CHAPTER 8
WALANG araw na hindi siya pinabayaan ni migo since that night lagi na si migo nasa tabi niya at hindi siya iniwanan. He said he want to make it up with her kaya naman hinayaan niya si Migo sa kung anong gagawin nito. She want to see things that migo would do around her and It's not disappointing. Migo, protect, do everything for her inaalagaan siya, inaaruga na parang may sakit siya kahit na normal lang naman ang ngyari sakaniya. Naalis narin naman yung sakit nawawala wala narin.
Migo wants to talk her out today, sabi nito gusto niyang lumabas silang dalawa para narin makabawi siya pasasayahin siya nito. Which actually parang dahilan para mawala inis niya sa binata, she allow him na ilabas siya nakakalakad naman na siya ng maayos wala ng inang dahilan para humindi siya.
He says, he did reserve a table for them.
"Hey, are you sure you're okay now?" Nagaalalang tanong nito sakaniya, maayos naman na ang pakiramdam niya. Pag kilos niya wala naman ng masakit sa pagitan ng binti niya, maayos na talaga siya. So she can go out with him, "Migo. Okay na talaga ako, I'm sure with it at wala ng masakit."
He's still worried. "Can I see it? Gusto ko makita kung hindi na namumula. I want to make sure."
Nanlaki ang kaniyang mga mata na tinignan si Migo sa sinabi nito. "Migo! Ano ka ba? Minamanyak mo ba ako o ako? Remember what the doctor says? No sex for two weeks!" Singhal niya naman dito.
"I'm not going to take you in wild bed. I just want to see if hindi na talaga namumula kapag nakita kong hindi, I will get convinced. Just let me see it first?"
Umiling siya. "No! You are out of your mind, migo!"
Hinawakan siya nito at nagpupumiglas siya hanggang masandal siya sa secret door ng walk in closet nilang dalawa, ng masandal siya sa book shelves na iyon ay ibinuka nito ang legs niya at inangat lang ang mini dress niya para ibaba ang suot niyang underwear at tinignan ang pagkababae niya, namula naman siya sa ginawang tingin nito.
He gasped at ibinalik ito. "Not reddish, It's fine so let's go? Baka malate tayo sa date natin." Ngumiti siya na namumula ang pisngi napansin agad ni Migo na namumula siya. "Don't be shy. I have seen that before, you just shaved." Mahina niya ito na hinampas sa braso at si migo na tumatawa lang sakaniya ngayon. That's not funny!
Nakakahiya, he saw her p-ssy shaved! Nahihiya siyang ang daming pagkakataon na makikita ni migo iyon bakit sa gamuon pa, it's not that she never shaved. She shaved a lot of times it's just.. she didn't expect it this time. Nahihiya talaga siya.
Ramdam niya na agad ang pagkapula ng pisngi niya ng dahil dito. This is not happening. "Don't worry, Vera. It's just me who saw that you shaved your pussy. Is that for me? You shaved for me?"
Sinamaan niya ito ng tingin. What did he say? "You can't shave for someone else you know.."
"Migo! Can we just go? This is making me so uncomfortable. You talk like a horny maniac."
Tumatawa si migo na buksan ang pintuan para sakaniya, with the butler who drove them to the restaurant. Allen stayed out of them, kumain rin si allen pero hindi kasama nila it's their date anyways so he went in a single table to eat alone while their start their date. Napansin niya talaga na nagiging okay narin si allen kay migo. At first kasi hindi, dahil siguro hindi siya sanay ng wala si alfred.
Now, allen is the one will live with them. He had to make things with allen too. Hindi niya lang basta basta magiging butler si allen. He can be his friend, bodyguard and a family too. Magsasama sila as a master and butler for a long time— long time.
"Find the reservation may kukuhanin lang ako." Paalam ni migo sakaniya. "Allen, samahan mo ako."
Ngumiti siya at nilapitan siya agad ng waiter kaya naman nahanap niya ang reservation nila, may nag serve agad ng pagkain nila before migo came and eat with their lunch. Yup, it's a lunch date.
