Chapter 35
I stared at the two choices I'm holding right now. Paulit ulit kong binabalikan nang tingin ang bagay na nasa magkabilang kamay ko. I can't decide kung anong pipiliin.
"Hmm.. hindi ko alam kung anong bagay sa kanya" bulong ko. Inangat ko ang tingin ko at nagtingin tingin pa nang ibang gamit na pwedeng mairegalo.
Birthday pala ngayon ni Jerwin. Kaya ba inaya nya kong mag dinner? Pero, nevermind. I shouldn't be assuming.
Gusto ko syang regaluhan. Ewan ko, nang sabihin ni Yohan na birthday ni Jerwin ngayon, otomatikong lumabas sa bibig ko ang pagpapaalam at dumiretso ako dito sa mall. Parang kumilos nang sarili yung katawan ko para hanapan nang regalo si Jerwin.
I checked the time. 12 noon na. Ilang oras na den pala ako dito sa labas. Nagpaalam ako kay Yohan kaninang mga alas syete imedya eh at naghintay pakong magbukas ang mall. 10 AM kase ang opening hours nang mall kaya naghintay pako nang ilang o

3PM na. Nag stay lang ako sa kwarto habang nag aantay mag 5 PM. Jerwin even texted me, reminding me that he'll fetch me on 5PM. I'm lying on my bed. I'm worrying about my mom, really. Si Dad? Hindi ko na alam. Hindi ko sya nakita ngayong araw. I stood up and went on my Mom's room. I softly knocked before I opened the door at nakita ko na nakaupo si Mommy sa kama nya while staring at the window. "Mom?" I called then I walked inside her room. She noticed me and smile. Tumayo sya at niyakap ako. I frowned when I feel her body getting thinner. "Aalis kaba ngayon, Venice?" Tanong nya habang hinahaplos ang buhok ko. I lean towards her and closed my eyes. I feel relaxed by her touch. "Opo. Inaya po ako nang..." I hesitated dahil alam kong hindi komportable si Mommy na pag usapan ang kung anong tungkol sa boss ko. Kahit hindi ko alam kung bakit pero ayokong magsinungaling. "Nang boss ko po. S

"You seems distracted" I snapped out of my thoughts when Jerwin spoke. Uminom sya mula sa baso nang tubig then he wiped his mouth. "Sorry" I whispered. He became silent until a music from a violin surrounds the place. May mga tao nang tumayo para magsayaw. I just stared at them, a memory flashed in my mind. A memory of me and Jefferson dancing on our garden while he sings me a song. My tears are about to fall but it gets interrupted when a hand shows infront of me. Jerwin stood there. His other hands is on his back. He had a small smile on his lip. "May I have the dance?" He softly asked. My heart suddenly fastens it's beat as I take his hands. He leads me to a space in the center. Tahimik akong pinapanood kung paano nya ilagay ang kamay ko sa magkabilang balikat nya then his both hands in my waist. A sudden electricity flows through my body kasabay

Working days started again. I'm currently resting myself dahil natapos ko na ang pag check at encode nang iilang files. Pati yung reports, na arrange ko na den. All I need to do is to give it to Jerwin. Bumukas ang pintuan nang opisina nya. I looked up and saw him motioning me to come inside. I immediately stands up and walk towards his desk. He sat in his chair while I'm waiting for him to speak. "Sir? Anything you need?" He didn't answer. Instead, may kinuha syang dalawang papel mula sa drawer nya at inilapag sa desk katapat ko. Lumapit ako para tingnan yun at nakita na dalawang round trip ticket yun. I glanced at him. Sumandal sya sa upuan nya bago nagsalita. "You'll come with me. I have to seal a deal abroad and I need you to come with me" he said. I still stood there, confused. Hindi naman ako nagtataka na isasama nya ako. Ang pinagtataka ko, bakit may ticket? I mean, he have a p

