"Please stop the car, Lei!" kinakabahang sigaw ko ng makita ko na malapit na kaming mabangga sa paparating na truck.
"I-i don't know h-how, Sazch." nanginginig na sigaw niya.
"Lei!" Seconds passed the truck bumped into our car and all went black....
Sazchna Pov
I also lost myself. I no longer know who I am. I was so erased by the resentments in my heart, I just wanted to be loved but in the end I was the only one who loved me.
I am Sazchna Venice Alunsina, the living heartless girl....
When the plane I was on landed, I felt a tremor in my body. I finally got back to the Philippines.
I smiled while going to the airport to look for mommy and daddy who came home to the Philippines earlier because they said they were going to fix something important in the company that my father runs.
I ran to go to mommy who was now also running to greet me and hug me.
"Welcome back Sazch" greeted my parents along with my cousins ​​older brother Ryden, Ramir and brother Zailer.
We went home immediately because they had dinner ready at home. I think my heart is pounding with my families, it's boring to fool men whose love for you isn't sincere. I don't do all of them but most of them have only one purpose.
I saw Mamita and Dadilo, let them hug me. I missed them, anyway. "Kamusta po health niyo?" I asked them first before anything else.
They both smiled, I know them very well. Gustong-gusto nilang naririnig na kinu-kumusta ko sila, ika nila lumalakas sila kapag kinu-kumusta ko sila. "We are fine anak, always pretty like you."
We laugh at her last sentence. "Syempre naman mamita, kanino pa po ba ako magmamana. Diba?"
Nagsimula na kaming tikman ang mga putahe na hinain nila, masasarap lahat. Dumadaloy na yata sa dugo ng Alunsina ang galing sa pagluto.
Nang mag gabi na ay nag kanya-kanya na kaming uwi sa mga kanya-kanyang bahay. Umuwi muna ako sa condo ko na binili ni daddy sa'kin nung birthday ko last year.
Habang nasa labas ako ng teresa ng unit ko ay napapa-isip nalang ako sa mga nangyari. Kung natuloy baang masamang pakay sa'kin, ano na kaya ang buhay ko ngayon? Mga tanong na tumatakbo saaking isipan.
Nang makontento na ako sa aking mga malalalim na iniisip ay pumasok na din ako dahil masyado ng malalim ang gabi. I need to rest.
Alas syete ng umaga nang magising ako, hindi pa sanay ang body clock ko sa oras ng gising sa pilipinas. Para saakin ay masyado pang maaga dahil wala pa naman akong gagawin.
Sinubukan kong matulog ulit ngunit hindi na ako binisita ng antok kaya napagdesisyunan ko na pumunta nalang sa kusina at magluto ng agahan ko.
Sa inip ko ay kinuha ko ang phone ko at nagbasa ng bagong news. Ibababa ko na sana ang phone ko ng may mabasa akong hindi inaasahan.
Christoper Alunsina lost 180 billion at the casino. He also said he couldn't pay and he didn't have that amount, good thing he knew who had lost him and gave him an 1 year extension to pay it off.
Napatitig nalang ako bigla sa sahig sa hindi ko malaman kung bakit si daddy pa sa lahat ng tao. Kailan pa siya natutong mag casino?
Napagtanto ko nalang na nasusunog na ang aking niluluto ng maamoy ko ito. Itinapon ko nalang ang sunog na niluto ko at dire diretsyong pumunta sa mansyon nila daddy.
Walang katok katok kong binuksan ang main door ng makita kong andoon silang lahat, maliban saakin.
"Is that true dad?" I can't control my anger. Fucking shit! 18 billion ang pinag uusapan dito!
"N-no, Of course not! Dinaya nila ako."
he reasoned, shaking his hand.
"Don't make such a stupid reason, Christoper!" mom said, it is obvious that anger is uncontrollable.
Napatakip nalang si daddy sa kanyang mukha, halatang hindi alam ang gagawin. "I'm saying the truth, why can't you all trust me?" I saw a pain in his eyes.
