CHAPTER 16
PREPARATION, lahat ata pinaghandaan ni Migo para sa darating na anniversary his cousins— Montessori's is the one who helped a lot lahat ng maayos nila ay ginawa nila and Vera helped him to prepare kung anong dapat niya gawin, dapat niya sabihin halos lahat hinanda nila para sa pag dating niya bilang Migo Bourne. A lot of businessman, businesswoman are invited to that event and this event will be much different because It's special as he include himself and now to claim the chair or being owner and one and only heir of Bourne Enterprises. They will be all surprised and shock, to began with. He never show up himself before.
Now, he is all ready for it. The event's theme was black and red. It's not masquerade, since masyado ng common at normal ang masquerade. They make it just a normal theme event and party. For everyone, invitations has been given, they will all be curious why there's a invitations and what's making it so special? They do too, they are excited.
Napapangiti nalang siya kapag nakikita ang kasintahan na maayos, na kayang kaya nito ang ginagawa at tila sobrang excited. One she visited him home, he was on his gym exercising then when she asked why is he exercising instead of preparing.
He said this, he doesn't want people thinks he is a very weak person, he want to look good and gym person that healthy. He doesn't want people sees him as that weak one, weak. He's not that weak.
But some people thinks he is.
Nasa mall siya ngayon, Vayce sent her something at kinuha niya iyon then dumaretso narin ng mall to eat some ice cream. She's on her period kaya siguro mej nagca-crave siya sa ice cream at pagkain.
"Vera?" Napatigil siya paglabas ng ice cream parlor na makita niya si Rois na naroon, damn! Ano ba problema ng isang 'to? "What do you want?"
Iritable siya. "I just saw you, Are you mad? Nag away ba kayo ni Migo kaya ganiyan ka kasungit?"
"Fuck you, Rois. Hindi kami nag aaway na dalawa, kung mag aaway 'man kami dahil yun sayo. Can't you stay away from me? Just step out away!"
She gasped. "I just want to be friends with—" pinutol niya agad ang sasabihin nito. "I don't want to be friends with you, Rois. Now kindly leave me alone!"
"Ganiyan ba talaga ang galit mo sa akin, Vera?" Tumaas ang kilay niya dito, really? "Oo. Ganiyan ang galit ko sayo at ayoko sayo." He didn't react.
Lumakad siya paalis, she can't even take to be with this kind of man. Ayaw na ayaw niya pa naman kay Rois, ang makita ito ang pinaka-ayaw niya sa lahat.
Pinipilit niyang lumayo, lapit naman ng lapit sakaniya si Rois. She doesn't know what he need. Gusto makipagkaibigan? Yeah. No thanks, ayaw niya ng kaibigan at rois ang pangalan. She rather choose having no friends than being friends with him.
No thank. Hindi niya kailangan si Rois sa buhay niya para magkaroon siya ng kaibigan. May mga kaibigan niya mas minahal siya hindi katulad niya.
"You don't forgive me?" Gustong gusto niya tumawa at tawanan ang pinagsasabi nito, really? Yun ang itatanong niya sakaniya? "Grabe, Rois. Anong akala mo? Inagawan mo ako ng candy tas tinakbuhan mo ako? Hindi yun ganon, Rois! Tandaan mo kung anong ginawa mo sa akin, Noon. Baka naka-kalimutan mo lang naman, you cheated on me."
Tila natahimik ito. "I'm sorry—"
"Sorry can't fix anything, so just stop following me! I don't like you around, I hate seeing your face!"
Tumalikod siya at umalis, alam niyang nakasunod parin ito naiinis na siya kaya naman tinawagan niya si Migo, Sigurado siyang wala itong sinasabi. Allen texted her na hindi busy si Migo ngayon kaya naman nagsabi siya na sinusundan siya ni Rois sa mall.
Let's see what happened next. Nag hintay siya na dumating si migo habang lumalakad siya palabas na nakasunod si Rois sakaniya, she gasped and rolled her eyes napawi naman agad ang inis niya when she saw migo walking towards her. Malawak ang ngiti na yumakap at humalik sa kasintahan niya.
"What's happening here?" Tanong ng kasintahan niya habang nakayakap parin siya dito at tumingin ito kay Rois na nasa likuran. "You, are you following my wife? Step away, Delgado. Not my wife.."
Ngumisi ito. "Wife? You haven't even marrying her and you call her your wife? Where's the ring? Do you really think I believed that you two are married, she's not married either to you. Migo, so what huh?"
