***Eunwoo's POV***
it has been two weeks now since Cheena went back to her country but I don't have any idea what happened to her case.. I have been busy looking for evidences but I found none and now we are having our general meeting to be held by the president of the company and I don't have any idea what is this for..
"eunwoo shi are you OK?" rocky asks me
"de" I answered him dryly
"you did your best and we believe that Noona Cheena is innocent regardless of the posted news in the bulletin board" Jinjin commented
"yeah.. That's true" Yoon sanha
"noona will never do such thing" moonbin
"thanks guys.." I said tapping them one by one just in time when the president went on the stage
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our monthly General meeting..." he started
We all greeted him back then he continue to talked about his plan for the company..
***Joy Abigail's POV***
Pinapunta kami ni Mr. Bang sa dating company ng ate ko pero imbis na sa harap ko dumaan ay pinapasok kami sa isang conference room na may malaki ng screen at nakikita namin ang mga tao sa labas ng parang practice room nila..
"excuse me.." sabi ng mainipin kong boyfriend
"de?" sagot naman nung isang staff
"what are we doing here?"
"oh.. Our president asks you to stay here until he announce something important" sagot nito
"ahmm can I possibly leave later as I am also waiting for an important call" tanong ni kuya RM
"ahmm maybe" alanganing sagot nya
"where's Jin hyung?" tanong naman ni JK
"he said he will be here any minute he just need to finish something" sagot naman ni Suga
"we hardly bond with him this past few days.. Hayst.. I badly miss him" sabi naman ni Jimin
Oo nga.. Ilang araw ng busy si Kuya Jin.. Halos every week umaalis siya lalo na kapag biyernes hanggang linggo, babalik ng lunes tapos wala namang kinukwento.. Anu kayang ginagawa niya sa buhay niya?
habang abala ako sa pagiisip tungkol sa nangyayari kay kuya Jin ay narinig na namin na pinatawag sa stage si Athaliah.. Gusto kong magwalkout dahil naiinis ako.. Siya ang dahilan kung bakit na pauwi ng pilipinas si ate.. Ang kapal ng mukha!!!
"I want to go out" bulong ko kay Taehyung
"calm down Jagiya.. Look at my hyungs they feels the same way you do but they are keeping their cool" pabalik bulong nito sakin, nilingon ko nga ang mga kuya ko at parang napako sa seryoso ang mukha nila sa TV screen at nakakuyum ang mga kamay nila
Pagdating ni Athaliah sa stage ay nagflash ng ibat ibang picture na tila ba pinasasalamatan pa siya ng kumpanya nila..
Naiinis talaga ako!!
Napatayo ako sa kinauupuan namin
"stay there!" utos sakin ni mr. bang
"but!" react ko
"just stay there and listen, we are on the best part"
Wala akong nagawa kundi sundin ang sinasabi niya.. Na pilitan akong umupo out of my will.. Kaines!!!
Anu bang best part ang sinasabi ni Mr. BANG!!
***Athaliahs POV***
My uncle called me at the stage and flashes some of my achievements for the company..
I was really flattered and flustered.. But right there and then.. Something flash in the PowerPoint that made me shiver on my seat..
The video is showing me that I am handing a parcel to our mailman and give him instructions..
"I would like to asks Ms. Athaliah to please explain to us what is the meaning of this?" my uncle asked me in front of everybody.. Gary was now starting to get red..
"I.. I.." I began to stumble with my words..
The employees began to create small noises..
What should I do?? How can I explain myself without being caught???
***Cheena's POV***
Sinabihan ako ni Jana na uso na daw sa pilipinas ngayon ang pagaasikaso ng requirements bago magapply kaya naman inumpisahan ko na sa mahihirap kunin gaya ng brgy. Clearance at police clearance..
Habang nasa police station ako para sa police clearance ko ay bigla nalang akong tinawagan ni Yuna sa messenger niya..
Hindi nga pala ako nakapag paalam sakanila.. Sigurado akong hihingi ng paliwanag ko to.. Hayst..
Naglabas ako ng pinaka sincere na ngiti na meron ako bago ko tuluyan sinagot ang tawag nya
"yeoboseyo" bati ko sabay ngiti ngunit lacking gulat ko ng makita ko sa screen si secretary/driver
"Cheena shi.. Kindly listen to this carefully" sabi niya sabay tutok ng camera sa stage
Andun si ms. Athaliah, yung lalakeng nanghila hila sakin at si president...
