1794 Words
Marian wakes up on the next day. Bigla siyang nagulat “hindi ito ang aking kuwarto nasaan ako!
Sinapo niya ang kanyang noo at pinukpok ang kanyang ulo. Ginala niya ang paningin sa palibot at nakita niya ang nakakalat na damit.
“Are you awake? Nagulat si Marian ng may nagsalita saw Dave wearing a towel in his waist, and his hair was wet dripping on his body. His body was excellent, and he had six-pack abs. Marian quickly bowed her head and clasped tightly on the cover at her body.
“ Si...Sino ka? What happened ... last night? Marian asks.
“Think about what you ate or drank last night.” Dave retorts.
Marian quickly recalls she drank a glass of juice that her boyfriend Daniel gave to her.
“I drank a glass of juice last night,” Marian says softly, but Dave heard it.
“Shouldn’t you thank me for helping you?” Dave smiled, held her chin, kissed her, and said, “Dave Saavedra, Daniel's brother.” pakilala niya.
Marian was shocked for a moment. “ik…Ikaw ang kuya ni Daniel galing Amerika?
Ayon sa naririnig niya Daniel’s brother has a child and has no emotions, and had an OCCD and like a Lucifer, he can send you to hell.
“Yes! and you are my brother’s girlfriend.”
“Oo, at bakit mo ko ginalaw kagabi?
Sa pakiramdam ni Marian para siya matutunaw, paano siya haharap kay Daniel nawala na ang puri na kanyang iningatan sa loob ng 24 taon.
“Do you think Daniel still wants you?
“Last night was an accident! Mahinang sabi ni Marian.
“Do you think he cares? “Nagkakamali ka, I know my brother well.” “He was getting engaged to Abigail Montenegro.” Don’t you know?
“Anong sinabi mo? “How can this be…they ate and talked together last night!
“Earlier Daniel sent me a message. “Gusto mo makita?
Marian looked at the phone in front of her.
Daniel: Do you like my gift? When will the company be given to me?
Marian's eyes turned moist and her tears fell down her face. Nagalit si Dave ng makita siyang umiiyak.
“You are not going to cry to other men. Don’t shed tears on Daniel.” “If he truly loves you, he did not do this thing.”
Alex gently wipes her tears with his fingers.
Nagulat si Marian at biglang tumibok ng mabilis ang kanyang puso at parang may kuryente na dumaloy sa kanyang katawan.
“Marian, be my woman and be a mother of my child? ”Pananagutan ko ang nangyari sa atin kagabi alam ko ako and nakauna sa iyo.” Dave said.
“I was drugged last night aksidente lang ang nangyari kagabi! “I hope you won’t take it seriously, as we are both adults,” Marian says.
Do you want me to pretend that last night has never happened? “What about me? “You won’t take responsibility?
“What responsibility! You also took my virginity.” Marian says.
What was wrong with my appearance pangit ba ko para di mo magustuhan? Dave asks.
“Hindi sa ganun! Mas guwapo ka sa kanya at mature. Magkapatid kasi kayo, ano na lang sabihin nila sa akin.”Marian answered.
“Eh, ano ngayon he was just my step- brother at ako ang tunay na Saavedra at hindi siya.”Dave says.
“You will soon agree, Marian, I’m sure of that,” Dave says, smiling. He was upset. “Get up!
At lumakad palabas ng kuwarto at pabalang na sinara ang pinto.
When the door closes Marian’s tears fell uncontrollably on her face. She picks up the clothes on the floor pero paano siya uuwi ng ganito punit punit at di na mapakinabangan.
“You still have a minute left.” Dave shout.
Walang Marian na lumabas ng kuwarto. Marian’s mind was in a mess. Hindi niya sukat akalain na magagawa sa kanya ni Daniel ito. Tumayo si Dave at nakita niya na tulala ito at hawak ang punit na damit. Nakaramdam siya ng awa kay Marian ng makita niya ito.
“Change into this, and I will wait for you in five minutes outside.” Dave handed Marian a bag and left.
Tumunog ang doorbell at nagulat si Dave ng biglang bumungad sa kanya si Aaron ang kanyang anak.
“Sir! Sorry po iyak ng iyak po si Aaron at hinahanap kayo.”
“It’s okay, leave him to me. You can have a day off today.” Alex says to the Yaya.
“Thank you! sir.” Sagot ng yaya na nagtataka sa ugali ni Alex bakit hindi siya pinagalitan.
“I have a surprise for you, son! I found a mommy for you.” Aaron just nodded and smiled.
Marian runs into the bathroom, splashes her face with water, and quickly wears the underwear and dress. Lumabas siya ng kuwarto and she saw Dave sitting waiting for her. Nang siya ay malapit na.Dave stands up and pulls her towards his chest, and hugs her waist.
“Did I hurt you last night? Dave says in a deep voice.
“Yes! Mr. Saavedra.”
“Why is it hard for you to be my woman?
Sasagot sana si Marian ng biglang yumakap sa hita ni Marian si Aaron.
