SAVANNAH

MY LIFE WAS VERY SIMPLE, as in napaka simple lang ng buhay ko noon.

Isa akong empleyado sa isang napaka sikat na company sa buong mundo.

Monroeville Empire is now leading the whole asia and the remaining 5 continents

Palaging top 1 pagdating sa mga shipping lines, marketing sales at iba pa.

Well, gusto niyong malaman kong ano na ang naging buhay ko ngayon?

Asawa ko lang naman ang misteryosong ceo ng pinakasikat na companya sa bansa, oo tama. Ako ang asawa ng Ceo na iyon.

Ako si Savannah Angeles-Monroeville. pano nga ba nangyari iyon? Simple lang.

Nalaman ko kasi ang isa sa pinaka iingatan nitong secreto.

Nakita ko kasi ang mukha niya nung minsang napadaan ako sa floor nito, it was an accident at hindi ko sinasadya.

He hides himself in that very big room and only his trusted secretary ang nakakapasok roon.

Lalaki ang secretary niya since wala daw itong tiwala sa mga kagaya ko, expected naman iyon since he's one of the biggest names in the business industry.

Maghahatid dapat ako ng file sa front desk sa 50th floor which is where his office is located.

Habang dala-dala ang naka pile na papeles dahan dahan akong naglakad sa hallway upang hindi matalisod o madapa. Hindi ko kasi makita ng maayos ang dinadaanan ko.

Overtime ako ngayon kasi ang team leader sa team kong saan ako naka assign at deadline na ngayon ng pasahan para sa designs namin.

"Nakakangalay naman."reklamo ko.

Nang makarating sa front desk ay inilapag ko ang mga papeles roon ay sinabihan si Mr. Evans na iiwanan ko nalang ang mga papeles roon.

Papaalis na dapat ako ng mapansin kong nakabukas ang pinto ng opisina ng CEO.

Out of curiosity naglakad ako papunta roon, hinawakan ko ang seradula ng pinto. I have no intentions para pumasok or what isasara ko lang naman ang pinto when someone grab my arm saka ako hinila papasok.

He pushed me against the wall and held my jaw tightly, parang madudurog ata ang panga ko sa paraan ng pagkakahawak nito.

"Why are you here?"He asked in a very cold tone.

Ipinikit ko ang mata. The golden rule in this company is never dare to look the CEO straight in to his eyes. We shouldn't have seen his face too.

"I-i'm sorry sir, pero wala po akong planong makita ang mukha-"

"Shut up b*tch, you're just a mere employee yet you disobeyed my one and only rule." He said, binitawan nito ang panga ko at naramdaman kong naglakad ito papaalis.

"A-aalis na po ako-"

"Cut it out, you stay here." He said.

"What the hell are you doing?" He asked.

Nakapikit parin ako at nakatayo ko saan niya ako itinulak.

"Nakapikit po." Magalang na sagot ko.

"Open your eyes, it's useless since makikita mo rin naman ang mukha ko." He said.

I started opening my eyes. My sight adjusted on the light coming from his ceiling saka ako diretsong tumingin sa nagiisang lalaki na nakaupo roon.

"You're disgusted right?" He asked.

He's face, it has a lot of scars and he has a mismatched eyes.

"Your face, what happened?" I suddenly got curious about it.

I won't judge him by his look but why does he look so eifing hot?

"Hindi ko masasagot yan."He said saka tumalikod ito sa akin.

"You're still handsome." I said.

"Oh yeah? You call me handsome when other people calls me a monster because of this." He said.

"You're handsome."Ulit ko.

Ngayon naman ay humarap ulit ito habang naka taas ang kilay.

Half of his face has a lot of scars, papunta sa leeg niya. I wonder if kasama din ang katawan niya?

"Stop staring at me. It's making me uncomfortable."He said.

"I'm sorry it's just. Ikinahihiya mo ba ang itsura mo?" I asked.

"How about you? When are you going to leave?" He said saka ako masamang tiningnan.

I only smiled saka nagsalita.

"If that's what you want sir, then I'll leave." I said saka na ako tumalikod rito at naglakad na papapunta sa pinto.

Hinawakan ko ang seradula ng pinto saka na ito pinihit at lumabas na doon.

"Iniisip niya ba talagang ayaw ko sa mukha niya?" I asked myself while walking through the elevator saka na sumakay.

I sighed.

My dog is just like him too. Na disfigured ang mukha dahil sa sunog gladly i came there as soon as i receive a phone call that where i live was on fire.

Waitress ako non sa isang five star restaurant at malapit lang din sa apartment kaya ilang minuto lang ay nakarating agad ako.

It was actually 7 years ago.

I'm already 24 and i was 17 back then 1st year college na ako non.

Puppy pa si Sparkle non kaya sobra akong nalungkot nung malaman kong nasunod ang likurang bahagi pababa sa paa niya dahil sa sunog.

I thought mamamatay na si Sparkle nun pero someone save him.

And that man became my ideal man.

He's just so awesome, crush ko rin siya slight.

I returned to my table to fix my things at para narin maka uwi.

When I'm done. Nag stretching muna ako para hindi sumakit ang likod at kamay ko kakatype at kakasulat kanina saka ko na kinuha ang bag ko at naglakad na paalis sa building.

I need to rest. I still have a lot of works to do for tomorrow.

Bumuntong hininga ulit ako, this is life.

GABRIEL

"WHAT'S WITH YOU TODAY GAB?"Hunter asked me.

I drank the remaining wine on my glass and answered him.

"A woman saw me today." I said.

"And then? What is her reaction did she throw tantrums and called you names such as monster or ugly duckling?" It was Kento.

"No, she never called me such names instead she said that i am handsome." Sabi ko at naglagay ulit ng wine sa baso.

"Uh huh? Really--that's new." Hunter said.

"She was actually one of my employees, I never seen her before i think she's the new team leader of my designer team."

"Dude, Do you remember when you said, when a woman doesn't judge when you first meet her, you will marry her right away. Try it to test her if she's really not like the other people who judged you immediately." Suhesyon naman ni Yamada.

Napaisip ako sa sinabi niya.

Why don't i try it? Wala namang mawawala hindi ba?

I called my very trusted men which is my secretary.

"Tyler, would you please background check this person for me? I think you'll know her since she's one of my employees." I said.

"Sure, Gab I'll do it." He said.

Kinall ended ko na saka sinend ang pic nung babae sa kanya.

Hinayaan ko siyang tawagin ako sa pangalan ko.

He was a good friend of mine, and just like my friend he never judge me.

Naalala ko ulit yun ngiti nung babae kanina sa opisina ko bago ito umalis.

Yung parang may alam din siyang katulad ko ang sitwasyon.

Or maybe she was just pretending? To use me?

Ikinuyom ko ang kamao.

We will see about that.
