2470 Words
LUKE'S POV
I told her to clean up my condo and cook ... I know she was surprised but she couldn't do anything about it ...
Successful!
I finally got my revenge too ...!
Habang tiningnan ko siyang nanlulumo parang naawa ako pero di dapat ako maawa at dapat lang to sa kanya kasi kailangan niyang matutu..para kasi syang spoiled brat nang Lola nya....
Let's see if she can clean. ...
Besides, we're going to be married soon and I find it so curious what she can do inside the house since I also can't help to be impressed by what she has done in their company. There is no denying that she is really good because they are on the top and have the highest gross income in the business realm, so the company receives many awards and credits and they have always been featured in both magazines internationally and locally and even in the news ... so I am eager to know what else she can do especially inside the house.
Let's see what else she can do ... as a housewife ...? I evaluate her reaction while she is still in shock by what I said ...
Hmmm ... seems vague ...
It doesn't look like it ...
It is very impossible ...
I really doubt if she makes it!
There she is staring at me as if she is going to explode anytime at kung nakakamatay lang ang pagtingin kanina pa ako natigok siguro baka nga kinakatay na ako nangbabaeng toh sa isipan niya... but she can't do anything to me ...since hawak ko ang alas... sabi sabi isip ko .
"Oh what? Will you just stand there and do nothing?" I smirk "Or do you just enjoy staring at me all day?" I look at her straight and our eyes met "Or maybe you like me already or what ?!" sabi ko in my teasing voice ...
Hey, she blushed! ..... but her deadly stare is full of annoyance and anger ...
"Are you really serious?" she asked me ..." Nagpapatawa ka bah? Kapal mo ha!"
She was finally able to speak...
"Do I look like I'm kidding?" ... I also asked her and at the same time I smiled ... her eyes were glistening in anger ...
"Don't answer me with another question ... how dare you?" she shouted ...
"You're not in the position to complain!" I retorted "remember we have a deal or I should remind you again about it ..." I said with a threatening voice
"You are so impossible! I hate you!" she shouted again ... para siyang bata na hindi binilhan nang paboritong laruan.
"Hate me as much as you like, as if I care ... and please would you stop complaining and just do what I've told you to do and then we're even, you have my word ...." sabi ko.
Actually, I'm already irritated with her kaartihan and I'm really running out of patience ..!
"So that's it, you just want to get even!" she answered back "okay, fine but let me tell you ... this time I would let you enjoy your moment but ..." she threatened "But the moment I would have the chance ... you'll pay for this! ... "she said..with such a great frustration in her face.
"Ok you are always welcome ..." casual kung sabi...na mas lalo niyang kinainis.
"Where should I start?" she asks obviously just holding back her anger
"I think you should start cooking because I'm starving already ..." I told her
Right after that, she went into the kitchen ... she opened the fridge while looking for something to cook...Good timing, that Manang Linda had a grocery last Saturday so my fridge was full. Then I leave Lei Anne in the kitchen while I went straight ahead into my library to check some emails but when I'm about to stand up from the couch where I am sitting my phone ring...
I was a little embarrassed by my phone's ringtone when it rings because it is in full volume and Lei Anne suddenly looked at me.
Iyong ringtone ba naman kasi ng Phone ko ay and song na LOVE by The Moffats. Sobra ko lang talaga silang idol since kabataan ko hanggang ngayon dahil sobrang meaningful at hindi masakit sa tenga ang kanta nila.
Maybe she thinks I'm gay or baduy ..but I really don't care and besides her opinion doesn't matter to me at all... I answer the call and it is my secretary.
"Good day Sir, I'm sorry if I called because someone was looking for you here in the office," she said and I was just listening "It's a woman Sir and she's almost begging here because she wants to talk to you .." my secretary said, I was surprised since I got canceled all of my appointments today because that's what Mom wants and whether I like it or not, I have to follow Mom.
"Are you sure it's really urgent at hindi bah pwedeng ipagpabukas yan?" I asked irritably..." Sino ba siya?" dagdag kong tanong.
.
"Sorry sir ... Kristine Buenaventura daw yung name po Sir ..." my secretary informed ... when I heard the name of my unexpected visitor in the office ... I suddenly felt the familiar feeling from the past. Suddenly my heart beat fast.
Seems exciting ..?
Happy ...?
Curious .... na kinakabahan ...?
I don't know what to feel ......
After all these years I haven't heard anything about her until she just comes into my office begging to have a conversation with me and to see me? That keeps me wondering what she wants from me then.
Ewan, di ko ma gets and I am so confused...
Well if this the case then I really have to see her... Without any hesitation, I told my secretary that I will go into the office to see her.
