《The Secret of the Secret Boss》Chapter 11

"babalik na tayo ng Manila bukas" wika ni Rei, habang nakayakap sa akin.
"sige, wait, tatayo ako" wika ko habang tinatanggal ang yakap niya sa bewang ko.
Nakahiga lang naman kami ngayon at hindi pa bumabangon, ngayon?. parang wala ata siyang balak gawin mag hapon kundi humiga lang ng humiga.
"san kaba pupunta? Ang aga pa" lalo niya pang hinigpitan ang yakap para hindi ako makaalis.
Okay, suko na ako. Ang iniisip ko lang naman gawin ay ang tawagan si Marco at kumustahin ang project sa Tagaytay. Matagal tagal ko nang hindi nabibisita ang lugar. Mag oopening nadin iyon sa makalawa.
"kung hindi ka nakakatulog nang walang katabi, pwede bang ako nalang ang katabi mo palagi?" tanong niya sabay tingin sa akin. Ramdam na ramdam ko ang ilong niyang ipinupunas sa pisngi ko, nakakakiliti. Hmmmm
"bakit naman?," tanong ko sabay harap sa kanya. Magkatapat na ang mukha namin ngayon. Ang gwapo ng nilalang na ito.
"wala kasi akong tiwala kay Marco" wika niya sabay halik sa tip ng ilong ko.
"isusumbong kita sakanya. Marco is a very good person" wika ko.
"okay, basta, tayo ang magtatabi sa pagtulog, promise, I will be a very good boy" wika niya, sabay taas ng kanang kamay.
Napatawa ako ng malakas. Will be a very good boy hah?.
Sa huli, nauna padin siyang bumangon at nagluto ng breakfast. Sinamantala ko naman ang pagkakataong iyon para kausapin si Marco.
The talk was smooth, natuon lang ang atensiyon ko sa sinabi ni Marco na pinag-uusapan daw kami ni Reigan sa kumpanya.
Bumaba na ako at naabutan si Reigan na nakamasid sa pagbaba ko. Sinalubong niya ako ng mahigpit na yakap. Yakap na parang ayoko ng matapos hahaha.
"gutom kana?, kain na tayo" sabay hila sa akin sa kusina.
We ate breakfast. At gaya nga ng sinabi ko kanina. Wala talaga siyang balak lumabas, wala kaming ibang ginawa kundi ang mag cuddle, mag movie marathon, magkape at magkwentuhan tungkol sa kumpanya at kung ano ano pa. Iniingatan ko ang bawat salitang lumalabas sa bibig ko.
Kinaumagahan, maaga kaming gumayak at umalis dahil may kailangan pa siyang asikasuhin sa kumpanya niya. Maybe, the so called "international business conference"
Inihatid niya ako sa condo ko at hindi na nagtagal. Ipinasok ko ang mga gamit ko at nagbihis, hinarap ko ang laptop, ini open ko ang mga emails ko at nakatanggap nga ako ng mensahe galing sa mga organizer ng event sa US, who is a very good friend of mine.

Miss Sarmiento,
You are cordially invited in the upcoming International Business Conference.
The event will be held at Hernandez Hotel, Vancouver, Canada.
I am expecting you to be there, especially, you are one of the three big bosses.
Haaayy, ilang beses ko nang sinabi sakanya na huwag akong imbitahan sa mga ganitong event.
Isinara ko ang laptop ko at nahiga. Ano na ang mangyayari sa akin ngayon?. ano naba itong pinapasok ko? What will happen to me, will I be happy with him?. magiging masaya ba siya akin. I can't keep this secret forever. Nagising ako sa pag-iisip nang biglang tumunog ang cellphone ko. May nagtext
+6397572*****
Masaya kana ba?
+6397572*****
Come back to me. Vee
Kinilabutan ako sa mga natanggap kong text. Luminga ako sa paligid dahil baka pinasok ako ng kung sino.
Tumunog ulit ang cellphone ko.
+6397572*****
Sa akin padin ang bagsak mo Vee.
Kinikilabutan ako, nanlamig ang buong katawan ko. Naramdaman ko nalang ang pag agos ng mga luha ko sa magkabila kong pisngi. Ano ito?. sino ito?. Si Francis?.
