ROMANTICO SERIES 1: His Only Plea (FILIPINO VERSION)

CHAPTER 2

___Ruby's POV___

"Ruby babe!".

"Ruby babe!" she shouted as loud as she could pero hindi ko ito pinapansin, kanina pa kami nakauwi at heto ako nasa kusina kumakain samantalang siya ay nagdadabog parin sa may sala.

Ikaw ba naman kasi ang pinipilit na magapply sa SHI eh Sandroe yun, tangna paano kung siya na ang namamahala non edi magkikita kami, loko-loko din itong si Riri babe eh.

Di mo sure. Lintik na utak to ah ang landi lang.

Argh! bahala na, eh kung siya talaga ang CEO ng Sandroe Home Industry then for sure hindi ako makakapasok dun so mag-uumpisa na lamang ako sa number 2 na nakalista, I don't have any choice but to save my ass from the embarrassing moment once I'll go to that building.

"Ruby! ano ba hoy! opportunity na yan babayita, manok na nga ang lumalapit sa kawali eh hindi mo pa kinuha, ano na akala ko ba kelangan mo ng malaki-laking halaga ng pera eh sabi diyan hiring sila ng Secretary so that means malaking position ang mapapasukan mo't malaki ang sahod" nakapameywang niyang sabi.

"Eh sa ayaw ko nga! " I answered her then lean on the table, irritation is within my face.

"Pano si Tito?" may pag-alala niyang sambit kapag kuwan habang nakatingin sa kawalan.

Napaayos ako ng upo ng mabanggit niya si Amang, Oo nga naman, ito pala ang rason kung bakit ako lumuwas pa maynila dahil kay Amang.

Amang.... gagawin ko po ang lahat ng makakaya ko, hinding- hindi kita susukoan Amang....

"Sa number 2 muna ako magsisimula bukas" I said while opening the Chips I got from the table, gaya ng ginawa ko kumuha din si Riri at kinain ito.

Mag-aalas dos na ng hapon ng tumayo kami't naglinis sa condo, Riri's condo, dito niya ako pinatuloy noong tinawagan ko siyang luluwas ako, magrerent naman sana ako kaso siya na yung nag-offer at may marami pang dahilan para masagot ko ng oo yung offer niya but I made sure na hati-hati kami sa babayarin o kung ano pang pangangailangan sa condo like foods and she's okay din naman.

I cooked after we cleaned the house chores, Sinigang ang niluto ko, favorite namin to ni Riri babe at Daniel, We used to dine with this food as our dish.

Wait what? what did I say? wait really?.

Meirda! meirda! holy s**t! I shouldn't have said that.

Bakit yung pangalan niya ay nasali? s**t.

I slapped my face many times, I didn't stop til' my cousin approached me.

"Riri anong oras ka magsisimula bukas?" tanong ni Riri habang inihahanda ang hapag.

"Nasa alas otso siguro".

"Ahhh sige anong oras ka makakauwi niyan?".

"Maybe 8 p.m? I dont know, depende sa company na mapuntahan ko, ohh hayan tapos na hmmmm bango", I then turned off the stove.

"Sige baka hindi rin ako makabalik dito I have a lot of things to do tomorrow ibibigay ko lang sayo tong original na key hindi pa kasi natatapos yung duplicate so sayo muna ito then we'll exchange keys kapag tapos na".

I went inside in my room after she gave me her keys, I hid it in my wallet since makakalimotin ako so kelangan magsiguro na lamang, baka saang lupalop ko pa ito mailagay at mawala.

Nakababa na ako pagkatapos, nadatnan kong nakaupo na si Riri sa hapag at hinihintay ako

7:30 p.m na ng matapos kaming kumain, dinala ko yung pinagkainan namin at hinugasan.

"Ruby babe matutulog na ako", hinalikan niya ako sa pisngi bago tinungo ang kanyang kwarto.

Pagkatapos kong maghugas ng mga nagamit namin ay kinuha ko ang folder na binigay ni Riri kanina, I scannned it for minute.

1. Sandroe Home Industry

2. Mendoza Chain of Hospitals

3. Rachwals' Home of Designs

4. Andrade Design Inc.

5. Baker Wood World

6. Abelson Technology Company

7. Brooks Industry

8. Cahns' Design Company

9. Chadd Chain of Hospitals

10. Cairó Corporation

Tong si Riri talaga bakit mukhang mga bigatin tong mga kompanyang nasa listahan, eh kilalang-kilala tong mga to sa pinas at maging sa ibang bansa lalo na ang SHI.