Hindi ako nagsalita, tinatakasan ako ng lakas ng loob magsalita. Alam kong mayaman kami, pero hindi 'yun enough para mabayaran ang 180 billion sa isang araw lang. Mauubos ang ari-arian namin kung babayaran namin iyon agad.
"We can file a lawsuit. I am a professional lawyer. Dad can win, trust me." I did not hesitate to say that, they taught me, feed me, dressed me, loved me. Now that maybe I can make up for everything they give me.
"They will kill us. Fredirick is a dirty player, he will kill everyone who opposes what he says."
"Then what dad? We'll let you pay that 180 billion? We can win dad. Please, let me help you this time." I begged but he refuse. He really a hard headed. Damn it!
"Just stay out of this, Sazchna!" maybe this is the time to listen to him. He hasn't shouted at me eversince, this is the first time.
"F-fine, I'll work harder. I'll help you." hindi ko na hinintay ang sasabihin pa niya at umalis na sa mansyon.
Akala ko kalayaan na ang makikita ko dito sa pilipinas, bagong trauma pala.
I decided to go to the nearest coffee shop while I was playing ml to relieve stress. Bubuksan ko na sana ang pinto ng coffe shop ng biglang may humawak sa kamay ko.
Nang mag angat ako ng tingin nakita ko ang nakatunganga na mukha ng lalaki sa harapan ko.Bumilis ang puso ko pero hindi ko iyon pinahalata.
"L-let go of my hand, ako na ang magbubukas" kalmado kong sabe pero nakatulala parin siya.
Nagulat ako ng marinig ko na defeat ang kinalabasan ng laro ko at talo na naman ako dahil dito sa pesteng lalaking 'to, dahil sakanya natalo ulit ako kainis!
"Look what you've done, natalo ako dahil sayo!" hindi ko napigilan na hindi magtaas ng boses. Sa inis ko ay pumasok nalang ako sa coffee shop at nag order ng kape.
"Dine in or take out po ma'am?" Nakangiting tanong ng cashier.
"Dine in" medyo iritado pa ding tugon ko dahil sa hindi mawala sa isip ko yung lalaki kanina sa labas ng coffee shop na....wait, siya ba yung sumisimsim ng kape sa gilid ng pupuntahan ko na table? Malas!
"Look who's here" nakangising saad ko ng lapitan ko ang table ng cute na book/tulala boy. "Alam mo bang natalo ako sa laro ko dahil sayo?" sabay alis ko at lumipat sa kabilang table.
I let a deep sigh. Hays pati ba naman sa laro stressed din ako.
Leijann Pov
Why are people here stupid? Why can't they just do their fucking works properly?
"Don't stare at the floor Cristina! Do I look like a floor?" I asked irritably when I saw that she was looking at the floor.
"N-no s-sir" bakas ang takot sa tono ni Cristina.
What happened yesterday? Why did one of our stockholders leave?" I shouted angrily.
"S-sir I accidentally drop a coffee on his suit-" hindi ko na pinatapos ang sasabihin ni Cristina.
"You're fired!"
"But sir" gulat na tanong ni Cristina.
"No but's!" I glared at her. Bakas sa mukha niya ang inis ng umalis siya, but I don't give a fuck!
Kinuha ko ang susi ng porshe car ko at nagmadaling umalis. "I need to calm myself."
It took 12 minutes before I could leave the traffic. Would I have opened the door with a soft hand in my hand? Woman? Why is my heart beating so fast?
Nang mag-angat ako ng tingin nahagip ng mata ko yung babae kanina na sumigaw sakin. That girl is rude but I can't help not to smile.I don't know why.
First time ko na masigawan ng babae dahil sinasamba nila ako. Siya, ni hindi man lang ako nagalit. Why am I like this? I don't know what's happening.
Tinago ko ang pagkagulat na bumadha sa aking mukha ng siya ay lumapit saakin.
"Look who's here" nakangisi niyang saad. "Alam mo bang natalo ako sa laro ko dahil sayo?" sabay alis niya at lumipat sa kabilang table.
