"Good afternoon, Ma'am," I greeted in almost formal yet in polite way.
"Have a seat," Mrs. Cattaneo said and gestured her hand to the seat across to hers."Pwede po ba akong magtanong kung ano iyong pag-uusapan natin?"She just smiled, totally ignored my question. She then softly pushed the menu to my side using her middle and forefinger. "Have yourself something to eat or drink first.""Uh, busog pa po ako sa pagkaing ibinigay niyo kanina." Magalang kong pagtanggi at medyo ilang na ngumiti. "At salamat po pala sa pagbigay no'n Mrs. Cattaneo, hindi ko nagawang magpasalamat kanina kaya sasamantalahin ko ang pagkakataon para magpasalamat sa inyo ngayon."She just nodded and sipped from her drink. The moment she putted the cup back to the table, I feel like my mind was gone haywired.Mrs. Cattaneo looked at me as if magnifying my flaws and my heart skipped a beat after hearing her question. "You're my son's girlfriend?"I nKaugnay na kabanata

I hastily wiped my unending tears. My lips trembled and a sob escaped my lips. I was never a gold-digger... and the thought of taking advantage of Rafus' riches never ever crossed my mind.Why do they have to be this cruel? Just because my social standing differs from Rafus, doesn't mean I'm only chasing after his money. Why does people view this that way? This society is goddamn fucked up!Mugto ang mga mata ko nang bumalik ako sa pagtatrabaho. Nawalan ako ng paki sa estado ko ngayon matapos marinig ang mga salita ni Mrs. Cattaneo kanina. Oo, nirerespeto ko siya, pero sobra naman ata ang pagtingin niya sa akin. Nanliliit ako at kahit gusto kong ipagtanggol ang sarili ko ay hindi ko nagawa dahil nalunod ako sa sinabi niya.I ended my shift earlier and rushed to Tito Edison's house for confirmation about our land being purchased by the Cattaneo's."Oo, Slaine. Ibinenta ng Nanay at Tatay mo 'yong lupa niyo bago pa man sila pumasya na doon na manirah

"Ma'am Slaine, nandito na po ang delivery ng mga stocks." Imporma sa akin ni Krizza nang makapasok siya sa opisina ko."Sige, susunod ako." Simple kong sagot at pinatay ang laptop bago lumabas ng opisina.Naabutan ko na nagdidiskarga ng mga box ang tauhan ko at ang nagdeliver. Binati nila ako at tipid na ngiti ang iginawad ko sa kanila."Sandali lang, huwag mo munang ipasok sa loob, Leo." Pagpigil ko sa empleyado at tumango siya sa akin bago ilapag ang box.I opened the boxes easily with the cutter I'm holding. Isinuri ko ang isa sa produkto sa kada kahon at nang makontento na ay pinahintulutan ko iyong ipasok sa café."Ma'am, pakipirma nalang po nito." Tinanggap ko ang papel na inabot at pinirmahan.Hinintay ko munang maubos ang mga kahon bago ko binalik ang papel sa driver at nag-abot ng isang libo bilang tip para sa kanila. They extended their gratitude, and I gave them a sweet smile before returning to my office to continue m

"Slaine, are you okay?" I came back to consciousness when Crezst tapped my shoulders.I saw Rafus' eyes were on me and every seconds had passed, my nervousness doubled. I drank all the wine that has left in my glass before nodding at her question."Yeah, I'm okay."I simply glance at Rafus for the second time but I think it's a very wrong move because I meet his eyes again. Sa akin siya nakatingin kahit may kausap siyang businessman.Tamang tama ang pagdaan ng waiter sa table namin kaya napakuha ako ng dalawang wine glass na may laman at nagpa-refill ng wine sa basong ginamit ko kanina.Natawa si Crezst's sa tabi ko, "Hindi ka ba makapaghintay sa after-party?"Umiling ako at napasimsim sa wine, "Hindi na siguro, medyo pagod pa kasi ako sa byahe papunta rito kanina.""I thought you had your beauty rest earlier?" Helen asked me worriedly."Matapos mong umalis kanina sa hotel room ko, napagpasyahan kong pumunta sa