Tahimik na parehas silang kumakain, she doesn't know what would they talk about pero alam niya na tinitignan siya ni migo minu-minuto itong tumitingin sakaniya and that's why she felt unusual feeling. She bite her lips at tinignan ang guwapong mukha ng lalakeng kaniyang kasama, kaniyang kaharap ngayon. He was so perfect, so handsome, so attractive and so seductive.
He had everything, even the perfection naisip niya bigla yung nakita niya sa kwarto. That tape, that wedding video but she can't say about that. Baka kasi kung ano ang mangyari kapag nagsalita siya, he was in pain all this time and the reason why it's easy for him.. about what yuri did.
"Migo?" That voice she never heard for a months. Kilalang kilala niya ang boses na ito at ng makita niya si yuri tila nandilim ang paningin niya lalo na ng batiin nito ng halik si migo sa harapan niya. Nakikipag beso siya kay migo. Did she have any idea who's migo? Mukhang wala siyang alam. "It's so nice to see you here. I've been looking for you actually. Tito was agreed to have business with you and he wants to meet you." Imporma nito kay migo.
Yuri Tadashi doesn't have any idea who is she talking to. "But anyways, how are you? I haven't seen you since at the party." anong ibigsabihin nito?
They met that night? Lumingon ito sakaniya tinignan siya mula ulo hanggang paa na tila tinitignan siya ng mabuti, what is she? A scanner now?
"You're that woman who ask for my boyfriend a hand to put the necklace on her? Wasn't that you? So, you're the girl? His girl? Oh, well.."
Malandi itong ngumiti. "Can I borrow your boyfriend for a while?" Aniya na tila ng hihiram siya ng ballpen sakaniya, mahina siyang tumawa at pinunasan ang bibig tska tumingin sa babae.
"What is he? A toy? Well, He is not a toy for you to borrow because he will never be a toy. My boyfriend will never be a toy or either be your toy." Aniya.
"Chill. I was just joking."
Joking? Ngumiwi siya. "Then your joke is not funny. I don't like the way you speak a joke. That's not funny and It is a shit. How dare you say that to my face? You're a cheap. I mean, what kind of woman would say a joke like that infront of a boyfriend? Tell me, you are flirting on my boyfriend?"
"Excuse me? I'm not cheap. It's not my fault you take my joke seriously even it's called a joke."
Matalim niya itong tinignan. "You're a insensitive woman. Don't you ever think thst joke is not funny. Every woman won't like it. Why, would you ever like if i ask you if i can barrow your boyfriend?"
"No!"
Tumaas kilay niya at seryoso itong tinignan. "See? Next time you think before saying a joke. because joking about that wasn't and will never be funny. Why? Because you can insult relationship with that. Like how you just got insulted." she smirks.
Nakita niya ang ngisi ni migo sa harapan niya. "Oh. Ladies, Ladies. We are in a fancy restaurant. So you, Ms. Tadashi. You better go off with your fiance. Tama ang girlfriend ko, baka maagaw siya sayo. Wag mo ako landiin kung ayaw mo naman na mawala sayo ang fiance mo."
"Whatever!"
Kumalipas ito ng alis sa sobrang inis at parehas silang tumawa ni migo sa mukha ni yuri. Nakakatawa naman kasi talaga. Her face was like this, matatawa ka nalang kasi takot siyang mawala ang fiance niya pero ang lakas niyang lumandi landi? Nakakita lang ng gwapo na mayaman lumalabas ang kalandian niya. Fuck that woman. She's never and will never be loyal with her love. Parehas lang naman sila ni rois. Ano namang bago na parehas silang malandi?
That was funny, hindi niya mapigilang matawa. "That two is really never been loyal. Kung saatin nanloko sila, ganun rin ang gagawin nila and to us. Funny, right baby?" Tumingin siya at tumango.
"They will always cheat. That's what they do. Kaya wala na talaga pagasa na mag bago sila. They keep repeating what they did to us, and again to us."
Hinawakan ni migo ang kamay niya. "I felt you do care for me saying to protect me by words. Thank you, I always appreciate everything from you. It keeps me in hand and keeps me happy whenever you're around me. Maybe that's why, I want yo be with you. Because you change me."
"Migo.."
nanatili ang kamay nito sakaniya. "I will prove that you're better off without him. That you could be better with me. Just give me a time and I will show you the world I have. Because this world, will be your world too. I want you to know all about me."