We landed abroad. We're now here, waiting for someone to pick us up. Jerwin has a condo here, he said so dun daw kami magsi stay until the deal ends. Two days before this day, I helped Jerwin packed his clothes. Nothing happened actually, we just pacjed the clothes, silently then after that, pinauwi nya agad ako para daw makapagpahinga. Kinabukasan, ako naman ang nagpack nang damit ko at kinausap ko si Mommy since I missed talking to her. She smiled the whole time we talked at kahit nabanggit ko ang boss ko, her smile grew wider pero napansin ko ang kalungkutan don at... pagsisisi. I was also shocked dahil pinayagan nya ko without second thought nang sabihin kong I'm going with Jerwin abroad for business matters. She even helped me packed. "Let's go?" Jerwin taps my shoulder kaya napalingon ako sakanya. He motioned the black car parked infront of us na di ko namalayang dumating na pal

Inayos nya ang pagkakatayo nya and still, a smile was etched on his lips. A sound made us pulled away. Hindi ko napansin na nasa floor na pala kami. "Tara" sabi nya. We both stepped out off the elevator. U noticed that this is the top floor of the building. Why is he fond of top floors? Huminto sya sa tapat nang pintuan na nasa dulo nang hallway, hindi kalayuan sa elevator. He entered his code and the door inmediately opened. An automatic light turns on. Jerwin lets go of my hand, finally and dropped his things on the couch. Ako naman, inilibot ang tingin ko sa loob. It's neat and refreshing yung wallpaper. Tanaw din ang city from here and I bet, kapag may free time, dito ako tatambay, enjoying the view especially at night. "Why are you standing there? Come here. Put your luggage down and sit here" he reached out his hands. I walked towards the couch and put down my luggage at saka ako naupo sa tabi nya.

I'm now in my room. After what happened a while ago, Jerwin takes me here and said that I should rest. Tatawagin nalang daw nya ko if ever magdidinner but I suddenly remembered my favor. I asked if I can cooked our dinner! Tumayo ako at mabilis na nagpalit nang damit. Komportableng damit at saka ako lumabas. I tied my hair into a bun para hindi maging sagabal pag nagluto ako. I got into the kitchen. Agad akong dumiretso sa tapat nang refrigerator at nakitang puno yung stock non. He came prepared. I wonder who puts this on his ref. Did he have a.. like, someone who cleans his condo? I spotted a pork and some ingredients that I can use to make Nilagang Baboy. Napagdesisyunan kong ito nalang ang lutuin. Maliban sa namimiss kong kainin ito, I know Jerwin also likes this dish. Madali ko lang nahanap ang mga utensils na kailangan. I took out my phone. I'm gonna watch some tutorial or guide.

My whole body froze. My heart fastens its beat and all I did was stare at him. Tears on my eyes started to fall too habang unti unti kong iniintindi ang lahat nang sinabi nya. Pilit kong iniintindi dahil baka namisheard ko lang. He said he's Jefferson. The Jerwin Rivera who's my boss right now just said he is Jefferson. It's so much for me too take in. I stared at him before gulping as I prepared myself to ask. I want to confirm. Clearly, this is something that can't take as a joke. "Y- you're Jefferson?" I asked, whispering. He took a deep breath and nodded. "H-how come? You're clearly aren't Jefferson. I-i know him. I know his face and makikilala ko kaagad sya pag nakita ko ulit sya so, why are you saying that you are him?" I was blabbering because of nervousness and the emotions filling inside. He leaned back the chair and takes a sip of water in

"Ready?" He asked while fixing his tie. Humarap naman ako sakanya and I immediately smile when I saw him looking at me with a smile. Last look at my appearance, I nodded and walked near him. Last night when he confessed that he's Jefferson. We talked and talked until we both fell asleep. I asked him why his face changed but he diverted the topic kaya hindi ko na pinilit. He seems uncomfortable talking about that. Did he change his face so that my Dad wouldn't continue his plan on killing him? But, my Dad seems to know that it's him since narinig ko yung usapan nila ni Mommy non. After talking, we both fell asleep. Next to each other. I remembered hugging him. Feeling the same feeling back then and it all come back. My heart feels satisfied after a long time knowing that Jefferson is back now. "Hey? Come inside now. Mainit dyan baka mapawisan ka" My thoughts vanished