I've read a lot of magazines that features the Sandroe Home Industry and I've heard a lot of compliments about the one who manages the industry, Mr. Sandroe managed the hotels, restaurants, beach resorts, islands and the small businesses they have, He's known for being the lion in business, sabi pa nga ng pinakasikat na magazine dito,

He's perfectly perfect for the world.

The pride of our country for he brought our economic in the top around the Asia, he have been doing charities everywhere just to lessen the hindrances that every poor person have, and We could say that every woman in the world are drooling over him, who wouldn't? even though he's still mysterious to all of us, we could have say this man behind the mysteriousness is a gorgeous man with a good heart based on his doings, Mr. Sandroe is one hell of a business tycoon.

Kahit nga ako gusto ko nang masilayan ang napakagwapong mukha ni Mr. Sandroe, sabi kasi ng ibang nakakita dito na mga writers ay talagang gwapo itong si Mr. Sandroe, hindi ito tumatanggap ng kahit anong commercial o picturial na nagpifeatures sa sarili't kompanya , kahit katulad to ng surname ni Daniel eh hindi parin nito napipigilan ang kagustuhan kong makita si Mr. Sandroe kaso hindi ko parin gustong mamasukan sa SHI.

Tatanggapin kaya ako?

Ay hanep ni utak, echosera ka naman masyado babae. Hanep talaga nito walang ibang ginawa kundi manudyo.

"Bahala na basta sa number 2 ako magsisimula bukas", watching my small watch I then put the folder down unto the table, bukas ko nalamang ito ababalahin.

Bago pumasok sa kwarto ay ginawa ko muna yung night skin care routine at nagbihis ng simpleng light pink nighties, I checked my phone after that, nag-open ako sa IG ko and nagview sa ginawa ko kaninang umaga, marami-raming views na at maraming followers ko yung nag-goodluck sa akin at ang iba naman ay yung sana daw makikita nila ako dito sa maynila, I answered all the messages they dm before I go to sleep, I stand to turn on the aircon then lay down again in the small, smooth and comfy bed I have.

I'm about to sleep ng mag-vibrate yung phone ko na nasa table beside my bed, kinuha ko ito at I almost release my phone from my hand when I saw the notification I just received and it says,

Daniel Mitch Sandroe started following you..........

Shit is this for real?!

At dahil sa shookedness ko ay tumayo ako ngunit nahulog ako kasama si baby phone so I hold my phone tight dahil baka magasgasan kaya nasa dibdib ko ito ng nasa sahig nako, nakatihaya, inangat ko si phoney but my shockedness a while ago is lesser that what I'm feeling right now. Ikaw ba namang napindot mo yung follow back ng labag sa kalooban mo.

Fuck follow back..

Paano na!? lintik na ako dito s**t!.

I regret now why I complimented this bed a while ago, kainis naman!.

Ibinalik ko nalamang ang selpon sa misa at matutulog na ng biglang nagvibrate ulit si phoney, kahit kinakabahan kinuha ko parin ito, nasasabik akong napatingin sa selpon ngunit nawala lamang ito ng isang account ang nagfollow sa akin.

Hayst ano bayan.. wait what are you for real RUBY MONTY!? gosh hindi na ikaw to.

You should forget him, every single damn thing about him, sakit lang siya sa puso, paaasahin ka lang niyan.

Pero para lamang akong sirang plaka dahil kahit anong ulit ko pang pagsabihan ang sarili ko'y iisipin at iisipin ko parin tong lalaking to.

I hate you Dan, I hate you, I really do and I also hate myself for loving you, still loving you for a long damn time.

I just wish to forget you, start a new life without you, build my own kingdom without you as my king but why can't I do it? I wanna hate you forever until the world will end but I just can't, I can't why?.

I want to have you again but I'm afraid to experience again the things we had in the past, I don't like to face the enemy, I'm not brave and strong enough to stand in my own.

It's just so hard to love you for everyone around us doesn't support us, They want us apart for sure.

And I don't want to feel that feeling again.

The feel of being unwanted by most-

Unwanted...