"At-lease, I'm not like you. A dipshit who actually what? Hurt her instead of loving her. Oh! I forgot, you use her to piss me off, so you didn't love her in the first place. Why I'm not so surprised, Delgado."
Namuo ang kamao nito. "That's not true! I loved her." Maski siya hindi maniniwala sa mga sinasabi ni rois. Minahal? Yeah right, pero sinaktan parin siya.
"Kung mahal mo hindi mo lolokohin—" huminto ito at tila may sumagi sa utak. "Yeah, mahal mo ba talaga si yuri o hindi? Kung mahal mo yung babaeng yon. Anong ginagawa mong sinusundan si Vera dito?"
Tumikom si rois. She stay her fingers around him and he keep holding her. "Rois, look. I'm having a better life with my new boyfriend, please? Just let it go, have your own life too. Don't mess with mine."
"I just want us to be okay, Vera." Malalim ang buntong hininga niya para lang tigilan siya ni rois magsasalita na siya. "We can't rois, you give me enough pain. We talk. Okay na yun. Tigilan mo na ako, please rois. I'm asking you right now."
Umabante ito. "I'm sorry. I was maybe just expecting we could be friends again, we can fix what I did before. Sorry, I'm sorry. Siguro nga palagi nalang ako nag sosorry. Believe it or not wala akong nais na sirain kayo, or ano ang namamagitan sainyo. I love yuri, I just want this guilt out of me at mawawala lang siya kapag napatawad mo na ako."
"Rois," seryosong boses ni migo na tumawag sa pangalan ng dating kaibigan at humarap dito kaya naman napabitaw siya sa pag hawak sa bisig ng kasintahan. "She can't give you the forgiveness, give her a time. She need a lot of time to think, to process everything. She might be moved on, but the pain you causes her? It breaks her. She need more time. Let her think, decide. Please, Rois? For her. Give her more time." Pakiusap ni migo may rois.
Hindi na niya tinignan ito at ng makaalis ay umalis narin silang dalawa. Migo didn't let go of her hands and he keep holding her hanggang maihatid siya nito sa condo niya pero di pa sila nakakapasok sa loob ng lingunin ni Migo ang butler niyang si allen.
"Allen, I'll be staying here for a while with her and you, leave me here. You can stay home and report to me whenever something happened to the company I'm monitoring. Understand?"
Tumango ito at umalis. Nakita niya na tingin ni migo ng hawakan nito ang kamay niya.
Marahan siyang tumawa at napailing sa kasintahan niyang inaatake ng ka-halayan, may mala-demonyo itong binabalak sakaniya. Naramdsman niya agad, sa pag hawak palang ng kamay niya naramdaman niya na ang maitim na balak nito sakaniya sa loob.
ALMOST A WEEK.
Halos isang linggo mahigit the Night comes saan magsisimula ng umapak si Migo sa kumpaniyang pinagharapan ng mga magulang nito bilang siya naman na susuporta sa mahal niyang kasintahan. Susuportahan niya ito sa abot ng kaniyang makakaya at sa tulong na magagawa niya. Tutulungan niya si Migo at alam niyang kaya at kakayanin niya itong tulungan, she's the supportive girlfriend and migo? Migo wanted one thing but to have her on his side. She will always be on his side and whatever happens, magkasama sila sa lahat ng ngyari now she want to return the favour.
She want to stay with him, whatever happened.
Bumuntong hininga siya at tinignan ang sarili sa salamin sa suot niyang black and white na dress. This dress? It wasn't her dress, someone sent that dress hindi niya alam kung sino. May nagpa-dala the nagleave lang ng note na I'm so sorry, enjoy the party. Wala manlang pangalan or initials, sinuot nalang niya wala rin siyang mahanap ng magandang dress para sa event ngayon.
Para sa party ng boyfriend niya.
Sino, sino ka na nagpadala nito sa akin? Wala siyang alam sino, akala niya si Migo but the writing on the note is different. Iba sa writing ni Migo.
Must someone, knows her or knows that she need some clothes for the party? Probably just random.
Napalingon siya sa labas ng kwarto ng marinig ang tunog ng doorbell na may tao sa labas she clicked something from her room to see who's outside.
Migo in his black and white tuxedo. "Hey. Bubby, we'll be late in the party. Come out now." Ani migo.
Tumawa siya and clicked a button. Yeah. I'm going out, wait for me just a second okay? I'm not yet done to my make up!" Singhal niya sa kasintahan niya.
