Napalingon si Yeisha sa pinto, his cousin drove her into this huge house - or rather to say—a palace.
Which is built in some popular village —king M. N village, ayon kay Jonas. She saw the entrance also and it was showing a powerful one. Halatang para sa mga mayayaman.
A man. A big man enters the house. Siguro nasa anim na talampakan ito mahigit.
Napatingin ito sa kanya. Kumunot ang noo saka nagmamadaling lumabas. A few seconds later, he entered again.
Murmurs some words, kamot ang ulo kapagkawan sa batok saka tititig sa kanya.
"f**k! Am i dreaming?— No, I'm not." lumingon ulit sa labas ng pinto, inilabas pa nito ang kalahati ng katawan, checking his front door. "f**k! Im not drunk also!", saka nito itinapat ang palad sa bunganga saka bumuga ng hangin.
He went out again and same reaction from the first one, but now, he put his arms on his waist and stay still on the place where he's standing—just few meters away from fer seat.
It's like he is processing everything on his mind, on what's happening really..
She couldn't take her eyes on the man, or better to say, she's mesmerized and doesn't want to blink either. Para bagang, natatakot siyang mawala ito sa paningin niya 'pag hahayaan niyang mapa kurap siya.
lumakad ito palapit sa kanya.
Yeisha gulped.
'why is my heart beating so fast?'
This is new to her. No.. It's like some familiar. She just doesn't know how.
"tell me I'm in my... —House?" tila nag aalangan nitong tanong sa kanya.
His eyes is glaring at her—cold yet warm.
Frowning but still looking good and handsome.
Tumigil ka self.. Malilintikan ka sa akin.. Huwag kang marupok diyan!
Huwag kang haliparot self, kukutusan talaga kita!!!
Sasagot na sana siya ng marinig niyang sumigaw si Jonas.
"hello. My love so sweet! I'm home!" shouting. From the kitchen.
Lihim siyang napa ngiwi bakla ba 'to???
Sayang ka Boi..
"what the hell is this Jonasio Miguel?! Don't tell me nagtanan kang animal ka at dito ka sa pamamahay ko magtatago?!" ganting sigaw nito na hindi inalis ang pag kaka titig sa kanya.
Staring at her. From head to toe. From down to up. Tila ba sinusuri siya nito mula kaloob loobang bahagi ng katawan niya sa paraan ng pagtitig nito sa kanya.
Weird.
She felt something that she can't name.
Yeisha feel something is happening to her. Nag iinit ang katawan niya.
But she doesn't know what's that. And why. Shit.. Am I having a goosebumps??
This man is really handsome. His black messy hair. His thick eyebrows. Blue pair of eyes na tila ba kay sarap titigan. His pointed nose. Thin red lips. Square jaw na may mapipinong balbas na nakapalibot.
Tumikhim ito. Dahilan para mapaiktad siya. Nagbaba siya ng tingin dahil para siyang kinakapos ng hininga. Gusto niyang maka ramdam ng hiya dahil nahuli siya nitong nakatingin dito but then, she can't help it. Masyado itong guwapo para hindi pag ukulan ng tingin.
"hey buddy. My love so sweet!" Jonas came. —At last.
Nakahinga siya ng maluwang.
"explain Jonasio Miguel Alagon, while I'm still being nice and cute!" saad nito.
Naman!.
Actually, ayaw niya sa lalaking binubuhat ang sariling bangko, but why she couldn't feel anu irritation on this man?
Maliwanag pa sa maliwanag na may pagka praning at pagka hangin sa pagsasabi nito niyon,
Nalukot naman ang mukha ng pinsan niya sa pagtawag ng lalaki sa buong pangalan nito na ikinangiti niya ng palihim.
Umupo ito sa pang isahang upuan na nakatapat sa kanya at ipinatong nito ang dalawang paa sa center table kapagkwan ay pinag kurus nito iyon.
Ipinatong nito ang dalawang braso sa taas ng sandalan ng upuan at mataman siyang tinitigan. Hot.
Is he this hot also in... Bed!?
