The CEO's Wife

Chapter 19

Ash POV:

I was drinking my coffee in the terrace when my phone suddenly rangs.

*It's a call from Ian*

"Hello?"

"Sir, nahanap ko na po ang Birth Certificate ni Miss Sam.. And it was confirmed that she's not adopted. Her NSO is original."-paliwanag niya and I suddenly doubt about it.

"Did you check the Hospital where she was born? The Birth Place, and the doctor who delivered her?"

"Not yet, Sir.. But... I heard, that the Doctor also passed away last year. Kaya mahihirapan tayo dito."

"Just keep going. And call me again if you got one."

"Yes, Sir!"-sagot niya at ibinaba ko na lang ang tawag.

There's something that bothers my mind everytime. Or maybe she's not Amira. Amira's height is 159cm while Sam's height is 165cm. The height might change but the Birth mark. Biglang may naalala akong palatandaan kay Amira. She has that birth mark below her neck. Malalaman lamang yun kung ipakikita ni Sam mismo samin. Impossible!

Bigla akong natigilan nang makita kong pumasok si Justin. He's no longer using his wheelchair. Gumaling na ang mga paa niya yesterday at di ko maibsan ang tuwa.

"What's the matter?"-tanong ko habang nakasimangot pa rin siya. Ever since Doc Sam didn't appear. Justin lost his happiness. I can't afford to see him with a sad face. Damn!

"[When are we going to visit, Mom?]"-bigla siyang sumulat at umupo sa ibabaw ng hita ko.

"Why are you looking for your Mom? Did you missed her after 2 years?"-tanong ko habang pinapanood siyang magsulat. I can relate to him by missing his mom. Di ko inaakalang di pa niya nalilimutan ang mama niya.

"[Yes, I missed Mom. But sadly, she is busy at Hospital.]" Biglang napakunot ang noo ko sa mga sinasabi niya. Sino ba ang tinutukoy niya? Is it Sam?

"You mean... si Doc Sam?"-paglilinaw ko at tumango naman ito. Goodness.. Kailan pa siya natutong tawaging Mommy ang di niya tunay na Ina?

"Call her Doc Sam, Justin... I'm not sure when she's gonna finish her duty. As long as she's in the Hospital, you cannot disturb her.. "-paliwanag ko at bumagsak ang magkabilang-balikat niya kasabay ng pagkalungkot. Fvdge.. How am I going to deal with him? Maya-maya ay umalis na siya sa hita ko at walang gana siyang lumabas ng pinto. I suddenly starts to think about Jorren. I need to find away to let him be happy without depending on Sam.

Sam's POV:

Ipinaubaya ko na kay Lean Daniel ang about sa kapatid niya. Masyadong matigas ang ulo ni L Damiel. Maya-maya ay biglang dumating si Akira habang may naka-escort sa kanyang mga butler.

"Hi Doc, may I see Lean Damiel?"-bati niya atsaka ngumiti.

"Ahh opo, he's inside of this room kasama si Doc Lean Daniel."-sagot ko at agad siyang pumasok dun. Hinaligihan ng mga butler ang labas ng kwarto habang kinakausap ni Akira si L. Damiel Tan. Agad akong lumayo. Baka kung ano pa marinig ko. It's their own privacy.

Third Person's POV:

"Hey, Damiel! I'm glad that you're finally awake!"-natutuwang bati ni Akira at lumapit para mayakap ang partner.

"How's your day, here?"-pangungumusta nito pero hindi sumagot si Damiel.

"Isn't it obvious?! I'm not okay!"-matigas na sabi nito at nanatiling nakaupo sa kama.

"I think he's insecure because he can't attend with your special model pageant. He got too much pride."

"Shut up, Daniel! Will you?!"-sambit ni Damiel sa kapatid pero nginisihan lang siya neto.

"That's alright, Damiel. I came here to deliver my good and bad news to you.."-sabi ni Akira na ikinatahimik nila.

"What's the good news?"-walang emosyong tanong nito. Tumawa muna si Akira bago sabihin ang balita.

"Congratz! Our company agreed to join you in our Summer Fashion in our newly published Magazine. And I'm still your partner!"-nakangiting balita niya pero di kumibo si Damiel.

"How about the Bad news?"

"Well...."-bumuntong-hininga muna si Akira before niya bitawan ang salita.

"The FR Company has started it's audition just to hire a new replacement to you. After all, you're no longer belong to the Famous Artist but brought as a lower position artist in all category." Pagkatapos sabihin ni Akira yun ay agad nandilim ang mukha ni Damiel.

Tila para bang sa isang iglap ay bumagsak siya sa napakataas na pangarap at bumalik sa dating hirap. Wala na ang pinaka-inaasam niyang career.

He's already in a low position in the company. Hindi siya nagpahalata sa damdamin niya at nanatili siyang tahimik.

"I guess you're still fine with that. So, pano? Una nako, Damiel. I still have a lot of things to work on."-paalam ni Akira sa kanya pero di siya sumagot.

"You too, Daniel. Take care of your brother. Mukhang matatag naman siya enough to fight Depression."-sabi ni Akira kay Daniel at napasmirk naman ito.

"I doubt about it. Baka kinabukasan, makikita na lang natin siya na nakaplastar sa news because of suiciding."-natatawang sagot ni Daniel at rinig na rinig yun ni Damiel.

Di alam ni L Damiel ang gagawin dahil punong-puno siya ng galit sa loob. Gusto rin niyang patayin ang kapatid dahil sa sobrang kaasaran dito. Tahimik lang siya pero deep down ay napatay na niya si Daniel ng sampung beses.