"Sige tells her, she'll wait for me at my office and asked her what she wants ... kung nakakain na ba siya ... basta just accommodate her while I'm not there yet ok?" I ordered my secretary.
"Okay sir, copy and I'm sorry for the disturbance...Goodbye." said my secretary.
"It's alright and thank you then..bye." sabi ko sabay pindot nang end call ...
I glanced at Lei Anne who was still busy with what she was doing inside my kitchen then I approached her and told her that I will be leaving for the meantime to go into the office for some urgent matters and I will be right back after.
"I'm leaving, just make sure that you'll gonna do what I have told you and I'm sure you won't attempt to run away or else you know what will happen ..." I reminded her and made sure that she will stay until I come back and she should have done and finished what she needs to finish.
"Whatever, as if I have a choice ..!" she said roughly while she's so busy washing something in the sink. I ignored her answer because I am in a hurry.
"It's up to you ... as long as I want everything to be clean by the time I get back ... and everything is in order ... all right, I'm leaving..good luck!" I said and I went straight to the door ...
"Good luck your face!" she shouted ...hindi ko na siya pinansin kasi pag ginawa ko iyon mauubos ang oras ko sa kay Lei Anne besides Kristine is waiting for me at the office and I need to hurry.
I can't wait to see her after all these years ...
"I hope she's okay ... I hope so .." I said to myself while going to the elevator...
We will meet again Kristine ... finally ...

LEI ANNE'S POV
I was there at the kitchen busy ako sa pag hiwa nang manok well yun yung nakita ko sa fridge nang mr. sungit na lalaking yun since madaling lutuin lang to....at timing lang dahil favorite daw nang Mr.sungit na to ang chicken adobo
His Mom mentioned it while whispering sa akin kanina before they leave sa resto nung time na nag beso kami sa isat' isa...Kaya yun nalang ang lulutuin ko para mabilis at makapagsimula na rin akong maglinis sa kwarto niya.
Akala niya siguro di ako marunong magluto well magugulat siya...humanda siya dahil mapapahiya sya...
Habang nag preprepare ako nagulat naman akong lumapit siya sa akin medyo nagmamadali base sa kinikilos niya di na raw siya mag la lunch at my importanteng pupuntahan daw siya...
Akalain mo ba naman pinaghanda nya lang ako...
Talaga oo...nakakaasar!...
Sobra na siya...!
He's getting on my nerves na talaga.....!.
Well bahala siya di pa good luck...good luck pa sya....
Tskk...nakakainis..To the max...!
Talagang nang iirita ang trip nang loko lokong ito sa akin....sige lang my araw din sya.....
I watch Him go...lumabas sa pinto at wala na...kahit papaano na bawasan ang tension at pressure sa paligid na kanina ko pa na fi feel...ewan ko ba pag nang dyan ang lalaking ito nagugulo ang araw at ang buhay ko....knowing na future husband ko pa sya...! I think para akong na curse!....
Nag concentrate nalang akong magluto at pagkatapos nagligpit nang mga naiwang mga kalat sa kusina. Mabuti nalang at trained ako ni Manang Carlota sa mga gawaing bahay
The best talaga siya!...after kung magligpit sa kusina pumunta ako sa sala at konti lang naman ang dapat iligpit dun kaya mabilis ko lang ito natapos at pagkatapos sumunod ako sa kwarto nang mr. sungit na iyon.
Pagpasok ko medyo kabado kasi I know how messy his room was..syempre ako ang my gawa nun...pagbukas ko nang pinto...
Hay salamat sa kay Manag Linda...
Nakahinga ako nang maluwag, mabuti nalang di na ganun ka messy ang loob salamat talaga kay Manang Linda na kahit papaano'y di na ako masyadong mahihirapan sa paglilinis. Well, wala namang problema ang paglilinis sa akin since alam ko naman ang mga gawaing bahay dahil kahit mayaman kami laking kusina at bahay yata ako...kasama ko mga katulong at madalas akong tumutulong sa gawaing bahay without my Lola's idea.
Mga konting kalat sa drawer at mga papeles lang naman ang mga naiwan na nakakalat sa may sahig at ang kanyang kama ang medyo naiwang di pa naaayos kaya sinimulan ko nang ligpitin iyon. Pagkatapos sa kama ay sinunod kung pulutin ang mga papeles at nilagay sa shelf, mga libro at nang inayos ko ang drawer at ang laman into, may nahulog na bagay. I look at it so that I could returned it back inside the drawer.But then...
Teka parang photo album....? di naman....
Parang libro? pero hindi rin... When I look at it so keenly then I knew...
It’s a scrapbook!
