Hi there miss Madith Martije❤️
Dedicated to all my silent readers. Thank you for alway reading.
I appreciate it a lot ❤️?
"Hoy pako, kapag ako nabunging hayop ka, lintik na lang ang walang ganti! At bakit ka ba naka tanga lang diyan sa unahan? Baka gusto mo akong tingnan at nang makita mo kung may bukol ako sa mukhang kabayo ka!" inis na sambit ni Fatima.
Well, she speaks like this, masyado siyang prangka, minsanan lang siyang magsalita, subalit iba ang tabas ng dila niya. And to think that this man doesn't care how she delivers words makes her wondering. Most especially when she got startled or when she's freaking out, she cusses a lot, and that's why she doesn't have a lot of friends.
Unfortunately, she just have one friend s***h best friend. But for her, having one true friend is better than having a lot pero sila sila lang din ang naglalaglagan sa bandang huli. And she's not fond on that other way of dealing with friends.
Truth, facts and loyalties are the ones which is the most important thing on her book. Plasticity and faking someone's feelings is not suitable for her.
She almost hit her face dahil sa bigla nitong pag preno. At ngayon naman ay parang wala sa sariling naka tunganga lang sa kawalan!
" Paakkkoooo! " tili niya. While MN look at her, clearing his throat and swallowing hard, Fatima doesn't know if his brain is still functioning or not.
Para itong natuklaw ng ahas na hindi niya malaman. "Ano ka ba?!" sambit niya, then she snap her finger three times on his face, enough for him to blink.
"You called me Bautista" sambit nito, Fatima doesn't know if he's talking to her, o sa sarili nito.
Para kasi itong nagmula sa malalim na panaginip at parang wala sa sarili. Taas kilay siyang tumitig sa lalaki.
"So? Nobody calls you that? No one called you the way I did?!" aniya na naka ngisi. "Don't forget, I called you pako too" she added, saka hinaplos ang noo niya para tiyakin kung wala nga siya talagang gasgas. "Shhh, I almost ruined my face—'eto na nga lang meron ako e!" maktol niya.
"Why pako?" MN said, wondering why she suddenly calls him like that. Hindi pa nga siya nakaka move on sa pagtawag nito sa kanya sa family name niya, heto na naman, may bago na ulit.
MN, who is wondering why he had chills the way she called him is staring at Fatima —waiting for her answer. It's so nice to hear tho. Damn! What am I? A teenager?! Halos pagalitan na niya ang sarili sa mga nangyayari sa kanya. Sound so sexy—and i love it.. She called him the way a man want his woman to address 'em.
She's so cute, calling him Bautista is something like calling him' honey' for him, awakening the inner 'MN' that didn't come out yet.
Hindi niya alam kung bakit pagdating sa babaeng 'to, nawawala ang pagka strikto niya. The MN he used to be, the MN who' smiles and defeat ' doesn't exist in his life is gone in front of this woman.
He doesn't used to this. Chills, butterflies everytime she's talking, everytime he hears her voice. Every time she addresses him sa kung ano ano lang.
"Your name is Mark Neil, right?" Fatima breaks the silence. She's having some sort of feelings that she couldn't name, so she breaks the tension the way she know.
MN nodded.
"Call me Mark, or Neil —whatever you want, honey will be much more appreciated" MN said, smiling.
But unfortunately, Fatima didn't buy it.
"Neil, anong tagalog ng Neil?" sambit niya habang hinahaplos ang noo.
"I don't know, my name is N-E-I-L —" he even spelled his name to her.
"Neil and nail is just the same when you say it. It's pako. Pako. P. A. K. O—pako, okay?" Fatima said while stretching her arms, giving him the looks of 'understood' kind of brows raise.
MN mouth parted when realization hit him, watdapak? He cusses more, but all in all, he chuckled, not because she is mocking him but because he found it cute. Did she just made nick name for me? Seriously? Pako pa talaga?
"Guwapo naman" sambit niya saka nagmaneho.
"Babaero naman" Fatima said, shrugged off her shoulders.
"Hindi a. Sino naman ang nagsabi niyan sa'yo? Bakit, kilala mo ba naman ako niyan? Sambit ni MN habang nakatingin sa kalsada.
