Catching A Starr [Thor Saunders]

2 Grounded

Looking around, Thor is getting a bit irritated ng hindi nya makita ang hinahanap. He's in the bar for the past 30 minutes pero walang Astarr na nagpakita sakanya. Tiim bagang nalang syang nagtungo sa Bartender to order his drinks.

Frustrated, he ordered 2 shots of blowjob and straightly drank it. s**t. She made fun of me. Natatawang nasabi nya sa isipan nya. No one had made him wait for even a minute in his entire life. He is waiting in vain for someone he just met this morning and full of hopes na magpapakita pa iyon sakanya. He silently laughed out of frustration. Sa dami ng babaeng nagkakagusto sakanya nagpapakatanga sya sa isang estranghera. 

As stupid the situation is, he waited and waited but no Astarr came. Alas dos na ng madaling araw ng maisipan nyang umuwi. He hated himself for falling for a scam. This women thing out here is such a pain in the butt, my twin. He said to himself. He just came back home that night feeling lonely and stupid. Hahanapin kita Astarr and you'll regret this night. Challenged by a woman he just met, Thor became interested with Astarr na nakalimutan na nyang woman hater sya.

It's been 2 weeks when he last saw the woman who catches Thor's attention. Hindi na yun naulit. He was able to obtain her identity of course, the Mighty Thor has his own ways. Astarr Buenaflor, his father is the richest entrepreneur in the Philippines and snatched the top 5 place for richest businessmen in NY and got the most beautiful and annoying daughter. 

Astarr is a rebelous, happy go lucky and easy going. She knows that she doesn't have to work because his dad is filthy rich that's why she just sleep, eat and travel whenever she wants. His mom and dad gave up on her na pinag dadasal nalang ang kaligtasan nya araw araw. Gumuhit ang ngiti sa mga labi ni Thor. There's something on her that makes him feel like he wants to tame her. Mula nung araw na nagkita sila ay hindi na nawaglit sa isipan ni Thor ang magandang mukha ng dalaga.

"Hey twin! What's on your mind?" Hindi napansin  ni Thor na nakapasok na pala si East sa opisina nya kaya nagulat sya ng magsalita iyon.

"Kanina ka pa dyan?" Nanlalaki ang mata na tanong nya because of shock. Natawa naman si East sa reaksyon nya dahil ni minsan ay di pa nito nakitang disoriented ang kapatid nya.

"Yay bro. Mukhang nakita mo na ang pinana ni Cupid para sayo ah." Thor felt his cheeks getting hot like a teenage boy who was caught having a crush.

"It's not your business anymore East." Pagsusungit nya dito at saka na sya lumapit sa computer at kunwaring busy na. East gave up at tumayo na ito para umalis.

"Just an advise bro, don't get too attached. It's going to be messy." Hindi na nya ito tinignan at lumabas na pagkatapos mag flying kiss at mag ilove you. Natatawa nalang si Thor sa pagiging childish nito.

ASTARR POV

It's been more than 2 weeks mula ng madetain ako sa sariling kwarto ko. I hate Dad, he always listen to her evil wife. She had me detained dahil nagkaroon kami ng pagtatalo when I saw her flirting sa mall and met up with her 20 year old boyfriend. I feel pity for Dad pero kahit naman sabihin ko sakanya he wouldn't listen. They had my credit cards confiscated and my bank accounts froze. Nakakainis. If only mom is here with me hindi ako magaganito ng asawa ni Dad. From this thought I feel lonely and weak and lifeless. Though my father is the richest, hindi ko masabing masaya ako, I'm the poorest girl ever.

"Mam, kain kana." Syempre mayordoma namin iyon na nasa labas ng kulungan ko I mean ng kwarto ko.

"Sige po Nang, bababa na ko mamayang konti." Sabi ko while sniffing.

"Pinagluto kita ng Barbekyu." Malambing na sabi nya sakin. Manang Cely is my mother's nanny. Kaya dinadala namin sya kahit saan kami tumira dahil mas ramdam ko pa ang pagiging magulang nya kaysa sa aking ama. She devoted her life to my mom. Manang Cely is single, never had a boyfriend and promised mom na hindi ako papabayaan. 

She was an orphan back then, she was 15 when my mom found her running in the streets of Macau with bruises and blood all over her mouth trying to escape from her previous boss. Mom saved her and brought her to the embassy pag kuway kinupkop na sya nito and made her own nanny. My mom has the purest heart in the world until she got cancer and died from it.

I wiped my face and tried to put powder on para hindi naman mahalata kahit papano na magdamag akong umiiyak. Manag Cely as expected is waiting for me on the door and she has the most empathetic look.

"Ay naku naku, etong alaga namin, halika na, pagkatapos ay magbihis ka. Aalis tayo at magpapasyal sa mall." Excited na sabi ni Manang Cely. Hindi nya alam kung gaano kaligaya ang puso ko ng sabihin nya iyon. But that only last for 10 seconds when I realized that I am so damn broke. "Ay ano yan bakit bigla kang sumimangot? Ayaw mo ba akong makasama mag mall?" Nabigla naman ako sa sinabi nito ayaw kong sumama ang loob nya kaya I hugged her from the back.

"Manang kasi wala po akong pera dito. Lahat kinuha ni Bruha. Meron ako sa bag yung 500 pesos na bigay ni Mommy noon pero di naman yon mapapambili dito." I said in my most apologetic voice. Bahagya nyang tinapik ang kamay kong nakayakap sakanya.

"Ano ka bang bata ka! Humingi ako ng day op para makasama kita. Akong bahala marami akong pera." She said with the most genuine smile. I know gusto rin nyang makapasyal dahil matagal tagal na mula nung huling labas namin. "O sya sya kumain kana at akoy maliligo na ah." She said while hurrying to the bathroom.

Hindi ko mapigilang mapangiti dahil may mga tao sa paligid ko like Manang Cely. Naisip ko, hindi pala ako lonely. When I took a bite of the Barbeque naalala ko yung guy na nameet ko sa Texas Roadhouse. I even asked him to see me at the bar pero I wasn't able to attend because of my wicked stepmother. I just hope na hindi pa nya ko sinusumpa.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Hayy Manang napaka refreshing, akala ko hindi na ako makakalabas ng bahay, babawi ako sayo Nang kapag nakalaya nako." Isang oras na kaming nag gagala ni Manang Cely sa loob ng mall, nakapanood narin kami ng sine at nakapag arcade. 

"Ano ka ba naman, malaking malaki ang utang na loob ko sa Mommy mo, hindi mo ako dapat bayaran dahil wala kang utang sa akin. Ubusin mo yang Ice cream mo at kakain tayo ng dinner." Sabi ni Manang Cely and it made my heart jump out of excitement.

Kahit ngayong araw lang nakawala ako sa hawla. Sige kahit makulong pa ko ng isang bwan pa wala akong pakealam, at least I know na kahit papano nakakagawa ako ng ways para sumakit ang ulo ng asawa ni Daddy at baka maisipan ding palayasin nako sa mansion.
