Chapter 24
Napatanga naman ang dalawang lalaki sa harap niya.
" You mean, your father chose Marco for you? "Benedict ask her flatly.
And again she shook her head.
" I chose to be with him "at sa sinabi niya ay gumuhit ang ngiti sa labi ni Marco.
" This bastard is so lucky! "Naiiling na sabi ni Benedict.
" Yeah, it's so effortless right?he was always surrounded by beautiful women, anywhere he goes and speaking of woman I saw Mara she's here "bumaling si Knight kay Marco.
But Marco just took a plate for her.
" Oh, that's the reason she's been calling nonstop" Marco responded nonchalantly.
Marco took some vegetables salad at nilapit sakanya and he glanced at her and slightly smiled.
Ngumiti din siya
... Marco already knows that I like vegetables salad.
" Can I have peanut sauce "imporma nito sa waiter and the waiter nodded at tumalikod.
" She's still inlove with you, Marco" tila siguradong sigurado sabi ni Benedict.
" Yeah, obviously "sagot naman ni Knight.
But Marco just smirked but he didn't response to them.
" Sabagay, kung ako lang din si Marco and I'm with a beautiful woman, I will ignored Mara" natatawang sabi ni Benedict.
Na bumaling sakanya.
"Anong pinakain sayo ni Marco?" Birong tanong ni Knight sakanya.
"Hey, shut the hell up!" Putol ni Marco kay Knight.
But Knight chuckled.
"You have no idea, Adie Marco is an a**hole, he is such a bad*ss such a big red flag" pananakot pa ni Knight.
"Yeah, Adie aren't you afraid of him? getting close to him is not a good idea" gatong pa ni Benedict.
"Are you two still wanted to leave this place breathing?" Banta ni Marco sa mga ito na lalo lang natawa.
"See? That's Marco.,so if you still have time to run, you should starts running away from him" Pananakot ni Benedict.
But Marco just give her rice at inabutan siya ng ulam.
"Thank you" and she smiles at Marco.
"The two of you,.will you stop talking?" Binalingan ni Marco ang dalawang lalaki.
Na tawa ng tawa.
"Well what can you say Adie?" Tila hindi man lang sineryoso ang banta ni Marco.
Maybe yes, and she already saw it when Marco fight those men in the bar back in Cataleyah, iba ang galawan nito at sa tingin niya Marco can kill a person by his strength and movements but it doesn't matter to her.
"Well.. I don't care.. for me it doesn't matter, because he was so kind and nice to me, actually he accompanied me, he's a gentleman and I was with him in his yacht"
Kita niya ang pagkagulat sa mukha ng mga ito na tila hindi makapaniwala sa sinabi niya.
"Marco is nice?!"bulalas ni Knight.
"Kind?!" Hindi rin makapaniwala si Benedict.
"Gentleman?!" Ulit parin ni Knight.
Halos hindi makapaniwala ang dalawang lalaki but Marco just smirked and gave them his satisfying smiles.
Hindi na nakapagsalita ang dalawang lalaki na nakangiti nalang at nagbubulungan na tila hindi makapaniwala sa mga sinabi niya.
"dude.. anung pinakain mo sakanya..?"natatawang tanong ni Knight at natawa nalang si Marco he look so proud of himself at hindi niya maiwasang matawa.
Habang nagsimula na silang kumain.
"Your father, was looking for you Marco" bigla siyang napabaling kay Knight.
"I don't care" simpleng sagot ni Marco.
"Oh, the war of both of you is already out of control" naiiling na sabi ni Knight.
"Knight, he choose this kind of situation so I don't care, me and mom can live on our own now and we don't need him" Marco's voice is cold and bitter at hindi naman siya nagsalita
.. so he hasn't had a good relationship with his father.
"As far as I know he was willing to, give you his position as his--"
"Stop it Knight, I don't want to hear anything about him," at hindi narin nagsalita si Knight.
At pakiramdam niya ay biglang bumigat ang paligid.
So she took some salad with her barehands again and dipped it in the peanut sauce at iniumang sa bibig ni Marco napabaling ito sakanya but she smiles at him sweetly.