Anu kayang nangyayari???
"what is-"
"shhhhhhh" bawal sakin ni secretary/driver bago ko pa man matapos ang tanong ko "just listen" dagdag pa nito wala akong ibang nagawa kundi makinig
"I would like to asks Ms. Athaliah to please explain to us what is the meaning of this?" tanong ni president habang may pinapakitamg picture sa screen
"I.. I.." halatang nabigla si Ms. Athaliah "I don't know that" dagdag niya sabay atras
"you don't huh?" sabi ni president tapos may pinakita na naman siyang picture sa screen na I aabot ni ms. Athaliah yung box dun sa delivery man..
"ani.. anniyo.. It's a parcel for my friend" pakunway sabi niya
"your friend?" taas kilay na sabi ni president sabay zoom in pa nya ang box at nakalagay dun ang pangalan ko at pangalan ni Jin..
Natahimik si Ms. Athaliah
"this box was sent to bighit entertainment during the time that Cheena was sent to Singapore, Bang PDnim immediately contacted me and asked me what it is all about since his artist Kim Seok Jin is currently at rest and not attending their practices and also at Singapore that time.."
Narinig kong nagsimula ng magbulungan ang mga tao sa paligid niya
"as for everybody's information this document is the new concept for the ASTRO's upcoming music video" announce niya na lalong nagpalakas sa bulungan
Yun kaya yung concept na hinahanap nila sakin??
"so Athaliah.. Why did you try to frame up Cheena?" diretsong tanong ni president sakanya,
"I... I..."
"don't lie anymore.. We already interrogated Gary and he already admitted that you instructed him to kidnap Cheena during the time we set her to Singapore, we have all the evidences.. All you have to do is admit it and be sorry" sabi pa ni president
Nagsmirk siya
"hmmm... I never imagine that you will do this to me uncle.." nagbigay siya ng nakakalokong ngiti sabay harap sa mga tao "yeah.. That is true.. I really did try to frame her up" pagamin niya
finrame up nya ako??
"and I want you to know that I am not sorry for what I did.. Because she deserved that.. She deserved to be cast out of this company!" gigil na sabi niya
Abu bang ginawa ko sakanya?? Bakit ba ang laki ng galit niya sakin??
"stop it athaliah, don't make things worse!" bawal ni president sakanya
"no!" sagot niya dito "she first tried to steal my position from me, she steal Eunwoo and your attention and lastly she even tried to steal my first love which is Kim Seok Jin!"
First love nya si Jin??
Halatang nagulat ang lahat.. Well admittedly nagulat din ako pero teka??? Wala naman akong inaagaw sakanya ah!!! Anu bang pinagsasabi niya??? Kainis na ah!!!
She never did that! Narinig kong sigaw ni yuna..
Yeah! Cheena is a good person
She won't steal anyone's position
Yeah.. That right!!
At yun na.. Parang nagwelgahan na ang mga tao sa paligid nya..
"CHEENA G.. NANDYAN BA SI CHEENA G?!" pagtawag sakin ng police officer para sa pagkuha ng picture ko..
Sa sobrang taranta ko ay na patay ko yung video call.. Ihhhhh kainis naman.. Hindi ko man lang nalaman kung paano nya first love si Jin.. Hayst..
Teka nga bakit ba naiisip ko na naman si Jin???
Move on Cheena!! Move on!! Pilit kong sinasabi sa utak ko habang papalapit sa window ng police officer.
***Joy Abigails POV***
narinig namin ang lahat... at lahat kami ay nagulat!
Yung babaeng yun! Sobrang laki ng tama sa utak! Anu bang inagaw ni ate sakanya na sinasabi niya?!!
nagsimula ng magsigawan ng pagkampi ang mga tao kay ate kaya naman sumigaw na si bruha ng pagkalakas lakas
"SHE DID!!! she already did!! I really thought you have trustede uncle but you didn't you still believe her despite the fact that you already deport her? How could you!? I'm your niece.. We are family!?!" umiiyak na sumbat nya sa uncle nya
"athaliah.. Regardless of our relationship we must be fair with everybody.. When we were in Singapore I asked Cheena about the concept being sent to bighit but all she said was about the person she love.. Then here in Korea I was shocked when someone went to me and told me to lift the deport papers of Cheena because she was innocent and so that he could be with her again.. I told him to prove it and he did" sagot ng uncle niya
Someone? Sinung someone yun??
