Loving Rago Ken Marquez

Chapter 19

While driving, I can feel my hands and feet getting cold. Ilang beses na din akong nagpakawala ng malalim na buntong hininga. My heart beats fast when I parked outside of the building. I got out from the car and walk towards the entrance.

Pinindot ko ang up button ng elevator at agad naman iyong sumara. Mahigpit akong humawak sa damit ko habang tumataas ang elevator.

Halos tibok ng puso ko na lang naririnig ko dahil sa sobrang lakas ng pagkabog non ngunit mas lumakas pa iyon nang tumigil at bumakas ang elevator sa mismong tapat ng penthouse ni Rago.

Lumabas ako ng elevator at tumayo sa tapat ng pinto. I rubbed both of my hands and sighed before pushing the doorbell. Halos dalawang minuto akong naghintay bago bumukas ang pinto.

"Bab– who are you?"

Gulat na gulat akong nakatingin sa babaeng bumukas ng pinto. She's looking at me like she's recognizing my face.

"J-Janila W-Wilson?" utal kong bigkas.

She smile. "Oh. You knew me."

Pilit akong ngumiti. "Of course. You're one of the famous Filipina models in New York who endorsed one of my favorite brand."

"Right. Uhm.. why are you here? Don't get me wrong. I'm sure hindi ka pumunta dito para sa'kin kasi I took a private ride going here so no one will know." then she look at me from head to toe. "Are you perhaps here for someone else?"

Mahina akong tumango. "I-I'm actually here for R-Rago."

"He's not here." niluwagan niya ang pagkakabukas ng pinto. "Come in. Dito mo na lang sa loob hintayin si Rago."

Nang tumalikod siya ay madali kong pinunasan ang luhang bigla na lang tumulo mula sa mata ko. Nginitian ko siya nang paupuin niya ako sa sofa. She offered me some drinks but I declined. Magkaharap lang kaming dalawa at tahimik na nakatungo lang ako.

"You are kinda familiar." biglang sabi niya na ikinatingin ko sa kanya. "I think I saw you somewhere..." her hand went her forehead.

Doon ko nakita ang isang magandang singsing sa kanyang daliri. A diamond ring huh?

"You noticed." kumurap kurap ako nang magsalita ulit siya at tumingin din sa singsing niya na tinitignan ko.

"Ah.. yeah. It looks beautiful."

She chuckled. "I know right. Nakakalungkot nga lang kasi hindi ko pwedeng ipakita sa lahat." she sadly look at me. "Hindi ko pwedeng ipakita ang magandang singsing na binigay ng fiance ko."

Natigilan ako. "F-fiance?"

"Yes. I have one. And this penthouse is his. It makes me sad because I can't tell the world that I have an amazing fiance because it will ruin my career."

Gusto kong maglupasay sa harapan niya dahil sa sakit na sumasakop sa loob ko. I can feel my heart tearing apart. Kahit naiiyak ay pinilit kong ngumiti.

"C-congratulations." nahihirapang lumunok ako at tumayo na. "I-I have to go." kunwari ay tinignan ko pambisig na relo. "May g-gagawin pa kasi ako, naalala ko lang ngayon."

Aalis na sana ako nang hawakan niya ang pulsuhan ko.

"I remembered you now. You're that girl on my fiance's phone."

Nanigas ako sa kinatatayuan ko bago humarap sa kanya. A smirk is visible on her face, gone the angel face.

"I'm no fool, Sariya Quervas." madiin niyang sabi. "You are my fiance's mistress." she chuckles. "Don't worry, I knew it all along. It was planned." she leaned in close to my face. "Parausan ka lang."

My tears flow into my cheeks. "No.. h-he l-likes–" napatigil ako at napahawak sa pingi ko na sinampal niya.

"Wake up, you slut!" she snapped her fingers. "He used you! I wasn't with him so he needs to get laid." she laughed. "Oh god you're so stupid! You wanna know the truth? He used you. It was all a plan."

Kinuyom ko ang kamao at tahimik na lumuluha habang nakikinig sa kanya.

"His parents and him had deal. They wanted him to give them a grandchild for him to get the company he worked hard for. They know I was away and my career will be ruined if I became pregnant pero pinilit pa rin nila si Rago na buntisin ako para mas mapadali ang pagkasal sa amin but I didn't agree with it. So he planned to find someone to fuck and give him a child to have the company."

Every words are like knives being stabbed on my heart.

"It was all a plan. No feelings, just lust. I'm here now so he'll dump you in no time."

Kahit nanghihina ay nagawa kong tumakbo papalabas ng penthouse ni Rago at pumasok sa elevator. Sumandal ako sa bakal na pader at humawak sa dibdib ko.

Hinaplos ko ang dibdib dahil sa sobrang sakit na nagmumula doon. My hands and legs are trembling when I got out from the elevator. Nang makarating ako sa tapat ng kotse ko ay doon na ako napaiyak ng sobra.

"W-why?" malakas akong humihikbi at binabalewala ang nasa paligid na tumitingin sa akin. "W-why me?"

"Sariya!"

Agad akong lumayo, "Get away from me!" sigaw ko kay Rago.

"Why are you crying?" he worriedly asked looking at my face.

I lifelessly chuckled, "Stop the act, Rago."

"What act? Anong bang pinagsasasabi mo? Why are you crying?"

"Shut the fuck up! Huwag mo akong lalapitan!" sigaw ko at umatras.

His eyes are in pain but I know his just faking it. "Ano na naman ba ang ginawa ko? I didn't even done a–"

Sinampal ko siya ng malakas na naging manhid na ang palad ko. "You know what? Congratulations."

"Congratulations, Rago. You planned it so well." pumapalakpak ako habang sinasabi iyon. "Thank you for making me your mistress."

Pumasok na ako sa kotse at umiiyak na nagdrive paalis. I look at the side mirror. He's still standing there, looking at my car with no emotion on his face.

Everyone's right about him. Sana nakinig na lang ako kay kuya.

'He's not called 'rock' for nothing, Sariya. He uses other people for his own good and feels nothing about it. Be careful, little sis.'

I made a mistake.

A really big mistake. And that's falling in love with that rock guy, Rago.
