask her to pick me up, dahil hindi ko na afford mag grab pa.

Since I don't have money left.

Even a cent.

-

I spent almost two hours staring at his first and only picture displayed on Google--- na blurred pa while reminiscing that bitchy scene of mine with him.

He is not just a normal person, he have a powerful aura that can make you kneel down and beg for your life once you see him. Para siyang si Angry bird na kapag tinitigan mo ay papatayin ka sa nerbyos at takot.

So I can't still believe that I talk back and mess with the President of En- Neves. Hindi ko alam kung saang lupalop ko ba pinulot ang aking lakas ng loob para buhusan ito ng redtea at cash.

That was the most intense and dangerous thing I did ever since I was born... and I'm sincerely praying na sana hindi agad ako balikan ng karma sa ginawa ko.

Umattend lang naman ako ng blind date para sa kaibigan ko huhuhu. Hindi ko naman inaasahan na lapitin ako ng sobrang mayayaman.

Pero tangina yung siyam na libo ko haha, mukhang mauuwi talaga ako sa cup noodles nito araw-araw.

Isinubsob ko na lamang ang aking mukha sa malambot na unan at sunod-sunod ang pinakawalan na buntong hininga.

Masyado akong mahal ng kamalasan, palagi akong dinidikitan eh tangina naman.

"Lord baka mayroon pa, ibigay mo na lahat."
