Seducing My Ex-Boyfriend (On-Hold)

26

HARRY'S POV
(Part 2)

"You're standing in my way, Architect." Mukhang nagulat pa siya at dali daling umupo sa 'di kalayuan galing sa pwesto ko. May bagong project ang kompanya at ka-partner namin ang Del Valle Construction Corp. Si Kazumi ang pinadala nila bilang Architect ng condominium. She's good kaya wala naman magiging problema.

Pagkatapos ng meeting ay kinulit akong kumain ni Kazumi, pero tinanggihan ko ito dahil pupuntahan ko pa si Psyche sa condo niya. Nanghihina pa raw siya at walang kasama. I sighed. Mabuti naman ang pakiramdam niya ng nakaraan pero ngayon ay palala nang palala. Sabi niya ay na-dengue lang daw siya.

"Thanks. Love you!" Narinig kong tugon ni Kazumi sa kausap niya sa cellphone.

Love you?

Maya maya pa ay may dumating na BMW at sumakay siya roon. Tinted ito pero alam kong lalaki ang nasa driver's seat.

Mag aaya kumain tapos may ka-i love you-han pa. I shook my head to remove my thoughts. Ano ba 'tong iniisip ko? Hindi ako nagseselos. 

"Are you getting close with your ex again?" Psyche asked suddenly. Nakonsensya ako bigla dahil oo ang sagot at hindi ko pa maipaliwanag ang mga nararamdaman ko. Nagtatalo palagi ang isip, puso at actions ko. 

"It's just for the work, babe." I smiled at her and caressed her hair. Binantayan ko siya at umalis din hours later dahil kailangan pa ako sa kompanya. Sakto namang nakita ko si Kazumi palabas ng Samgyup place at may kasamang lalaki. I wasn't able to recognize the guy since nakatalikod ito.

I absent mindedly rolled my eyes and emailed her. I pressured her to email the design in an hour. I didn't know what pushed me to do this. But I felt jealous. Damn, Harrison. Umayos ka.

"Obvious ba? Duh! Why did you call ba, ha?!" She sounded so drunk when I called her. She said to call her and me, being a confused man, called her.

There's a lot of pain in her voice, especially in what's she is saying. Pinapaasa ko nga ba siya?

From: Kazumi

Kapalit pslit ba ako?

I felt guilty when I read that. Kumirot ang puso ko dahil wala naman siyang kasalanan sa lahat ng ito. Sinaktan ko siya. I texted her to sleep and drink a glass of cold water to sober her up and to take care of herself.

It was too late when I realized that I sounded like a boyfriend worried about her drunk girlfriend. I shouldn't do that. How to undo these messages?

Maybe I should not give her false hopes. I should stop treating her like it would give her a chance. Psyche will also be hurt if she found out what I've done. Okay na 'yon at ayoko ng dagdagan pa ang mga kasalanan ko sakaniya.

Loyalty. Stick on that, Harrison.

I was busy with my job on Makati, where our new project site is located. Psyche paid me a visit during lunchtime and I did not expect that Kazumi will be visiting also. And to add to that, she even gave me a lunch box.
