An Eye of the Cosa Nostra (Tres Patroncitas #1)

CAPITULO 36

HELLIXIR WAGON

Dumating na ang annulment papers mula sa supreme court na nirequest ko, I was just staring at it while it was waiting for my signature, pero... gusto kong masulit ang nalalabi kong mga oras kasama si Faughn kaya naman bago ko to pirmahan ay magkasama kami muli ni Faughn, kahit isang linggo lang, isang araw o kahit sampung minuto.

Nasa tapat ako ng kaniyang opisina ngayon, her secretary told me that I can just go inside, Izera's not his secretary anymore because he doesn't want to stress Izera out, I was thinking kung ako kaya ang nasa posisyon ni Izera, would he do the same thing for me?

Simula nang malaman ko na may cancer ako ay natatakot na akong pumikit, I was overthinking it would be my last, I overthink everything, na baka bukas ay mamamatay na ako, na baka bukas I had to say goodbye to everyone I had once in my life, every tear from my eye is a sign that I'm still alive but it was also a sign that I'm sad.

Simula rin nang malaman ko na may cancer ako ay nagsimula na akong ibigay sa mga pinagkakatiwalaan kong tao ang mga bagay na maiiwan ko, ang kumpanya ay nakapangalan na kay Tifanie, ang village ay nakapangalan kay Ely, ang mansyon ay ipinangalan ko na kay Lawless, ang iba naman ay ibibigay ko sa mga miyembro ko, ang organisasyon ay si Tifanie na ang maghahawak, at ang aking mga hospital ay kay Isaiah nakapangalan, ang mga law firm ko ay kay Atty. Gomez ko naman ipinangalan, lahat ay planado na ngunit hindi ko pa sinasabi sa kanila dahil gusto kong malaman lang nila kung kailan wala na ako.

Ely wasn't here but I know, she deserves anything from me.

Pinunasan ko ang aking luha bago kumatok at narinig kong sumigaw si Faughn, "Come in!"

Unti unti kong binuksan ang pinto at sumalubong sa akin si Faughn na nakaupo sa kaniyang swivel chair habang may suot na glasses at nagbabasa ng isang dokumento.

"I told you to cancel all my meetings." Bigkas niya nang pumasok ako.

"U-Uhm.."

Napaangat siya nang tingin bigla, "R-Rhyle?!"

Lumakad siya at hinubad ang glasses, "What are you doing here? Is there something wrong?"

Tumingin ako sa kaniya at umiling, "Walang problema but can we talk?"

Pinaupo niya ako sa kaniyang couch at siya naman ay nasa harapan ko, "What are we going to talk about?"

I smiled and I reached for his hand, I stopped the urge to cry, "I... wanted to be with you."

His lips parted, "We're always together, in my mansion."

Umiling ako, "That's not what I meant."

Kumunot ang noo niya, "Give me one week to be with you, just you, only you. Magsama tayo sa isang lugar na tayong dalawa lang." Sambit ko.

"We can stay in my condo even just for a week."

I smiled and I hugged him, "Thank you! Promise! I will make it worth it!"

"What is that for, anyway?" He asked me at humiwalay ako sa yakap.

I want to make everything worthy before I die.

"I... I just want to be with you before the annulment."

Napatayo siya nang biglaan na ikinagulat ko, "Divorce? Did I agree with that? Rhyle, I don't remember agreeing with that goddamn document."

I pursed my lips, "You have to get married with Izera, that's what you've always wanted."

He bit his lower lip and throw a glance at me, "R-Rhyle... No, noon pa 'yun..."
