One Night With This Monster

Chapter 14 ( Unexpected Meeting)

" Thanks Lisha." Pasasalamat ni Nico sa dalaga Ng iabot nito Ang report na pinagawa nya dito just 5 minutes. " Pero Hindi mo Naman kailangan madaliin. Next day pa Naman ito kailangan. " Sambit ni Nico habang binubuklat Ang mga papel na naka bind pa sa Isang white folder. " Ang sipag mo." Nakangiting papuri nito matapos isara Ang folder Ng macheck na Tama Ang mga ito.

" I want to change."

" Then why don't I accompany you to the salon. I know a good one." Suggest nya kaya nakatanggap sya Ng masamang tingin mula Kay Lisha. Nico pouted. " Nag suggest lang Naman." Bulong nito.

" Is beauty really needed?" Nakataas Ang kilay na tanong ni Lisha.

" Hindi Naman pero it's the reality Lisha. Even if you're good at your work. Someone who's more beautiful will appear someday. Their attention and your capability will be shadowed by that beauty. Kahit na sinasabi Ng iba that appearance that wasn't real dahil Hindi Naman personality Ang tinitingnan nila at the first. It's the outside appearance of that person."

" I'm now in a bad mood."

Mabilis na tumayo SI Nico sa pagka kaupo. " Lisha Naman. Sorry na." Paumanhin nito habang minamasahe sya. " I'm still mad. " Ayaw mag pigil na sambit Ng dalaga.

Nico stop Saka humarap sa dalaga. " Why don't I treat you to dinner in that Korean restaurant you mentioned before?" Suggest nito na tila nakaisip Ng magandang Plano.

Lisha eyebrows arched. " The deluxe menu?" Tanong nito.

" The deluxe menu cost so much. Could you save me for a little bit Lisha?"

" No.* Mariin na sagot nito. Nico sighed. " Fine." Napipilitan na sagot nito. " I should have not say those word." Bulong nito at nanghihinang napaupo.

Maaliwalas na Ang Mukha ni Lisha kaya nilapitan nya na Ang binata na tila nawalan Ng lakas. " Hey Nico, Umamin ka nga sakin. Are you gay?" Nagdududa na tanong nito.

" Who?"

" You. Gay?"

" Of Course not!" Mariin na tanggi nito Ng marealize Ang tanong Ng dalaga. " I like woman." Dugtong nito kaya tiningnan sya ni Lisha Ng Puno Ng pagdududa.

" I say I'm a man. Straight. I like women."

" Are you sure?" Nagdududa talagang tanong nya dahil medyo malambot kumilos SI Nico at masyado siyang madaldal.

" Lisha!"

" Hahaha sorry na. Ito Naman SI Nico. Pikon." Natatawang sambit nya Ng lumitaw Ang Galit na ekspresyon sa Mukha Ng binata. " Ginantihan lang kaya kita. " Dagdag niya at kino comfort ito.

Sa ganitong tagpo Sila Nakita ni Ezekiel.

" What is happening here?" Makapangyarihan Ang tono na tanong nito kaya Naman sabay na napatingin Ang dalawa sa kanya. Agad na tumalim Ang mga tingin nya Ng Makita Ang kamay ni Lisha na nasa balikat ni Nico.

They are just joking with each other pero iba Ang nakikita Ng mga mata ni Ezekiel.

" I don't like it." Wika nya at nilapitan Ang dalawa. " Nico, didn't I ordered you to finish the report for Mrs Lin?" Una niyang nilapitan SI Nico na nakatulala sa kanya.

" Ummm ." Napakamot ito sa ulo. " Boss Hindi ba next week pa Naman Yun?" Tanong nito dahil alam nya talagang next week pa yun eh. " Ahh right. Ngayon na Yun boss." Pagsang ayon nya Ng makita na nagbago Ang awra ni Ezekiel na nasa harapan nya. " Mabuti pa Gawin ko na Yun." Awkward nitong Sabi Saka nagmamadaling umalis.

