My Brother's Girlfriend

Chapter 21

Melissa's POV

"Can you stop crying like a mad woman cous?"- sita sakin ni Michelle.

We're now currently in my condo. I called her because I want someone to comfort me.

"She hated me"- I murmured and wipe the tears away.

I can still remember how that kid mocked me. Daig ko pa ang sinampal ng malakas sa sakit ng impact ng pinagsasabi nya.

I can see and feel that she hated me more than she hated me 3 years ago. Pero ayaw kolang na pati virginity ko idadamay nya.

"She will hate you talaga. You left her when she needed someone"- she said.

"I need to choose that time Mich. And family should come first before other people"- I said.

"Pero namatay si Kevin on the same day that you left cous!"- Mich insisted.

Natahimik ako.

Yeah we know about what happened to Annie. We hired a private investigator nung time na umalis ako.

I was shocked when I get the news that my ex boyfriend died. I know Kevin was about to chase me that day. Namatay kasi ang lolo namin kaya kailangan ko ng umalis at magpunta ng abroad to visit him. I didn't have time to talk and even say good bye sa magkapatid dahil hindi ko din naman alam kung ano at kung paano ko sila haharapin.

"Ikaw nadin nagsabi na nung nakita mo si Annie sobrang lungkot nya. Pero duwag ka at hindi mo manlang nilapitan. "- mich said.

Naalala ko yun. Bumalik ako nun after mailibing ni Kevin.  I saw how devastated Annie is and it breaks my heart so much. But I choose not to see her or be near her kasi akala ko mas makakabuti kung makalimutan na nya ako. Bumalik ako ng London to also forget and move on. Pero hindi kona man sya makalimutan.

"What do you want me to do that time Mich? Let her see me tapos sasabihin ko na kaya naaksidente ang kuya nya ay dahil sakin?"- I said. This time hindi nako naiyak.

"Cous kelan kapa nawalan ng explanation towards things ha? Sa ating magpipinsan ikaw ang pinaka gusto ni Lolo, bukod kasi sa ikaw ang first born, namana mo din sa kanya kung paano maging very critical thinker."- she said.

"What should I do? I doubt it na makakapagtrabaho kami na hindi nagbabangayan"- sabi ko at nainis nanaman ako ng maalala kung pano nya ako kausapin sa office ko.

Same Annie that I know. Hindi talaga sya marunong gumalang.

"Just pretend that you're not affected. Dun kana man magaling e"- sabi ni Mich.

"If I know sinadya mong sya ang kunin na interior designer ko."- maktol ko sa kanya.

"Syempre para maganda ang kalabasan ng restaurant mo. At saka ikaw nadin nagsabi na mahal mo sya diba? So ayan tinulungan na kita"-she said.

"I hate you"- I said at tumayo.

"You will thank me later kapag bumalik sya sayo"- asar nya sakin.

After kong makausap si Mich umalis nadin sya. Pina alala pa sakin na wag daw akong magsusuicide dahil sa broken ako. As if naman gagawin ko yun.

Pumasok ako sa kwarto ko at kinuha ang folder. Actually kabisado ko ang mga nakita ko dito. Sinabi kolang kay Annie na hindi dahil gusto ko pa syang makausap next time. Gosh. I missed that girl so much.

Gustong gusto ko syang yakapin nung nakita ko sya pero ayaw naman nyang magpahawak sakin.

I touch my collarbone. Until now I can still feel her lips on there. The way she put her hand on my thigh and how she move it up to my waist, I swear gusto kona syang yakapin at halikan nung mga oras na yun.

She still has the same effect on me whenever she touch me intimately.

But still I know she's just doing that to mock me because she hated me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I wake up the next day I told my secretary to talk to Annie and tell her na nakapili nako.
I even give her the folder para maibalik na yun kay Annie.

Ngayon nandito ako sa office sa company. I'm busy reading papers and signing them when the door bang open.

"Ma'am sorry po. Sinundan po pala nya ako papunta dito,she also insisted that she wanted to talk to you Ma'am "- my secretary said.

Infront of her was Annie na seryosong nakatingin sakin.

"It's okay. You can leave us"- I said to her at pinagpatuloy ang ginagawa ko.

Nung marinig ko ang pagsara ng pinto dun nako hindi makapag concentrate. Lalo pa at ang tahimik. It feels like she was watching me.

"What do you want?"- I asked still not looking at her.

"Ikaw"- she said.

Natigilan ako sa pagbabasa pero hindi ko padin sya tinignan.

"Stop with you jokes. I'm busy. You can leave now"-sabi ko.

Akala ko aalis na sya dahil pansin ko ang pagkilos nya but to my surprised nagpunta sya sa tabi ko at sinara kung ano man ang binabasa ko. She even move all the papers away from me at nilagay sa isang gilid.

"What's your problem? "- I asked at nilingon sya.

"Now you look at me"-she said.

Tumayo ako at binigyan layo ang pwesto namin. Masyado syang malapit hindi ako komportable.

"Why are you backing away? "- she asked mockingly.

"Kung nandito ka para mang asar, umalis kana. I'm busy dealing with this papers"- I said calmly kahit na kinakabahan ako.

"I'm here for my job. Is this how you treat your employee? Shove them away when you're not in the mood to talk to them? "- she asked.

"You're not my employee"- I stated.

"But I'm under you,  unless you want to be under me"- she said at tinignan ang katawan ko.

"Are you hitting on me Annie? "- I asked starting to get pissed.

She shrug her shoulders at sya ang naupo sa swivel chair ko.

"Get up there at umalis kana. "- I said and was about to shove her when my phone ring.

"I won't go unless you come with me"- sabi nya pero hindi kona pinansin at dinampot kona ang phone ko.

"Hello Marvin? "- I said.

Pansin ko ang pagtingin sakin ni Annie.

"Really? Oh yeah sure I can come right now, where are you? "- I asked to my cousin.

Yes,  the one I'm talking right now is none other than my 3rd cousin. Marvin Carvajal which happened to be 19 years old.

"Okay then I will just see you later"- sabi ko at binaba na ang phone ko.

Binalingan ko si Annie. Para naman akong nilamig sa titig nya sakin.

"W-what? "- I asked. Tsk why did I stutter?

"You're not going to see him. "- she said at tumayo.

"And why?"- I asked.

"Because you're coming with me. "- she said.

"I'm busy. "- I said.

"I don't care. Don't make me mad ATE "- she said.
Tsk. She's mocking me again.

Huminga ako ng malalim at nagdesisyon nalang na sumama sa kanya.

Binilin kona lang sa secretary ko na icancel ang mga coming up appointments ko.

Pansin ko din ang pagtingin ng mga ibang employees dahil hawak lang naman ni Annie ang kamay ko.

Oo kamay ko. Ewan koba. Ang sungit sungit nya tapos bigla nalang manghahawak ng kamay.
Hinayaan kona lang because as far as I remember this is the first time she hold my hand.
