You, Ever Since. Chapter 10
Natapos ang weekend pero sobrang bigat pa rin ng pakiramdam ko tungkol sa nangyaring encounter ko kina Rancher at kanyang girlfriend. Ngayon ko lang napagtantong mas mahirap pala magkaroon ng closure kesa saw ala at all lalo na kung may natitira pang feelings talaga ang isa sa dalawang mag ex-couple.I really feel demotivated and I just want to lie on my bed, but since I am a professional, I cannot let these emotions hinder my work. I have to endure this and hope that, sooner or later, I’ll get better.“Salamat,” sabi ko kay Jessie nang pagbuksan ako nito ng pinto. Even though I feel depressed, I can’t help but to notice that some of the unit owners residing in the same condo as me who were waiting for their rides were glancing at him. I cannot blame them though. Jessie is really a good-looking man and I, especially Ayn, could attest to that. It makes me suddenly wonder if he has a girlfriend already and, at the same time, I won’t be surprised if he has or he has none, because guys of

“Are you really okay?” tumigil si Elijah sa paglakad nang makalabas kaming coffee shop. Wala akong choice kundi mapatigil din dahil malayong mas malaking tao ito sa akin kaya no choice ako kundi mapatigil sa paghila dito. Marahan ako nitong hinarap sa kanya. Pumikit muna akong madiin at bumuntong hininga para kalmahin ang ang aking sarili. “Sorry,” paumanhin ko dito. “I suddenly felt suffocated inside. That’s why I feel like I need to breathe some fresh air,” pagsisinungaling ko. “That’s it,” may pinalidad sa tono nito. “You’ll get the day off,” ito na ang nagdesisyon para sa akin. “No!” mabilis na protesta ko at mabilis na umiling-iling. If there’s a place I don’t want to go to right now, it’s my home. I don’t want to go home because I would just feel more depressed. I would just be overthinking things and break my heart by thinking about the reality I am in right now. What I really need today is to get myself distracted from all the worries and heartaches. “Cattaleya, you’re obvi

“Cheers!” Ayn exclaimed while raising her glass. Kakalapag palang ng waiter ang order namin pero eto na ito at tila gusto na agad ubusin. Napailing-iling nalang ako pero itinaas ko din ang baso ko. Nasa isang club kami sa BGC. Ang sabi nito ay sasayaw daw kami mamaya at hindi siya papayag na hindi ako sasama. Graduate na daw ako sa level 1 upang maging ganap na party girl. Ang lesson 2 daw ay ang pagsasayaw sa dance floor. “Hi!” napaangat kami ng tingin nang lapitan kami ng isang lalaki. Hindi pa nga kami nakaka-2nd round pero ito na at may lumapit na sa amin. I am used to people randomly approaching us at kahit pa kapag mag-isa ako. Cute naman ito in fairness. Iyon nga lang, bukod sa halatang mas bata ito ay hindi naman ako interesadong makipagkilala sa mga lalaki. Sa kaso naman ni Ayn, alam ko ding hindi ito pumapatol sa mas bata. She loves men who are mature and who can lead her. Medyo strong kase ang personality nito. “Yes?” tanong ni Ayn dito. “Do you want to share a table wit

Mahigpit kong niyakap ang taong naging kakampi ko simula nang magkaisip ako. Hindi matigil-tigil ang pag-agos ng aking luha dahilan para mas higpitan pa nito ang pagkakayakap sa akin. "Palagi kitang bibisitahin," pang-aalo nito sa akin. "Pangako?" Hindi ko na ata mabilang kung ilang beses ko itong pinaulit-ulit mangako na palagi akong bibisitahin. Hindi ko alam kung paano na ako ngayon dito sa bahay-ampunan na wala ito. Simula magkaisip ako, kami na ang palaging magkasama at magkakampi sa lahat ng bagay. Wala kaming sikreto sa isa't-isa. Alam namin kung ano ang pangarap ng bawat isa hanggang sa magbinata at dalaga kami kung saan naging iisa nalang ang pangarap naming dalawa. Iyon ay ang maikasal sa isa't-isa at sabay na aabutin ang mga pangarap sa buhay. Naramdaman kong tumango ito. "Pangako," sagot nito. "Maghahanap agad ako ng trabaho at magsisikap para makapag-ipon ako," dagdag nito. Mas matanda ito ng dalawang taon sa akin kaya mauuna itong lalabas ng bahay-ampunan dahil 18 yea

