Chapter 39: Cruel Intentions Revealed

Two months later

George's POV

I've been a busy bee for the past two months focusing on the project given to me. And I was glad because it gave me no time to think about Ken. The news of him expecting a baby spread like wildfire. Of course, I was shocked but least surprised given the fact that I've had hunches when I saw him with that girl at the baby store.

 At first, it fucking punched me hard. I felt like I was going to faint and out of breath. However, I composed myself and thought that if Ken's moved on, so should I. That's what I did for the past month, focus on my work and move on. Little by little, Ken was no longer in my dreams and system. I am happy without any pretense.

Finally, I can that somehow I've moved on. Not totally, but at least there's some progress. Ira and Jean helped me to get back on my feet. Kris was there for me as well. I've heard that he's dating somebody else and we're in that 'getting there' stage. Even Ira and Jean, they were official now. And then Kate and Evan planned on getting married next year.

I am the only one with no significant other. Dating was the least of my priority for the past months. Love ruined it for me.

No scratch that.

Dishonesty and unfaithfulness ruined it for me. For fear of getting burn again, I tried my very best not getting attached with any guy I meet in the business circle. But of course, it wasn't the only reason. I won't be staying here any longer. My parents invited me in States. And if I've decided to stay there for good, they said that I'm very welcome to do so.

Napag-isipan ko na din naman iyon ng mabuti. Baka nga mas makakabuti sa akin na sa States na tumira for good. Doon, pwede akong makapagsimula ulit. May kakilala naman si Dad na may-ari ng architecture firm so pwede niya akong i-refer. Atsaka kahit wala pang ganoong offer ay pwede naman akong pumasok bilang waitress o secretary kahit saan.

Hindi naman ako magiging choosy. All I want is a fresh start in another country. Nakaka-suffocate na ang bansang ito. Masyado ng marami ang mga mapapait na karanasan ang sinapit ko dito kaya naman siguro panahon na para lisanin ko ito at magsimula ng panibagong buhay.

 Isang panibagong buhay na nabura na lahat ng sakit, wala ng isang Kendrick Arellano na makakasalubong kahit saan, mga alaala na pwedeng maisip uli pero hindi na maibabalik pa, at pagmamahal na nasira't nalimot na. I guess, living a new life in States will be the solution.

"Grabe ito, Jean. Talagang gumastos ka pa para dito ha?" Natatawa kong sabi kay Jean na karga-karga si baby Troy.

Nandito kasi ako ngayon sa condo niya. Hinihintay na dumating si Ira. Ngayong gabi kasi yung gala conference for architects and engineers in the country.

Annual ito at talaga namang dinadagsa ito. Pinaghahandaan din ng karamihan para makapag-severe ng ties sa ibang companies at magsara ng deals. May mga ipinapadala kasi ang mga international companies ng represantatives dito.

Kaya naman kaming tatlo ay todo-prepare din. We need to look presentable tonight to close some dealings. Kahit na may deal na kami sa kompanya nina Jean ay kailangan pa rin ng firm namin ng iba pang partners at investors. The more the merrier. The more the greenier. I was referring to dollars.

"Kailangan e. Nabasa ko kasi sa isang psych article na effective yan para makapagsalita ng maaga ang bata. Gusto ko matuto agad itong si baby Troy para naman lalo tayong maaliw sa kanya."
