Chapter 20
"Hm, sort of it means yes,"
She raised her brows.
"No.. I'm not as rich as my parents"
He sounded like he was so humble.
But he really looks like one napaka simple din kasi ng pananamit nito, sabagay kahit naman plain shirt at pants lang ang suot nito ay magaling magdala ng damit si Marco maybe it's because of how he looks and his body.
" hmm,,really so.,if you're rich can you lend me money? "
Biro niya dito and she chuckled.
But Marco's face turned serious as he gazed at her.
" Why? You need money to break off your marriage? "
Bigla itong sumeryoso at napatanga siya dito bakit napasok ang marriage niya sa usapan?
" W-What..? No..-- "
"Adie.. if the problem is money, you don't have to worry I will give you any amount if you need it to break off your marriage just tell me, you don't need to pay for it I will just give it to you if that's the reason why you have to go to an arranged marriage, "
.. paktay! He looked so serious!
" Marco..! Wait., Nagbibiro lang ako!" Pigil niya dito but Marco just stared at her intently na tila hindi na niya madadaan sa pagbawi ang nasabi
" You don't have to be reluctant Adie.. tell me.."binaba nito ang kubyertos.
" I just need your personal information and bank account I will wired it to you--"
"Marco.. wait.. I'm sorry ok? Kung biniro kita but., It's not about the money., It's my responsibility.,"
Tinitigan siya ni Marco.
"The..marriage is your responsibility?" He asked flatly ngunit seryosong seryoso parin ang itsura nito. Pakiramdam tuloy niya ay sumasakit ang ulo niya sa nangyayari.
"Yes., I'm sorry hindi ko na kita ulit bibiruin ng ganito, ok?"
He stared at her without response but.
...why do you look so sullen Marco?
Gusto niyang isatinig ang tanong na iyon dito.
A skeptical look on his face, before he turned his gaze in his plate.
Napakagat labi siya.
"Marco.. I didn't mean it .. I swear.."
She really is apologetic She feels guilty he is more willing to help but it's not about the money siguro nga kung yun ang sagot ay makaka alis na siya sa sitwasyong kinalalagyan niya ngayon.
But that's not the problem and money can't solve this right now.
"Marco.. I'm sorry.. are you mad at me?"
Marco sighed heavily and stared at her emotionless at bumaling ulit ito sa pagkain.
Just like last time, again with this awkward silence between them she didn't know why he needed to act this way.
Pakiramdam niya nawalan narin siya ng gana kaya naman ibinaba niya ang kubyertos niya and she drinks water.
"I'm.. I'm sorry I spoiled your breakfast, I will just stay in the room" at tumayo siya at tumalikod.
"Adie.."she heard him call but she feels so guilty to face him.
She heard the creaking sounds of the chair.
"Adie" and the next thing ay hawak na nito ang braso niya.
He sighed heavily.
"Let's continue our breakfast"
Hinarap niya ito at tiningala.
"I'm sorry., I didn't mean it"
"Yeah, it's ok,. I mustn't act this way., Dapat alam ko kung anong position ko I'm sorry I overstepped my position"
Hindi niya maintindihan ang nararamdaman niya ngayon, she feels guilty but she didn't want to give him false hope.
Marco held her wrist and pulled her pabalik sa dining table at pinaupo siya nito sa upuan.
"Let's eat.." and he smiles napatitig naman siya dito and she forces a smile.
After kumain ay siya na nagpresinta na maghugas ng pinagkainan nila while Marco was sitting on the sofa when they heard an alarm.
Biglang napatayo si Marco at nagmamadaling umakyat papunta sa taas.
Nakaramdam naman siya ng kaba ng, she remembers what Marco set in his program kanina the possible reason kung bakit mag a-alarm.
She feels curious kaya naman lumabas siya sa view deck wala pa siyang natatanaw na Isla ngunit bakit tumunog na ang alarm ni Marco.
"Adie,!" Napatingala siya sa taas Marco is waving at her na umalis sa pwesto niya.
"Get inside!"
Rinig pa niyang sabi nito nakaramdam siya ng kaba at nagmamadaling pumasok sa loob, dumiretso siya sa control room.
And she saw him looking at the monitor it detect something kaya nag a-alarm ito.
Nilapitan niya si Marco.
"What happened?"
Napatingala din siya sa monitor and it blinks red.
"There is a ship coming towards us"
Napatitig siya sa monitor mukhang malapit na nga iyon dahil pumasok na ito sa 200 meter range ng program ni Marco.
"Can the program identify what kind of ship is that?"
"Yeah," and he touched the screen and the image of a ship resized.
The ship has no label, and it's heading towards them.
"Andrea moved 70 degrees north west"
"We are now moving north west" sagot ng system nito and now she can see it the ship is really going towards them.
"Marco.. look!" Turo niya sa papalapit na barko.
But their yacht is already on moving kaya maiiwasan nila iyon.
"Don't worry we will be fine, sa mga dagat minsan ay hindi nawawala ang mga pirata"
"Pirata?!" Akala niya sa mga pelikula lang ang mga iyon.
"Yeah," nilingon siya nito and he looked at her with amusement.
"Don't tell me you didn't believe in pirates"
He chuckled.
And she shook her head.
"I thought they're just real in movies'
And Marco chuckled.
" Well they are real, like this yacht it looks expensive kaya target nila ito that's why I already installed devices and weapons here"
" Weapons? "Hindi siya makapaniwala na napa titig dito.
" Yeah, weapons., Come here "
Marco pulled her papunta sa isa pang pinto sa gilid ng control room.
And she was shocked Marco really amazed her every time.
There are rifles sniper caliber, pistol at marami pang iba.
Napalunok siya"a-are they all licensed?" Di niya maiwasang matanong dito.
Marco chuckled "of course honey they are.,and I'm also licensed to hold all of that weapon so yeah, you will be safe when you're with me so don't worry"
Marco gave her an assuring smile.
She nodded and smiled.
" I believe you won't let me hurt and you will protect me"
Marco faced her and stared at her intently.
" Give me permission to protect you until my last breath, Adie.. "
Her heart pounded fast by his words Marco holds her hands, hindi naman nito kailangan sabihin na hanggang sa huling hininga nito siya po-protektahan.
She wanted him to stay at wag lang itong mapahamak.
"Y-You can protect me., But please stay with me.,and be safe"
Marco smiles at her gently.
" Yes, I will., "He gently kissed the back of her hands while staring at her.
Her heart is going to explode!
Ngunit naagaw ng papalapit na na barko ang atensyon niya.
" Marco! "Tinuro niya ang barko na halos padikit na sa kanila.
Marco sighed heavily.
"Stay here" at tumalikod ito at kumuha ng isang baril at sinuksok sa likod ng pantalon nito.
Nakaramdam siya ng kaba.
"Where are you going?!" Kinakabahan niyang tanong dito.
"I just need to talk to them"
Ngunit hinawakan niya ito sa braso to stop him.
"No!" Marahas siyang umiling she feels nervous.
But Marco gently smiles at her. "Don't worry, As I already told you I already installed weapons here, so I will be safe ok?so wait for me here" Marco gave her a quick kiss on the forehead at lumabas na ito.
She feels nervous habang nakasunod ang tingin kay Marco.
There are men, on the ship na mukhang nakikipag usap nga kay Marco ang mga ito and they are not moving there are almost ten men na lumabas mula sa loob ng barko.
Ngunit maya maya'y umandar na ang barko nang mga ito papalayo.
Nakahinga siya ng maluwag nang makita niya si Marco na pabalik na sa loob.