"Damn baby," he hissed and my breathing hitched when he rushed towards me. With his drunk eyes and using his husky voice, he said these words. "Drop the formalities, it's making me horny."I felt feverish when he cupped my cheeks, so I gave all my might and pushed him. Hinila ko siya hanggang sa makarating kami sa labas ng hotel room ko, alam ko naman kung gugustuhin niya hindi siya magpapahila sa akin."Don't baby me, Mr. Cattaneo. Our business was done four years ago, I don't have hang ups with you so please as ex, respect my decision and I don't want to be affiliated with you nor any of your family."Agad akong nakaramdam ng konsensiya nang makita ang malamlam niyang mata. Napaiwas ako ng tingin at nakaramdam ako ang pananuyo ng lalamunan. The memories of him begging to me to take him back resurfaced on my mind."Please Rafus..." I desperately said. "Just go and leave me alone.""No, not gonna happen." He said as if it's irrevocable. H

"Chan baby," I said and leveled my height to him as I gained consciousness. I cupped his face and smile to hide my awkwardness. "How did you know I'm home?"Chan smiled, "I've been waiting for you Mama then I saw you got out from the car so I've rushed towards here."Nakakapanibago dahil Mama talaga ang tawag ni Chan sa akin. I'm used of him calling me Tita, so I kinda feel confused. Tumayo na ako at nilingon si Rafus. Tahimik parin siya habang seryoso ang tingin sa amin ni Chan.Naglakad ako papalapit at kinuha sa kaniya ang duffel bag ko. I held his hand and stared into his eyes."Again, thank you so much for the ride Rafus."Hindi ko na hinintay ang tugon niya at tumalikod na ako habang inaakay si Chan papasok ng bahay."Shey, ano ba ang itinuturo mo kay Chan?" Tanong ko kay Shey nang tuluyan akong makababa sa hagdanan.Kanina ay hindi ko siya magawang tanungin dahil hindi umaalis sa kandungan ko si Chan at ngayon lan

I paid the driver a yellow bill and didn't wait for my change. Lumabas ako ng sasakyan dala-dala ang dalawang duffel bag. Hindi naman siguro ako mukhang haggard mula sa flight dahil malaki ang tiwala ko sa simpleng make-up na inilagay ko sa mukha.I'm wearing a matching plaid trouser and blazer, a black tube top, then white shoes. This is often my office attire, and I never got any complain from my fellow workmates or from Mr. Sorrento.Hindi ako pinigilan ng security guard nang basta-basta akong pumasok. Sa dalawang taon ko ba namang pagtatrabaho dito sa incorporated ay hindi nila ako nakilala."Ms. Aranza!" Gulat na bungad ng receptionist. "Naparito po kayo?"Tipid akong ngumiti, "May problema lang sa resignation ko. Uhm—pwede bang maiwan ko muna dito sa ground floor ang mga duffel bag ko?""Uh sige po," nakangiti niyang tugon at sumenyas sa security guard kaya madaling naipasok sa loob ang workplace ng receptionist ang bags ko.

"What are you doing here?" My brows furrow and my blood starts to boil. He didn't answer, he just remain there, standing while looking calm and collected.I took a deep breath and almost rolled my eyes on him. Kinuha ko ang grocery bags na nakalapag at binuksan ang pinto ng apartment ko saka bastang pumasok pero bago ko pa iyon maisara, pinigilan iyon ng malakas na kamay."Ano ba'ng problema mo?" Pinigilan ko ang sarili na huwag siyang pagtaasan ng boses.Titig na titig siya mga mata ko at hindi ko magawang umiwas. I can see exhaustion, pain, and longing in his eyes. In a snap, he invited himself in. He took the grocery bags from my hold and shamelessly walked towards my kitchen."Seriously, Rafus? What are you trying to do? Why are you doing this?" I followed him to my kitchen and took the grocery bag to place it on my countertop.I was taken a back when he wrapped his arms around my waist and buried his head between my neck and shoulder

I blink couple of times before slowly opening my eyes to adjust to the light that passes through the slightly open curtain.I groaned as I felt pain in my head like it's been hammered multiple times. I travelled my eyes to the whole room and fear starting creeping in my system.This is not my room!I touched my body and that's when I finally felt at ease. Thank God I'm still fully-clothed.I spend few moments of ransacking my head to find answer why I'm here in someone's room, but I only remember that I'm with Ma'am Claireen in the club last night!Before I could finally recognize the familiar scent that fills in the whole room, the door push open and a man step in, making my jaw drop in shock and confusion."Oh, you're awake now..." He calmly said and I got distracted by the sweats dripping from his forehead.I cleared my throat, "Where am I? And why I am here with you?"Mariin siyang napatingin sa akin at doon