Inayos niya ang sarili niya bago siya lumabas sinigurado niyang maganda siya maayos ang make up o suot niyang dress, ngumiti sa sarili at lumabas.
"Jesus bub, Maalis rin naman yan and don't be so beautiful and perfect baka pag tinginan ka ng mga lalake sa party. I don't like when they're looking at my beautiful girlfriend. You know me right?"
She rolled her eyes. "I didn't complain when girls look at you. And let them look, that's the only they can do. Look, Bub. They look. While you fuck."
"Damn, woman. You're mouth doesn't even have a single filter to speak with me like that. Huh, bubby?"
Tumawa siya at tumigil sa pag lalakad to push him to the wall and claim his lips. "Don't mess my lipstick. Okay? I'm so proud of you, you know that?"
"I have this rich boyfriend now and finally will lead his way to the company his parents left for him. I'm sure, proud na proud rin sila sayo ngayon. Just like how proud I am to you, my beautiful man."
he chuckles. "Tara na nga baka ma-late pa tayo, anong oras na. Your friends and cousins must be already there at tayo nalang ang wala." Napa-iling iling naman siya at hinila si Migo paalis ng condo at makaalis na sila papunta sa kumpaniya niyo.
The huge building of Bourne Enterprises.
Nakita niya ang pagka-kaba ni Migo habang nasa labas ng building kaya naman hinawakan niya ang kamay na lumakad silang dalawa patungo ron si allen ay nasa likuran nila nakasunod sakanila.
"Don't be so nervous, bub." Bulong niya dito at humalik sa kasintahan bago tuluyang makapasok sa loob ng kumpaniya nito. Ramdam niya ang malamig na kamay ng kasintahan niya na humahaplos sakaniyang balat. Kinakabahan talaga ito kaya naman nanlalamig ang kamay ngayon sakaniya.
This man, full of nervous. Because after a long decades and a long years ngayon lang siya magpapakilala sa buong kumpaniya niya kung sino ba siya at kung bakit ngayon lang ito nagpakita.
"A lot of guests, they're all rich and I feel so poor." Bulong niya habang nakatingin sa paligid saan naroon ang halos mayayamang tao. Businessman and Businesswoman na nakapaligid sa buong kumpaniya wearing their expensive dress and clothes. "You're not. You have me anyways."
Mahina siyang tumawa at mahina pang hinampas ito sa balikat. "We should look for my cousins baka kasama nila sila Heil at Heaven." Kalmado na itong hinawakan kamay niya at lumakad paalis papunta sa kung saan maaring naroon sila Trigger sa oras na ito. Then when they got there she saw Taffy.
With her smile that heavily rushed and hugged her best friend. "Jesus, You really do missed me?" Tanong ni Taffy at tumango siya habang yakap yakap lang ito. Humiwalay siya agad. "You know me without you my only bestfriend, Tiffany—"
"Stop right there. Don't call me that." Tumawa siya sa reaksyon nito. "Why do you even hate your name. It's beautiful, like the korean-american star."
Nirolyohan siya nito ng mata. "Tiffany."
It's hunter. "Wow. You let him call you tiffany and me you hate it? now, I hate you. Taf, I hate you." Pagtatampo niyang iekis ang braso niya dito.
Yumakap ito sakaniya. "Tampuhin ka talaga, binibiro lang naman kita tska hindi ako sanay pag ibang tao tumatawag nun. He called me Tiffany since day one kaya sanay na sanay na ako. You, you call me taffy."
"I miss you, ano ngyari sayo?" Hinawakan niya ang dalawang kamay ng kaibigan hahang tinatanong ito.
Bullet spoke. "Nilaspag ni hunter." Sinamaan niya ng tingin si Bullet, then rifle spoke. "At ni trigger."
Kumunot ang noo niya sa sinabi ni rifle. "What?" Bumaling siya kay Taffy na nagtataka sa sinasabi ng mga ito. "Don't listen to them." Hinila siya nito agad.
"Come 'on. Let's party."
NG MAKA-ALIS ang dalawa ay agad siyang bumaling kay Hunter at Trigger. Yeah, pinsan niya nga ang mga ito kaya kilala na niya kapag may mali o may nagaganap 'mang hindi maganda sa pagitan ng dalawa katulad nalang ng kakaiba sa pagitan ng kambal niyang pinsan. Hunter and Trigger, magka-sunod lang ang dalawa pero nagagawa pa mag away dahil sa iisang babae— yes. Kilalang kilala na nga niya talaga ang mga pinsan maski mga kaibigan kahit na saang bahong anggulo tignan. Alam niya.
