Gumalaw ako at naramdaman kaagad ang malambot na kama sa likod ko. I open my eyes and i saw the worried face of my mom.
"My god sweetie! You scared us. How are you? How's your feeling?"
"What happened?"
"You collapsed while you're crying, how are you?" Si Kenzo ang sumagot.
"What time is it?"
"Seven p.m"
"Tumawag na ba ang mga police? Any updates?"
Sabay sabay silang nag singhapan.
"Take a rest ylona. We can handle the investigation. And about that, wala pa silang update but they're doing there best"
"I need to get up"
"Ylona listen. Pagod kana, mag pahinga ka"
"Kuya i need to work! I have so many things to do"
"It's evening. Ako na ang bahala sa opisina at si Kenzo narin ang naka tingin sa embistagasyon"
"You don't understand me kuya" frustrated kong sabi.
"I do understand you ylona. Tauhan ko rin sila. They're under my supervision and me as the COO should be the one handling the case but i chose not to meddle with you because i know you'll freak out"
"Kuya"
"Ylona do not push my button. Hindi ko gusto ang ginagawa mo" umiling si kuya at humalukipkip sa pintuan.
"Dad" i called. Tumikhim muna siya bago tumango.
"I will let you do what ever you want but you need to rest tonight"
"Daddy, i told you ako nalang ang sa kaso" pag protesta ni Daddy.
"Yakiro" Dad warned him.
Kenzo held my hand, i held him back.
"Fine. Pero hindi ako tutunganga lang kapag umiyak ulit siya Daddy. You know what i mean"
It's about my depression. I know he's afraid that i might go back to that situation.
"She can handle herself this time pipes. And she'll ask for help if she can't handle it anymore" Gyro Beer asured my brother.
"I'll take care of her" si Kenzo.
I didn't inform my family about me and Kenzo but now that he's here holding my hand I'm sure they knew.
Gusto kong mag tago sa unan ng tingnan ni Daddy ang kamay namin bago niya ako pinag taasan ng kilay.
"Masasapak na kita Lorenzo" banta ni Kuya.
"Calm down dude. I already explain my side and i know it's stupid but this time i won't let her be alone" ngumiwi si Kenzo kay kuya.
"Siguraduhin mo lang Lorenzo sinasabi ko sayo"
"Kuya! Don't scare him!"
"Takot ka pala?" He said mockingly
Kenzo looked at me like i said something very bad. But he sighed and rolled his eyes on me.
"You wish" tamad niyang sagot.
Sa condo naako ni Kenzo nag pahinga dahil sa pagiging iritado ni kuya.
"Iyong engines daw ang pwedeng sumabog, baka daw nag over heat"
"Hindi iyon mag o-over heat ilang beses ko bang sasabihin sayo, that was new! All new!"
"Easy. Sila naman ang may sabi, hindi ako nakikialam sa embistagasyon"
"Laike, konti nalang. Konting konti nalang ako na ang gagawa"
"I'll go with you"
I massage my nosebridge.
"Laike pr-
"Baby" i felt Kenzo's arm on my waist.
Laike chuckled.
"Ohh nagising si Sweetheart"
"Shut up Laike"
Humigpit ang yakap ni Kenzo saakin. Naka upo naako sa kama habang nakahiga parin siya at nagising sa ingay ko.
"You're talking to that bastard?" Mariing tanong niya.
"This is important Kenzo. Matulog ka ulit"
"Fuck it" kumalas siya sa yakap niya at tumayo.
I sighed.
"I'll call you again Laike"
"Okay"
Tumayo ako at bumaba, hinanap ko si Kenzo at nakita ko siya sa may veranda.
"Hey" lumapit ako sakanya at niyakap siya sa likod.
"Sorry"
Mabibigat na hininga niya lang ang narinig ko.
"Kenzo, pinag uusapan lang namin yung tungkol sa embistagasyon"
"Why don't you wake me up and talk to me then? Bakit kailangan na yung unggoy pa naiyon!?"
"Because you have nothing to do with it"
"Now I'm useless. Is that it ylona?"
Napa atras ako ng kinalas niya ang yakap ko at harapin ako ng may galit na mukha.
"No! I didn't mean to offend you,is j-just that you won't understand it"
"I'm not a stupid ylona"
"Ofcourse you're not! Kenzo look, don't be jealous"
"Paanong hindi? Gustong gusto ko ng sapakin ang unggoy naiyon. Do you think I forget about the hotel?"