Napaka seloso talaga Ng boss nya. Alam niya naman na napakaganda niyang lalaki pero kaibigan lang kaya Ang tingin nya Kay Lisha.

" Possessive." Bulong nya bago maglakad papunta sa elevator.

" May sinasabi ka ba Nico?" Napa tigil Ang binata sa paglalakad at gulat na napalingon. Anlayo nya na kaya sa boss nya at Kay Lisha. Paano pa nito narinig Yun?

Awkward syang tumawa Saka mariin na umiling. " Wala boss noh. Ano namang sasabihin ko?" Kunwari na lang ay natatawa sya sa nangyayari.

" Leave."

" Yes." Sagot nya at mabilis na sumakay sa elevator.

Ayaw niya pang mapunta sa impyerno noh. Demonyo kaya Ang boss nya mas gwapo lang ito sa kanya Ng kunti.

" And you." Para namang Hindi makahinga SI Lisha Ng sa kanya Naman bumaling Ang tingin ni Ezekiel.

Ewan nya ba pero nakakaramdam sya Ng Isang nakakatakot na awra na tila ba nakapaligid sa binata.

" Yes sir." Malambing na tanong nya. Tinatago Ang takot dahil sa mga titig nito.

She wants to change. Not her appearance of course since kapag binago niya Ang sarili nya. For sure Ezekiel would find who she is. Hindi maganda Ang suggestions ni Nico kanina. His judgemental.

She wants to change their relationship. Nakakalapit nga sya Kay Ezekiel as Lisha but her true identity was hated by Ezekiel. Ang tingnan nga lang ito. Halos patayin na sya Ng Buhay that's why she must change their relationship.

Change of Plan. If in the past she just wanted to pretend to be Lisha and make Ezekiel fall for her and marry her. Ngayon Ewan nya ba but she wants him to fall in love with him with the real her.

" Tell me. What are you talking about with Nico.?" Letisha gulped Ewan nga ba dahil kahit mukhang Galit Ang binata. Ang hot pa din nito sa paningin nya.

" He invited me to dinner sir." Agad na sagot nya at yumuko. Kung patuloy nyang sasalubungin Ang mga mata ni Ezekiel. Matutunaw talaga sya.

Yes, She wants to change there relationship pero Hindi Ngayon. She's not Letisha right now. She's just a weak secretary who can't stand the hot stared of Ezekiel. Kung pwede nya lang lapain ito at landiin sa kama eh Ng Hindi nya kailangan magtiis Ng ganito.

Ezekiel gulped when he saw Letisha bit her lips. Despite the huge glasses in Lisha's face that almost covered her whole face and pimples that can disgust everyone and the hair that seems to not get combed by a month. He still finds her attractive.

" Why?" Tanong ni Ezekiel na Ang kamay ay nasa balikat na ni Lisha na nanginginig na sa kilig. " Why?" Ulit na tanong nito in a more hoarse word.

Oh come on! Someone saved this man from me or I will really r***d him.

" Because he pissed me off." Kinakabahan na sagot niya Ng maramdaman Ang kanang kamay ni Ezekiel sa pisngi nya.

" Why did you pissed him off?"

" Umm. He said something." She gasped Ng lumapit Ang Mukha Ng binata sa kanya. Just a few centimeters away. " What did he say?" Ezekiel voice just became more hoarse as she remove Lisha eye glasses.

" What made you be upset with him?" Ulit na tanong nito at sinalubong Ang itim na mga mata ni Lisha ngunit Hindi maiwasan ni Ezekiel ang mapa kunot noo Ng tuluyang pagmasdan Ang dalaga.

She looks familiar.... No? To be exact. She looks like Letisha Arcon.

Now that he removed her glasses. He can finally see the real Lisha feature. It's all similar to Letisha.

Aside from the pimples. The hair. Glasses and skin tone. She looks like her.