Napailing siya. "Are you two fighting over a one girl?" Tanong niya sa pinsan habang si Rifle at Bullet ay nasa gilid lang, magkahiwalay ng pwesto si Hunter at Trigger habang nagigitnaan ng Lamesa. Obviously, they are not in a good term right now.
"Sounds like deja vu, right?" Si pollux. Tumaas ang kilay niya at deja vu nga ang sitwasyon. It was not just Hunter and Trigger who fights for a one girl, also Heil and Heaven. Deja Vu nga talaga. "We don't fight over a one girl, Tiffany is my girlfriend not his!"
Tumingin siya kay Trigger. "That was a one mistake, for her eventually, for me? That's not a mistake."
"You motherfuck—"
Pinigilan niya agad ang pinsan. "Naiipit si Taffy sa inyong dalawa, hunter wag mo hintayin na mahirapan si taffy. Fix this right now!" Bumaling siya kay trigger. "Ano ba kasing ginawa mo, Trigger?"
"Oh. What did he should not do." May ngisi sa labi ni Hunter na tignan siya at tumingin rin kay Trigger na kambal nito. "He had sex with my girlfriend, nilasing niya ang girlfriend ko and make her drink this with a sex drug. He tricked her, had sex with her and she woke up crying begging telling me. It wasn't me she slept with. It was his who make my girl believe it was me. Matagal na yan may gusto kay taffy. It's not just our adopted brother gazer, also him! Fucking shit."
Trigger giggles. "Oh. Tell me hunter that losing her would be your downfall just like you did to me. It's payback time, motherfucker. You did this to my girlfriend before, remember her? Do you even remember the name of the woman you slept with before, Lotus. She have unique name anyways."
"You did this to me, I did it back to you. How does it feel thinking your girlfriend slept with me on your own bed? How does it feel to be betrayed by your own brother, huh? How does it feel now?"
Before the party starts nilapitan niya si taffy para kausapin ito tungkol sa pinsan niya, she knows what all happened and happening. Malaki ang away and taffy knows to handle kaya naman hinayaan na niya. Malalaki na sila they can handle things on their own.
Para bang sasakit ang ulo niya na pinagaayos niya pa matatanda naman ang mga yan, kaya na nila sarili nila now he had to focus on the company, malalim ang pag buntong hininga niyang kabado sa bawat gagawin niya. Migo wasn't that good at speech. Dumating na ang oras that Hunter step on the stage, and started to speak while he's nervous.
It's so gay to be so nervous.
"Hello and Good Evening, Ladies and Gentleman. We all gather here in Bourne Enterprises's Anniversary as we speak to meet the heir and rightful owner of this company. We all knew the son of Miguel and Hallie Bourne is just right behind and after the parents died It was hard for him, now finally we would gladly to meet my cousin. The heir and the only rightful for the position to have this company."
Everyone is whispering talking about like who is he, where is he. "Let's give a applause for Migo Bourne." Nagpalakpakan ang lahat ng tao at siya naman na hinalikan ni Vera bago umakyat sa stage.
He cough. "Good Evening, I'm Migo Bourne. The son and heir of Bourne Enterprises. I wasn't able to attend and claim my position for years I was ready, I was so scared to claim it since my parents death I was become so hard for me but then realising that i should take it, I'm old enough and I could manage things. But then, this woman came to my life. She said, she will help me and she did helped me a lot to the point of being thankful she's there for me."
Lumingon siya sa kasintahan, then someone raised its hand. "Can I ask you, Mr. Bourne? Why, why you didn't claim the company at the time you are in a right age to own and to manage this company?"
"I was afraid I will failed. I, I don't really know much how to manage a company. My cousin, Hunter knows that's why he is in charge to be managing this for me. When he came back, he said. He need a job so I ask him to manage this company for me until I'm ready to claim it, a lot of people helped me out."
Vera is smiling. "I'm thankful with my quad-cousins. My friends, Heil, Heaven and Pollux especially to my lovely girl, Vera. She's the one who pushed and help me with things I need. She's giving me all her support. I'm so thankful. Thank you, Everyone for accepting me and please. Do enjoy the party tonight, Let's all enjoy this night and this party, Thank you."
Bumaba siya ng stage then automatically come to Vera and hugged her really tight with his kisses.
