OVERLY CRUEL(Purely Unedited!!!)

Chapter 3

Marami-rami na rin kasi ang nagiging curious sa aamin, mga nagtatanong kung sino ang ama ng anak ko, asan ang tatay ni Milo. I just answer them that I got pregnant by a random stranger back then, kesa sabihin ko na ang bestfriend ko ang ama ng anak ko na kasalukuyang may masayang pamilya na ngayon. iniiwasan ko rin na maiugnay si Milo sa kanyang ama, lalo na't kilala sa buong bansa si Survey.

"Pa-order nga ng isang box ng Cherrymilk smile d'yan," naagaw ng malambing na boses na iyon and aking atensyon kung kaya napalingon ako sa pinto ng opisina ko. 

I smiled at him and said, "Cj, oh bakit ka naparito?" tanong ko, He's Cj, my friend here in Palawan. I happened to meet him in our first day here in Palawan, naligaw kami noon at siya ang nag-iisang taong tumulong sa amin ni Blace noon. 

"Nasaan si pareng Milo? Gusto ko kasi makipaglaro sa kanya," he said while roaming his eyes around the shop. When he saw Milo carried by one of my staff here in the botigue, he instantly runs to him and gets him. He played with my son here inside the shop.

Hinayaan ko siya na gawin ang gustong gawin sa anak ko. Since he always visits us here in the shop, but I know it was my son who's the main porpose why he alwasy visit midst of his busy schedules. 

"Oh, di mo sinabi may Kapre pa lang bumisita dito sa shop, sana nakapag ready ako ng bawang sa entrance para hindi nakapasok!"Blace's irritated voice surrounds the whole shop as she enters the office and saw Cj's presence. 

These two never let the day pass without even fighting, I don't know? ever since we meet Cj, Blace's blood boils every time she sees him and ends up having fights with him. Cj always teases Blace about her addiction with BL actors, because Blace was a big fan of Boys love movies and stories.

"Hindi mo 'rin kayang magdala ng bawang dito, dahil aswang ka'rin, fair and square, right!?"pangaasar na tugon naman ni Cj sa kanya, kahit na di niya tinitingnan si Blace dahil busy siya makipaglaro kay Milo.

At ito namang si Milo, ay tumawa lang na para bang naiintindihan niya ang asaran nila Cj at Blace. "Jusme! Lord, guide me baka makapatay po ako ng wala sa oras," Blace said while rolling her eyes and glaring at Cj.

"Jusme! lord guide me baka makapatay ako nye nye nye," Cj's mocking what Blace said that makes me laugh. Itong dalawang itong baka ito rin ang magkatuluyan sa huli. Please lord guide them.

"Stop na guys Blace tara na may imemeet pa tayo. Cj please take care of Milo for me ok " I said while fixing my bag and putting some papers for the customer inside my bag. Blace also grabbed her bags and followed me out of the shop.

"Ingat ka Cherry, yang kasama mo ibenta mo na, wag mo na isama pabalik diba pareng Milo," Cj said as if nagkakaintindihan talaga sila ni Milo. Binilisan na lang ni Blace ang hakbang paalis at iniwan ako dito sa loob, dahil sa sobrang inis kay Cj.

"Ikaw talaga! Hindi mo na tinigilan si Blace?" sambit ko at tinakot si Cj.

"Ako ba ang nagsimula?" tanong niya at halatang hindi nakokonsensya sa pang-aasar kay Blace. 

"Bahala nga kayo, sige na alis na ako, bye baby Milo," I kiss Milo's forehead and follow Blace's outside.

Sanay na akong iniiwan si Milo kay Cj kasi siya naman lagi kong iniiwanan kay Milo at ok lang naman sa kanya he's a true friend and he love's Milo so much just like Blace love him, este love Milo pala.

"What is your plan for the future?" Tanong ni Survey out of the blue.

"Magtatayo ako ng sarili kong clothing line at wala pang grand opening dadagsain na ako ng maraming customers at marami na akong nakatambak na orders, and my clothing line will boom , as in sikat! What do you think?" excited kong sambit habang kinakain ang inorder kong Ramen sa kanyang harapan.

"I think that is possible, and when that happens, I will be your first investor or I will help you promote your business in my corporation," he genuinely said, but still deson't giving a single glance, he's also busy eating his Ramen too. It's our favorite. 

"Talaga ba? sige, tingnan na;tin Mr. C.E.O. haha," I laugh when I see him smirk because of the word CEO.

Are we still together in the future Survey?

"Hoy nakangiti ka dyan?" I blink twice when Blace claps in front of my face and looks at me with her serious face.

"Wala lang, bawal na ba ako ngumiti," sambit ko at nagsimula ng maglalakad ng mabilis.

"Wag mong sabihin naalala mo na naman si Survey?" she hazes and cross her arms beside me.

"Naalala ko lang yung sanabi ko kay Survey, about my dream clothing line and ngayon meron na talaga akong clothing line at tambak na orders, just like what I've said to him back then," I smile again.

"Yeah, yeah yeah, wala na tayong time para sa throwback thursday mo, dahil malalate na tayo sa tambak na ang orders," she said and sumakay na sa jeep wrangler niya at ganun din ako.

Nang kami ay makasakay na, tumunog ang cellphone ko. When I glance at it, I saw Miss Cruz is calling.

"Hello, Miss Cruz, yes we're on our way ma'am," I said and turned off the phone, Blace looked at me and started the engine.

"Ok, let's go!"
