Knox De Rossi

Chapter Seventeen

PINIGILAN na lang ni Selene si Knox nang kumuha ulit ito ng isa pang mansanas para ibato kay Lieven. Mabuti na lang at nagpaawat ito.

“He`s rude, right? That`s bow he treats his friends,” nakangiting sambit ni Lieven.

“In born kasi talaga `yang ugali niyang ganyan,” dagdag naman ni Selene.

“Hey! That`s too much!” inis na sita ni Knox.

Inirapan na lang ni Selene si Knox at hindi pinansin ang sinabi ng binata. Totoo naman kasi ang sinabi niya na baka in born nga ang ugali nito.

“So, are you here for vacation?” tanong ni Selene kay Lieven.

“Partly. Gusto ko lang ng peace of mind ng ilang araw bago ako umuwi sa Pinas,” sagot naman ni Lieven.

Now that Selene looked at Lieven, she noticed his tired face. Masyado ba itong stressed sa trabaho?

“Because of work?” she curiously asked. Lieven is a businessman, after all, she guessed.

Lieven started shaking his head in disapproval. “No. It`s about something else.”

“Ohh. Okay,” maikling sagot niya.

“It`s because of someone else rather,” Lieven continued.

“May babae ka na pala?” singit naman ni Knox na kanina pa masama ang titig kay Lieven.

“Oo, bakit? Hindi naman pwedeng ikaw lang ang meron,” ani Lieven.

“f**k you. Who`s she? Don`t make me ask Nikolai,” Lieven mumbled.

“Amara. That`s her name,” Lieven replied with a genuine smile pestered on his lips.

Natigilan si Selene sa narinig na pangalan mula kay Lieven.

Amara? Is it possible na `yung Amara na kilala niya ang tinutukoy ni Lieven?