"I'm so proud of you, bub. That's really great.." Proud na proud na sambit ni Vera sakaniya kaya napangiti siyang halikan ito sa harap ng maraming tao. So what? She's his girlfriend. "Let's drink."
Vera chuckled. "You'll let me drink?" tanong ni vera sakaniya na ikinatingin niya at tinanguan. "Yes, of course. Why wouldn't I? Come on, Bubby."
IN THE balcony side of the company. Duon sila nagsalo-salo at uminom while Taffy and Hunter already left, maaga sila umalis they were seems to avoid na agad niyang napansin sa mga ito. Hindi niya nalang inisip kung ano, kung ano man iyon ay seryoso na kahit hindi niya alam tiyak siya maayos ng dalawa. She believe in Taffy so much, she's strong anyways. Nakaya niya ang mahabang panahon na wala mga magulang niya sa tabi niya, kahit masakit ito sakaniya— of course that problem will be so easy for her. Ngumiti nalang siya at bumuntong hininga, she doesn't know what to do if something bad happens to her. She'll go crazy.
She felt so dizzy. "So, magpaparty ba kayo mamaya paguwi?" Sinamaan niya ng tingin si Heil sa sinabi nito, really? Napailing siya na binalingan si Migo.
"Shut up, Heil." Inis na sambit niya at tumabi lang kay Migo at nahiga sa balikat nito. "Dizzy?" Tinanguan niya ito pinaluputan siya ng braso nito.
Then there's trigger inside the party making out with random lady na nakita at nakilala niya. What's new with them, dapat nga sanay na siya sa mga ito.
"Gusto mo duon ka muna sa office ko?"
Lumingon siya dito. "You want to have rest? I probably stay here for a moment, the guest are still here. Magpahinga ka na muna kaya sa opisina ko?"
Before she can spoke, Heil's voice responded the question. "Maybe you two can have a shag on your office. Seems like you two just trying to run."
Napabangon ang ulo niya dito pero pinigilan siya ni Migo na masapag si Heil. "Come on, bub."
Ng makarating sila sa opisina nito may ginawa itong pindutin para maging itim ang paligid na walang makakita sakanila sa loob. Tinaasan niya agad ng kilay sa kasintahan at tinignan itong inaalis ang coat na suot niya at hinagid siya sa bewang niya to claim her lips, he's definitely drunk. Nalasahan niya na ang alak at halatang lasing nga talaga ito. Obviously.
"But migo, I'm still sore.." tinignan siya nito at tinawanan pa siya sa sinabi niya. "We are not going to have a sex.." then kinagat nito ang earlobe niya.
She frowned. "Then why are we here?" Mayoagta-taka na tanong niya. "Make out, bubby."
Hinampas niya ito sa balikat, he's being like that again. Minamanyak na naman siya, she likes it pero right now? Nope. Bad idea, sore parin siya eh.
"Matulog ka nalang nga."
"Patulugin mo ako."
Humiga ito sa isang couch siya naman naupo at himashimasin ang ulo nito para makatulog at makapahinga ito, gigising naman ito mamaya iidlip lang siya para mamaya maasikaso niya pa ang bisita. When he fall asleep, natanaw niya ang isang shadow sa labas kaya nanan pinuntahan niya at nakita niya si Rois na naroon sa labas.
What the fuck? Hinila niya si Rois sa isang sulok saan walang makakaita sakanila mula sa opisina o sa ibaba. No one should see them! Baka anong isipin ni Migo, baka— baka isipin nito may affair sila.
"Anong ginagawa mo dito?" Pasigaw na bulong niya dito. She didn't know that he will be here, "I want to talk to you, again. Kausapin mo naman ako."
Naiinis na talaga siya. "For damn what? Ano ba ang kailangan mo sakin, ano pa ba ang kulang sa mga sinasabi ko sayo? I don't like to talk to you!"
"Haven't you done clarifying things you did to me? Ano? Hindi ka pa tapos mag bigay ng closure?"
She's pissed. "Well then, I'm over with that shit! Off with me, Rois. I don't like you giving shit on me!"
"Vera.." tawag nito sakaniya, nakaramdam siya ng kakaiba sa pagtawag nito sakaniya. Hinawakan nito ang kaniyang kamay at tumingin sakaniyang mga mata. "I'm sorry." Kumunot ang noo niya and she wanted to yelled but he claimed his lips.
The moment he claimed her lips and trying to push him is also the moment that Migo saw them two.
