RELLE's POV
It's been weeks since we came back. I thought I mastered all the courage to be strong when I see him. Hindi ko man pinapahalata sa kahit kanino, but deep inside me, I'm hurting. I tried so hard to make my heart as cold as ice so no one can hurt me again. Kota na ako sa sakit na binigay nila sa akin. Wala ba akong karapatan maging masaya? Nandito kami sa pr ngayon at binigay na ni Tristan yung kanta na gagamitin namin para sa competition. We need to win for the sake of our next mission. I just try to focus na lang sa may part. Buti na lang hindi ganoon karami ang parts ko. Saktong pagbalik ni Tristan siya namang text ng magaling kong kuya.
Baby, I need help!
How many times do I have to tell him that I'm not a baby anymore. Even though I'm bossing him around, I love that guy so much. Hindi lang ako expressive sa kanya. Even my life was turned upside down, he's always there for me. Kahit na may pagkamayabang yan, sobrang caring niya. Wag lang siya magagalit kasi sobrang nakakatakot. Kung ang sabi nila kapag nagagalit ako, nakakakita sila ng demon, kapag siya, makakaharap nila si Satan mismo. Hindi ko na siya nireplyan.
"I'll be back in an hour."
"Sure Ice. We'll start our group practice when you return." I just nod at Tristan.
I lazily drove to his office. Yes, tama kayo, nagwowork ngayon si kuya sa isa sa mga company na handle ng family namin. Ano na naman kaya ang naisipan niya at tinawag ako? Alam naman niya na may pasok ngayon. Tsk! After a few minutes nakarating din ako sa S.J Park Hotel. I didn't mind all the stares and attention I'm getting. I just want to end this quickly. I entered his office without knocking kahit pinipigilan ako ng secretary niya.
"Sir, I'm sorry. Dire diretso po siya ng pasok kahit walang appointment."
"It's ok Lianne, you may now go." As soon as lumabas ang malandi niyang secretary, I gave him my deadliest stare. "Woah. Chill ka lang baby ko. Sorry, hindi ko siya nasabihan sa pagdating mo."
"Tss. So what do you want?"
"Baby ko..."
"Stop with the nonsense and just go straight to the point."
"Heto naman. Ang init agad ng ulo mo."
"Kapag nakakakita talaga ako ng pangit, umiinit ulo ko kaya bilisan mo na."
"Hayss. Oo na. I need your help with this proposal." I scanned the papers he handed me.
"Mr. Rukawa. Aren't they the famous yakuza clan?"
"Yes. They want us to provide a proposal for their event here. But I think there is something more than that said event." She just nod.
"Give me your laptop."
"Ha?"
"You know that I hate to repeat what I said."
"But...." Hindi ko na siya pinatapos sa sasabihin niya at tinulak ko siya paalis sa table niya. As soon as I open his laptop, I gave him the deadliest stare I could master. "Baby..."
(Storm's laptop background)
"Baby, sorry na. Ang cute mo kasi jan. Patawarin mo na ako. If you want, I'll change it right away. I'll put your most beautiful picture." I just smirked at him. Akala niya ha.
"Hmmm... Do you think na ikaw lang ang meron ganyan. You want to see something that you regret?"
"What are you talking about?"
"I just have a picture that you really hate and regretted the most. What if I make it viral again? Hmmm..." I showed him the picture.
"Baby ko, wag naman ganun. Sorry na."
"I'll think about it. But for the mean time, let's get back to work."
I'm done with the proposal in a span of 30 minutes. Woah! Infairness, nahirapan ako dun ah.
"You know what will you do next so I'm leaving. But make sure it'll work."
"I can handle it. Thanks baby ko. You're the best."
"Tigilan mo ko. Uwi ka maaga at magluto ka. Bye!" Hindi ko na siya hinayaan na makapagsalita. Alam ko namang aangal yun eh. Bwahaha...
I'm on my way to our PR ng makasalubong ko ang isang masamang engkanto. Of all people na makakasalubong ko, siya pa talaga. Buhay nga naman, parang life. Tsk! Tumigil ako sa paglalakad ng humarang siya sa dinaraanan ko. I look at him with an empty eyes while I crossed my arms waiting for him to speak.
"Relle, I...."
I'm starting to loose my patience because 10 minutes has already passed and yet only "Relle, I" were the words he said. Bakit nga ba nagawa kong maghintay ng 10 minutes eh sa 1 minuto pa lang na paghihintay, umiinit na agad ang ulo ko?
(Eh kasi mahal mo.)
Shut up Ms. Cutie Author. Wala ako sa mood makipag-asaran.
(Makashut up 'to wagas. Eh kung ishut up din kita forever, you want? And FYI, sinagot ko lang tanong mo. Kalokang bruha 'to. Nagsasabi lang naman ng totoo.)
Sabi ko nga ehh, shut up na me.
"You're wasting my time." Tatalikod na sana ako ng bigla siya magsalita.
"I'm really sorry. I know I've been the biggest jerk, bastard or any term you want to call me but please hear me out."
"Follow me." Dinala ko siya sa may rooftop. I made sure na kami lang dalawa ang nandito. "Speak!" He took a deep breathe before he starts.
"Before I met you, I loved someone else, but she left me without saying any words. I don't have any idea of why she left me hanging. I loved her so much that I entered the world of gangster because of hatred and anger. I become the hardhearted man so no one can hurt me again." He's looking at the sky while talking. "Then you came along who gave an unexpected twist in my life. I remember when we first met, sobrang ayaw natin sa isa't isa to the point na walang nagpapatalo satin sa pang-aasar." Natatawang sabi niya.
I can't hold my smile while reminiscing the past. I know this is not me but what can I do, love hits me so hard that me, myself can't understand. It's not easy to admit but I know, he was and is the guy that I really love. I just learned to hide my feelings for not to get hurt all over again. Love may give the greatest happiness yet it also give you the greatest misery.
"Habang tumatagal na nakakasama kita, I learned to open up myself again. Be the same Ian people used to know. And definitely I fall in love again. We're so happy together kahit na madalas nag-aaway tayo sa maliliit na bagay. We're together thru thick and thin."
Why can I held my tears back? Tuloy lang luha ko habang nagkukwento siya. I've never been this emotional since I had my first broke up with my ex boyfriend. The love I have for my first may not be as deep as how I love Ian, still it broke my heart into million pieces and he's my first you know. Aish, nagiging madaldal na ako.
"Not until Quin came back. I thought I still love her and I only sees her in you but I'm wrong. I'm so stupid to think it that way. I just realized that the two of you are really different and that I loved and still love you deeper than what I feel for her. I'm really sorry for all the sh*ts that I've done. I know I hurt you so bad beyond on what I can imagine and it's too late for me to regret all my actions and decisions but I want you to know that I'm really really sorry. It doesn't matter how long will I wait until you can fully forgive me." Mabilis kong pinunasan ang mga luha ko at ibinalik ang coldhearted Ice na nakilala nila.
"Is that all you want to say?" He looked at me as if he's waiting if I have something to say. Tinaasan ko lang siya ng kilay bago siya umiling. I started to fix my clothes bago umalis. Hindi ko na hinayaan na magsalita pa siya o pigilan pa ako. I heard to much that I think I can't handle for now.
SOMEONE's POV
"Do you think makikilala nila tayo?"
"The question is, do you think they will remember us?"
"Stop thinking anything. We just need to focus on our work or else, all of us will be dead."
"Tss. Just admit it that you're also wondering."
"Whatever!"
******woooohh.. May natapos din. Sorry for the late update. Hope you like it :)
