Faded Accounts (Law of Attraction Series # 1) (PUBLISH UNDER IMMAC PUBLISHING)

Chapter 38

Days pass by; my life is in a wonderful state with Oliver. Every time I'm with him everything is magical. He makes everything possible. He loves me for all I am and I did the same thing.

We are investing pure feelings with each other and it makes me complete.

I didn't even think that what I'm doing is a sin anymore because all I know is that I love him with all my heart and I'm willing to do anything he wants.

"Aberry, tara na lunch na," napalingon ako ng tawagin ako ni Alliana , kasama si Lana.

"Oo, sandali," I said and grabbed my bag with me.

"Saan tayo mag lulunch?" tanong ko sa kanya habang naglalakad kami palabas ng kumpanya.

"Dyan lang sa malapit" sambit niya at nagtungo kami sa tinutukoy niya'ng malapit.

Habang kumakain pansin ko ang pagiging tahimik ni Lana at ang pagiging seryoso ni Alliana, kaya hindi ko maiwasang mag tanong. "Hoy problema niyo?" I ask.

They both look at me, "Kanina pa kayo tahimik dyan may problema ba?" tanong ko muli, at sumubo ng isang fries.

"Ikaw ang problema Aberry, totoo ba ang sinabi ni Lana na nakita ka niya kasama si Oliver sa labas ng unit at hinalikan mo siya?" seryosong tanong ni Ali na ikinatigil ko.

"A-ano..."

"Sabihin mo nga sakin Jade anong nangyari sa New York!!!" this time I know Alliana si serious and I can't lie at this situation.

Huminga ako ng malalim at binitawan ang tinidor na hawak ko. I face them. "May nangyari samin sa New York, oo totoo ang nakita ni Lana. Mahal ko siya at mahal niya ako, mahal namin ang isa't –isa" nilabas ko ang kwintas na ibinigay ni Oli sakin at ipinakita sa kanila.

"Pero hindi pa sila naghihiwalay ni Zoey Jade ano ba!!!" Alliana haze and sigh with disbelief.

"Alam ko" napayuko at hintay ang susunod niyang sasabihin. "Ano ba itong pinasok mo Jade, alam mong may karelasyon siya hindi kaibigan mo pa nga pero ito ka gumagawa ng kung ano sa boyfriend ng kaibigan mo Aberry anong kahibangan ito!!!"

"Aberry, bakit?" Lana.

"Mahal ko siya, alam kong mali pero mahal ko siya, sabi niya bigyan ko siya ng one week para makipaghiwalay kay Zoey at itama ang lahat samin" I said.

"Last day na ng one-week n'yo ngayon Jade!" Alliana firmly said.

"Oo alam ko, sabi niya kanina ay ngayong araw na siya makikipaghiwalay kay Zoey at alam kong gagawin niya iyon. Alliana, Lana mahal niya ako higit pa sa pagmamahal ko sakanya kaya please lang intindihin niyo muna ako please" I said and tears started to run over my face.

Lana sighs and Alliana looks away and breathes harder, I know they're disappointed but what can I do? I just love my man so hard.

"Sigurado ka ba dito?" tanong ni Alliana.

"Oo sigurado ako," I said.

Lana looked at me and smiled, she moved and sat beside me she offered a hug, "I understand you and I'm willing to understand you more" Lana said which makes me cry even more.

When I look at Alliana I can still see disappointments on her face but she chooses to hold my hands and comfort me.

"I know it's hard," Lana whispered.

"I love him," I said.

"I know, we're here for you and we wish you luck after this day," Lana said and hugged me tighter.

Simula nong bumalik kami dito sa pinas, I never had a chance to be with them and talk to the both of them like this because I'm always with Oliver, hiding.

Every day I try to avoid the thought of doing this for the sake of my selfish love and forget about how genuine and kind Zoey is to me, she didn't do anything bad to me and here I am stealing his man.

I been carrying this guilt inside of me and now that they know, pakiramdam ko nabawasan ako ng tinik saking dibdib.

"Nandito lang kami para sayo ano man ang mangyari, kahit alam kong mali ito mananatili parin ako sa tabi mo" Alliana said kaya mag hinigpitan ko ang pagkakahawak sa kanyang kamay at mas niyakap si Lana.

"Sorry," I said and leaned on them.

Pagkatapos ng lunch ay bumalik kami sa kumpanya at nagtatrabaho, Habang busy ako sa mga gawain biglang nagsalita si Sienna. "Anong gagawin mo for love Aberry?" she asks.

I glanced at her and saw her staring at the glass window here inside the office. "What will you do for love?" she asks.

"I'm willing to be a sinner for love," I answer by making her look at me.

"Really that's how you interpret fight love?" she asked and I nodded at her.

"Bakit mo natanong?"

"Wala lang para sakin kasi Love is something that you have to let you let go," she said, hindi ko alam pero may bakas ng kirot ang salitang binitawan niya.

We just look at each other for a second "Ay, ano bayan nasasayang lang oras natin hahaha trabaho na" she said and og back to her PC.

Ganon din ang ginawa ko at nagpatuloy sa trabaho. Kinahapunan ay kailangan kong dalhin sa HR ang papers na ginawa ko kaya lumabas ako ng opisina at sakto namang labas nila Oliver at Zoey mula sa opisina nito.

I quickly hide to avoid seeing Zoey, hindi ko kayang harapin siya.

But I saw Oli glance at me and walk with Zoey toward the elevator. Sumakay sila doon ng nakakapit si Zoey sa braso ni Oli.

They still look good for each other, "No Aberry he loves you" I said to myself and went to the HR department for the papers that needed to be sent there.

"Hi Miss Aberry," bati sa akin ng isang lalaki na empleyado. I smile at him and continue passing the papers to the HR department.

"Miss Aberry may boyfriend kana ba?" tanong nito at ngumiti ng pagka laki-laki.

"Hoy Calumn, tigilan mo nga yan si Ma'am sumbong kita sa manager," mag isang babaeng sumita sa kanya.

"Edi magsumbong ka samahan pa kita eh," pangaasar nito sa kanya.

Bumalik ang atensyon nito sakin at tila hinintay ang sagot ko, "Ahm wala pa pero malapit na," I said.

"Malapit na? ibig sabihin may nakalinya na?" he said and I nodded.

Nginitian ko nalamang siya ng malungkot sya at bumalik sakanya pwesto, "Oh, basted agad hahahaha," pang-aasar ng ibang empleyado sa kanya.

"Mauna na ako salamat," mas pinili ko nalang umalis sa HR dept. at bumalik na sa Office babalikan ko na lang mamaya ang mga papel na binigay ko doon.

Habang naglalakad ay tumunog ang phone ko at nakareceive ng text mula kay Oliver.

Oli,

Let's meet at the rooftop after work.

Agad akong nagreply.

To Oli,

Sure, see you.
