Behind the Secret

Chapter 51: Ako na!

Athena's POV.

Kaka-discharge ko lang sa Hospital. Hinatid ako sa apartment ko nina bessy Justine, ang pinsan kong si Francis, si Rain and si Sir Chriss. Oh di ba, VIP lang ang peg ko.

Ewan ko ba kung bakit pa sumama ang dalawang ugok na yun, e pwede namang si bessy at ang pinsan ko lang ang maghahatid sakin. Psh. Talaga naman. Nakakapang-init ng ulo.

"Upo muna kayo," sabi ko at pina-upo sila sa couch. Kahit maliit lang ang apartment ko, kumpleto ako rito sa gamit.

Pero napansin ko na si Rain at Sir Chriss ay hindi umupo. Yung para bang pinagmamasdan nila ang buong paligid ng apartment. Parang may hinahanap, yung ganon.

"Coffee or juice?" I asked them.

"Juice akin," sabi ni bessy.

"Ako rin ate," sabi naman ni Francis. Pero ang dalawang to busy pa rin sa pag-oobserve sa buong paligid ng apartment ko. Seriously?

"Kayong dalawa, hindi pa ba kayo uupo? Kanina pa ako nahihilo sa kalalalad niyo," reklamo ko. Para kasi silang uod na galaw ng galaw. Dahil sa pagrereklamo ko, umupo na sila sa couch. Buti naman.

"Coffee or Juice?" Tanong ko sakanilang dalawa.

"Anything," sagot ni Chriss.

"Kahit ano," sagot naman ni Rain. I guess, juice na lang ang ibibigay ko sakanilang dalawa.

Chriss' POV.

We're still here at Athena's apartment. Kanina ko pa 'to pinagmamasdan. Kanina ko pa 'to inoobserbahan.

Masyadong maliit ang apartment for Athena, although we can say that she's only living here by herself but I don't think that this won't give Athena a healthy lifestyle. Tch.

"Ito na ang mga juice niyo. Apple Juice yan para kahit papaano mawala konti ang pagod niyo," sabi ni Athena. Kababalik niya lang galing kusina. She's holding a glass with juice. She even give it to us. Napakamaasikaso niya.

"Thanks bessy," "Thanks ate," Justine and Francis said.

"Thank you for this," Rain said and I saw him smiling to Athena and same with her. Kung hindi lang narito ang si Athena nasuntok ko na 'tong Rain na'to. Psh.

"Ehem. Tch!" I pretend to clear my throat. Medyo lumalagkit na naman ang tingin nilang dalawa. Psh. Sinamaan lang ako ng tingin ni Athena. Psh. Kapag ako, mad face siya pero kay Rain, smiling like there's no end. Psh. This is totally unfair.

"What?" Athena ask with her frowned face. Seriously? Ang taray niya kapag sakin. Psh.

"Tch. Naisip ko lang, bakit ang liit ng apartment mo?" I asked. Yeah. Malaki ang sinasahod ko sakanya so why did she not to buy a condo for herself? Gusto niyo malaman ang sweldo niya, well, Php. 50,000 a month. I don't know if it is enough for her but I think it is.

"Ano naman masama sa maliit kong apartment?"

"Hindi naman sa mali--"

"Brad, kakasabi mo lang kanina na maliit ang apartment niya," sumbat ni Rain. Tch. Konti na lang at masusuntok ko na'to.

I let a sigh first. Ganito ako kapag na-fru'frustrate ako. "Look, listen to me first. Having this kind of small apartment doesn't help you especially to your health. Hindi ka makakakilos ng maayos, even that electricfan na humahangin sa'yo. Do you think makakabuti yan sa kalusugan mo? For me, it's a no," I explained. I noticed that everyone's eyes are on me.

"I agreed on what he said," Justine said.

"Oo nga naman ate," even Francis Nicole.

"He has a point," Rain agreed too. See, ang talino ko talaga. Matalino talaga ako. Gwapo na at matalino pa. Walang kokontra ha. Ang kumontra, you are all dead.

"So, what do you think?" I asked.

"May point ka naman. Kaso saan ako hahanap ng condo?"

"Ako na!" "Ako na!" Sabay naming sabi ni Rain. Tch. Gaya-gaya.

Sofia's POV.

At Philippines...

I'm back! Sa wakas nakabalik nako ng Pilipinas. It's nice to be back. Do you miss me? Well I think you don't miss me. BUT, yes like B to the U and to the T, I miss Chriss so much. Like duh, ilang months din akong nawala. I went somewhere in US para sa business. Well let me say, good business siya kasi may kapalit ang business trip ko abroad kay Papa. What is it? Oh, let me keep it as a secret first. Don't be excited.

I get my phone in my bag. I receive a call from my dad. I answered it with a smile.

"Hi dad!" Bati ko sakanya.

"Anak. Are you in the airport already?" He asked.

"Uhuh!"

"I'll wait you here."

"Oh sure." I said and hung up the phone. Can't wait to make a deal with my dad.

"Ma'am tara na po," sabi ng driver namin. Ang tagal niyang dumating ha.

"Alam mo Manong, isa pang late mo, I will fire you even if my dad hired you," I said harshly. Like duh! Hate me all you want, I don't care.

"Sorry Ma'am kasi po ang tra---" I cut his words.

"So what if it is traffic? I don't care about your f*cking reason because it is f*cking unreasonable to me."

"S-Sorry Ma'am."

"Of course you should be sorry. Anyway, get my bags. Make sure na hindi yan madudumihan. That bags cost millions. Once na madumihan yan, you'll have to pay for it."

"O-Opo."

Inirapan ko lang siya. Bakit ba kasi ang tanda na ng mga drivers namin? Seriously? Even our maids sa bahay mga matatanda na. Tch.

I really hate them. Ang bagal nilang kumilos. Aish! Nang makasakay na ako ng kotse, I make sure na naka-high cool ang aircon. Super hot kasi. Hindi ako sanay mainitan.

And because matagal tagal din akong nawala, I dialled my bestfriend's number. Sino pa ba? Of course, Jacqueline.

In just 3 rings, sinagot niya agad ito...

"O-Oh m-my god girl! N-Nakabalik ka na?" She said.

"Ayusin mo nga ang pananalita mo," Pagtataray ko. The way she talk it sounds like she's doing something. This witch devil. "And for your information, Yes, nakabalik na ako," I added.

"A-Ah. O-Ouch! O-Okay. S-See you here at my bar."

She said and hung up. Seriously? She just hung me up? How dare she do that to me? Malalagot talaga sakin ang babaeng yun mamaya.
