Chapter 11: Chapter 11

“What the Fuck! Celine! You move too slowly. We are going to be late! I am going to leave you!” he said, while he was angrily waiting for me inside my condo unit. I am very sure that he is bored, waiting for me.

"Argh! Sir Beks is impatient too much Jerjer."

He gave me too much paper works last night, that’s why I stayed up late last night. Then, the result is, I overslept. I woke up late! Today is our scheduled flight to Japan, my dream country.

"Haaaaaaay. But, now?"It is not just a dream. It will be a dream come true.

“Yes Sir, Here I am. I think you are the one who is too excited about this travel. We still have 4 hours before the boarding time! The airport wouldn’t run from his current position.” I sarcastically told him.

It’s true! Our flight is scheduled for 9:45 AM, yet he was here as early as 5 AM.

He was silent. You've blocked again, boy!

As soon as I finished packing my things up, he then assisted me to put them inside his car. “Wait! I didn’t even have the chance to eat breakfast.”

“We’ll go to a drive-thru fast food, where do you want?”

“Ahhhhmmm, at Mickey D’s!” I exclaimed.

He nodded and I just clapped my hands, happily.

Why? Is it bad? It was a long time since I ate at Mcdo. How ironic.

He then drives the cars, as fast as he can.

At first, I never thought that he has an idea about what’s on the menu. But, I was wrong. He KNEW! He can almost tell

everything in the menu.

I didn’t speak, I just let him order food for us.

What I was concerned about? I was so excited. I am excited about going to Japan!

Setsuna, my love, here I come!

We’ve reached the Tachikawa Airport. My Sir Beks was just sleeping the whole trip, while I was wide awake.

I was just looking at the clouds, smiling.

“Oisst! Beks! Where are we? I can’t read and understand Nihongo.” I asked.

He then chuckled, “There! Did I think your husband here? If you’re going to be lost, I wouldn’t look for you.”

Here, he goes. I want to spank him. Is he didn’t understand? That my husband is just an anime. In short, it was just a

daydream.

We are about to leave the airport when someone went to Sir Beks, wearing a three-piece suit.

I didn’t understand a thing about what they are talking about, they speak very fast and it was NIHONGO!

I went beside Sir Beks, after talking to that guy. That’s when I noticed a group of men that walks away from us.

“Who are they?”

“Security team of the investors.” He said.

Wow! Why does it looks like they are planning to assassinate us?

“Anyway, let’s continue to move. So that we can walk around west Tokyo. I am sure that you are about to walk there

crazily.” He added.

True to his words, we rode a public transport vehicle. Here I am, looking very happily outside the shell train. Why? It is

because the design is an anime.

Many people are waiting, most of them are students. Just like LRT.

LRT is way better than this, the waiting area has a bigger space. But, there is a falls inside it.

I chuckled at that thought.

“Beks, why am I ----“

I froze. When I realized that the man I’m talking with is not here on my side.

Shit! I looked around. But, the crowded people make it hard, even just looking at my feet.

Where is he?

My heart is pounding erratically. I’m dead. Why am I stupid? I walk and walk. Searching for a sign of him. But, to my disappointment, there is no sign.

I didn’t even bother those people whom I bumped to.

What am I going to do? I cannot go back home, to the Philippines. What will happen to my loved ones there? They’ll probably miss me.

What about the person I love? I smiled bitterly.

Oh. Yes! He will not look for me. I bet he is very happy if I will be gone.

I stopped and searched for a seat. But, there is none. Even seats? There is no left seat?

As the moment passed by, no Yjn is looking for me. I cupped my face. Tears keep falling and,i I can’t stop myself from being a crybaby. In the middle of what’s happening to me. Some arms wrap around me.

“GHAD! Celine. Where have you been? Shit! I was looking for you everywhere. I was dead worried. I didn’t know what I am going to do. I even called cops. Shit!”

As soon as I heard that. I cry.

This time it’s not because… I’m hurting, instead coz I’m very happy.

Because of, so much happiness, I took off his arms wrap around me. Then, cupped his face and kiss his lips.

I didn’t know what I am doing. It just feels right, when our lips touched each other. It was like a dream, a dream that you won’t want to be waking up.

I felt that he pushed me away from him.

He looked at me and assisted me.

“Let’s go. You need some rest, I know you’re too tired.”

Is that it? He doesn’t give a fuck?

What am, I? A wall? A wall that he bumped into then, touches his lips to me, then he’ll go as if nothing happens?

Hah! I shook my head.

I won’t lose myself. I need to get a grip.

Even if Sir is into this “hopeful- game”.

Days passed that we’ve stayed in Japan, I learned a lot. Like, the red light district that just looks like Alabang. The food,

called tamagoyaki, is just made up of egg. And some other kinds of stuff….

The whole trip going back to Manila is very awkward, especially since Sir Beks is very quiet. I don’t know, what is he like

that? Are there things that bother him?

When we are in Japan, he is so energetic, full of enthusiasm. He flirts with me and so sweet to me. Hopeful- game.

Recently, he received more calls. Maybe, business matters. But, why is it that I don’t have any idea? I am his secretary. The last time I checked, we already settled things regarding the problems of the new branch built in Japan.

Very confusing.

“Let’s call it a day. I’ll let the driver, drives you to your condo. Don’t be late tomorrow.” He said, then he drove his car away.

I looked at the driver with my eyes full of questions.

He then immediately raises his hands, as a sign that he doesn’t know anything.

“Mhmm!, Ma’am. I don’t know anything. Promise. You can also ask my wife.”

I rolled my eyes, then looked at him with my eyes glaring, “You don’t have a wife, Manong. Don’t fool me.”

He keeps his mouth shut, then drives the car going to SkyRise.

Until I reached my condo, I still think about Sir Beks. What is his problem?

It is obvious to the driver that is lying and awkward about something.

Eventually, I will definitely know what are they hiding.