I knew it. Mahal din ako ng babaeng mahal na mahal ko. Sa wakas, sinagot na niya ako. Hindi maalis ang ngiti sa aking labi. November 22, 2017, 10:15 pm is the date.
Pagka hatid ko sakanya ay dumeretso na ako sa opisina ni Jayvee. Yes, I knew something but I need to confirm it first.
"hey, bro, what's up?" bungad sa akin ni Jayvee sabay high five.
Pagkatapos sabihin ni kuya sa akin ang mga iyon ay hindi ako tumigil para mahalungkat ang nakaraan nila ni Valerie.
Ang sabi ni kuya ay ginamit siya ng babaeng mahal ko pero bakit iba ang pakiramdam ko, iniisip ko na baka hindi ko lang matangggap dahil mahal na mahal ko siya. I knew it already, when I first laid my eyes on her, she's the one.
I didn't stop. Pumunta ako mismo sa mga kinauukulan para kumuha ng copy ng kaso ni kuya pero nabigo ako, even the victim paid for the files' confidentiality. Kung ang biktima ay si Val, bakit siya nagtatago? May pinagtataguan ba siya?. o baka naman nahihiya siya dahil may hindi siya magandang ginawa kaya itinatago niya ang katauhan niya.
"asan na?" tanong ko kay Jayvee sabay upo sa upuang nasa harap ng mesa niya.
"here bro", sabay abot sa akin ng brown envelope.
"Nagbuwis ako ng buhay para diyan bro, nagmakaawa ako kay papa para diyan." maarteng wika ni Jayvee.
Nang nalaman ko na confidential ito ay naisip ko kaagad si Jayvee, his father is in the higest rank in PNP kaya madali lang ito. Besides, mabait si tito Allan. Isa siya sa mga pulis na humawak sa kaso ni kuya. I heard from my sources.

"salamat" wika ko kay Jayvee.
"hindi yan libre bro. May bayad yan"
Tuso ka talaga Jayvee.
"what do you want?" tanong ko
"your secretary" wika niya. Akala ko pera.
"fuck dude!, anong gusto mong gawin ko? Set a date para sa inyong dalawa?. why don't you do it by yourself" wika ko.
"chill!, nakahuli ka lang ng sekretarya, ganyan kana. Tinulungan naman kita doon ah,. kaya tulungan mo din ako" pagmamakaawa niya.
"fine",
"thanks bro!" at aamba siyang yayakap sa akin pero sinalubong ko ang kamao ko sakanya kaya napaatras siya. Sometimes, this man's crazy. Haha
"what are you planning to do with those?" tanong niya
"may gusto lang akong malaman."
"malaman?, nakulong pala si Frank, kaya pala bigla siyang nawala, ang balita noon nangibang bansa siya" patawa tawang wika ni Jayvee.
"hindi mo naman binuksan to hindi ba?" mapagdudang tanong ko.
"syempre,,... hindi bro!, di naman ako tsismoso ahhhahah"
"salamat ulit bro, sa opisina ko nalang ito babasahin" pamamaalam ko. Sabay tayo.
Palabas na ako nang bigla siyang nagsalita.
"it's rape bro, and attempted murder" wika niya sa seryosong boses.
Napatigil ako sa sinabi niya. Hindi na ako lumingon, lumabas ako ng opisina niya at dere deretsong pumunta sa sasakyan ko. Natulala ako sa narinig ko mula kay Jayvee.
Naalala ko ang sinabi ni kuya. . .
********
"i will prove to you that she is Venice Hernandez" seryosong wika ni kuya habang nag iinuman kami sa likod bahay.
"shut it kuya, she's Val, my Val" wika ko
Napatawa ng malutong si kuya. Nagkatinginan kami at nakakaramdam ako ng tensiyon.
"ginamit niya ako Gan, she used me. Mahal na mahal ko siya, itinago ko iyon, araw araw akong nagpapadala ng bulaklak sakanya noon" wika ni kuya. Hanggang ngayon, hindi padin tinatanggap ng sistema ko ang mga sinasabi niya tungkol sa babaeng mahal niya. Venice Hernandez.?
