Chapter Twenty Four: Feeling

"WHAT are we going to do?"

"Are he still subborn?"

"Wala tayong magagawa, ganoon talaga ang ugali ng batang iyon."

"Hmp! I told you all! That prick is not gonna listen to us! Just go with my plan para matapos na 'to."

"Kidnap her? Are you nuts?! Pinapanatili na nga nating sekreto ang lahat tapos iyan ang ilalapag na plano mo?" Natahimik naman ang pinagsabihan nito. Lumingon ang lahat sa isang nanatiling tahimik ngunit may mataas na ranggo sa kanilang lahat

"Grandfather."

Nakangalumbaba ang matandang lalaki sa mahabang lamesa, in the middle of silent, a powerful and chilly voice can hear. "If he can't convice her sister, we will do it."

Meanwhile, "Oh. I felt suddenly cold." Raziel suddenly shudder. "Those old hags, especially that old geezer. Talking behind my back, huh?" He suddenly smiled in creepy way

"Do you feel insulted, boss?" Ash, his trusted secretary asked. "I can immediately kill them." The secretary eyes are burning while asking his boss

"Shut up." Raziel looked behind and saw a piles of papers, then sigh. I miss my precious sister

"Yes boss." Bumalik na ang dalawa sa tambak-tambak na gawain na nasa iisang kwarto lamang

EHYA is also in the middle of toasting situation. She can't leave her eyes at the Director wherever he goes. David is only on her sight

"Ehya di ka ba naawa kay, bossing?" Sales who laughing a minute a go, whispered. "Napapagod ako sa ginagawa mo, sa totoo lang." Walang gana itong napahiga sa upuan

Via appeared at her side. "Ehya.." Napatinggin ito sa direksyon ng Direktor na busy sa shoot at nagsalita. "Vanessa already left. You're making Director David uncomfortable." Napalingon ang dalaga dito

"Really?"

Tumango ang babae. "Director is stress but now you're just making it more worse. It's preassuring him, look at how stiff he is!" Tinuro nito ang lalaking parang robot maglakad

She feel guilty. Hindi nya lang naman mapigilan. Pagkatapos ng nangyaring 'closure', ang Direktor ang pumutol ng awkward situation na 'yon. Pagkatapos ay bumalik ang lahat sa dati

Uncomfortable. David didn't deny or accept what she did that made her frown every second she thought it. She's pissed, she don't know. Lalo na makita kung gaano ang Direktor at si Vanessa kaclose dito, something being ripped at her heart

I miss, Elisha. Ito lang ang nagpapagaan sa nararamdaman nya. Ilang araw na din nya itong hindi natatawagan sa lahat ng nangyari. Hindi nadin nya mabilang kung gaano kadami ang sekretong inililihim nya dito

Sinulyapan nya si Director David na nakaupo, busy sa pagbabasa ng script. How many times she saw him like that? His concentration and focus. Always reading the script everytime the shoot will start. Envy. Ehya feel envy at the script...? What? The? Heck?

Napabagsak sya ng upuan na kinagulat nina Sales at Via pero nakatuon sa iba ang atensyon ng dalaga. Kahit narinig at naintindihan nya ang sinabi sa kanya ni Via, she can't help it. He is handsome, sexy and cool when he is focused

From the start, she appreciate how handsome he is, exactly her type. But from her small interaction at him, he made her believe it's not trully him. Ehya finally understand

Director David is, handsome, cool, hardworking, strict and also sharp. However, David is soft, cute, gentleman, and also handsome. But she can't take how curios he is. My imagination is running wild again!

When she saw Vanessa, she understand it... "I am... jealous?"

"Omg! You only realized?!" Mangiyak-ngiyak na napaupo si Sales. "I feel pity at bossing. How hellish future he has."

"Via?" Napansin ng dalaga ang mukha ng kaibigan. Parang nakakita ng multo

"How... shocking. You have innocent side." Pain. And how did she know that her side is full of wild imagination? Iyon lang ang maiisip nya sa sinabi nito. "Obviously, your eyes are burning with desire and lost in the cloud."

Ehya is shock. She's obvious? At alam nila na nagseselos sya? Gosh. Her face turned to red. This is bad. Ang alam ng dalaga ay matitikman nya kaagad ang Direktor at makaalis na sya pagkatapos ng shooting

But change of plan. She is really stubborn. Hindi man lang sya nakikinig sa pinagsasabi ni Elisha na paulit-ulit nitong sinasabi. 'Boundary', 'Don't cross the line', but she full fill the 'Don't be cold' so she's satisfied at this. Atleast, may nasunod aya dito

Sya ang tipong tanggap agad ang mga mangyayari. But she still need to be careful. "Love, huh." She heared a gasp

"I'm gonna faint, Via! Ehya said 'Love'!"

"I heared it, so shut your big mouth." Natahimik naman si Sales ng makita ang ngiti ni Via, tumingin ito kay Ehya. "Kay Director?"

She smile like a fool. "Hehe, halata ba?"

