chapter four
Nag lalakad na ako papuntang gate ng school namin. My driver is waiting there kaya naman it doesn't matter kung mag bagal ako sa pag lalakad. I felt someone grab my arm, when I saw it, nakita ko si Beau na kumakain ng lollypop habang naka messy bun na naman ang buhok nya. Tinaasan ko sya ng kilay at saka nag patuloy sa pag lalakad.
"Why are you still here? Freshmen should be home by 3 o'clock." Ako. Junior to senior ay 5 o'clock ang uwi. Kami yon.
There's this smug smile in her face sabay bakay sa akin. Napatili tuloy ako sa ginawa nya. Inis na tinignan ko sya and try ko shove her off to my back kaya umalis naman sya. She helped me to stand up. Someone came to us, isa syang senior from our school.
"Are you okay, Conan?" Tanong nito. He know me? I knew he's from senior because of his ID lace. He hand me his handkerchief.
"Thanks." Pinagpag ko ang tuhod ko using that. "I'll give--"
"Its okay, you can have it. Are you sure you're okay? By the way I'm Samuel."
"Kay. Thanks."
Sabay talikod ko. But before that I saw his smile. Inirapan ko naman si Beau na natatawa sa gilid. May bubble gum naman na syang kinakain ngayon.
"Ate, tell Mom I'll be on Sara's house. Fetch me at seven okay?" Sabay alis nito.
Hindi ko sya pinansin at saka ko narating ang gate. My brows furrow dahil ang daming tao sa gate, isama pa na puro mga babae iyon at parang may tinitignan. Like what the ef? Maldita lang ako pero hindi ako chismosa. Nakita ko na yung black Mercedes na kotse namin kaya duon ako demretso when I felt again a grab from my arm. Inis na nilingon ko si Beau, makulit talaga ang batang iyon. May sarili palaging desis... My eyes met this familiar turquoise gray eyes and on that moment I feel like I'm in Russia and feeling coldness of the winter because of his eyes that is like snow in the middle of the night.
"What took you so long?" There is this irritation in his voice. Naka tulala parin ako sa gwapo nyang mukha. Yung naka kunot nyang kilay at matatalim na titig sa akin...
Teka!!! Oh gosh anong ginagawa ng lalaking ito dito? I mean.. Tinignan ko ang suot ko, maalikabok ako at may scrape ang tuhod ko. I saw how the students around us watch us.
"H-how.. How did you know I'm studying here? I mean.. How? Are you stalking me?" Kabadong tanong ko. Mamaya gusto nya ako kidnapin dahil mayaman ako. O kaya baka want nya ang sexy body ko? Oh my gosh, bakit naman kasi nag gym na ako, I'm only in third year high school! Kagagahan ko talaga..
"Stalk. You? Are you out of your mind? Lets go, dirty. I'm hungry like hell." Sabay hatak nito sa akin. Did he called me 'dirty'? Ang kapal talaga ng lalaking ito! Pinigilan ko sya sa pag hatak pero hindi kaya. Nilingon nya ako pag dating namin sa..
"Is that yours?" Tanong ko sa isang mamahaling sasakyan. Hindi naman kasi iyan yung gamit nya last time. Tinaasan nya ako ng kilay saka inirapan. Narinig ko naman yung driver ko na nasa likod ko na.
"Miss Conan, ano po ang nangyayari. Ayos lang po ba kayo?" Sasagot na sana ako ng mag salita yung lalakeng ito.
"I'll bring her home. We will just eat." Sabi nya. Gulat naman na tinignan ko sya. "What? Get inside."
"Manong.." Tawag ko pa pero tinulak nya na ako papasok. Matapos iyon ay tumabi sya sakin sa back seat. May driver duon sa harapan. "Saan mo ako dadalhin?" Sigaw ko sa kanya. Hindi naman kami close diba? And its been a week since the day we've met. Nalimutan kona nga sya ee!
"Drive." Utos nito at that moment umandar agad yung sasakyan.
Ilang beses ko sya tinanong kung saan ba kami pupunta dahil baka hanapin ako nila Dad. A week ago I almost lost my weekly allowance for running from my bodyguard. Now aalis naman ako without my driver. Oh gosh, this is hell when I get home. Naka halukipkip ako habang naka simangot ng huminto ang sasakyan sa isang fine dine restaurant. Hindi ako nag salita ng bumukas ang pinto, lumabas itong si Saiu. Nang hindi ako kumikos ay naramdaman ko ulit ang libu-libong boltahe mula sa pagkaka dampi ng kamay nya sa braso ko. Marahas nya akong hinatak palabas, pumiglas ako saka sya inirapan. We went inside the restaurant, I'm expecting to seat on an empty two sitters table when we walk towards.. I count, there are three guys sitting with same age as us.