"Such a rude girl but I like her." I said with the smile on my face.
A while ago, when I saw her she looks so familiar. I't's just like i know her very much from my past.
Nang maubos ko ang kape na inorder ko agad akong bumalik sa company na malapit lang dito para ipagpatuloy ang ginagawa ko.
I lost my fucking secretary, again. Simpleng bagay ba naman kase hindi pa magawa. Such a stupid person.
I took the landline phone and dialed the number of my substitute assistant. In just one rang she answered the call.
"Jinina next week magpadala ka ng mga i eenterview ko for secretary position."
"Sir ikaw na po ang mag eenterview?" maingat na tanong niya.
"Palpak lahat ng mga nahire niyo,mga walang kwenta" may diin na sabi ko kay Jinina.
"Copy po sir" I ended the call.
Hindi ko na tinapos lahat ng gagawin ko dito, bahala ng itambak sa susunod kong secretary. Anong silbi niya kung di noya gagampanan trabaho niya.
The time is still long, I have enough time to visit my friend. I went to Aelous's house to see Lea as well.
Lea, Lea, Lea, tsk. tsk. tsk.
My new flavor of the month.
Sazchna Pov
I'ts already 12 midnight. I can't sleep. Simula alas tres ng hapon nagsimula akong tumunganga dito sa terrace ng unit ko. Nag iisip ako ng magandang paraan para makaipon ng 18 billion.
I'm a lawyer, yes. I also have a restaurant and some branches but I don't think we can complete 180 billion in just a snap.
Tumagal ako hanggang 2 am dahil hindi rin naman sanay ang diwa ko sa tulog sa manila. Napag desisyunan ko na mag trabaho pa ng iba para mas mapadali ang pag iipon. I just wan't to help my parents....
My alarm clock rang and it was time to wake up. I need to find another job. Yes I am busy man but I filed a leave for 3 months. My body is tired of very complicated cases
Pagkatapos ko maligo ay naghanap ako ng masusuot ko at napili kong suotin ay pencil cut na skirt at white long sleeve para desente sa pag interview sakin.
While I was waiting for my breakfast to be cooked I called my friend Jinina. It took many rings before she picked up the call.
"Hello Sazch?" Masayang sagot ni Jinana.
"Jinina napatawag ako kase baka may hiring kayo jan sa company na pinagta-trabahuhan mo?"
"Bakit? I mean, bakit ka magtatrabaho?" naguguluhang tanong ni Jinina.
"Chika ko sayo pag may trabaho na ako"
"Okay sige. Meron ngang hiring ngayon dito, pero hindi ko alam kung matatagalan mo ba ang boss namin dito."
"Kakayanin ko" natatawang sagot ko.
"Sige, punta ka dito ngayon din kase mag start na maya maya ang pag i-interview ni boss and secretary nga pala ang posisyon na sinasabi ko sayo."
"Okay. Thank you, Jinina."
"Always welcome, Sazch." sagot ni Jinina at pinatay na ang tawag.
Nag umpisa na ako mag almusal para pumunta sa pinagtatrabahuhan ni Jinina.
"Goodluck self! Fight! Fight! Fight!"
I hurried to the fourth floor where the interview would be held. I approached three women lined up and lined up as well.
I entered the office with the necessary requirements. I was shocked to see the boss who I met at the coffee shop. I sneezed to get his attention and he was shocked to see that I was in front of him.
"Sit down" saad niya na nabigay gulat saakin.
"A-ahm, this is my requirements." saad ko ng ibigay sakanya ang kakailanganin niya.
"Nakalimutan mo na ba ako?" nakangisi niyang tanong.
"N-no" nagbaba ako ng tingin. "I'm sorry about what happened yesterday." nag angat ako ng tingin "May nangyare lang talaga na hindi maganda kaya halos lahat napagbutungan ko ng init ng ulo."
He just looked at me and didn't speak so I spoke.
"I'm Sazchna Venice Alunsina" Saad ng bigla niyang ikinagulat.
