Chasing In The Dark

"Go talk to him, calmly with open mind and understanding."

Dali dali akong pumunta sa kompanya na pagmamay ari nang Howardson, na itinayo ni Mone. I was still clueless, he built another company and business even though his father has five and he is the one who has to handle it. Pero hindi iyon ang ipinunta ko dito, iba. Sana ngalang pag nakaharap ko na siya ay hindi ako sumabog sa galit.

Who wouldn't? He decide for me, he decide without asking me. I love my work from the very beggining, lalo na't mabait si Jeorge. Mabait ang boss, saan pa ako makakahanap nang kagaya ni Jeorge. Maybe, not. Not anymore. Nang makapasok na sa kompanya ay agad bumungad sa akin ang babae na nasa counter.

"Good morning Ma'am, do you have an appointment?"

She asked. Inilingan ko siya.

"I need to see Mr. Howardson."

"Im sorry but you have to make an appointment to talk to him Ma'am."

Shit! This is it. I need to lie just to enter his damn office, just to talk to him about the resignation letter that he filed. I closed my eyes trying to calm myself, i need it. Baka masigawan ko ang babae sa harapan ko matakot pa. I don't want her to be afraid because of my sudden out burst na hindi naman siya ang dahilan.

"Im his wife."

I can see her mouth opened that form into an 'o' and her eyes got big and shock is written on her face. Hindi ko alam pero nang makabawi siya ay agad siyang tumayo at lumabas sa loob nang counter at lumapit sa akin at yumuko na ikinataka ko.

"Im sorry. I-I didn't know that you are Mrs. Yona Sameer Howardson."

I gasped. She know my fullname. Akala ko tatawagin niya akong Yame or Yonyon. It's just my nickname. Did Mone know my fullname? Maybe. Pinakilala na niya ako dito eh, but he introduced me as his wife even though it's not. Tsk. How jerk his move is.

"Just bring me to his office."

"Yes, Madame."

When we arrived at Mone's office door, ay agad kong pinasalamatan at tinanguan ang babae. She just nod at me too without smiling, still afraid. Akala niya siguro papagalitan ko siya dahil sa inasta niya sa akin kanina, but she's wrong. I doesn't own this company, the owner is not even my husband his just the father of my son.

Nang makapasok ako sa opisina ni Mone ay tumambad sa akin ang opisinang walang katao tao at tahimik. I roamed my eyes on it and damn it was so clean and shiny. Naglakad lakad ako at nang may makitang isang pinto na parang may isa pang silid dito ay binuksan ko iyon. And the view i saw melt my heart.

It was Mone and Sameir hugging each other while sleeping. I can even hear snores from them. I smiled in an instant. I don't know but the view made me forgot why im here. Linagay ko ang folder sa lamesa na nasa gilid lang nang pinto at dahan dahang lumakad palapit sa mag ama ko.

Mag ama ko?

Sounds good, but then we are not still good. Mone and i still has quarrel, a wall between us. Should i break it? Or shouldn't i? I sighed. Nang makahiga na ako sa tabi nang anak ay hinaplos ko ang ulo niya na nakahiga sa braso ni Mone. I kissed the temple of his head as i kissed Mone's head temple too.

Humiga na rin ako sa tabi ni Sameir at inunan ang braso ni Mone, katulad sa ginagawa ni Sameir. I should think. Maybe i should. As i lay down, i can see Mone angelic face. He looks so handsome, if i can just turn back the time i wouldn't really do the mistakes i did before. I regret using him just to make my Dad love me.