My heart is pounding while looking at his mad face.
"What's the relationship between you and Laike? It seems like he know all about you more than i know you"
"K-kenzo"
"I'm jealous! I'm fucking jealous ylona! He's there when I'm away, and now that I'm here again it seems like I am not allowed to enter in your own world"
"Baby listen" i cupped his frustrated face.
"No"
"Me and Laike is just a friend"
"What is all about the mission ylona?"
Dito naako napabitiw ng hawak sa mukha niya at madiing umiling.
"This isn't the right time to tell a story but i promise to tell you about it once the problem is solve"
Kumunot ang noo niya saakin.
"Bakit?"
"You w-won't understand" and you might hate me.
"Ylona"
I cupped his face and kiss him deeply.
"Kenzo trust me.."
"I'm jealous" mahina na niyang sinabi habang pinupulupot ang kamay sa bewang ko.
Nakahinga ako ng maluwag at ngumiti.
"I think i can do something about your jealousy"
"Uh-huh?"
"Yes" i bit his lowerlip.
"Oh goodness! You're good at this!"
Humalakhak naako ng mag simula siyang halikan ako sa leeg.
"I love you" i whispered.
"I want you baby" he whispered back
"Get me"
Pag katapos kong pakalmahin si Kenzo ay nakatulog ako pero nagising lang din ng maaga dahil problemang naka abang.
"I'll see you later" he kiss me.
"Take care"
Umakyat naako sa building at bumungad ang mga nag lingunang empleyado. I saw the media from afar but the security did thier job.
I'm wearing black longsleeve dress with my shades on. Hair's on a pontytail and my stilletos creating sounds on the floor.
"Good morning miss"
"Call a meeting for the stockholders and board members"
"Right away miss"
I went inside my office and prepare the papers i need for the meeting. I also check the investigation.
The door open and i was about to greet Kenzo but my heart best fast.
"Good Morning Miss CEO" Lucille greeted me mockingly.
On her side is Mrs. Barzuela who's looking at me full of hatred again.
I stand and face them.
"Good Morning, what can i help you?"
"You're an incompetent leader! How can you let your people sailed in the middle of the ocean without any assurance of living!?"
I tightened my grip on pen.
"And now you are dragging my son's name! They are blaming the construction firm of my son!"
Kumunot ang noo ko.
"Nobody's blaming your son or your company ma'am"
"You are dragging my son's name by flirting! You are flirting my son! You slut"
Bumilis ang pag hinga ko at nang lingunin ko si Lucille ay naka ngisi na ito saakin.
"Ma'am this is nothing to do with me and ken-
"Ofcourse it has! Nilalandi mo ang anak ko kahit na alam mong may fiancé na siya!"
Dalawang mag kabilang sampal ang natanggap ko. Mariin kong kinuyom ang kamao ko at tinaas ulit ang noo ko.
Mariin, masakit,at nanunuot ang bawat salitang binabato niya saakin.
"I told her to stay away with Kenzo but she threatened me" laglag ang panga ko ng makita ang mabilis na pag luha ni Lucille.
"Oh gosh, hija don't cry makakasama saiyo"
Niyakap niya pa si Lucille habang tinatahan. Habang ang babaeng labanos ay ngumiti pa saakin.
"You're nothing but a slut and stupid woman. Hinding hindi mo makukuha ang anak ko"
"Can i speak mama?" Nahahabag naman ako sa boses ni Lucille.
Pwede nang mag artista!
"Go on honey, but be careful" ingat na ingat naman na sabi ni Mrs. Barzuela
Humakbang palapit saakin si Lucille.
Isang malakas na sampal ulit ang tinanggap ko galing sakanya.
"I told you. Don't play games with me" she whispered while smirking.
"Layuan mo ang anak ko at linisin mo ang duming ikinalat mo"
Napayuko ako at hindi nakasagot.
Lagi akong matapang at nag bibigay ng maanghang na salita sa mga taong hindi ko gusto pero bakit kapag kaharap ko na ang mama niya wala man lang akong mabigay na salita.
Huminga ako ng malalim bago nag angat ng tingin sa pintuan na kasasarado lang.
"Layuan mo ang anak ko at linisin mo ang duming ikinalat mo"
Lilinisin ko ang dumi pero desisyon ng anak niyo kung lalayuan niya ako.
