A LOVE TO LUST

Chapter 6

"Aalis po kayo, ma'am Farrah?"

Tiningnan ni Farrah ang kaniyang kasambahay na buhat-buhat ang laundry basket na naglalaman ng kaniyang mga damit. At dahil sa tanong nito ay napatingin s'ya sa maletang hawak n'ya.

"Can you please bring this to my car?"

Nagmadali itong ilapag ang bitbit na laundry basket at saka kinuha sa kamay n'ya ang maleta n'ya. It is now 12 am and her flight would be at exactly 2 am. While taking the stairs, she simply roam her eyes around their huge house.

For her, it doesn't make sense living in this kind of house. It was big as hell yet quite that seems to be nobody's in here. No one would notice if somebody's gone or something. It wasn't a home. It never was.

Dumiretso s'ya palabas nang makababa ng hagdan. Agad n'yang pinindot ang susi ng kaniyang sasakyan upang bumukas ang trunk at mailagay ng kaniyang kasambahay ang kaniyang gamit.

"Ma'am, kapag po magtanong ang mommy at daddy ninyo kung nasaan---"

"They won't ask." Malamig n'yang tiningnan ang kasambahay nang putulin n'ya ang sinasabi nito.

Napatigil ang kaniyang kasambahay at hindi na ito ulit nagsalita pa. Pumasok s'ya sa driver seat ng kaniyang sasakyan saka binuhay ang makina. Mula sa side mirror, nakita n'ya ang pagtakbo ng kasambahay upang pagbuksan ang malaking gate.

Hindi naman s'ya nahirapan dahil kapag ganitong oras ay mabibilang na lang din ang mga sasakyan na dumadaan. Naging mabilis lang para sa kaniya ang pagpunta sa kung nasaan ang eroplano na maghahatid sa kaniya papunta sa lugar na 'yon.

A lot of people are coming in and out of that place and her being so busy and occupied with her activities never heard such place. Nakita n'ya agad ang malawak na ngiti ng isang guard na nagbibigay instruction kung saan n'ya ipapasok ang sasakyan.

"Ma'am, I.D na lang po ninyo," saad nito nang buksan n'ya ang bintana ng sasakyan.

She handed her identification card and watched the guard doing his job.

"Okay na po, ma'am. Number 15 po," sabi pa nito ng ibalik sa kaniya ang kaniyang ID.

Agad n'yang minaneho ang kaniyang sasakyan papunta sa sinasabi nitong parking number. And the moment she opened her trunk, someone in uniform approached her and got her luggage.

"Sumunod na lang po kayo ma'am. Iche-check in lang po ang luggage ninyo," sambit nito.

And because this is her very first time being in this place, she just followed without asking a thing. This is not a public plane and so, she doesn't have to wait for boarding announcement and she was right. She immediately was adviced to get into the plane and in 30 minutes, they will be leaving the area.

Farrah slowly opened her eyes when she felt someone talking right beside her ears. She said down properly when she saw the face a a cabin crew smiling on her.

"I am sorry for waking you up, ma'am." Agad na sambit nito nang makita nitong gising na s'ya. "But our captain already announced that we are about to land in a few minutes. Please wear your seatbealt on."

Bahagyang tumaas ang kilay n'ya sa narinig at mabilis na hinanap ng kaniyang mga kamay at mga mata ang seatbelt.

"Oh. Yeah, sorry. Thank you," aniya rito.

Hindi na napansin ng dalaga ang sunod na naging kilos ng cabin crew dahil agad n'yang itinuon ang kaniyang buong atensyon sa bintana ng eroplano. May iilan lang na guest ang laman ng plane dahil hindi naman din ito kasing laki ng mga public transpo na plane ng mga airline.

Hindi pa man s'ya tuluyang nakakababa at nang marinig n'ya ang in-announce ng cabin crew kung anong lugar ang nakikita nila ay talaga namang namamangha s'ya sa ganda. Sobrang ganda nito.

"....we are approaching Haven Island."

Iyon lamang ang sa haba ng sinabi ng crew ang tinanggap ng tainga n'ya. Ewan ba n'ya at tila wala sa loob ng eroplano ang atensyon n'ya talaga.