Napamura si Yeisha sa sarili. When did she ever think of like this?! Ngayon lang .. Tudyo ng isang bahagi ng utak niya.
"this is my cousin Yeisha Fae Gonzales . And i want you to guard her for me bud, i know this is too much, but I can count on you. Im sure of that. You will not say 'no' alam ko yan, kaya, thank you very much!" Jonas is grinning. "Aren't I genius?" pa cute pa nito sa kausap.
Nanatili lang siyang tahimik. It's rude to stare, yeah she knew it, but what can she do by the way?
She couldn't resist His blue eyes!
Damn this man for being so handsome!!
"till when?" walang emosyong sambit nito. Hindi niya maiwasang maka ramdam ng sakit sa klase ng tono nito. Napaka lamig, tila ba sinasabi nito na hindi siya welcome sa bahay nito.
"till the bomb will explode buddy, and when that time comes, everything will be back to normal— Im hoping" Jonas said. Or much better to say... Asking.
She's wondering what Jonas is talking about. What bomb? What is happening? Is it about the wedding?
Pumikit ito sandali. Hinilot ang sentido saka nagmulat ng paningin at itinuon iyon sa kanya. She shivers inside. His eyes is something.
"Single?" tanong nito sa pinsan, but his eyes is with her.
"Sort off —" Jonas answered.
"May Jowa na nag cool off, that's what you wanna say?" kunot noo niting sambit sa pinsan pa din niya.
"Hey budd—"
The man tsk.
Jonas went silent.
Bossy! She can sence, there is something to this man.
It's like full of authority?, power??
Hmm..
"okay. Feel at home. Do whatever you want to do, you clean or not, it doesn't matter to me, you cook or not, it's thesame, don't care either.I don't have maid here. I live on my own.
I cook my own food, I can take care of my belongings as well, that's why I don't hire any maid. Why? Because I hate it, the last time I had maid, she fell inlove me and I hate it as hell.
Anyways, Just tell me what you need,—Jonasio will pay for it" tumingin ito sa pinsan niya saka ngumisi.
" and oh, just don't drag any man in my house woman, I can kill—And I mean it!"
He wink and she blink.
she gritted her teeth. To hell with this man! Anong akala nito sa kanya?
well, I don't need another man.. She giggled silently on her thoughts.
Tumayo ito saka naglakad patungong kusina. She can't help but to admire his body.. Well built, kitang kita ang tikas ng katawan nito sa suot na t-shirt.
She let her breath out. "huminga pa ba 'yon habang nagsasalita?" tanong niya sa pinsan.
Jonas chuckled.
"scared dear cousin?" nakangisi nitong sambit.
"f**k you Jonas!" she hissed.
"tssk. I can see a shooting star!" he hummed. "may lalake pa palang kaya kang patiklupin? I mean, Yeisha, isang mataray at supladita sa mga lalake, tumtiklop sa isang tingin lang?" humagakpak ito ng tawa.
Hindi niya maiwasang mainis dito.
"Ano 'yon cousin, makuha sa tingin o fire me up baby?"
She snapped her fingers on his face, enough sign for him to be quiet—and he did.
"wala ka bang ibang kaibigan Jonas, itago mo na nga lang ako, sa kanya pa, I— i mean, is there a way to find for someone bette—"
"no. I trust him Yeisha . He's my best friend. And I know, you are safe with him!" may diing sambit nito sa kanya. "trust me with this cousin" sabi nito saka tumayo.
Napa titig na lang siya sa likuran ng pinsan na naglalakad palayo sa kanya.
"hey my love so sweet! I want gina!" pasigaw nito sa lalaki. Lalaki na hanggang ngayon hindi pa niya alam ang pangalan.
Nice. Binalaan na siya't lahat lahat, pero hindi man lang nagpa kilala. So rude—but cute. Pinagalitan niya ang sarili sa takbo ng isip.
Gagawin pa yata siyang madam auring ng dalawang lalakeng to.!
" kabayong pula ang meron ako. Kumuha ka kung gusto mong uminom, kung hindi naman, lumayas ka at bumili diyan sa may kanto!" ganting sigaw nito.