Maraming bagay na hindi niya pa talaga alam kay migo. Migo is a mysterious person who hold a lot of secrets about his life including this.. he owns a enterprises a comapny but he never show himself to that company even a just one day. He never did. Just few who know his face. Hindi siya nakilala maliban sa naging sekretarya duon. There was no ceo or anyone manage it before hunter came it was nothing just a secretsey na pupunta sa bahay niya o kukuhanin ni alfred trabaho so he can work at home. then hunter came to manage it for him, since he can't. New employees doesn't knows why.
But old employees knows why.
He got a trauma for his parents died infront of her and happened he was 7 years old. It was twenty years ago, ilang taon narin ang nakalipas when that accident happened sa harapan niya they were married at that company- no. Not exactly in there. It was one of their company, in the hotel. Where everything happened at kung bakit migo was always alone. He doesn't want to be friend with anyone. Magisa lang siya, he had nothing. His parents died in their own wedding day.
Shot by a snipe and they don't have any idea who. Naramdaman niya ang biyak sa puso nito, ayaw na niyang sabihin para hindi ito masaktan o mas masaktan. He keep hiding the truth.l
"I'll just go to the restroom, mauna ka na sa sasakyan?" Paalam nito. Tapos na sila sa lunch nila and balak nila na pumunta at hindi niya alam kung saan. "Hintayin na kita." Ngumiti siya habang naglalakad papuntang restroom.
She waited for him before a man came and naupo sa pwesto ni migo mas nakakagulat ng makita niya kung sino nga ba ang lalakeng nasa harapan niya ngayon, from head to toe ay sigurado naman siya.
"Hunter? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in Japan with Taffy?"
Imbis na sumagot ay tumingin lang ito sakaniya, nakatitig sakaniya kaya naman nagtaka siya lalo na ng hawakan nito ang kaniyang kamay sinubukan din nitong halikan siya dito pero napiglan iyon.
"Trigger, get off your fingers on my wife. Now!"
Tinignan si migo ng tinawag niting trigger, well. At his faces, mukhang hindi nga si hunter ang kaharap niya kundi ibang tao. Pero sino? She never know hunter had a twin brother? baka hindi lang nasabi?
does taffy even know? "Wife? Where's the ring?" Tanong nito habang tinitignan ang kaniyang kamay halos sapakin ni migo ang tinawag niyang trigger sa inis. "Trigger!" Hinila nito ang lalake palabas kaya siya ay sumunod na pinipigilan pa si migo.
This is it! Ito dahilan, lagi nalang siya nagagalit ng walang dahilan at naiinis na siya sa inaakto nito.
"You asshole. Ano bang ginagawa mo dito? Did you follow me? We're on the middle of our date!"
Trigger rolled his eyes. "You're the owner of NP. So you should be in the meeting, boards are asking for you and they have a lot of plans to the proposal."
"Proposal, migo what is he talking about?" Tanong niya at bumaling dito, "and kapatid mo si hunter?"
Nginitian siya nito at hindi nakasagot when another voice came in, "Trigger! I told you follow them and ask nicely, ano na naman ginawa mo?" another hunter? Wait wait. Are they triplets now?
naguguluhan na talaga siya! She thought they were twins. But how.. how this happened? Triplets?
Then another one came. "What the fuck is this?"
"Baby. This is trigger, this is rifle and this is bullet. Yes they are twins and technically they are quadruplets cousin of mine. Montessori's quadruplets. They have another brother that you shouldn't met, anyways. I'll bring you somewhere today. Come on? I want to introduce you to them."
Bumaling siya dito, "who?"
Ngumiti lang si migo sakaniya at hinatid sila ni allen sa isang building. She doesn't know what kind of place is it, basta it's a company. A company that, unknown.. to be exact. Hindi niya alam kung ano ito, but one thing for sure? This is a big company na minsan na nagsara at ngyaon binubuhay.
