Coming back to you

"HELLO?"  I opened the other line.  It's already ten o'clock in the morning in Italy. I frowned at it because I was annoyed today.

"Hello, Ms. Marquez. Long time no call..." I gasped in the air when I heard what he said on the other line.

Look who this is on the other line. 

"Oh, Mr. Wilson. What brought you to call in the middle of the morning?"  I said forcefully while raising my voice.

Wherever I had a bad trip today, this arrogant older man will add even more.

"I want to inform you that Mr. Villaurel set a meeting on Friday. This week, 9:00 am,"  he says straight, no fuss, straight to the point.

I was shocked to hear what he said.  "What ?! Why ?! That was so fast! How could I book a flight to the country if my visa isn't ready yet!"

Why the speed of events?  Is it because my dear husband is too busy to meet me?  And that's just how he set up a meeting with me?

My dear husband?  Tsk. How pathetic!

"Will, it's not my problem anymore, Miss Marquez... That's the final discussion of Mister Villaurel with me. I'm out there; I don't have that problem anymore. The important is, I do my job."

I sighed, and my hands clasped.  The pride of this older man!  I want to punch him in the face. 

"Then, thanks for doing your job, Mister Wilson. I could fix it. Bye!"  My tongue twitched at the same time, pressing the end call on my cell phone.

I stared at the emptiness as I clenched my lower lip with my teeth.  I'm disgusted at these times, how it could be!

Are you kidding, Cedrick Villaurel?

I was looking at the door of my office when it suddenly opened.  Andrew's face lit up, which made me wonder.

"I heard your shout at my office. What's the matter?"  He laughed at the question as he stared at me.

"Mister Wilson called a while ago..."

"And?"  He seemed to ignore me, and that made me annoyed even more.

When I see that older man, I will make him bald!  Annoying!   He didn't help.

"He said that Cedrick Villaurel set a meeting with me on Friday, 9:00 in the morning!"  I panicked and told him.

I do not know if I will arrive in the Philippines immediately tomorrow because my visa has not been fixed yet.  How nice!

"Don't worry about it; I got your visa a while ago. So we can go home to the Philippines tomorrow..." he smiled at me as he handed me the paper he was holding. 

My visa.

I could think of him before the paper he handed me.  I immediately took it; then I looked at him again in surprise.  "How did you get my visa right away?"

"It's because of my uncle. Don't worry, that's legal. My uncle is the Attorney. He took care of that. So, no worries."  He made a solemn promise while still looking at me.

I took a deep breath and lost the nervousness in my chest.  "Thanks, Andrew. We will continue to return to the country."  I replied while sitting in the swivel chair.

"Yes, and nothing can stop us. Well, good luck to you..." He could interpret.

I'm going back to the country to get revenge for my husband. For making my life miserable. If he hadn't been with a woman that night, I wouldn't have had an accident, and I would not have been separated from my two children.

So, I'm going back for good... for my revenge. It's now or never.

"I'm lucky, Andrew; I will make sure when I return. I can take revenge on him, on the man who destroyed my world..." I said seriously as I stared at the emptiness.

I noticed Andrew's smile then he shook his head. "You're in a different class too, aren't you?"

"I know. So, tomorrow we will go home to the country so that I can have another day of preparation for the two of us to face each other again..." I smiled as I clasped my hands.

"Oh, yes. I booked a flight to the country, then." He shook his head as he took the phone out of his pocket.

I leaned back in my swivel chair while smiling...

Well, see you, on Friday my dear husband. Wait for my revenge... I couldn't wait to see you suffer...

Cedrick's Point of View

"Bro, you've been looking at your phone for a while, ah? Are you waiting for a call?"  David commented to me when he noticed that I was staring straight at the phone.

I am here now in my office, and it is Friday.  I don't know, but it looks like I was nervous this morning. I don't know why.

"I'm just asking, why are you two here in my office again? Do you have no job, and are you bothering me here?"  I frowned at them, and Deigo turned his head towards me.

"Seriously, bro? After all we've done to you, will you repay it ?! What kind of friend are you, huh? Do you have no mercy? Fuel is expensive now, so it costs us a lot to go here! So thank you, bro. Have mercy on us! We are already suffering-- "

David suddenly punched him, causing him to stop speaking.  I was just shaken by the two of them.

"Is that the same, bro? With that wealth of yours, you complained about buying gasoline?"  David's trembling language.

Deigo, on the other hand, was against him, and David punched him.  "Why, gasoline is expensive now! Instead of just buying that food, I just bought gasoline. So that we can visit Cedrick, but it looks like he doesn't want to. So what a waste of fuel I have!  Let's leave! "

I laughed, looking at them while shaking.  My abnormal friends.  "Thank you for your concern for me, so I'm happy because you became my friend."

They both looked at me.  "Is that true, bro? Nothing to lose?"  Deigo asked me a question.

"Yes--"

I looked at my phone when it suddenly rang.  I immediately lifted it and then answered the one on the other line.

"Hello..."

"Hello, Mister Cedrick. You are already in the conference room; you are meeting..." My secretary said on the other line.  It's Friday, and now it's time for me to meet my meeting partner.

"Okay, I just got there after 5 minutes." I just said.

"Okay, sir."

I hung up the phone and then turned to David and Deigo.  "I still have a meeting; wait for me here. It just takes three hours then, if you wait for me."

"Alright, bro. Deigo and I will try you; we have nothing to do .." David replied quickly.

"Okay, thanks."  I immediately adjusted my tie then took my black attache case, then headed for the door to go out.

I immediately felt a strange nervousness as I walked into the conference room.

When I got there, my secretary immediately opened the door for me.  I looked around the conference room, looking for my meeting partner today.

I lost sight of a printing woman sitting in a swivel chair.

In an instant, I let go of the attached case I was holding.

"Hi, long time no see..."

"E-ena?"

"Yes, the one and only ..."

Is she this?  No way!  She's dead, isn't she?  How could it be?