" Sabi nung anak ng senador daw" sambit ng kasama.
"Bakit nga pala nagalit siya sa'yo? At huwag na huwag kang maniniwala sa sabi sabi lang, nakaka sira lang ng araw" sambit ni MN.
"Aba'y hindi ko alam sa kanya, bumalik ka do'n at tanungin mo kung gusto mong malaman ang dahilan"
Ang taray naman nito. MN said to his self while smiling. Yeah, it's confirmed, he is now suffering from mental issues —'smiling without sufficient cause' kind of illness.
"Nobody informed me that this days, saying and revealing the truth is a crime. And to think that I just stated the fact— makapag google nga mamaya" Fatima said, MN chuckled and drives.
They continued road trips, kung saan saan lang sila napadpad hanggang sa sumapit ang hapon,and it's time for Fatima to go back to the restaurant.
After that, Fatima went home. Gusto siyang ihatid ng binata pero umayaw na siya. And she's thankful that he oblige because if he didn't, then she will keep on torturing herself.
Just by having him near her making he mind in turmoil and she doesn't want it. She needs space. His car is to small for the two of them.
Katakot takot na pagtitimpi ang ginawa niya para hindi siya tumitig sa guwapo nitong mukha. She even shut her eyes off habang nakikipag daldalan sa binata, binata pa kaya? Yeah, right. She's now friends to herself, because she keeps on talking with her inner mind.
In her mind, his parents will not give him blind dates if he is already married or taken. Lalo siyang naging hot tho. She tssk on the thoughts that keep popping up on her head.
"Lang'ya naman o" Fatima murmurs habang nakatutok ang mata sa computer nito.
They sold their house, the house na naipundar niya sa pagtatrabaho abroad. They need to, because if they don't do it, mawawala na ang padre de pamilya nila.
Her father is suffering from kimd of illness and he needs to have surgery as soon a possible daw sana, ang kaso, wala naman siyang sapat na pera para doon.
And it's true that she graduated with flying colors, but she couldn't find it worthy because she couldn't find a job. In this generation, you couldn't find an stable job kung wala kang kapit.
So sad, but sometimes, it's the truth. And she doesn't have anyone to back her up. So, she ended working abroad. Now, on the restaurants and bar that she doesn't even know who is the owner.
Sa managers lang sila naka depende, minsan naiisip nila kung anong klasemg tao ba ang may ari ng mga gusaling pinagtatrabahuan nila.
The next morning, habang abala siya sa pagtitingin ng mga orders, the manager called her from the kitchen and grabbed her wrist to come out.
Napa kunot noo siya ng mapag sino ang tao daw na naghahanap sa kanya. It's MN. She went to his table, and act like a good waitress while in her mind, she wanted to smile.
"Hi" MN said. Hindi niya alam kung bakit hindi siya makapag salita ngayon, samantalang ang dami niyang gustong sabihin sa dalaga.
"What's your order sir?" anang Fatima.
"You" sambit ni MN na ikinapinid ng labi ng dalaga.
Then she gave him the death stare. Inay ko po. Tang'na namang dila 'to o! Gustong kutusan ni MN ang sarili. " I mean, kung pwede mo akong samahang kumain?" he said—no, delete that— he begged.
Fatima is beyond shock, anong nangyayari sa mokong na' to?! Gusto niya itong sigawan pero hindi pwede kasi nga oras ng trabaho niya at wala naman itong ginagawang masama sa kanya, kaya she hold herself, she calm herself by shutting her eyes, then afterwards, she opened it and smiled.
"It's not time for me to get pleasures, it's working time Bautista" Fatima said, but her brows raised when she saw him closed his eyes, na para bang may ninanamnam itong masarap na bagay.
"MN!" ay salamat Lord. Sambit ni Fatima sa sarili, then she excuse herself when she saw a tall man who is coming near MN. Masarap ang umaga kapag puro guwapo ang nakikita. Napapangiti niyang sambit sa sarili.
Wala siyang itulak kabigin sa dalawang lalaki. They both looking good. But somehow, she doesn't feel the same chills on her spine to the new guy. Then she vanished in front of them.