"you're a professor back then? And what is she?"
"my student." wika niya. What the f! really?. pero hindi ko masisisi si kuya, he became a professor at the age of 22 dahil matalino talaga siya. Lahat sakanya ay outstanding. Hindi ko lang lubos maisip kung paanong gumuho ang mundo niya noong nakulong siya.
"what did you do? How did you end up in that cell?" tanong ko sabay tingin sa basong hawak hawak ko.
"before graduation, I ask her kung pwede ba kaming magdate. She agreed. Kapalit nun ay ang grade niyang uno. In that, magiging suma cum laude siya. One afternoon, may nangyari sa amin sa office ko, akala ko magiging maayos pagkatapos nun pero hindi, bago pa kami matapos at may namwersang magbukas ng pinto ko kaya nakita nila kami sa ganung ayos " makatotohanang kwento ni kuya.
"and then?" hudyat na gusto kong ipagpatuloy niya ang kwento niya.
"nagbago siya bigla, bigla siyang tumakbo papalapit sa mga taong nasa may pinto at humingi ng saklolo, pa ulit ulit niyang binabanggit ang salitang "nirape niya ako, tulungan nio ako, hahahhaha" mangiyak iyak na wika ni kuya.
Hindi si Val ang babaeng tinutukoy niya. Hindi manggagamit si Valerie, she never used me.
"i was caught off guard, tumawag sila kaagad ng security at dinala ako sa prisinto, nakakahiya ang nangyari. I told them the truth pero walang naniwala sa akin, maski sila mama at ang tatay mo ay iniwan ako sa ere." may galit sa tono ni kuya habang binibigkas ang mga magulang ko.
"I will prove to you that the woman you're dating is the girl who made my life as miserable as hell", wika ni kuya.
"that woman isn't my Val kuya" paninigurado ko sakanya.
"and what if? She is?" punong puno ng assurance ang tono ni kuya.
"she isn't" wika ko sabay lagok sa iniinom ko. Tumayo ako at pumasok sa loob.
*******
Doon ko tinawagan si Jayvee para sa mga papeles na hawak ko ngayon. Kung rape nga ito. Kaya ko kayang tanggapin?. kung siya nga talaga ang Venice na sinasabi ni kuya. Anong gagawin ko?. naguguluhan ako. Bumalik ba siya para maghiganti?. fuck, hindi ko ata iyon matatanggap. Hinding hindi. Totoo ang mga ipinapakita ni Val sa akin. Mahal niya ako at ramdam ko iyon.
Umuwi ako sa bahay ko at dumeretso sa working table ko. Binuksan ko ang envelope at tumambad sa akin ang mga complaints, ang papel ng hatol na guilty at kung ano ano pa. Abala ko sa pag hahalungkat at pagbabasa ng ilan sa mga papel galing dito, napatigil ako sa isang white envelope na may lamang letrato, naka taob ito at may nakasulat na Venice Hernandez, bigla akong kinabahan, paano kung siya nga talaga?. no, not my Val.
Unti- unti kong inikot ang letrato, mix emotions covered my whole system. Fear, heartache and anger. Why?