Grabe ang weird nang Mr. sungit may pa scrapbook pang nalalaman...
Parang wala naman sa mukha niyang mahilig sa mga ganito....
May nakasulat sa cover nang scrapbook.....
"MIGS AND SWEETY TOGETHER FOREVER" I read out loud
Weeehhhh di nga....pero yun talaga eh!
Believe it or not...pwede nang pang ripley's....!
Yan mismo ang nakasulat...grabe so baduy...ew....
My pag ka corny din pala ang taong to....di naman siguro masama kung titingnan ang loob nito....curious na kasi masyado ang Lola nyo....hehehe. Kaya binuksan ko...
I was amazed...
Fascinated...
Di makapaniwala...
I think I am having a day dreaming ...
Is this for real?
As in...? Si Mr. Sungit? ganito ka BADUY!...well in fairness sweet siya...
Yay! feeling ko kinilabutan ako sa iniisip kung may pag ka sweet ang lalaking iyon may pag ka sentimental pa since na wala na siyang ginawa kundi pahirapan at eh harsh ako not only through his actions pero pati sa kung anu-anung mga bagay na sinasabi niya sa akin...wala sa image niya ang nakikita kung tao sa pictures.
Yes, ang loob nang scrapbook ay si Mr. sungit with a girl medyo mukhang bata pa sila sa mga pictures parang mga high school students,
Siguro nga mga highschool pa sila nang kasama niya sa pics....nagtaka ako sino ba to?....bakit ang sweet nila masyado? ... Maganda ang girl pero she's so plain ni walang kahit na ano sa mukha...simple lang talaga...ito yung tipo ni mr. sungit naisip ko.
Girlfriend ya ba ito...
Anu kaya ang nangyari bakit di sila nagkatuluyan?
Ay bakit ko ba nakalimutan...oo nga pala...alam ko na ang sagot...
Marahil my kinalaman sa arranged marriage thingy namin...
Pero sayang ang cute nilang tingnan pareho...Bigla ako nalungkot...kawawa naman sila....
Bagay sila...Bigla naman akong na insecure sa statement kung ganun..
Pero bakit naman ako na insecure?
Paki ko ba at isa pa ni hindi ko type ang lalaking yun... di ko type to the highest level!
Pagkatapos kung tingnan ang laman nang scrapbook binalik ko na ito sa drawer marahil doon yun nakatago....di ko na pinansin and I keep myself busy sa paglilinis anf after a while, sa wakas natapos din....pagod na pagod ako at pawisan.
Amoy pawis na ako...
Ewwww into myself....
Yuckkkkk talaga!
Ang lagkit lagkit ko!
Oh no! My beauty, my face.....!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..........kasalanan ng Mr. sungit na yun kung bakit ang baho baho ko na ngayun...
Kaya naisipan kung maligo, pumasok ako nang banyo at nang hinubad ko na and aking damit bigla kong naalala wala pala akong pampalit na admit.
Kaya my bright idea na naman ako...
Tama! hihiram ako nang damit muna sa mr. sungit na yun at pwede ko naman sigurong labhan ang damit ko since marunong din akong mag handwash...pagkatapos lagay ko nalang sa dryer nang mr. sungit since meron naman sya.
Yun nga ang ginawa ko...pagkatapos mag refresh nang katawan...sa wakas...amoy baby na naman ako..
So fresh feeling...
Nakakarelaks...
Hmmmnnn....ang bango ko...
Nagtungo ako sa cabinet niya since marami siyang t-shirt yung parang malaki na kulay blue ang kinuha ko at isinuot...
Naku wala ako ni kahit na anu at shirt lang..di naman siguro uuwi yun kaagad kaya walang dapat ipag alala....sinuot ko na ang t-shirt at nagtungo sa laundry room niya dahil nandoon ang dryer at nilagay ang pawisan kung mga admit. I set the timer kasi automatic naman iyon then pagkatapos ay dumiretso at umupo ako sa sofa at biglang naisip ko nanaman ang girl sa scrapbook na kasama ni Mr. sungit...
Sino ba siya...?
Ewan...
Pero ang close nila masyado at bagay sila?
Bakit parang my part sa isipan kung na insecure sa tandem nila.....
Hey, erase! Erase! Erase!
Sinaway ko sarili ko bakit ba nag iisip ako nang ganito?
Bigla na namang sumagi sa isip ko ang paghalik nya sa akin kanina and the way he stares at me....
Well medyo may na feel ako pero di naman siguro ah...ewannnn...!
Parang inaantok na yata ako... kaya napapikit ako nang mata at hindi ko na namalayan nakatulog na pala ako.