"Easy, Sai. There's no need to drag her that way." Mahinanong bawal ng lalake habang naka tingin sa akin. Naka kunot ang noo nya and he looks cute with his chinky brown eyes. "Are you oka-- darn you. Tignan no may galos na sya."
Natigilan naman ako at tinignan ang tinutukoy nya. Yung tuhod ko iyon. Since my skirt is short ay makikita talaga iyon lalo na sa maputi kong balat. Makakatikim talaga sakin si Beau pag uwi ko!! Nang maramdaman kong bumitaw si Saiu ay mabilis ako tumalikod para umalis ng hawakan ako nito sa bewang at sapilitang pinaupo sa bakanteng upuan katabi ang.. Ang isang lalaki na may color deep green na mga mata. He nod to me telling its okay. Circled table ang meron sa harapan ko kaya nakatabi ko si Saiu na di parin nag sasalita. Sa harapan ko naman ay ang isang lalake na maputi pero may suot na salamin, it didn't hide the honey or amber color of his eyes. Wow, this is fantastic, am I seeing international people?
"Mira have you ordered? I'm hungry, and this girl annoys me." Sabay tingin sakin ni Saiu. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko saka sya hinarap.
"Excuse me, hindi ko kasalanan kung naruon ka at naka tambay. 'Wag mo isisi sakin ang ginawa mo." Inis na sabi ko. Tumaas ang kilay nya saka ako inirapan. "I'm going home." Nawala yung kilig factor sa dibdib ko dahil akala ko dalawa lang kaming kakain.
I mean who wouldn't? I happened to see him waiting for me outside my school and every girl looks at him with admiration. Tapos aayain nya ako kahit di naman kami magka kilala. Hinatid nya rin ako a week ago sa mansion namin at ngayon naman iyan! Kakaladkarin nya ako somewhere and ito, may tatlo pang lalake ang nasa harapan ko and only God knows where they came from! Tinaasan ko ng kilay ang lalaki na may amber eyes dahil naka titig ito sa akin. His eyes averted from me to the guy sitting on my left side, the green eyed boy.
"Rihan my phone." His voice as cold as his eyes. There is no emotion in it while talking to this guy.
"My battery is drained, I need your phone to contact my cousin." Seryoso naman sagot ng katabi ko. He look at me and there is this frown in his face kaya naman umirap ako dito. nagulat ito sa reaksyon ko saka nailing.
"Give it back to him, I'm very sure Kei needs it for his brother's contact. Yung akin na lang ang gamitin mo, hindi ko pa naman gagamitin." Sagot naman ng cute na lalaki sa tabi ko. Why so cute?
"Done checking my friends?" Singit ng isa sa tabi ko.
"Sino ka naman dyan?" Sagot ko sa kanya. Naiinis talaga ako. Tignan mo mukhang pare pareho pa ang mga ugali nila.
Sasagot sana sya ng isa isang dumating ang mga pagkain. I'm surprised that there's a food for me already. We started eating without talking to each other. I forcedly swallow the food I'm eating. Each food I chew need some liquid to gush it down my throat. This is the most awkward dinner I've ever had in my entire life, I don't even know why I'm here. I'm almost done with my food when Saiu made a move, I was taken aback when he lift my hand with his and started talking.
"Bros this is Conan, my girl. Accept her, I own her. Understand?"
My eyes grew wider as he put my hand on top of the table with his hand. Agad ko sya nilingon pag katapos ay ang mga kaibigan nya na halatang natigilan din sa pag kain. There is this confusion in their faces like mine. I feel like my whole body became red because of what he said!
"A-are you out of your mind?" Siga wko sabay kalas sa pag kakahawak nya. He gave me a bored look as if he's not interested in what I'm saying! "Ako, babae mo? Eh hindi nga--"
"I'm Saiu Emperial, if you're going to ask again. And yes, your are my girl and these are my friends." Sabay lingon nya sa tatlo na naka tingin parin.
"You must be joking. What's the catch forcing her to be your girl?" Said Rihan. Lumingon ito sa akin. "Are sure you're okay with him? He can be autistic sometimes. He might be pushing you in his ways."