Natigilan Ang binata Ng nya Ang itim na mga mata ni Lisha and the scene from the elevator seems to passed through her memory when she saw her with emerald eyes.

Is Letisha and you really just the same?

" Are you her?" Hindi napigilan ni Ezekiel ang sabihin Ang mga salitang Yun sa babaeng nasa kanyang harapan.

Lisha looks confused. " What her, sir?" Curious na tanong niya dahil may kakaiba siyang naramdaman sa tanong nito.

" Are you L--------------"

Sabay na napatingin Ang dalawa Ng makarinig Ng ingay malapit sa kanila.

" Sorry for the disturbing bro but I have good news but I guess bad news for you."

A man appeared with his familiar black hair and gray eyes.

Sa pagkapahiya ay itinulak sya ni Lisha at agad tinago Ang Mukha.

" Good morning sir." Pagbati ni Lisha sa kakarating lang na binata na nakatingin sa kanila Ng kakaiba. His lips might show a smile but his eyes was so empty that it's seems lifeless different from Ezekiel who was cold. Just cold but his eyes remain to have feelings not like this man who seems empty inside.

The man greets back and Lisha runs as fast as she can to get away from the embarrassment right now.

It was the 2nd time she sees this man at Ezekiel Office but she still doesn't know the fear and familiar feelings he felt towards this man.

What was his name again?

Bago tuluyang pumasok SI Lisha sa elevator. Muli siyang sumulyap to the guy who has gray eyes.

Is it Lucas?

She nodded Ng maalala Ang pangalan nito. " Now I know the fear feeling." She sighed. " He have the same name with An husband. That monster." She shook her head Ng maalala ulit ito. Ayaw nya na talaga itong maalala. That guy was a nightmare itself.

I should contact An soon. I feel something is wrong.

" I forget my glasses!" Biglang naalala nya ngunit huli na Ang lahat dahil nag sarado na Ang pinto Ng elevator. " Bakit kase Ang Sarap ni Ezekiel. nagiging makakalimutin tuloy ako."

In The Top Floor ( Ezekiel's Office)

" You have such a unique taste in Girls." Wika Ng binata pagpasok nila Ng office ni Ezekiel at nauna Ng maupo sa swivel chair kung saan nakaupo Ang CEO which is Ezekiel Stevan.

" You meet her before. What's with those word Lucas?" May iritasyon na tanong nya Saka kumuha Ng dalawang can of beer sa fridge at hinagis Ang Isa sa kaibigan.

" I'm in a good mood."

" Why?" He took a sip in the beer Saka nagdududa na tumingin Kay Lucas. Afterall he was the friend that is the most dangerous.

" I found her."

That simple sentence made the calm Ezekiel show anger.

" Lucas!!!!!!!!"

" Stop yelling bro. I'm not deaf." Awat nito.

" Where is she?"

" Why would I tell you?"

" She already has her own life. Come on Lucas, stop doing this." Ibinaba niya Ang beer sa mesa at nilapitan Ang kaibigan. " This is wrong." Giit nya.

The smile on Lucas' lip disappeared. " Stop doing this? This is wrong?" He laughed as if what he is hearing is just a bunch of nonsense.

" Aren't you the one who took her away from me? Now that I found her. You want what?"

" I do that because you've gone insane."

" And I will be really crazy. If you took her away from me again."

" Lucas. Where is she?" Ezekiel massage his forehead para bang sumasakit Ang ulo nya na kausapin Ang kaibigan.

Lucas stood up while shaking his head. " I told you. I won't let her go and I will make sure. She can't run away from me." Puno Ng kasiguraduhan na sambit nito.

Ezekiel sighed. " Can't run away? Are you planning to break her legs again? So she will just be stuck again with you or blind her this time so she won't even see others again." Hindi mapigilan ni Ezekiel ang pagtaas Ng boses. " Lucas, love and obsession are different. You must understand that."

" That wasn't a bad idea."

