Messing With Miss Ordinary

Kabanata 18

"I'll try, Bro. I still have pending works to do. I have a problem on one of my clients. But salamat sa imbitasyon."

"I'll expect you and Sam to be there. Bye, brother!"

Tumutok ako sa laptop ko pagkababa ko ng cellphone sa mesa. I badly want to know kung may lead na si Alester sa ama ni Gab but I am craving to know more about Maximus.

There's something about him that I want to discover. He's not the typical bartender I know. There's more about him and I want to know every detail of it.

Hindi sa pinaghihinalaan ko siya but I want to make sure that Gab is truly safe with him around her.

Gago! Mas nauna silang naging magkaibigan kaysa sa'yo, Andre! singhal ng isang bahagi ng utak ko.

Eh ano naman ngayon kung nauna silang magkakilala? As if I'd care. I just want to make everything clear dahil hindi ko hahayaang mapahamak si Gab kung sakali mang may kasamaang tinatago ang Maximus na 'yon.

See? Pinaghihinalaan mo nga talaga siya. You just hate to admit it!

Fine! I won't deny it. I can't help it. The way he talk to that man that night was really suspicious. Hindi nalalayo sa edad niya 'yong lalaki at halatang ayaw niyang may makakita o makarinig sa anumang pinag-uusapan nila.

With the looks of it, parang mataas 'yong respeto nung tao sa kaniya the way he bows his head while Maximus was scolding him. Para siyang takot dito na hindi ko mawari kung bakit.

I will find out who you are Maximus Del Piero!

Isang ping mula sa laptop ko ang umani ng atensiyon ko. It was an email from Alester marked as CONFIDENTIAL.

I opened it right away and read the content then clicked the attached file.

I read the first file about Maximus Del Pierro. Kahit ayaw kung aminin sa sarili ko, he got all my attention this past days.

So he is really related by blood kay Celestine Del Pierro. The only son he got from her late husband.

But why is he working as a bartender when he is the only heir of the Del Pierros?

Ano kayang drama sa buhay ng taong 'to at nagtitiyaga siyang magtrabaho na parang ordinaryong manggagawa lang? Wala namang napabalitang controversy sa mga Del Pierro but who knows they're just being discreet about it.

I read the report further till the end and didn't find the answers to my questions. Maybe I should stop wasting my time with him.

Mas kailangan kong magfocus kay Gab at sa layuning tulungan siya na mahanap ang kaniyang ama. Siguro kapag nangyari 'yon ay maging buo na ang pagkatao niya at maging handa na siyang bigyan ako ng chance na makapasok sa puso niya.

I'll do anything for you, Gabriella! That's a promise.

I started to open the file about Gab's father. I cleared my mind when I started reading it.

Napahinga ako ng malalim sa mga nabasa ko. I tried to calm myself knowing na mas matindi pa ang mararamdaman ni Gab kapag nabasa niya ang lahat ng 'to.

How I wish I will be with her sa panahong malaman niya ang lahat ng 'to para maalalayan man lang siya. I can't imagine how it will break her heart and worst. . .

No! I won't let it happen. I will make sure na kasama mo 'ko sa oras na malaman mo ang lahat ng 'to, Gab.
