Deeper Than A Deal (Yana Echavez) GXG ✔

Chapter 35

Yana Echavez

The Classy And Brew Lounge

Hawak ko ang baso na may lamang brandy, pagkatapos ng bangayan namin ni Jean kaninang umaga ay pumunta ako rito sa bar bandang alas syete ng gabi.

Nandito ako ngayon sa office ko habang nakaupo dito sa sofa. Nagpapakalunod ako sa kalungkutan, sumandal ako saka pumikit. Inaalala ko ang magandang mukha ni Lucienne.

Pero napamulat ako nang may kumatok sa pinto. Umayos ako ng upo at napatingin roon, sumilip ang isang staff. "Ma'am Yana, may naghahanap po sa inyo."

"Who?"

"Si Miss Divine po."

Tumango ako. "Let her in."

"Sige po, Ma'am."

After a few moments, Divine entered the room.

She had been coming to this bar twice a week, whether I was here or not. The staff would inform me, so I expected her visit tonight.

"Hi Yana." she greeted with a smile. She placed her bag on top of my desk and sat next to me. "....did you find her?"

Umiling ako. "I asked some people to investigate kung nasaan si Lucienne. But nothing has been found."

Tumango-tango siya. "Maybe she was with someone else, that's why she doesn't want to show up."

Hindi ako sumagot sa sinabi niya bagkus tumayo ako at kumuha ng malinis na baso sa estante saka ko sinalinan ng alak, inabot ko sa kanya. Hindi niya tinanggihan ang alok ko na uminom, sinabayan niya ako.

"I have already offered five million to anyone who can tell me where Lucienne is. Pero dalawang buwan na ang lumipas, and no one has had the courage to claim the reward and tell me where she is."

"That's a big amount. You really love her. It's generous of you to offer that."

"Why not?" Sinulyapan ko siya pero saglit lang, inilipat ko ang atensyon ko sa basong hawak ko. Habang nakatitig ako sa kulay amber na laman ng baso ay lumitaw sa imahinasyon ko ang mukha ni Lucienne. "....I need to find her, Divine. Hindi pa tapos ang deal namin ni Lucienne."

Halata ang pagtataka sa mukha niya dahil sa sinabi ko."What do you mean?"

"Everything was a lie."

"A lie?" ulit niya.

"We're not a real couple. She was my pretend wife."

"What?" bahagyang napa-awang ang bibig niya.

"But I guess she fell in love with me. The thing is, I just used her to fulfill my grandmother's dying wish for me to get married."

Kinuha ko ang contrata namin ni Lucienne dito sa drawer ng desk ko at ibinigay sa kanya.

"So it's true." manghang saad niya nang mabasa ang laman ng kontratang pinirmahan namin ni Lucienne at may pirma rin iyon ng abogado bilang authenticity. Naroon lahat ng kasunduan namin, at ang makakapawalang bisa lang ng kontrata ay ang pagkamatay ng lola ko.

"Do you think I'm lying?" tinitigan ko siya sa mga mata. "...isang araw lang ang pagitan nang pagkawala niya at pagkamatay ng lola ko. So the contract between us has already terminated. The problem is, our marriage was real, and I need her to sign the divorce papers so I can be free."

Napatitig ulit si Divine sa hawak niyang kontrata.

"....look, I'm still funding her account. Hanggat hindi kami nadi-divorce tuloy ang pagbibigay ko ng pera sa account niya."

"Oh that bitch, so she wants your money! You believe me now? Manloloko talaga si Lucienne."

Ininom niya ang laman ng baso niya, sinalinan ko ulit iyon ng alak. At nilagyan ng isang cube ng yelo.

Inubos ko ang laman ng baso ko saka ako muling nagsalin ng alak. Lasing na ata ako, mainit na ang buong katawan ko.

"Divine..."

"Yes?"

Huminga muna ako ng malalim bago magsalita. "I was wondering if... if you could help me find out where she is. I want her to sign the divorce papers as soon as possible."

Tila kumislap ang mga mata ni Divine.

"You don't have to worry that much, Yana. I will help you find her." Lumapit siya sa akin, umupo siya dito sa tabi ko.

"I don't know how I'm ever going to thank you, Divine. You're always there for me. Pumupunta ka raw dito kahit wala ako."

"Shush." Idinampi niya ang daliri niya sa bibig ko. ".....I was worried about you. I thought maybe you needed someone to talk to, that's why I made an effort to come here."

Next thing that happened, she kissed me passionately.

"Divine, why did you kiss me?" I said after the kiss. She pulled back for a moment, her breathing heavy.

"I-I've wanted to kiss you since the first time we bumped into each other at the gym. I like you, Yana. And you don't deserve someone like Lucienne. She's a user."

She caressed my cheek and kissed me again. When our lips separated, she took a deep breath. Her breathing was heavy, then she smiled. "...forget about her. I can be a better wife for you."

"Pero ano namang magugustuhan mo sa akin, Divine."

"Hm." Ngumiti siya, ilang beses niyang hinaplos ang braso ko. "....I don't know, I just like the way you are." Patuloy ang pang-aakit ni Divine sa akin. She pressed her chest against my arm. She held my hand at dinala ito sa legs niya, pero agad ko ring binawi ang kamay ko at tumayo. May kinuha ulit akong papel dito sa desk ko.

"I want to divorce Lucienne first, mas mabuting gawin natin 'to ng tama, Divine." Inabot ko sa kanya ang divorce papers. "....help me find her."

"Of course." sagot niya at saka kinuha ang mga papel sa kamay ko.