SHE stay put her foot walking to that building. Hindi niya alam kung anong klaseng kumpaniya ba ito? Ngayon lang siya naka-apak dito at hindi niya alam na may iba pa palang kumpaniya si migo? Or maybe this is not party of his business baka iba ito sa kumpaniya when she came in what she was was a logo, NPC. yun ang nakalagay na logo sa harapan, it was a huge one at sa ibaba nito tila umawang ang bibig niya habang nakatingin dito.
Naked Proposal Corp.
What? Naked Proposal, is real? Kunot noo na hindi alam kung anong sasabihin kay migo. She want to ask him, she want to ask a lot of question but she can't even speak a word. Basta! Hindi siya makaimik, hindi niya alam anong sasabihin niya.
Ano naman ang sasabihin niya? This, this company is unbelievable. What does naked proposal do anyways? Well. How does that even existed?
"Welcome to NPC, Vera." Yun ang unang bati ni migo saknaiya sa ngiti nito, she walk around and see if it's real. Yeah, totoo nga talaga. "This is real? I mean, this really existed?" Yun ang tanong niya.
He shrugged, "Yeah. Actually, this really existed. You remember the papers I gave you before?"
"Yes, the papers says Naked Proposal. I didn't even think that It really existed. I mean, akala ko you made it up as for our business. I didn't know.."
She cross her arms, "Did you own this company?" Tumango siya at hawak ang kamay niya na hinila siya sa pasikot ng buong gusali. It was big, huge company. No one knows about this company, no one knows about this? "This.. this is a company? a secret one? I mean, hindi ko kasi alam 'to?"
"Vera, Vera. Sweetheart.."
"Shut the fuck up and fuck yourself, Heil."
Tumawa lang siya at napailing, tumigil sila sa isang malaking pintuan saan nakaukit ang meeting room.
Yumakap sakaniya si Migo. "Go to my office, elevator will lead you to it. Pindutin mo isang may swivel chair na logo sa elevator. Papunta yun sa opisina ko, magkita nalang tayo 'ron? I have things to do pa. babalik rin naman ako agad."
"Okay. Antayin nalang kita sa itaas.." ngumiti siya at umalis na si migo tumuloy agad siya ng elevator patungo sa itaas and woah. It's really a nice view from it kitang kita ang pasikot ng lugar. the beautiful view or some cities was seeing there. Nakangiti siyang titig dito pumasok siya sa opisina nito and wow. It was a beautiful place, maliban sa isang bagay. Natanaw niya ang frame ni migo kasama si yuri. Para bang may tumusok sa puso niya, dinudurog siya ng paunti-unti.
Bakit ko 'to nararamdaman?
Umiling siya at binaba nalang iyon para hintayin si Migo na dumating. Tumayo siya and look around, thi is a big office too. may table and swivel chair. Tapos may sofa, napansin niya rin sa gilid may pintuan. It's seems hidden, pero napansin agad iyon ng mata niya ang pintuan sa gilid. Secret door?
ano kayang laman nun? Nagkibit balikat siya na huwag na itong pansinin at muling naupo, naiinip siya na lumabas siya then bumalik sa opisina then that seconds she didn't know someone get inside the office room at humawak ito sakaniya napasigaw siya. He just touched her from her waist!
"Hey, what are you doing here? How did a beautiful like you got here and alone? And who are you?"
Migo came with his cousins and friends at mukhang narinig nito ang sigaw niya, siguro nakaalyat na ito ng marinig ang sigaw niya. That wasn't loud that, na hanggang sa ibaba maririnig ang sigaw niya?
"What's happening here?" Iyon agad ang tanong ni migo ng makarating sa opisina at siya naman nakatingin sa lalake sa harapan niya. Tumalikod mula sakaniya ito, "Boss." Bati ng lalake kay migo.
Migo looks at her at bumaling sa lalake. "What did you do to my wife, Trevor?" His voice are pissed.
"I did nothing, I just thought she's alone.." lumapit siya kay migo sa likod nito dahil sa takot sa lalake. He look like a maniac earlier, way he asked her is really scary. "My wife is not alone, asshole. And who told you that you're allow to touch her? Akala mo ba hindi ko nakitang hawak mo siya sa baywang?"
"Sir—"
ngigigiliti ito sa galit. "Out or I'll fire you! Out!"
yumakap siya kay migo mula sa likod when the man came out hinawakan ni migo ang kamay niya at niyakap siya para kumalma siya ngayon, she want his hug. Pinakakalma siya ng yakap ni migo sakaniya, everytime that he hug her? It calms her.