"Attorney, Mr. Sandoval has already deposited your acceptance fee," napaangat ang tingin ko sa pinto kung saan dumungaw ang ulo ng aking sekretaryang si Mariel. "He's asking when will you be available for a meeting daw po," dagdag nito."Can you check my schedule for tomorrow if kaya siyang isingit," utos ko. Mr. Sandoval is a big client and he's filing an Intellectual Property case against a competitor, specifically a trademark case."After your court hearing po in RTC Manila tomorrow, you're free naman po in the afternoon but at dinner time po, you have a meeting with Sir Vince,", sagot nito."Kindly tell Mr. Sandoval to come here after lunch," sabi ko.I don't meet clients outside my office. If it's work related, I prefer them coming in my office for consultation or for a meeting so we could focus more on the details regarding a case or any prospective case to be filed for a possible Attorney-Client-Relationship."I will po, Attorney," sabi ni Mariel at sinara na ang pinto nang bin

Tulala ako nang makauwi sa aking condo galing sa dinner meeting namin ng binayaran kong private detective. It suddenly dawned on me why I was not able to find him all these years using my own effort. Kaya pala hindi ko ito mahanap sa kahit anong social media ay dahil iba na ang pangalan nito. According to the report of the private detective that I hired, he's not the Caleb Sanchez that I knew anymore. He has a new identity now and he's now known as Rancher Silva.I immediately typed his name on Google and numerous information were shown as well as his pictures.According to one of the sites on Google, Rancher Silva is included in the top 50 richest bachelors in the country's business world. At the age of 29 and only in the span of 5 years, he was able to expand his father's Real Estate Business in Visayas and Mindanao.Ang sabi sa investigation report, nahanap ito ng biological parents nito after 18 years. Ito pala ang nawawalang anak ng business tycoon na si Ronaldo Silva at Lianna S

"Attorney, andito po si Attorney Ayn," my secretary informed, and opened the door wider so the person she was referring to could enter. Nakasuot ang aking uninvited guest ng fitted white dress na above the knee na pinatungan ng black blazer at pinartneran ng black high heels. She's a stunner and if di ko ito kilala, mapagkakamalan kong model. "Wala kang appointment miss," biro ko dito na inirapan lang. "You're coming with us tonight and I won't take no for an answer," bungad nito at inignora ang pagbibiro ko. Napataas ang kilay ko dahil wala akong ideya kung anong meron. "Attorney Rillera, don't tell me you forgot about Elijah's birthday?" napapailing-iling na tanong nito. Napaface-palm naman ako nong marealize kong tama ito at wala akong nabiling regalo. "Shit, I totally forgot," pag-amin ko. "I don't have a gift," medyo natatarantang ako. "I knew it!" inis nitong sabi. "Buti nalang pala at pinaalala ko dahil kung hindi ay baka namuti na mga mata namin mamaya kakahintay sayo pero

"Shit, I forgot my blazer," sabi ko sa katabi kong si Ayn. Dalawa kaming nasa backseat. Ang driver/bodyguard nito ay napatingin sa rearview mirror."Balik po ba tayo ma'am?" tanong nito."No way!" agap ng katabi ko. "Male-late na tayo if babalik pa. Saka why would you need a blazer? Mainit naman sa club," irap nito. Tama naman ito na male-late na kami kung babalikan pa. Mas malapit na kami sa Shang Palace kesa kapag babalik sa condo para kunin ang naiwan kong blazer. Gusto ko nalang kutusan ang aking sarili dahil nakalimutan ko ang pinaka-essential sa akin. I get cold easily. Kaya palagi akong nakablazer sa opisina at sa kahit anong lugar na may aircon."You know I get cold easily," irap ko din dito. "It's your fault. Kung hindi mo sana pinakialaman tong make-up ko e di sana hindi ako nadistract at nakalimutan yong blazer ko," paninisi ko dito."Hindi maginaw doon," she assured me, but she smirked na para bang masaya pang nakalimutan ko ang blazer ko.
