Running Through The Waves (Isla Vagues Series #1) COMPLETED

Kabanata 31

Bumukas ang pinto at bumungad sa akin si Cynthia. She smiled as she carried the tray with chocolate drink and slice of mocha cakes and croissant. I didn't eat breakfast back in the mansion. Wala akong gana at hindi ko inaasahan na dadalhin rin ako rito ni Cynthia.

"Sinabihan po ako ni Kuya Yuno na dalhan kayo ng pagkain. Hindi daw po kayo nag magbreakfast." marahan niyang tanong ng nilapag ang pagkain sa lamesa ko. I'm a bit surprised on what she said. Bumagsak ang tingin ko sa pagkain.

I didn't expect Kuya Yuno would ask her to do this. I smiled a bit on that. Zaijan hired a right bodyguard for me. It's overwhelming that my boduguard is concern.

"Thank you." marahan kong sinabi kay Cynthia at tumango siya saka ngumiti. I hold the fork and take a bite in the mocha cake. It was soft and delicious. Kahit papaano ay naitulak ako noon para kumain.

"Ang tamlay niyo po ngayon, Ma'am. May problema po ba?" mukhang napansin na ni Cynthia ang kawalan kong gana at sumandal lang ako sa swivel chair ko habang sumisimsim sa tsokolate.

"Don't mind me, Cynthia. What's my schedule today?" I ask in my weak voice and continue to eat the mocha cake.

"Hmm may isang meeting lang po kayo ngayon Ma'am. The proposal meeting with Engr. Kainoa Treverous Ver----" hindi pa niya natapos ang sasabihin ay mabilis na akong nasamid sa iniinom na tsokolate.

Fuck!

Naghalo ang kati ng lalamunan ko at ang init sa aking dila. Biglang nagpanik si Cynthia sa sunod sunod kong pag-ubo. She run to the water dispenser to get me water and she immediately came back with a glass of it. Mabilis niyang inabot sa akin at agad ko namang tinanggap iyon.

I'm chasing my breath as I tried to calm down.

"W-What?" sinubukan kong tanungin siya ulit para kompormahin kung tama ba ang narinig ko mula sa kanya.

"Y-You have a meeting after lunch with the President of Verceluz Shipping Inc. Ma'am. With Kainoa Treverous Verceluz." nahigit ko ang hininga sa pagkompirma niyang sinabi. My mind totally become haywire. My breathing turn massive.

Cynthia leave me after that to come back to her own work. Habang ako ay tuluyan nang natulala rito. Nakakadalawang subo pa lang ako sa cake ay mabilis na akong nawalan ng gana pagkatapos kong marinig ang sinabi ni Cynthia.

I mess my hair in frustration. Damn it! How can I forgot that today is the meeting with him? Pagkatapos nang nalaman ko hindi ko alam kung kaya ko siyang harapin. My eyes heated as I remember what Ysabel told me.

"A romantic dinner with him with a wine in both of our hands as we both laugh at your awful state is so perfect. Sayang wala siya rito, he should see your epic face now. So he can be satisfied that his trap was a success." her words were like a blade who cut me without mercy.

Sobrang nagsugat iyong sinabi niya sa akin na hindi ko sigurado kong gagaling pa ba ako mula sa sugat na iyon. My heart is bleeding now. The thought of them together with a romantic set dinner in a fancy and elegant restaurant flashes in my mind.

Them holding a goblet in their hands as their talk about my awful state that they succeed on fooling and manipulating me. I imagine Kairus laughing and my heart just crashed so bad. Hindi ko magawang maniwala o niloloko ko lang ang sarili ko. His words when we ate together that night felt so real. It even make my heart thumped but all of that is fake and part of his plan.

I can't imagine him in that scene longer. I will die in pain.

Tumulo ang mga luha sa mata ko at napasapo ako sa dibdib dahil sa paninikip noon. I can feel a pang in my chest and my breathing staggered. Sinubukan kong punasan iyon pero ayaw nilang huminto sa pagbuhos katulad ng galit na galit na ulan pagkatapos ng panahon ng tagtuyot.