The City of the Dragon Twisted
. 🐉 . The City of The Forever-Peace witnesses a pale young Buddhist Monk fighting his fearful thoughts of whether to cross the borders to Nepal and India against the death penalty. Why would that matter? In that September Autumn night of circa A.D.655, Emperor Táme’ Tie’-Zeon has been ruling an empire spanning 13,000 miles from the East to as far as the Baikal Sea in the Western Regions bordering the Middle East kingdom and the Rome Empire. Meanwhile, news has traveled that his Dharma-Son, Pan G. Monk faces an incredible Guillotine Execution that will chop off his waist in halves. The Empress Wǔl Zénder-Tan’ couldn't be careless. Why would that matter to the imperial family? Monks are just officials with equal vicarious duties and privileges. She would then spare her resourceful energy to maintain the fruitful relationship intertwining The Grand-Khan Jurchen-Warlords Clans in the North-East Desert in attempts to affirm her fate as the first and only female-Emperor, in the Medieval Ages of the Great City of the Dragon. Whereas The Abbot Master Xend'-Zeon of the Jade-Lotus Temple faces factions of religious politics. Particularly in the present, the Empress needed to manipulate the Master’s reputation to desperately seek life and/or the after-life merits. She decreed to be addressed as The Old Buddha Grand Father. The Master has had ideals of service to sentient beings since he was young. He could have traveled the Silk Road to the Far West entrance-point bypassing the five beacons as shortcuts save that he lacks the pertinent travel documents. Instead, he chose to cross the 800-mile овь-Gobi Desert that is as vast as the Baikal Sea, on foot. A route that is impossible in the history of the Buddha dharma. His heart never withers to support the mage of the red lotus that promises the Enlightenment of the Buddha-Land. Except that no one has ever endured the latitude of the heat. The pain. Alive, out of the desert sea. But he is also vulnerable to recognize the un-staticity of The Truth, The Truth itself, and the truth of seeking passion and mission for compassion in humankind. The mind and body reciting The Sūtra and The Heart, A phenomenon they knew better as if souls in chemical layers of their physique. Realizing enhanced mind training attaining controlling powers of life and death. Realizing the transformation of the unbearable pains and grievances he thought possible. . 2 . 🐉 . Meanwhile, dreams have been watching him to open The Third Eye, at The City's Amethyst-Jade Palace of the Second Emperor, Third Emperor, and Fourth Empress. Old Monks at The Nālandā Temple at the Far West Buddha Land; Householders Masters and Kings of the Jeek’-Foot Mountains of The City of the Naga-Dragon Twisted; in the Far West of The City of the Ever-Peace witness adventures of The Master. Lives at brinks of suicidal choices slaughtering ordeals. Who have inadvertently neglected the Master's karmic inflictions that would paradoxically affirm in a point of Near-Death Experiences; The Two-Profound-Reflective presented upon attaining The Deep-Active-Meditatitive Flow of Equanimity Samādhi. Eventually, The Seer Consciousness sees the Active Heart that is replete with The Latent Unconditional Love, Compassion And Empathy; that had been so close to us that we could not see it; as if one cannot see her own face. . 3 . 🐉 . Meanwhile also, the Imperial Criminal Affairs Clerk Ewen Hawk-Jean suffers too much seeking possession of desires and relief from a certain situation. Pan G., the Assistant Dharma-Translator to the Abbott Master Xend'-zeon has voluntarily or otherwise fallen into the supposed conspiracy or plain indifference. The imperial family's agenda of the Imperial Family of The Fang’-Chucks of course longs for a waist cut in halves not simply as souvenirs. Awaiting the Abbot Master is to come out from the disturbance. Incredibly transformative factors of the Mind-Transcendence-Samadhi are profoundly desired to spare the Monk Pan G. from the Post-Autumn Guillotine Execution that will chop off his waist in halves...... …But why would it matter to You?

Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: Alicia
"Why are my hands getting warmer?" As far as Alicia was concerned, she was the daughter of a rich businessman attending high school. Then, she feels off and at the same time, she's not. One week later, her best friend brought her to another world(s). This is Alicia Bell's tale. 1st book written in the Wizards of the Otherworldly series. Wizards of the Otherworldly Court is a fantasy story about the Otherworldly Court, an inter-dimensional (or world-hopping, you get the idea) organization made up of people of all ages, gender, and race from many parallel or different worlds. They are granted elemental-like magic powers and called themselves 'Court Wizards'. They are tasked to watch over the many worlds they come across and step into these worlds on 'missions' to preserve the balance, life, order, anything to make said worlds better places in the shadows but may reveal themselves if necessary. However, these missions may partially or even fully oppose their nature, personal interests, and ideals. Yet, most of the Court Wizards are aware and willing to complete even the worst missions that would shatter their true selves that they will never cast aside regardless, either growing or regressing because of it. Basically, it's isekai to multiple worlds but each book after Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: Alicia focuses primarily on one world while also discussing its lore in detail. Book Alicia is the introduction containing the essential worldbuilding of the Otherworldly Court universe you need to know while shoving in as many characters and worlds as I can. Also, each book will have a different main character, sometimes more than one in a single book, like Jojo. Crossposted with Wattpad, WordPress, Sufficient Velocity, and Rainobu.