And Marco stared at her and open his mouth and accept the food.
Napabaling naman silang dalawa sa dalawang lalaki na sabay na humagikgik.
"Can we try it too?" Dumukwang si Benedict and smile at her.
"I wanted to try it too" sabat din ni Knight.
"Sure" ngumiti siya and push the bowl of salad to them.
"Oh, can you please feed me?" Nagpapacute na sabi ni Knight.
"Me too please feed me" nakangusong sabi naman ni Benedict.
But Marco glared at those two men.
"I will feed you with punch you want?" Marco ask sarcastically to the both men.
At napa tikhim naman si Knight at kumuha ng salad nito at sinawsaw at kinain mag isa.
"Oh, how sweet of me" di niya mapigilang matawa.
Ganun din ang ginawa ni Benedict.
"Oh, it's taste great I already love myself" at tuluyan na siyang natawa sa mga ito.
Their dinner continue hanggang matapos sila, magkakasabay silang tumayo at umalis sa restaurant ngunit pasakay palang sila ng golf cart ay biglang may babaeng tumatakbo na dumaan sa harap niya at biglang niyakap si Marco na tila nagulat din.
"Marco... I missed you.. I'm so happy to see you here.."
She froze in a while, the woman is taller than her she has a beautiful body and long blonde hair and she's wearing a brown dress na halos hanggang tenga ni Marco ang tangkad nito habang hanggang baba lang siya ni Marco..
"Mara.."
"Yes.. It's me.. I miss you Marco"
But Marco didn't pushed the woman.
Ngunit napabaling sakanya si Marco at hinawakan nito ang balikat ng babaeng tinawag na Mara and pushed her na tila ikinagulat nito, Marco massage his temple.
Hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit parang may sumikdo sa dibdib niya habang nakatitig sa mga ito.
"Marco.. why? You didn't missed me..?" Malambing ang boses ng babae at malaya niyang napagmasdan ang mukha nito and indeed this woman is beautiful.
"Mara, I have a company" at unti unting lumingon sakanya ang babae at nagsalubong ang kilay.
And she forced a smile.
"Hi.." bati niya dito.
"Who is she?" Bumaling ito kay Marco.
"Ahm, don't worry miss, we are just friends" agad na sagot niya.
Nilingon ulit siya nito and smile at her.
"Oh, thank God.. I thought pinagpalit na ako ni Marco" and she smiles at her sweetly.
She smiles back ngunit nabaling ang tingin niya kay Marco and he has a blank expression on his face whilst staring at her at hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit ganito ang nararamdaman niya sa titig ni Marco.
"Can we talk later?" Tiningala ni Mara si Marco at tinitigan naman ito ni Marco and he sighed.
"Ok," tipid na sagot nito.
"Ok, I will wait for you in my room you know where is it right?" Malambing na tanong ni Mara dito.
"Yeah, ihahatid ko muna si Adie sa room"
"Ok," and Mara smiles sweetly.
Marco rode the golf cart.
"C'mon Adie" seryosong binalingan siya nito.
And she ride beside him and she smiles at Mara bago umalis ang sasakyan nila at naiwan si Mara na nakangiti.
Wala silang kibuan hanggang makarating sila sa hotel hinawakan niya si Marco sa braso at napatitig ito sakanya.
"You can leave now, I know how to get in our room so it's fine you should go and talk to her" and she smiles ayaw niyang ipakita dito na apektado siya sa nakita niya.
But Marco didn't respond at embes ay tinanggal nito ang kamay niyang nakahawak sa braso nito at pinagdaop ang mga palad nila napasunod ang tingin niya sa mga kamay nilang magkadaop and he pulled her papasok sa elevator. Hindi nito binitawan ang kamay niya hanggang makarating sila sa room nila his hands was so warm and big.
He even open the door for her at pumasok siya sa loob.
"It's fine Marco you can leave thank you sa paghatid mo sakin"
"Ok" he response coldly at tinalikuran siya he rode the elevator again at bago magsara ang elevator they are both staring at each other.
