Hold Me Tight ( embracing )

Kakauwi ko lang galing sa sideline kong trabaho as a waitress. I was so tired and exhausted that time. I opened the door and saw a pair of heels that isn't mine. The maid saw me walk in and I looked at her and said.. " manang kanino po itong heels? wala naman po akong gantong heels ah". " Ahh ma'am ano po kasi eh-". Before she could finish her words I go upstairs and checked our room. I slowly open the door and saw Jake and his secretary Mary was on top of him riding and screaming his name. I cover my mouth as tears roll down my cheeks. Jake noticed my shadow and immediately got up, while I immediately go downstairs crying. "Lina!! wait!! he said. He managed to grabbed my wrist. "What do you want Jake???!" I scream at his face. "Lina....". he said. " "Ba't ang hirap mong mahalin Jake! ginawa ko naman lahat ah! Jake naman! pagod na pagod na'kong mahalin ka! tiniis ko lahat!". I scream at him while crying. "Lina, I can explain-". "Explain what Jake?!!?? explain what!!? I fcking saw everything. You were f*****g your secretary!!". He slapped me hard across the face. " Don't you dare say that". I held my cheek crying. " I'm so done with this love. Let's end this fcking arrange marriage". I said and left the house crying. The next day, I slept to my best friend's house. Yuna let me eat first before I leaved and after that I immediately file a divorce paper on my lawyer. I got home to grabbed my things, not looking at him sitting on the couch. I go to my room and started packing my things up but suddenly I felt like I wanna throw up. Pumunta agad ako sa Cr at put my face directly into the sink at sumuka ng sumuka pagkatapos tinuloy ko na ang pag iimpake ko. I removed my wedding ring and placed it on my bed side table and go downstairs. I saw him looking at me. " Itutuloy mo talaga?. Huwag mo sanang pagsisihan yang decision mo, Lina. I know you're going back and crawl to me again" he said. I ignore his words and leave the house. Weeks passed by, I noticed something weird to me. I kept throwing up, I don't feel like doing something. Para bang sobrang bigat ng katawan ko. Then I remembered when me and Jake had a s*x last month when he was drunk. I immediately got my wallet and go to the pharmacy to buy some pregnancy test. After I bought it, I got back to my apartment and immediately test myself. After a few minutes, the test came positive. I cover my mouth with my hand and tears roll down my cheeks. I quickly call Yuna to come to my apartment. After an hour, I heard a knock on my door. I slowly open it to check who is it and saw Yuna. " hey anong nangyari?". she said. I let her go in first and we sat onto the couch. " Lina, tell me. anong nangyari ba't iyak ka ng iyak? dahil ba kay Jake na naman? Lina naman, ikaw yung nakipag hiwalay. And that's good. Pero-". before she can finished her words I took out the pregnancy test. "Lina......a-alam n'ya ba toh????!" i shaked my head. " Ngayon ko lang nalaman na buntis ako Yuna.....ngayon lang...." I said. " Paano yan??? paano mo bubuhayin yung bata??? kaya mo ba??? tutulungan kita. Nasabi mo na ba yan kila tita at tito?". pagaalala n'yan sabi sa'kin. " Hindi pa. tsaka ko na sasabihin 'pag balik nila galing states". We talked for hours until the sunsets and Yuna decided to go home. I cooked my dinner and looked at my belly. Realizing na dala dala ko ang anak ni Jake Montessori. Kinabukasan, sinumulan mo ng maghanap ng bagong trabaho since umalis sa ako part time job kona yun. May nakita akong hiring na empleyado sa isang coffee shop at sinubukan kong mag apply don. I talk to an employee and said I need to wait for their manager so I waited. Maka lipas ang ilang minuto lumabas na ang manager. " Hi, I'm miss Angelina Perez, manager of this coffee shop. You said you wanted to apply?. " she asked. " Ahh yes po, I wanted to apply po as a cashier". I answered . " Good, can I have your resume please?". I immediately handed to her my resume. " Ahhh ito po". The manager took my resume she looked at it and study it. " Hmm, interesting. Okay, you're hired. Since we really need a cashier right now. You can start today". " Talaga po????, maraming salamat po ma'am!!!". The manager got up and get my uniform and handle it to me and I started my job as a cashier. Ilang araw ang naka lipas okay naman yung trabaho ko. Naging close ko agad yung mga employees lalo na yung manager. Isang araw the manager told me nabibisita daw yung may ari ng coffee shop. I'm curious about since hindi ko pa nakikita yung may ari neto at bago lang naman ako dito. 'sino kaya yung manager ng coffee shop natoh. Sobrang swerte naman non lalo na't napaka lakas ng coffee shop natoh.' The next day, I woke up late. I checked my phone at hindi ko pala na on yung alarm ko. Dali dali na akong kumilos para pumasok sa trabaho. Naka pasok naman ako sa trabaho on time, nilapitan ako ni ma'am Angelina. " Oh Lina, akala ko malalate kana, buti wala pa si sir Mark ayy na'ko talaga". " Sorry po, hindi ko po pala kasi na on yung alarm ko kaya medyo na late po ako ng gising". sabi ko naman sakanya. " Oh s'ya may aasikasuhin lang ako ha, dadating na daw si sir maya maya, maiwan muna kita". iniwan n'ya na'ko sa counter. Ilang minuto lang naka lipas, may lalaking pumasok sa loob. Matangkad ito, naka white na polo, maputi, matangos ilong at higit sa lahat chinito. 'sino toh? apaka gwapo naman netong lalaking toh. Halatang may delikadesa sa katawan. Napaka linis manamit'. pagsabi ko sa aking sarili. " Can I get a one cup of creamy latte with almond milk". he asked. "Ahh sure po sir, your order will take on few minutes po. You could take a sit and make yourself comfortable po sir while waiting for your order po". Tumango ang lalaki at umupo sa isang sulok ng lamesa. I noticed that he kept looking at me but I ignored it. Then he approach me and said " Are you new here?". he asked. " Ah yes po, bago lang po ako. bakit po?". I answered . "Nothing, you're just not familiar to me. what's your name?". " ahh Lina po, Lina Dela Cruz ". "Nice name." I looked at him shyly and handed him his coffee. Miss Angelina approach us. and said. " Good morning po sir Mark". I looked at the guy and realized na siya pala ang may ari ng coffee shop natoh. " g-good morning po pala sir". pagbati ko sakanya. He greeted me and left the coffee shop without saying another word. "Ma'am ba't parang ang sungit ni sir Mark?". pagtatanong ko kay miss Perez. "Ahhh, ganun talaga yun. Buti nga hindi mainit ulo nun ngayon eh madalas kasi pumunpunta dito yun mainit ulo." pagsagot n'ya sa'kin at tumango lang ako. " Oh sya maiwan muna ulit kita at marami pa akong aasikasuhin". Tumango lang ulit ako at nag focus sa bagong costumer na pumasok. Months passed by, I was doing great at my job. Sir Mark was often visit the coffee shop. "Hey". " Ah sir Mark, your usual order po?". I asked. "Yeah, take your time, I'll wait". Minutes passed by and I gave him his coffee. " Thanks Lina." " Sir may I ask po? what's your full name po? since I've been working here over the the past three months na po, 'di ko pa rin po alam. buong pangalan n'yo". " Mark Kyle Montessori Jr. That's my full name." I froze in shock and my body couldn't move. I just looked at him. ' Montessori??? ' I said to myself and realize he was the younger brother of Jake Montessori. My ex-husband.