“Mama! While running to both of them.
What did you say? Dave asks.
Mama! Aaron says again while Marian is wondering.
“I forgot to tell you he was mute since the accident two years ago; this is the first time he speaks after two years,” Dave explains.
“Why did he call me mama? Marian asks.
“I was also wondering, he never calls me papa either and he was never come close to any person except his yaya, Jake, JP me and grandpa.” “Madami ng doctor ang tumingin para makapag salita siya pero lahat sila sumuko.”
“Marian, Please! Help me cure him. He was my brother’s son, and he was the only witness to what happened that night of the accident.”
Marian found Aaron was an obedient child, and she felt pity. “O… okay! I will try my best, Dave.
“Mama, hungry,” Aaron speaks again.
Nagugutom ka? Marian puts Aaron on her lap and coaxes him, and asks. What do you want to eat?
“Pancake! Aaron answered.
Marian looked at Alex, and he dialed the phone to order food. When their food arrived, Aaron was happy and sat in between Dave and Marian. Aaron was happily eating and quickly finished the food. Dave was wondering at Aaron.
“Wait for me here at five in the afternoon,” Dave said.
“Hindi na kailangan para magkita pa tayo Mr. Saavedra.” Marian answered
Your videos, don’t you want them? “At yong promise mo kay Aaron.”
“Anong video? tanong ni Marian na may pagtataka.
“The videos of you last night.” “Do you want to see it? Dave says.
Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Marian. “I apologize, Mr. Saavedra. Last night was just an accident. Please delete it.”
“These videos will not go out as long as you meet me at 5:00 this afternoon,” Dave says seriously.
Napalunok si Marian. “Well, I promise I will be here at 5:00. Please keep your word and delete it very soon.”
“Makakaalis ka na para kunin ang mga gamit mo.”
“Okay.” Nang tumayo si Marian at papunta sa pinto Aaron run, hugs her thighs and says.
“Mama, don’t leave me!
Marian looked at Alex. “Son! Mama was not going away; she would get her things and well come back, understands!
Aaron nodded. Wala na magawa si Marian dahil sa pangako niya kay Dave na tutulungan niya si Aaron. Marian nodded, pick up her bag, and quickly went out of the Presidential Suite.
The moment Marian went out of the presidential suite, her walls collapse and she cried. Tears slipped down on her cheeks that made the people saw her she was pathetic. Umupo siya sa side walk at umiyak ng umiyak, ng mapagod ng book siya ng grab para makauwi sa kanilang bahay.
Pagkababa niya ng taxi nakatanggap siya ng tawag galing kay Daniel.
Marian: Hello! Daniel
Daniel: “Alam ko na alam mo na. Sinabi sa akin ng Kuya Dave kanina.” “Can we meet to explain?
Marian: “Hindi mo na kailangan magpaliwanag.” “Tanggap ko na.” “Mag break na tayo!
Daniel: “I will never break up with you, Marian!
Marian hangs up the call, puts Daniel's number on a blocklist, and unfriends him on all his social media accounts. She deleted all the pictures of them together. Nakarating na siya sa pintuan ng condo ni Daniel.
She looked up in the sky, masakit ang buo niyang katawan pero kaya niya tiisin. Pero ang sakit ng puso hindi. No matter what, her tears kept on flowing down her cheeks. She wiped her tears, and her heart was bleeding. Nang makarating si Marian sa loob ng condo.
Pumasok si Marian sa loob ng kuwarto at nagbalot ng mga gamit ng biglang tumunog ang kanyangcellphone. She looks at the caller ID it was not registered. She was hesitant to answer, but she accidentally presses the answer.
Marian: Hello!
Daniel: “I want to talk to you in person.” Is it true?
Marian: “What do you want to know!
Daniel: “You and my brother? “Sagutin mo ko Marian!
Marian: “Yes! Me and Dave.” bigla niya nasabi to annoy Daniel
Daniel: “Of, all people bakit kuya ko pa.
Marian: ‘Bakit mo nilagyan ng gamot ang juice na ininom ko kagabi? Ipaliwanag mo!
“At ano yong engagement niyo ni Abby ha! Ginawa niyo kong tanga!
Daniel: “Hindi ko kagustuhan ang magpakasal sa kanya. Mga magulang ko ang may gusto.” “Ikaw ang totoo kung mahal.”
Marian: “Tama na Daniel, Break na tayo. Sabay pindot ng call end. At umiyak.
Nakatulog siya sa pagod. Naalimpungatan siya ng biglang mag ring ang kanyang phone. She looked at the caller ID and the name Dave was on her phone contacts. "Kailan niya nilagay ang contact niya sa phone ko?
Marian: “Hello! Mr. Saavedra
Dave: What took you so long to answer the phone?
Marian: “Nakatulog ako at nagising sa tawag niyo.” Bakit po kayo napatawag?
Dave: “Accept all my request in all your social media accounts.” “And I want you to be here at 5:00 pm later.”
Bago si Marian makasagot Dave hung up the phone.