"What are you doing here? Akala ko ba luwas ka papuntang Madrid?" RR said.
MN shrugged his shoulder as he watch Fatima walking through the kitchen. Napalingon siya ng tapikin ng pinsan ang balikat niya.
"May tama ka na, pa check up ka na bro"' naiiling na sambit nito sa kanya.
"Come to my office" sambit ni RR, since he doesn't have any chance to eat with the woman he's here for, MN oblige.
Dumaan sila sa isang makitid na hallway, saka pumasok sa isang private na room, kasi naman, RR doesn't want to show his self as the owner of this restaurant.
And of course, he himself did that—many times too.
"Now, tell me why you keep on bothering my employees?" anang RR na iminwestra ang kamay sa isang upuan sa harap ng mesa nito. Kasi hindi lingid sa kanya kung paano siya pagtinginan ng mga employees nito, not to mention the costumers too.
MN sit, then he put his one hand on the table, saka inihaplos ang isa pa sa leeg niya.
"You like her, right?" RR said, habang naka patong ang ulo sa head rest ng upuan nito.
"I guess" MN said, saka hinilot hilot ang sentido. Kapag kuwan ang tinapik ng malakas ang mesa ng pinsan, but RR didn't even flinched.
Naka tingin lang ito sa kanya. Hindi mawari ni MN kung nakiki simpatya ba ito sa frustrations niya, o pinagtatawanan siya dahilan sa he is looking at him— lifeless, no reactions, no emotions, just staring.
"Damn RR! I wish you will feel the same as I have been going through! Nak ng kabayo, hindi ko alam kung bakit ako nagka ganito e, I don't even have the answers to all of my questions why I'm having those feelings every single time that she's near, f**k it!" himutok niya sa pinsan.
"Same " RR said, simple like that.
"What do you mean?" MN said, but RR just shrugged his shoulder. Meaning, 'Just forget it' kind of shrug. So, Mark didn't talk.
Bagkus, inalala na lang niya ang mukha ng dalaga. Minsan gusto na lang niya itong kidnap 'in at dalhin sa Madrid, because hell, he needs to go there as soon as possible because of the new building that he is making.
And to think that he will lost his contact to her again making him hesitant to fly. Yeah, better to kidnap her. Iyon lang ang tanging paraan na naiisip niya para makasama ang dalaga.
"I need to go" Aniya sa pinsan, tumingin lang ito sa kanya kaya lumayas na siya sa harapan nito nice talking, moron!
After that, MN went to the main entrance, but he jumped his feet off the seconds he saw his mother with a certain woman and drag himself to the kitchen! Putcha!! Anak ng tipaklong!! He flies.
There, he saw Fatima—alone. One thing went inside his mind, so he grabbed her, while Fatima eyes widen as she controls herself para masubsob sa dibdib ng lalaki, pero sa kamalas malasan ay natalisod siya kaya ang nagyari, tumba silang dalawa!
"s**t!" inis na sambit ni Fatima, but on the opposite of her words, Pako is grinning from ear to ear, like the movies she had watched, slowly her face is dropping to his, pero ang slowly ay napabilis ng may bumagsak na isang supot ng disposable na mga kutsara —for take out purposes — sa ulo niya!
Lips to lips, their eyes widen when they realize that they're now brushing their lips at each other! Holy cow! Tang'na!! Fatima tried to pull out, itinukod niya ang dalawang kamay sa floor, but MN refused.
Ipinulupot nito ang mala bakal na mga braso sa likod niya, but he didn't initiate a deep kiss, only brushing their lips then he smiled "Sweet lips" anas nito sa ibabaw ng mga labi niya.
"Hindi mo natikman, hanggang sa entrance ka lang naman" Fatima said, but she was about to take back her words but it's too late.
Because Pako already claimed her lips! Tang'na ka pako ka!! You de virginize my lips gago ka!!!
On the opposite, Mark Neil is enjoying the moment, he knows better than anyone, Fatima's lips—is so warm and innocent. Lucky me.. Sorry, but I don't have plans to give you away...