"I actually don--"
"Then we should start dating so you can know me better and I'll do the same. End of discussion!" Iritang sabat ni Saiu at saka kumain.
"Stupid." Napa ngisi ako sa sinabi nung Kei.
"Stop na nga iyan. Conan okay ka na ba? Do you want desserts after? I recommend you to try their blueberry muffin here." Naka ngiting pag kausap sakin ng cute na lalake. Naka tingin lang ako sa kanya looking at his whole face ng matigilan sya at dali daling inabot ang kamay sa akin. "I'm Mirael, you can call me Mira. It's nice meeting you in person Conan."
I took his hand and smile to him a little. "I'm Conan."
Mira and I became comfortable to each other. He's cute and very approachable, he even recommend good dinning here in the city. Sa kanilangblahat sya lang ang nakaka kwentuhan ko the whole time. I met the other two because of him, they are Rihan and Keira. Rihan has this deep green eyes na nakaka takot pag tinititigan. As if malulunod ka sa mga mata nya, and Keira, the cold one, has this amber or honey colored eyes. His eyes looks transparent especially from the effect of the dimmed light of the restaurant, you cannot ready anything in his face. Not that I want to but he's different. Aside from their physical appearance halata naman na may sinabi sila sa buhay. pansin ko nga rin na pinag titinginan sila ng mga babae dito mapa bata man o mas ahead sa amin.
After a moment, nag paalam na sila na aalis na kaya ako naman ay tumayo na. I'm about to call my driver when I felt Saiu holding my hand, i tried to move away pero di ko nagawa. We went to his car na nag hihintay na sa labas. The whole drive is quite. Nang maka uwi sa tapat ng mansion namin ay baba na sana ako ng pigilan nya ako. I look at him with confuse.
"What do you want?" Ako
"Be my girl, dirty." diretso nyang sagot. My heart leap but I tried to hide it.
"Sorry, I'm confused. Why so sudden? I don't know you and you don't know me. We don't even like each other." Ako.
"Do i need reasons to be your boyfriend? I look good and women and wooing over me. Bakit matanong ka pa?" There's this irritation in his voice. Mas lalo na sakin.
"Sorry, wag ak--"
It feels like everything went blank when I felt his lips against mine. Its soft and warm. My eyes are wide open when he pulled away. Naka titig lang ako sa kanya. His eyes are looking at me directly and it feels like I'm in other world, spinning everything around me upside down. Hindi ako naka galaw ng kuhain nya ang phone ko sa bag saka nag type duon. Maya maya nag ring ang phone nyan. He look at me and hug me tight before going out from his car and opened the door from my side. Para parin akong naka lutang sa alapaap. I felt again his tight hug bago sya nag doorbell sa gate. Nang mag bukas iyon ay nilingon nya ako. There's this something in his eyes na diko maipaliwanag. Nang papasok na ako ay narinig ko pa ang pag alis ng sasakyan nya.
Ever since that night, tuwing hapon ay nakikita ko na si Saiu sa labas ng school. Actually I'm surprised that they knew him. I mean the girls from our school. He's so persistent in fetching me Everyday after school and Beau is aware of it. Minsan nga nakikita ko pa silang dalawa ng kumakain ng mag kasama habang hinihintay ako.
Then it happened that my brother heard about Saiu. Sya mismo ang nakakita kay Saiu sa school, natakot ako dahil strikto si Kuya. Hindi ko hinayaanng manligaw sakin si Saiu pero parang iyon narin ang ginagawa nya sakin. He was not afraid to face my brother. He even bring him to our house and they talked. Nakita din siya nila Dad. Nagalit pa nga ito pero ang sagot lang ni Saiu ay.
"I'm serious about your daughter, sir."
That's what he said to my dad. After almost five months of trying to convince my Dad hinayaan na sya nito. Pero kahit ganoon confuse parin ako. He's doing those things but he never told about his feelings for me. Not even once.
Napa buntong hininga ako. Tinignan ko si Ate Cana na mahimbing na natutulog sa tabi ni Kuya Canon na nag babasa ng libro.
"Kuya.. Do you think he likes me?"
"Who?" He ask not looking at me.
"Si.. Si ano.. Wala. Kalimutan mo na." Sabay tayo ko from the couch of his room.
"Saiu Emperial?" Biglang kumabog ng mabilis ang dibdib ko habang naka tingin sa kanya.
"Y-yeah.."
"I don't think so." Sagot nito. I felt like my heart instantly dies as he answered me. "He love you, sis."
My lips turned upward And Felt my face heat. Yeah right.
