Chapter 6
Lahat ba ng halik ganito?
No one kissed her before kaya hindi niya kayang ikumpara.
"So., What's your answer..,?"
Ni hindi man lang ito tumigil sa ginagawa.
"P-please let me go, we need to talk p-properly.," Nahihirapan niyang sagot dito, paano naman siya makaka pag concentrate sa ginagawa nito?
"No, I won't until you gave me your answer"
She sighed in defeat.
" Ok.."
He was froze in a second at nag angat ng tingin and he stared at her eyes.
" Ok? "
" Y-yeah, I mean yes I will come to you, but I have three condition "
He suddenly frown ngunit tinitigan parin siya nito.
" Spill it"
" After one month we will forget each other, you can't have my phone number, and.. you can't have my real name..''
"One month..so you're giving me one month..?" tila hindi makapaniwalang sabi nito and she nodded.
He look so surprised sa mga sinabi niya na mukhang hindi ini -expect na ganun ang hihingin niyang kondisyon dito.
" Why can't I have your real name? "
Napatitig siya dito
" You don't have too, it's just one month right? And the first condition I have is we will going to forget each other after right?" Seryosong sabi niya dito.
Tinitigan siya nito na tila malalim na nag iisip and he sighed.
" Fine., "
And she smiles.
" Then, it's a deal.,"
But Marco just stared at her with such a blank expression hindi niya mabasa ang emosyon nito but maybe it's just fine with him.
Marco let go of her wrist and moved backwards.
" So let's go.. "
Nangunot ang noo niya.
" Where? "
" Of course to your hotel room, to take your clothes because it's just one month right?and the clock is ticking "
She nodded" yeah of course "at natawa siya iba ang nasa isip niya.
Marco didn't respond he just stared at her and he smile.
But she didn't expect what he did next Marco hold her hands pakiramdam niya ay nahigit niya ang paghinga.
He turned around and started to walk palabas ng private room while she was staring at their hands na magkadaop.
His hands were big and warm habang nilalamig naman ang palad niya.
Pagkalabas nila ng private room Marco left her in a vacant table.
"Wait for me here, I just need to make a quick call ok?"
She nodded obediently.
At tumalikod ito at nagpunta sa staff room.
Habang nakaupo siya at nakatingin sa mga nagsasayaw.
She feels anxious.
'. is it a good decision?..'
'. hindi ko ba pagsisisihan to?..'
'.. maybe not, because this will be my last time to enjoy my life being single..'
Her head was in fog,hindi niya maisip ang tama at mali sa sitwasyong kinasusu-ungan niya ngayon.
'.maybe like what they say I just have to go with the flow..Marco is like a easy going person..and he was so nice..'
She was already locked in responsibility mula ng ipanganak siya, without freedom she just wanted to make her parents proud of her but., Maybe she needs sometime to be happy to enjoy her life being free just now.
"Woah., Looks like this beautiful lady is alone.," someone blocked her view habang nanonood sa mga nagsasayaw at nagsalubong ang kilay niya at napatingala.
It was three man na ngiting ngiti na nakatitig sakanya and without permission sat in the vacant chair infront of her.
"Need company Miss?" sabi ng isang lalaking kulot.
But she didn't respond she just glared at him.
"Oh mataray pare.." sabi din ng lalaking naka baseball cap.
"Hm, maybe we will stay with you, miss it's not safe to be alone--"
" If you wanted here, ako nalang ang lilipat" she coldly spout.
But someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her back para maupo nauubusan na siya nang pasensya.
" Let me go" pagbabanta niya,at oras na hindi siya bitawan ng mga ito ay wala siyang magagawa kundi labanan ng mga ito.
But someone banged in their table at base sa tattoo nito sa likod ng palad ay kilala na niya kung sino iyon.
"She's with me" Marco's voice is cold and intimidating at napatingala siya dito.
Marco stared from her down to her arms na hawak hawak ng lalaking pumilit sakanya maupo.
At bumalik ang tingin nito sakanya and she looked at him with puppy eyes na tila nag papa awa.
"Oh., Akala namin wala siyang kasama" binitawan siya ng lalaki.
"Moved.." Marco looks intimidating while commanding the man to get out of his way he glared at the man na katabi niya ng upuan.
