Chapter 20

Dennise's POV

    "Loraine?" tanong ko nang maabutan ko pa si Loraine sa office at may ginagawa pa sa computer niya, "I don't pay you enough para mag-overtime, ba't di ka pa umuuwe?" biro ko at pumunta sa office ko at hinanap yung flashdrive na nakalimutan kong kunin kanina.

     Nginitian niya ako at tumayo atsaka inabot sa akin yung flashdrive na nakatago pala sa mga kumpol-kumpol na papel sa may table ko.
    "Thanks, you're the best," nginitian ko siya at kinuha yung flashdrive, "at umuwi ka na, don't overwork yourself, hm?" marahang utos ko sa kanya.
    "Uh, Ma'am?" pagpigil saken ni Loraine, "there's something you have to know," seryosong sabi niya. Kinabahan naman ako, dahil minsan lang maging ganito si Loraine, at ibig sabihin nito importanteng importante.
    "What? What is it?" tanong ko. She walked over her desk and I followed immediately.
    "I checked your emails before your appointment with Mr. Madden, right?" Loraine began and I nodded, listening intently on where this is going, "and there was this email, a blank e-mail from 'J', and I didn't tell you about it 'cause I thought it was just a spam or something, but then..." may pinindot siya sa computer at lumitaw ang isang email sa screen. Siningkit ko yung mga mata ko para basahin yung nasa screen.

    "J sent another one," she finished and gestured to the screen, "and this time it's not blank."

Binasa ko yung nasa screen. Dalawang salita lang ang nandoon pero sobrang takot na ang naramdaman ko.

    Hide your whore before I find her, Milly :)

    Yun lang at tumakbo na ako papuntang elevator. Hindi pa man ako nakakalabas ng elevator lumabas na yung iyak at galit na kanina ko pang pinipigilan sa lalamunan ko. But fear ate all of those in an instant; I'm not even scared for myself; I'm scared for Ros, for her family.

    What if I stil marry Carl? 

    Umalingawngaw ang tanong na yon sa utak ko. It's the right thing to do. That way, Ros won't be in danger. That way, I can protect her. That way ... I can suffer because It's all my fault in the first place.

    "OK lang magmahal, Thompson."

    This is not what I was supposed to tell her. Tangina, I like you? Gago ka ba Dennise? Sabi ko lumayo na diba? Ano to? How the fuck would you protect her now? Fuck, fuck!

    "Baket?" tanong niya at hinawakan ang mukha ko atsaka itiningala sa kanya, "ano pa? Meron ka pang hindi sinasabi saken," sabi niya. Nanlaki naman ang mata ko dahil sa sinabi niya; is she a mindreader or something?
    "Huh?" pasimple kong tanong na para bang di ko alam yung sinasabi niya at pinunasan yung mata ko at pisngi.
    "Dennise," mahinahon niyang pilit saken, tinignan niya ako ng parang hinihintay niya ang sagot ko.
    "I like you, I really really do," pag-amin ko ulet pero this time mas mahinahon, "but I can't be involved in your life anymore," sabi ko sa kanya at hinawakan ang pisngi niya, "my life is... complicated."
    "Psh, Thompson, lahat ng buhay naten komplikado," sabi naman niya at hinawi ang buhok ko habang nakangiti.
    "No, listen," I said, a bit unpatiently, "I-I... it's dangerous, OK? At hindi lang para sa'yo, for Darlene, Thea and Dan-dan, for your whole family!" medyo napataas ang boses ko kaya napaigkas ng kaunti si Ros, "and I don't want to do that to you, hindi ko kakayanin kapag nangyare yon," tears were already trickling down my cheek before I could even think of stopping it. Ros remained silent, her brows furrowed as though considering it.
