PART 29

"WHAT?!" Sigaw na sabi ni Von sa ama.

"You heard it right." Deklara ng Chairman. "You will not participate in Today's evening presentation.

Von slammed the table "What the hell Dad! How can you tell me this? I have prepared for this presentation and it's has been my assignment as well and now you're telling me that I'm not going to participate?!" Nasuklay nito ang buhok sa inis sa ama.

Tumango ang Chairman na kalmado parin kahit nangangalaiti na si Von sa galit. "You're Grandfather is attending and I don't want any mess right now Von"

Nagpamaywang si Von and exhale loudly "Wow." He laughs sarcastically. He was speechless at Chairman's reason at nasasaktan siya sa sinabi nito. "You shouldn't have told me to come in the First place." Anang malamig na boses ni Von. "You're very selfish, Dad" Hurt was written in Von's face.

Wala namang sagot ang Chairman at nagsimula nang maglakad papunta sa pinto.

"I hate you Dad" Nakatungong sabi ni Von.

At ang tanging pagsarado na lang ng pinto ang narinig ni Von.

"Tsk." Isang malalim na buntong hininga ang pinakawalan ni Von, his chest feels heavy."Why's everyone rejecting me" Mahinang bigkas ni Von, bakas ang pait sa boses nito.

Napakagat labi ito, he can't help it but tears fall from his eyes.

His heart aches from all the rejections.

Why he always feel so left out.

Von watch from above habang nagpe-present ang mga board member ng kumpanya while sipping his wine.

Nasa ikalawang palapag siyang bahagi ng hall na kung saan hindi gaanong naabot ng liwanag ng mga ilaw.

Kahit ang mga kaibigan niya ay hindi alam kung nasan siya.

When it's Mark turn to present, he silently watch him go on stage.

Then Von's eyes fixed on Amber's back while she happily clapping for her boyfriend.

'How he wishes, he was in his position'

His throat suddenly feels dry as he breath heavily.

'The night feels so long' Anang isip ni Von.

Pagkatapos ng mga presentation ay ang konting salo-salo.

Muling iniikot ni Amber ang tingin sa paligid, pero hindi parin niya Makita si Von.

Nagtataka ang dalaga kung nasan ito.

Naagaw naman ang atensiyon niya ang paglapit ng Chairman sa gawi nila ni Mark.

"Congratulations Mr. Mendez. Job well done for your presentation" Bati ng Chairman kay Mark.

Ngumiti naman si Mark. "Thank you Mr. Chairman. Ahm. I think I haven't formally introduce yet this beautiful lady beside me" Untag ni Mark kay Amber. "This is my girlfriend, Ms. Amber Rodriguez"
