Chapter 26: Am I too late?
JAX TRAVIS BUENAVISTA
Ang sakit ng ulo ko. Parang ayokong pumasok. But then her image flashed through my mind that made me get up to my bed.
Papasok ako. Hell with this hangover.
Even with a spinning head, I finished fixing myself.
I immediately went out of my house and got in my car.
Naramdaman ko pa ang pagbiyak ng ulo ko. Damn alcohol. Nahawaan na talaga ako ni Rein, nagmumura na ako. Sa isip nga lang.
I started my engine and drove my car. I dialed a number and put on my air pod.
I can't drive while using my phone.
"Good morning, Sir," bati ng Secretary namin.
"Morning. Did you buy her coffee already?" I ask, as usual. I always make sure she gets to drink her morning coffee. I also didn't know that I can do this. Pero siguro ganito talaga kapag mahal mo. Makita mo lang, buo na araw mo. Damn! Ang corny ko.
Medyo traffic. Ma-la-late pa ata ako.
"Ah, Sir. Wala po si Ma'am. Umalis po siya" sagot niya.
"Where did she go?" I asked.
'Yung kaninang saya at excitement na nararamdaman ko dahil makikita ko na naman siya ay biglang napalitan ng dismaya.
"Italy po. Sa Rome po."
Napapreno ako bigla. Nagsibusinahan naman ang mga sasakyan sa likod ko. Hindi ko sila pinansin.
"W-Why?"
Did she leave dahil ayaw niya na talaga akong makita? Dahil galit pa rin siya sa akin? Ako na nga 'yung umiiwas para mas maging madali sa kaniya. Kahit masakit para sa akin basta nakikita ko siya, okay na ako do'n.
"Hindi ko po alam, e."
"When will she come back?"
"Hindi ko rin po alam."
"Okay." I ended the call. Tinabi ko muna 'yung kotse baka maaksidente pa ako.
Tumungo ako sa aking manibela. Thoughts flowed in my head.
Why did she leave? Is it for business purposes? But why am I feeling scared?
Dahil umalis siya. She left. S-She left me.
My heart left me.
I bit my lower lip as I didn't notice the tears that falls on my hand. It flows nonstop. Nagiging iyakin ako dahil sa kaniya. Pagtatawanan ako ni Pierce pag nalaman niya. Sasabihin nun bakla ako.
Nawala 'yung sakit ng ulo ko, mas ramdam ko 'yung kirot ng puso ko.
Come back, please. Come back to me.

My day ended, but I feel lifeless. I lost my strength.
"Sir, okay lang po ba kayo?" Our secretary asked, looking concerned.
"I'm fine," then I gave her a small smile. I'm actually tired.
This is no good. I need to go to her. I need to see her. I need my strength.
I went straight to Venison Airport. I called them and asked for a private plane. Our family is one of its major shareholders kaya agad nila itong hinanda.
The plane just landed at Leonardo da Vinci International Airport and I immediately got off it.
Hindi ko naman alam na gano'n pala katagal ang byahe mula Pilipinas hanggang dito sa Italy, almost 14 hours. I left the country at quarter to 10 and it's already 12 noon, according to my watch.
