Chapter 38
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

The meeting started and Jerwin immediately became serious and focused. Nawala yung kaninang nagtatampo nyang mukha. His father and mother seems calm too. And here I am, focusing on the meeting too. Mr. Gutierrez, the man who's making a deal with the Rivera's is speaking right now and I've been noticing how his secretary looks at the man beside me. She's quite young but older than me, I think and eversince she stepped inside with her boss, she can't take her eyes off Jerwin. And it irritates me but I calmed myself. It's immature kung papatulan ko at isa pa, I don't think I have the rights to act possessive. "Is that okay with you, Mr. Rivera?" Mr. Gutierrez asked. He smiled at his friend and waits for his answer. "Of course, your works and ideas always amaze me. And I already know that you're ideas would impress me" Mr. Rivera said. They shook hands and Jerwin did also.

I immediately go to get my things and pull out clothes to change when we got to his condo. I sighed as I started to comb my hair. Nahiga ako sa kama at kinuha ang phone ko. I remembered my Mom. I should call her. Jefferson opened the door and smiled. He's now wearing a white cotton shirt and black shorts. He sits in my bed and taps the space beside me, asking if he could lay down. I nodded and started dialing my mother's number. Jefferson wrapped his arms around my waist and burried his face on my hair. I closed my eyes and leaned on his chest as I wait for my mother to answer. "Who are you calling, hm?" He whispered. "My mom. I want to know how she's doing" sagot ko kasabay nang pagsagot nang tawag mula sa kabilang linya. "Mom?" I called. A silence greeted me. Until I heard sobs. My eyes instantly opened and I immediately sit up causing Jefferson to sit up too.

Warning: Suicide Mabilis ang flight namin pauwi sa Pilipinas. Jerwin's parents immediately allowed us after knowing what happened. Nung makita nila ang pagkabalisa ko, they immeduately said yes at sila na daw muna ang bahala sa upcoming deals. Jefferson is now driving. Papunta sa mansion namin. I'm nervous at ilang ulit akong huminga nang malalim. I'm nervous in what I would see when I got there. Sana nalowbat lang si Mommy o kaya naman nahulog lang yung phone but... her words. Her words hunts me. Her words sounds farewells. Para syang naghahabilin. "Venice.." Jefferson's voice invaded my thought. I felt him held my hand and gently squeezed. I held back his hand. "Don't overthink. Okay?" He softly said. I just nodded and wait till we got home. Mabilis akong lumabas nang maiparada ang kotse sa tapat nang mansion namin. The whole mansion is so silent. Mukhang walang tao. I hesitantly st