She doesn't know what to really feel. She can feel the excitement within her but she could also feel the nervousness and blank in her mind. She didn't even tell Lore where she is going and when she will be back but for Lore, she knows that she would have a bit of an idea about her come back. She will never be gone during their internship.

While the plane is approaching to land, Farrah still has her eyes locked at the outside. She was amazed how grassy the place is and how green it is. Well, she could still see some of like this at the Manila, it's juts that, it doesn't seem like it.

It looks peaceful and that is something made it different.

"Welcome to Haven Island." Nakangiting saad ng isang babae nang pababa na ang lahat nang pasahero mula sa plane.

"Are we now going to the resort?" Hindi n'ya napigilang itanong sa babae na nagsalita kanina.

Nasa mukha pa rin nito ang malawak na ngisi habang tumatango, "yes, ma'am. The Villas are waiting for you all."

This was the thing that amazes her more. The resort at the island. Hindi naman din s'ya sure kung alam ba ni Lore ang tungkol sa resort na 'to pero sa tingin n'ya naman ay oo.

She would've ask Lore to come but doesn't just feel like having someone she knew in this trip. She just wanted to breathe for some few weeks and such. Besides, after this, she will be facing the reality of life once again.

Her, being the Farrah Bressett, whom everyone expected to Ace in everything is not that light. It was heavy as f uck that she would want to get out of it. She could but she won't survive if she's not going to do it smartly.

Maybe in this lost place, she can ve someone she can never be when in Manila — sorrounded with people that looks at her with perfection. With no rooms for mistakes and all.

"Welcome to Haven Resort, ma'am." Salubong sa kaniya ng isang staff.

She would know that this woman is a staff because she was wearing a uniform that says about it.

"Thank you," she responded and tried to plaster a smile on her face.

"Sa lobby na lang po tayo, ma'am for your information po."

Tumango s'ya sa sinabi nito at saka sumunod na nga rito. Hila-hila naman ng isang lalake na nakasunod sa kanila ang kaniyang luggage.

She was just asked with few personal info and she was good to go.

She wasn't wrong about this place. She wasn't disappointed at all. No disappointed can be felt in here. While following the staff to the Villa for her, she couldn't deny the fact that all her life, she never felt this excited before.

Tuwang-tuwa s'ya habang binabaybay nila ang tulay papunta sa kaniyang cabin. The floating cabin.

At ngayong nakita na nya ito, hindi -- dahil ito mismo ang nagpakita sa kanya hindi para magpakilala kundi ay para pabagsakin sya at pagbayarin.

Masakit. Dahil ang babaeng matagal na nyang hinahanap na nagpabago ng sistema nya at ang babaeng natutunan na nyang mahalin ay iisa, at kinamumuhian sya.

Zero is more that determined to justify that he wasn't the kidnapper. Pero masakit parin isipin na sya ang totoong nag rape dito. And the twins, they are the proof. Hindi pa nya ito sinasabi sa kapatid dahil alam nyang masasaktan ito.

In order to save one important, you have to sacrifice other important. In order let the other live you have to kill the others.

Everyone's afraid just to hear the name of Zeke Rothstein, but all this time there's someone out there playing him ooh not just him, because the Zarviente's part of the game. Why?

Ng makaalis sya sa Sierra at dumiretso sya condo nya, pero laking gulat nya nang pagdating nya doon ay nakita nya ang komportableng si Keanna habang naka dikwatrong nakaupo sa sofa nya.

"What are you doing here? How did you get here?" sa tono ng pananalita nya may diin ito pero ngumisi si Keanna.

Ngising malandi at nang-aakit.

"I came here because I miss you" maarteng sabi nito habang naglalakad palapit sa kanya.

O.O

Zero's eyes widened when Keanna brushed her lips to his out of know where at mabilis nya itong itinulak.

"f**k! What the hell was that?" Singhal nya dito na ikinainis ng dalaga.

"Akin ka Zero! Mula noon akin ka! Kaya ngayon akin ka parin, at hindi ako papayag na mapunta ka sa malan-----"

*pak*

Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Keanna at napahawak sa pisngi nya. Hindi makapaniwalang napatingin sya kay Zero na ngayon ay hindi rin makapaniwala sa nagawa. He's looking to his hand and it's shaking.

Zero look away and then look at her with anger.