Napailing na lang siya.
Wait. Are they referring to the liquor gin? As in ginebra san Miguel?
Fuck. She will be in trouble. Weird people are not easy to handle, you need to be weird too just to live on their world.
She's sure of that.
Lalo pa sa part ng may ari ng bahay. Para siya nitong binabalatan ng buhay kung maka tingin sa kanya.
She's in mess.
Her life is a mess.
She's wondering, what is her father thinking now?
Will he chase her?
What about Goldwyn and the woman? Will they be safe?
Fuck s**t.
Napamura siya ng maramdaman ang gutom.
Pumasok siya sa kusina at biglang tumigil ang dalawang lalaki sa pag uusap.
She acted cool entering the kitchen. But deep inside, she is trembling.
The man is looking at her— Again. The blue eyes who captured her mind.
Tumikhim siya. Pero hindi man lang ito nagbaba ng tingin. Nagtataka siya sa sarili dahil wala siyang makapang iritasyon sa klase ng pagtitig nito sa kanya.
Kung ibang lalaki naman ay isa siyang tigreng halos sakmalin ang mga matang tumitig sa kanya.
"gutom ako Jonas, I wonder if there's any food in this kitchen?" she made sure that her voice sounded like cool. She didn't have a decent meal before her wedding day. Kaya siguro nakaramdam na siya ng gutom.
Well, she participated in some modeling. So she knows how to control her facial emotions.
Time to act like a pro. Natatawa niyang sambit sa sarili. Yeah. Gurl, slay at this time hmm?
" maghanap ka diyan, bukas na ako mag grocery " Jonas said in flat voice. Lumingon ito sa lalake.
"kumakain ka pa ba Bautista?" patuya nitong tanong sa kaharap.
Bautista. Where the hell did she heard this family name?
Kind of familiar one.
Lumabi lang ito.
Nagkibit balikat siya saka patuloy na naghalungkat sa mga cabinet.
"I suggest, magpalit ka muna ng damit, nakakatakot yang itsura mo, promise. My house is not hell, you know. And I'm still alive, I'm not on my own coffin for you to roam around in my house wearing that creapy gown of yours! So go up..
Because I'm pretty much sure Jonasio already give you a room to stay.. And change to some what nice clothes.. Will you?" sambit nito. Sa malamig na boses.
She heard Jonas cleared his throat and whistle smoothly.
Talipandas kang Jonasio kang haliparot!!
But instead of feeling scared, she felt something.
Something that she cannot name.
I will surely name this feeling.. Soon.
"Who the heck did your dress anyway?? Is she on her right mind at that time? Because seriously man, you look like a witch!" he's talking with straight face as well.
How can he be this rude?? I'm in my sanity when I did this gown!! Nagmamaktol man, wala siyang magagawa kundi manahimik.
After all, aminado naman siyang nakakahindik nga ang suot niya.
She didn't talk, she just stared at him with piker face, but deep in her soul, she's like wanting to be kiss by those red lips!
Hindi tuloy niya maiwasang basahin ang pang ibabang labi, maybe she's just dreaming but it's like she saw the corner of his lips move.
She went up—like the man wants, it's true, Jonas gave her a room.. Nagtaka pa siya kanina nang gamay na gamay nito ang kabuuan ng bahay na ito, she wanted to ask her cousin but she didn't spill it out, she's a kind of woman which doesn't care about anything that others doing.
She's indeed a very independent woman, since that day..
The day she forced herself to forget. She focused on her self more.. She did it in three long years.. Until the day she needs to be back at home.
Everything has a reason..
And she should find out that reason ao she can deal with the future and start a new life without hatreds.
Without those nightmares that keep coming back.
She sighed in disgust when she realized that she only have someher inner clothes in her balack gown.
Fitted Spaghetti strap, fitted and shorts short in color black lang ang mga ito.
Lalamunin ako ng lalaking 'yon ng buo!
Para kasing nagbabaga ng apoy ang mata nito kahit na malamig pa sa yelo kung tumitig e.
Naasaiwa siya pero nagugustuhan naman niya.
Meron bang gan' on??
