Rich Man 1: Andrei Amezquita

CHAPTER 6

CHAPTER SIX

PARANG BALIW na nagpalakad-lakad si Deang sa kwarto niya, it's been ten hours since that thing happened, hindi tuloy siya makalabas ng kaniyang kwarto dahil sa kahihiyan niya sa binata. Bakit ba naman kasi siya nagpadala sa init ng kaniyang katawan? Ayan tuloy, wala siyang lakas na pakiharapan ito.

"Bakit kasi hindi ka nag-iisip Deang? Paano na lang kung may nangyari, hah? Edi warak na yang bataan mo, sa susunod h'wag ka ng magpapadala sa init ng katawan." Saway niya sa kaniyang sarili.

She must stay away from him, nakakahiya, sino ba namang matinong maid ang magpapahalik na lang basta-basta sa amo niya? Hindi naman siya ganito dati, ahh? What she mean is, nagpahalik na rin naman siya but not like in this kind of situation.

She didn't stop herself and she let him touch her body, at hindi lang yun, she even feel her womanhood wet when they are kissing torridly and that thing is new to her, her panty i, especially to her body.

Natigil ang pagsa-saway niya sa sarili ng marinig ang tunog ng umandar na kotse, seems like her boss will going out tonight? Saan naman kaya ito pupunta? Of course, baka mawiwingwit yun ng babae, and to think that her boss is going to find another woman to f**k, it makes her heart tightened.

Hindi na siya makahinga ng maayos, her heart is hurting, bakit niya nararamdaman ito? What's this? Ano ito? Pilit na pinakalma ni Deang ang puso niya, pero kahit anong gawin niya, she still feel the pain killing his heart, SLOWLY!

And suddenly a ringing sound interrupted her calming her heart.

Hinanap niya kung saan yun nanggagaling and to find other was her phone ringing and an un-registered number pops up on the screen. She pressed the answer button and speak "Hello? Sino ito?" She asked and the caller didn't speaked.

"Hello on Earth? Sino ito?" She asked again.

But again, the caller remained silent, nagu-umpisa na siyang mainis rito, kay simple-simple lang ng tanong niya rito hindi man lang sumasagot?

She looked the screen at hindi pa naman ito nakakababa "again, sino ito?" She asked irritated.

Still no answer, no one's answering, she was about to end the call when the caller finally talk.

"Lady Deatrice." The caller said in a lower voice. Her eyes widen then realization hits her, it was Shin, his so honest Butler Shin.

Her eyes watered "S-Shin? Is this r-really you?" She asked.

Naiiyak na siya, buhay ito, but how? She knows her papa, hindi niya ito papalabasin sa torturing room kung hindi ito patay. Tears fall from her eyes, she can't imagine how much pain he gets before he out of that room.

"Yes it's me, my Lady." He said then chuckled softly.

Napahikbi siya "I t-thought, I... I— thought you're dead, d-does s-something still h-hurts at you?" She asked.

"Don't worry my Lady, I'm fine, there's nothing hurts on me." He said.

Napahagulgol siya sa sinabi nito, alam niyang nagpapanggap lang ito na walang nararamdaman na sakit, alam niya yun, ayaw siya nitong mag-alala, pero anong magagawa niya? Nag-aalala pa din siya para rito, palagi itong nasa tabi niya kapag kinakailangan niya ng tulong nito.

"O-okay." Humihikbing saad niya.

"Stop it my Lady, don't cry, I'm fine, okay?" Saad nito sa kaniya.

Pinunasan niya ang mga luha at pilit na kinausap ito ng maayos "Where did you get my number?" She asked.

Tinapon niya kasi ang cellphone sa basurahan ng dumating siya rito sa Pilipinas, mahirap na at baka ma-trace pa siya ng kaniyang ama.

"I asked Miss Real about your number, and gladly she gave me your number." He said.

"And where did you get a phone to call me?" She asked.

Butler Shin chuckled "I snatch it to my new Lady." He said.

It makes her tuned, he has a new Lady to serve? Look like her father disposed him into other's "Your new Lady?"

"Yes my Lady, master Lee give me this as a punishment by giving me to a very sadist and wild family. He said, it's better that thing I died in other's hands and house than to his own hands and house, he said he can't take to kill someone from his." He said then chuckled sadly.