Bigla namang napatayo ang lalaki sa itsura ni Marco at hinawakan ang upuan, and throw it na lumikha ng ingay at agaw ng atensyon ng iba.
Kita niya ang takot sa mga mata ng mga lalaki.
Marco is big at naka tingala pa ang mga lalaki dito.
At lihim siyang napangiti.
When Marco offered his hands on her and she accept it and stand.
Just his stares makes these men's quiver.
And she stared at him and smiles sweetly.
"Are you done?" Hindi niya alam kung bakit hindi siya natakot dito.
"Yes,"
"Then ok, let's go"
They turned around at iniwan ang mga lalaking tulala.
Hanggang makalabas sila ng bar ngunit hindi niya mapigilang matawa Marco looked at her na nakakunot ang noo.
"Why are you laughing?"
She just can't help it.
"It's just., The look on their faces tells that., We should back off" pinalaki pa niya ang boses na tila lalaki at binuntutan ng tawa.
Marco suddenly stop walking and stares at her amusingly.
"Like your voice sounds like a thunder., Pati ako nagulat but still composed my self and try not to laugh because they were already shivering and it will kill happiness if I laughed" hindi parin niya mapigilang matawa still remembering the faces of those three men.
"You aren't afraid of me?" Nag taas ito ng kilay.
"Why would I?" Nagtatakang tanong niya dito.
Marco stared at her intently at natawa din.
"You're such an unbelievable woman" naiiling nitong sabi at hinawakan ulit ang kamay niya and pulled her papunta sa hotel niya.
"So.. you're the owner of that bar?"
She was curious because of his attitude and he can access the private rooms of the bar kasama pa boss ang tawag dito ng mga staff.
Nagkibit balikat ito.
"Ahm, something like that"
"What do you mean?" napaisip siya sa sagot nito.
He pulled her papasok ng elevator.
"Which floor?"
"38th"
And he pressed the button.
"Marco what do you mean by something like that, you're a co owner?"
"A share holder"
Napa 'oh'siya.
She has no idea who owned this Island when she research about the best place to stay and the safest place ay ito ang lumabas she hates public place and this Island is just perfect for her, syempre hindi nawawala ang mga gulo but as long as it is labelled as the safest resort it's fine lalo na sa mahal ng accomodations dito na siguradong mayayaman lang ang may kayang mag afford.
This Island was also suggested by her secretary na si Alicia because you can't enter this place without invitation and Alicia's husband is a member kaya naman nakakuha siya ng slot para nakapasok.
"Who invite you here?" Balik tanong nito but she just shake her head.
She can't tell him.
"I'm sorry but it's all a secret" natawa ito but he didn't speak.
He will never know, because you're not obliged to put your real name on the list.
Ms. Adie yun lang ang nilagay niya sa application even a contact number ay hindi siya naglagay.
The real purpose ay para hindi siya mahanap ng daddy niya at buti nalang at ganun ang ginawa niya dahil kasama na si Marco sa mga taong hindi pwedeng makaalam ng tunay niyang pagkatao.
The elevator open at dumiretso sila sa room niya, she pushed the door and enter kasunod niya ito.
Marco sat comfortably in her bed.
"Aayusin ko lang gamit ko"
And dumiretso siya sa kabinet para kunin ang mga damit inubos na niya iyon iniisip kasi niyang baka hindi na siya bumalik dito sa isla after one month baka ibang destination naman siya bago umuwi sa kanila bago ang kasal.
Ngunit paglingon niya Marco was now laying comfortably in her bed.
"Really Marco?" Nakataas ang kilay niyang tanong dito.
"This bed of yours smell just like you."
Her heart beats fast again at napalunok siya.
Kung sa ibang lalaki siguro ay mababastusan na siya pero hindi niya alam bakit kay Marco ay hindi.
"O-of course I sleep there" nagkunwari nalang siyang nag aayos ng gamit sa bag niya at tumalikod dito iniisip kung may naiwan pa ba siya ngunit wala na siyang maisip kaya naman sinara na niya ang bag.
"I'm done--"
But Marco grabbed her bag from behind her at hindi siya nakagalaw sa gulat because he almost hugging her.
"You're done..?"
He was so close ramdam niya ang matigas na dibdib nito sa likod niya ang his warm breath in her face.