" Lucas!" Ezekiel brushed his hair up in frustration. " Did you just come here to tell me not to meddle again and let you do what you want? Do you think I will be scared?" Hindi nya na alam Ang gagawin.

" Yes, once you repeat what happened in the past. I will really pull the trigger of that gun and kill you."

" I should be the one saying that to you. I did it to save her before how could you say you love her when you're making her suffer."

" Now that I found her again. It won't matter because I won't let her go just like the past." His tone was cold as he said those words to Ezekiel.

" Your obsession was too much." Ezekiel Sighed at pinanood Ang kaibigan na maglakad papunta sa pinto.

Lucas come here to inform him na Ang taong matagal niya Ng tinatago ay nahanap na nito. It was also warning him that once he meedle again. He will really kill him.

Alam nyang nagsasabi ito Ng totoo. Afterall Lucas is the craziest of them all. A true psychopath. Killing for him was never new.

" Are you even taking your medicine?"

Napa tigil SI Lucas sa pagbukas Ng pinto at lumingon sa kaibigan na nadagdagan ata Ng 10 years Ang Buhay dahil sa pinag usapan nila.

" I am or I will really be crazy." Sagot nya at tuluyang lumabas Ng office nito.

So what if it was an obsession. As long as I can own her, everything doesn't matter. Even if he will taint his hand by blood even if he killed his dearest friend. It doesn't matter as long as he owned her. Nothing else matters.

" Lucas, Let me go." Pakiusap ni An sa binatang pinaka tatakutan nyang Makita ngunit Ang taong pinaka minamahal nya.

" Be nice. My wife. You don't want me mad." Malambing na sambit nito habang hinahaplos Ang Mukha ni An na nakagapos Ang kamay at binti sa bakal na nasa kama.

" Lucas, You're really a monster."

" It's alright. I can be a monster as long as I own you."

" I'm Human not your property."

" Then I make you my property so that you'll be mine."

" You're crazy."

" Yes. I am indeed crazy, that's why no matter what. You can't escape my dear wife."

Dinner Time-

Calling: Mom

" Guys, sagutin ko lang ah." Paalam nya sandali sa mga kasama na nag dinner kasama sya.

Natupad pa din Naman Ang dinner na pinangako ni Nico pero may kasama na silang iba. Natatakot daw kase ito eh pero Ewan ko ba kung paanong Ang kuripot na SI Nico na libre sa kanila Ng ganito. Ano ang kinatatakutan nito na pati Ang minahal nitong good looks at Pera ay naisantabi?

" Yes mom." Sinagot Nya Ang tawag Ng tuluyang makapasok sa restroom.

" Baby girl. Where are you?"

" HAL Yu." Sagot nya habang chineck sa salamin kung pangit pa din ba sya. " Why mom?" Curious na tanong nya.

" I'm also here malapit na sa inyo."

" Malapit samin? How do you know I'm here? At sa inyo? "

" Of Course with your fiance." Narinig niya Ang pag hagikhik Ng Ina sa kan

bilang linya. " Hindi mo Naman sinabi sakin na SI Ezekiel Stevan Pala Ang fiancee mo Kunwari ka pang hate mo sya." Kinikilig na sambit nito.

" Fiancee? Ezekiel ---------wait? What?"

" Nandito na ko. I greet your fiance first."

" Wait mom that was-----" before she could even finish her sentence the call ended.

What the hell?!

Agad siyang lumabas Ng restroom when she realize that she will be dead soon ngunit Ang naabutan nya paglabas Ng restroom Ang mas lalong pumatay sa kanya.

She's currently double dead right now.

Seeing her mother who she doesn't even tell his fiance's name and In Front of the fiancee that didn't even agree yet to marry her made her know that she's really dead.

I'm dead! How did this happen?!!!!!

" Hello Mr Ezekiel Stevan. I Am Amanda Arcon. Letisha Mother."

Can someone save me?!!!