But wait? Very sadist? Wild family? Her eyes get even more wider when she realize who's that family "Who's your new lady?" She asked

He chuckled "the oldest daughter, lady Dria."

Dria? Xsandria Sha Greco-Raj?

"Are you talking to Raj family?"

"Yes my Lady, the Raj, the oldest of Raj, haha, actually they are not scary as well, they look like funny when they are fuming mad." Natatawang saad nito.

Nasisiraan na ba ito ng bait? Bakit parang gustong-gusto pa nito na napunta siya doon? Sobrang sadista kaya ng mga yun, last time they dine with them, it turns into an unpleasant sight, she even remember how the Raj's old man slapped the maid in front of them because the maid accidentally pour the wine into the table.

She do face palmed "are you out of your mind? You know their attitudes, why you let papa disposed you to them? Especially your new Lady, and now you snatched her phone? Are you lost your mind when papa tortured you? That family except my friend, that family, they are demon, and their mansion is portraying as a real life hell..." She paused "And now you snatched her phone? God." She's so frustrated.

Paano pala kung malaman ng babaeng yun na kinuha nito ang cellphone niya? She and that woman became friends too, and she knows how that woman can beat Butler Shin up.

"Hey relax my Lady, I always do this, and he always catch me, so yeah, she always beaten me up, but the moment, I like the feeling making her fuming mad and annoyed." He said.

Napailing-iling na lang siya "Shin?"

"Yes my Lady?"

"Stop calling me my Lady, I'm not your Lady anymore." She said.

She heard him chuckled "Yes you're Young Lady, you're still my Lady here inside my heart, Mèimei." He said.

Her eyes watered again, she miss how Shin called her like that "I miss you calling me like that, Gēgē." She said then smiled sadly.

"Me too Mèimei, me too." He said.

"Gēgē, I miss you so much, I miss you, I hope we'd go back in the time that I'm allowed to called you Gēgē."

"Yeah..." Tanging usal nito.

"Let's stop this very dramatic moment, my tears is about to fall, you know how I hate myself to cry my my Lady." He said.

Nalukot naman ang mukha niya, mas maganda kung yun na lang kaya ang itawag nito sa kaniya "Yeah I know, but could please stop calling me my Lady? I prefer you to called me Mèimei than 'MY LADY' or 'LADY DEATRICE' okay?" Saad niya na diinan sa word na 'My Lady' at 'Lady Deatrice'

"Okay, Mèimei."

"That's good to hear." She said with a smile on her face.

Seconds passed they became silent, mahina rin siyang humihikbi habang inaalala ito, how can her father do this to Shin, Shin was his Érzi, bakit pinapahirapan niya ito? Patuloy lang siya sa pag-iyak.

"Oh, s**t!" Biglang mura ni Butler Shin.

Napammulagat siya "W-why? W-what h-happened Gēgē?" Utal niyang tanong dito.

"She's here Mèimei, I'll hang up, goodbye Mèimei, and please do take care of yourself, I'm not near at you." Saad nito.

Napatango siya na para bang nasa harap niya lang ito "Okay, I will, you too Gēgē." Saad niya dito.

And then the call is already end, kasalanan niyang lahat nang ito, kung hindi lang sana siya tumakas wala sana ito sa impyernong kinalalagyan. Because of her, her Gēgē suffered, gagawin niya ang lahat makabawi lang rito. She lay on her bed, and she looked at the ceiling, her boss face appeared in her mind, she imagine that his with some girls flirting to each other, and here her heart goes again, it hurts as hell, para na siyang mababaliw kakaisip sa amo niya.

Hindi pwede ito! She must stop herself, especially her heart, masasaktan lang siya sa huli kung hahayaan niya ang pusong bumukas para papasukin ang amo niya, ang amo niyang palaging nasa kaniyang panaginip at mahinasyon. Sariwa pa din sa kaniyang mga alaala ang nangyari nung gabing yun when she's in that freaking bar, where her first kiss had been stole by a not so called stranger, and that stranger is her boss. He's not actually a stranger kasi alam naman niya ang pangalan nito, but the thing na bagong kakilala lang niya ito, minsan natanong niya sa sarili, naalala kaya siya nito?