"at first I was hesitant because I don't personally know him but he proved himself.. He gave proofs and he helped me to interrogate Gary that's why we found out that Cheena wasn't lying at all" paliwanag pa nito
"who the hell is he?! How could he do this to me!?" galit na na naman na sigaw ni Athaliah..
"That is..."
"me" biglang sumulpot si kuya Jin sa stage
"Kim Seok Jin?" nanghihina ng sabi ni Athaliah sabay upo sa lapag.."why??"
"simply because I love her and I want to be with her again"
"she stole you from me"
"anniyo.. She never stole anyone from you especially me... I know I loved her from the day I met her.."
"no.."nanghihinang sabi ni athaliah
"that is true... We all loved her because she is real and not a push over" sabi naman ni Eunwoo sabay dampot sa ate niya..
Sabay nga silang bumaba ng stage at lumabas ng facility nila.. Naiwan sa stage si kuya Jin.. Ilang minuto pa ay pinalabas na kami sa conference room at pinapunta din sa stage at doon sabay sabay na humingi ng sorry samin ang mga tao doon.. Mula sa staff hanggang sa president nila..
Sa wakas.. Malinis na ang pangalan ni ate..
"so this is what you have been doing for the past week huh?!" siko ko kay kuya Jin
"i really wanted to be with her again..so I thought when I make her name clear she will go back here but she already made up her mind to stay in your country right?" sagot nito sakin
"de.. Im sorry"
"its okay as long as she is happy" nakangiting sagot nya ulit
Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero I smell something fishy... Hmmmmmmm
Magtatanong pa sana ako ng bigla nalang akong hawakan ni Mr. Bang sa balikat ko..
"yes sir" sagot ko sabay yuko "thank you very much"
"its nothing sagot niya.." sabay talikod at shake hands sa president ng company nila..
***Cheena's POV***
Matapos kong makuha ang police clearance ko ay dali dali ko namang tinawagan si Yuna..
"Cheena Shi!!!" masayang sigaw niya maya maya pa ay nasa tabi na din niya si Ara
"how are you!!? We missed you so much!" sabi pa nito
"I've missed you too.. I'm sorry I have no time to explain everything to you"
"no its OK.. We heard about the rumors about you but believe me we never believed that you did that" sabi ni Ara
"yeah.. We know that you are a good person and you will never let confidential things out of this company" pagsang ayon naman ni Yuna..
"thank you guys I know I can count on you" naiiyak na sabi ko..
"no don't thank us.. We barely do anything... You must thank~" hindi na nila natuloy ang sinasabi nila dahil parang may biglang dumating "sir billy" yuko ni yuna
"is that Cheena shi again?" tanong nito
"de"
"may I speak with her?" tanong niya maya maya pa ay nasa screen na si secretary/driver "hi ms. Cheena"
"hello sir" nakangiting pagbati ko naman dito
"since we have found you not guilty about the concept., the president wants to know if you would like to go back to Korea and work with us again?"
"po?" wala sa sariling sagot ko..
"he is asking if you want to go back here in Korea and work with us again!" ulit naman niya
Work with them again? Go back to Korea? So ibig sabihin makakasama ko na naman ang Bangtan.. At si Jin..
Si jin?? Bigla nalang tumibok ng pagkabilis bilis ang puso ko..
"ms. Cheena?" tawag pansin ulit sakin ni secretary/driver
"I'm sorry sir.. Thank you for the opportunity but I am afraid I need to decline it.. I have decided already that I will stay in my country for good.. Please tell the president that I am happy that he wants to give me another chance but I already made up my mind" sagot ko
Ngumiti siya at tumango
"Ok I will do.." sagot niya sabay balik ng phone kay Yuna.. At pinagpatuloy na nga naming tatlo ang walang kamatayang kwentuhan naming tatlo..
Tama.. Tama ang desisyon ko.. Hindi ako nababagay kay Jin kaya naman dapat lang na ako na ang lumayo sakanya... Kahit na mahirap..