"Argh! I got goosebumps!" Hiyaw ni Sales pero hindi sya pinansin ng dalawa

Hinawakan ni Via ang isang kamay nya. "Hmm, hindi naman kita tatanungin kung alam mo ba talaga ang salitang 'Love' dahil iba't iba tayong klase ng term nyan. Pwede ka mainlove sa unang tinggin, sa kaibigan, sa kaaway o kahit sa hindi kakilala pero kung destiny kayo sa isa't isa, magtatagpo ang landas nyo." Ngumitu si Via. Wow, may pinaghuhugutan. Magkatrabaho lang naman sila ni Direktor, hindi sila lalakbay papuntang langit

Ibang langit nga lang lalakbayin namin sa future, hehehe

"Base sa nakwento mo samin, you need money that's why you are here. But for me, I smell more than that." I'm takot-takot na. "I feel you had some interest at Director David like other, but I'm wrong. Hindi ka kagaya ng iba na susulpot sa tabi nya, mangsisip-sip, manglalandi o magpaplano na ibang ikakapahamak ni Direk. You, you are different." Ehya is touch ar what Via's saying. "You waited patiently. You gave a small bit nice greeting at Director. You respect him. Even you think some disgraceful, you're actions is the proof that you like him."

"Hindi man tayo close, I can read a people base on her/him attitude, speaking, actions and emotions. Napansin ko na may kinikim-kim ka o dinadalang mabigat na hindi mo kayang ipahayag sa iba. You are tense, worried but also enjoy-ing what you doing. And when you're staring or glancing at Director, I can saw it. How passionate you are. How careful you're every move infront of him." Gosh, that's all true!

"Trying to be perfect on Director. Actually, I'm quite shock how bold you are, Ehya. When you admitted the 'closure' without a second thought, you are jealous. Hindi ka takot na ipakita sa iba ang mga galaw mo kung patungol kay Direktor. Kahit iba ang ugali mo, hindi ka nagalin-langan na ipakita ang naiiba mong ugali."

"Tsk, you are you, Ehya. Even you have some problems, we are here. We will help you, all you need is someone who will support you at your every desicions." Singit si Sales, napalinggon ang dalawang babae dito. Seryoso man ang mukha, kita ang supportive sa tono nito

"Sales..." Natouch d–

"At ahahaha! Congratulations in advance nalang sa kasal nyo ni bossing. Kung basted ka naman, hanap nalang ng iba. Madami pa naman dyang sikat na mga Porn Directors! Bwahahaha!"

They both sighed. Sales is really a weird one. Bipolar. Wala na talaga itong pag-asa, sya na mismo ang maglulunod dito sa pool kapag nakakita ito ng makakasama habang buhay

"Tinatamad na ako bilangin kung ilang segundo o minuto sya babalik sa pagiging maingay nyang ugali." Ehya shook her head

"Malalagot yan kay Direk, Ehya. Don't worry may maayos na parusa yan." Ngisi ni Via, nakakatakot man pero a-agree nalang sya

"Bwahahahaha!" Ang walang kaalam-alam na si Sales ay nakaramdam ng sandaling lamig ngunit nagpatuloy lang itong tumawa

"Mr. Sales. Come here."

Rinig ang boses ni Director David hindi kalayuan sa pwesto nila. Napahinto sa pagtawa ang lalaki at alanganing napalingon sa dalawang babae na nagku-kwentuhan na parang walang narinig

"Yes.. boss." Lugmok na naglakad ito papunta sa Direktor. He felt he's gonna die for some reason

"Sales."

"Yes, boss?" He took a gulp. David is staring at Sales like a prey. Feel ko nasa antartica ako pero tinggin ko nasa zoo din ako

Tiniklop ng Direktor ang script bago magsalita. "Your voice is reaching here." My ears

Mabilis na tumango ito. "Yes, boss! Argh... y-yes, boss.." Literal na bumulong ito. Napahawak sa sentido si Director David. He's having a headache coming from that Porn Sculptor, dadag-dag pa ito

"Director David is having a hard time because of Sales." Sabi ni Via

"Ako bahala!" Pipilipitin nya ang lalamunan ng lalaking 'yon para hindi na makatawa pa ng malakas

If Via can hear this, she will surely gasp but at the same time agree and support at Ehya said. Ehya phone suddenly rang. Tumayo sya at nagpaalam kay Via na sasagutin ito. Chineck nya at hindi naman ito ang makulit nyang kapatid kaya sinagot nya ito

"Long time no call, Elisha." Ngumiti sya

"Ehya! Buti sinagot mo. Alam mo ba na tawag ng tawag sayo si Brother Raziel?! Why are you not picking up his call?!"

Call? "I'm sorry. I turn off the notifications because we are busy. Anyway, may chika ako tungkol kay Dire–"

"Ehya! Listen to me, please. This is important."

It's odd. Kahit gaano kagalit si Elisha sa kanya, hindi ito sisigaw na bakas ang galit at pagmamadali. She thought it's something serious. "The mansion?"

Natahimik ang kabilang linya. Bingo. "Y-Yeah. Brother Raziel is extremely worried at you! Hindi mo daw sinasagot ang mga tawag at text nya kaya hindi nya alam kung may nangyari na daw sayong masama."

Ehya's face wrinkled. "I can handle my sel–"

"No, Ehya. You can't. And you can't handle everything. It's much more worse than I thought, than you thought!" Her best friend is clearly on panic. With a soothing voice, she said

"It's okay, Elisha. Calm down. Ipaliwanag mo sa akin, maayos pero maikli." She coudn't waste anymore time if it's that mansion talking about

Kumuha ng hininga si Elisha at kinalma ang sarili. Her voice is still quivering but Ehya clearly heared her. "Brother Raziel and you is in danger. No, I mean. Brother Raziel is more in danger than you."

"What?"