Kasi kung siya ang tatanungin, Oo, she always remember him, minsan niya na ring naisip kung may kasintahan ba ito, and that kind of question making her mad at herself, bakit naman kasi niya pa tinatanong kung may nobya na ba ito o wala pa. Minsan niya rin pinagdasal na sana muling magtagpo ang mga landas nila, she didn't know to herself why she prayed that thing, but that prayer came true, they meet again, but they meet not in her real name, but as Deang.

Oh, Andrei...

NG MAKA-PASOK si Andrei sa bahay na pagmamay-ari ng Marino nilang kaibigan ay agad siya sinalubong ng maingay na musika na nanggagaling taas kung nasaan naroon ang mini bar ng loko.

His friends looked at him "Oh, the model is now here." Bungad sa kaniya ng mga loko-lokong kaibigan ng maka-pasok siya sa loob ng mini bar.

He raised his middle finger to his friends "Hey there Aliens." Saad niya sa mga ito.

Nagtawanan lang ang mga loko at pagkuway binigyan siya ng maiinom, agad na hinanap ng mata niya ang kaibigang Marino.

He looked the whole bar "where's the Marine?" He asked Betel. "Nandoon sa balkonahe, may kinakausap pa, babalik din naman yun." Sagot nito.

"Hey, dude, let's party! Party! Whoooooo!" Sigaw ni Belsasar and as usual may kasama itong babae

"Yeah, Whoooooo!" Sigaw rin ng mga kaibigan niyang loko-loko maliban kay Omni na masamang nakatingin kay Belsasar.

Nagsisitalon ang mga loko na parang ngayon lang nakatakas sa hawla, napailing-iling na lang siya, bakit nga ba niya naging kaibigan ang mga ito? Natatawa na lang siya ng mag-slow dance sila Amadeus at Kimball, ganun rin ang mga kaibigan niyang panay ang tawa sa dalawa.

"Hey dude, you're here model." Saad ng nasa likod niya. Agad niya itong hinarap and it was his Marine friend.

He walks towards him "Hey dude, kamusta?" Tanong nito.

He tapped his shoulder "Okay lang, ikaw dude? Kamusta? Nahanap mo na ba ang sirena?" Natatawang tanong niya dito.

Nangingiting umiling-iling ito "Hindi pa, but I know that someday I'll found her."

"You're crazy." Saad niya dito, pero imbis na mainis ang kaibigan mahina lang itong tumawa.

Kumuha ito ng shot glass at nag salin ng whiskey, niyaya siya nitong sa balkonahe na lang mag-usap dahil masyado ng maingay ang mga loko sa loob. Nang makarating sila sa balkonahe biglang pumasok sa isipan niya si Deang, nag-aalala siya rito, kumain na ba ito o hindi pa, kung tulog na ba ito, o kung galit ba ito dahil sa paghalik niya dito, he sighed, sana naman hindi ito galit sa kaniya— teka, bakit ba iniisip niya ang dalaga?

Kung magalit man ito sa kaniya, edi magalit siya. Wala namang mawawala sa akin kung magagalit siya. Anang isipan niya

"Nga pala dude, balita ko ikakasal ka na daw?" Pagkuway tanong nito.

Agad tumingin siya sa malayo, tanaw mula rito ang bubong ng bahay niya, naisip na naman niya si Deang, pero dahil sa usaping ikakasal na siya. Parang may kung ano siyang nararamdamang sakit para sa dalaga, hindi niya matukoy kung anong tawag sa bagay na yun, pero palagi niya yung nararamdaman sa tuwing sumasagi sa isipan niyang ikakasal na siya.

He sighed "saan mo naman nalaman yan?" He asked.

Tinuro naman nito ang mga loko-loko nilang mga kaibigan, napabuntong hininga na lang siya, wala sana siyang balak na sabihin sa mga ito ang kasal niya, but her mom is too excited at nagpadala agad ng invitation sa mga ito. Hindi niya pa nga alam kung kailan ang kasal niya, ehh! Tapos may invitation agad?

Hindi rin naman halatang excited si Mommy, nuh? Tanong na lang niya sa sarili, at lihim na umiling-iling.

A/N: enjoy...