"Hey, I'm here.." hinagod ni migo ang likuran niya para mas gumaan ang pakiramdam niya, she was terrified because of that guy who looks like maniac.
Ugh, scary? "Next time you see him again Vera, I'll say you step away. Dating drug addict yun we just gave him a chance to change but seems he wasn't. Kapag unulit yun, Migo you should fire him to bring him to a facility saan mas kailangan ang katulad niya." Ani trigger habang Umiling iling pa.
"Yeah, probably."
Bumuntong hininga itong maupo sa swivel chair niya. "We need to re-decorate this company. We start at the hall. Naked Proposal needs a decoration so client would come to see that we do business for good and we don't do things illegally ways. Don't you think? I mean, look. Our company looks mess."
Nakita niya na may nakita si migo, "Especially this." He wave the frame na kasama niya pa si yuri at ihagis ito papuntang basurahan. "Why there's a trash on my desk? That's not good for business."
"You have enterprises but you rather want to manage this old business we have than that?"
Tumango ito, "Yeah. What's wrong with that? Our company always reminds me of.. my parents. I can't and I think I will never forget what happened from the past, Cousins. You were there that time too. You saw it, what happened to me back then. I didn't want it but everything happened still question why?"
"Why would they kill my parents infront of me? Why would they kill them in their wedding day? Anong ginawa namin para sirain nila ang buhay namin? Anong kasalanan ang ginawa namin sakanila?"
Now, mas nararamdaman niya si migo kaya naman lumapit siya agad at yakapin si migo. He need a hug, kailangan niya ng mag cocomfort sakaniya sa oras na naalala niya ang parents niya paano sila nawala sa harapan niya pa mismo ngyari. Twenty years, he can't never get enough with that.
they left kaya naman naiwan sila umupo siya sa kandungan ng kasintahan at yumakap dito.
"Hey, don't think about that? Huwag mo isipin ang ngyari sa parents mo. They won't like you thinking all about that all the time. They might be in peace."
Tumingin si migo. "My parents are—" pinutol niya iyon agad. "Murdered in front of you, I know."
"I accidentally saw the tape of their wedding."
Yumuko ito, "I'm sorry. I didn't tell you. I'm still scared, takot akong sabihin sa iba ang totoo. Back then, my parents were judge of illegal needs. I know they don't, until now It was question to me."
Humaplos siya sa mukha nito, "You don't need to be sorry, I know and I understand. Past is still hunting you and you can't move out of that world. But I'm here, I'm always willing to help you out. Just let me know okay? Tell me whatever you need, I'll be here always and I will help you with that."
"Vera, do you have any idea how lucky bastard I am to be with you? I'm so lucky that I have you so please, wag ka ng sasama kay Rois kapag inalok ka niya. That bastard will always hurt you, hmm?"
Mahina siyang tumawa, "What? Ako? Sasama kay rois? No way. I rather stay up being a benefits with you than being with him, I mean.. don't get me wrong because our relationship are not real."
Na-guilty siya bigla sa sinabi niya she shouldn't saying that words. Baka masaktan niya si Migo but why? Wala naman talagang sila na dalawa.
They don't have a relationship, yumuko siya at hiyang hiya pero inilingon siya ni migo paharap at humawak sa pisngi hanggang sa maglapat ang kanilang labi. That kiss, namiss niya rin ang halik nito sakaniya. The way he kiss her was so gentle and sweet. She love the way he kissed her.
The way he claim her lips.
"Yes, our relationship are not real.." he paused at inilapat ang daliri sa mukha papunta sa kaniyang labi, that finger went inside of her mouth. "But I can make our relationship real, na mapapasaakin ka."
Anong.. anong ibig niyang sabihin? Anong ibig sabihin ng sinasabi nito? Hindi niya maintindihan.
"What are you saying?" Nagtatakang tanong niya sa lalake na nginitian naman siya, "You.. you'll be mine. And rois can't take you away from me. I want you to be officially mine, mine and mine..." he paused.
He claimed her lips and speak, "mine alone."
