Unspoken Truth

Chapter 8

Chapter 8

Orange light crept up the night sky, it was a sign of the beginning of another day. And each passing day I feel like there's something building inside me...an emotion I don't want to hold or feel.

It's six o'clock in the morning. I still have a flight at exactly ten in the morning. I need to attend an important meeting in Cebu.

I'm still thinking if I will go there alone...or should I take Hera with me?

"Damn, what am I thinking?" I hissed while pulling my hair.

Nawawala na yata ako sa katinuan. I'm not like this before. Wala akong pakielam sa ibang tao, especially when it comes to my employees. I don't care about them.

But with Hera? Why do I think about her? Why do I care about her? Why did her face keeps on popping up in my mind when I'm closing my eyes?

This passed few days, I've been feeling this kind of fuck up emotions for her. Why do I feel this? Sa ilang buwan namin magkasama ay ngayon ko lang napapagtanto ang bagay na ayokong maramdaman.

"I think I will lose my mind." I sighed. I looked again in the sky.

Light starts to conquer the sky. I closed my eyes to relax. Would I admit my feelings for her? Should I take the risk?

I sighed. But damn... I won't let myself fall for her. I have many responsibilities in my life. I can't keep her. I might sound scared but I am not. I just don't want complications in my life.

I opened my eyes and then I entered in my room. Inasikaso ko ang ginagawa kong report upang magpalipas ng oras.

I still have five remaining hours before the flight. I busied myself so that I won't think about Hera. Para iwaglit siya sa isip ko.

"I have a meeting in Cebu. Hindi ako makakapasok sa office." I texted her.

I waited for her message but she didn't reply.

I just want to inform her. Maybe she will search for me if ever that I didn't go to the office today. Maybe she will feel concerned. Napahawak ako sa ulo ko. Hindi siya mababalisa pag hindi niya ako nakita.

It was quarter to eight when someone called me. It's an unknown number. I know who he is. Alam kong si Hyron iyon.

Napakunot ang noo ko noong bumungad agad sa akin ang pagmumura sa kabilang linya.

"Let her go! She's fucking mine! I will be going to get her, by hook or by crook."

Ang ganda ng bungad niya sa umaga ko.

"I think it's better if you should greet me first before you fucking cursed at me in the morning," I said.

"I don't care! Galit ako sa pang-aagaw mo sa akin kay Hera. She's only mine."

Ang pisi ng pang-unawa ay naputol na.

"Damn you! Stop this fucking childish act, brother. I won't let her go, because she's mine. Got it? You can't fucking do anything about it."

Sa inis ko ay inasar ko pa siya. Kahit wala kaming relasyon ni Hera ay ipapalabas ko na meron. Because I'm so tired of this shit with my brother.

This is the fourth time that he called me just to say this shit. Over and over again. Isang Linggo na siyang mambubwisit sa akin.

"Damn you---"

Bago pa siya makapagsalita ulit ay pinutol ko na agad ang tawag.

Hindi ko pwedeng iwanan si Hera sa Maynila. I should take her to Cebu with me.
