Behind those Love (La Isla Miguel series1)
Chapter 1
"Dino, I told you to f**k off! I don't like the h'll of you!” halos pasigaw kung sagot kay Dino .
“But Elis were getting married- ” putol ko sa sabihin niya
“f**k! Are you f*****g dreaming, Dino? Sino ba nag sabi sayo na pakakasal ako sayo? Didn't you f*****g heard me? I. Don't. Like. You.” halos umakyat na yata lahat ng dugo ko sa ulo I'm so tired of this man. He's my father's friend and my father's wants us to be get married and I hate it I am too young to get married and we're not even a couple.
“Elis it's your father's decision and you want to desobey your father now?” aniya
I raised my left hand and at him as says goodbye. I am going somewhere.
“Elis where you going?” he said and trying to follow me but I'm already in the elevator. Finally.
My phone rang and I saw the name it was my friend Raquel it's almost 5:45 in the afternoon at nag aagaw dilim na ang kalangitan.
“Raquel” sagot ko sa kabilang linya
“Hey! Elisheva want to drink now? I'm on the bar.” she said pakiramdam ko lasing na ito napaka umaga pa.
“What is the name of the bar then?” I asked with a little smile I know what will happen next she will find me a man again to hook up.
“Told yah she will come” she said and I heard a groand of a man
“Lavender Bar, Elis” she said and she's chuckling and I heard a kissing sound. Oh gosh this woman being flirty again.
“Okay I know that I'm coming.” I chuckled as I assured her that I'm coming.
Pag kalabas ko ng building ay agad akong sumakay ng taxi papuntang Lavender Bar as I'm on the way I can't stop thinking why my father wants me to marry that weird guys he's not my type. I don't even know his blood type.
The car stop at agad kung inabot ang bayad sa driver at agad na lumabas iginala ko ang aking mga mata I saw a man watching me behind the mirror of the club.
The bar was full of woman and man dancing with the dancing light sa labas pa lang tanaw ko na kung paano mag lampungan ang matao sa loob.
Nasa labas pa ako ng bar halos ayaw ko ng pumasok sa mga nakikita ko dito sa labas ay parang mamaya lang mga mata ko sa kaka titig sa mga nag lalampungan. My phone ring again and it was Dino again this man. I turn off my phone and step to the door of the bar as I open it I smelled the hit the alcohol and the cigarettes the sweat I also saw a couple making love at the sofa.
This is so crazy too much for crazy people.
As I gazed the other side I saw a man with a white long sleeve and bootton down he keep watching me hindi ko ma aninag ang kanyang mukha but I'm sure he's watching me. He cross his arm at his chest as I stared directly to him and I swear he saw my smirk.
I started walking at the dance floor I left the door where I stand.
As I walk at the dance floor I saw my friend Raquel kissing the man at naka patong pa ito sa hita ng lalaki. Hahakbang na sana ako papunta sa gawi ni Raquel but the man with a long sleeve na nakita ko kanina lang ay nasa likod ng sofa ni na Raquel palapit ito sa sofa and he seat. I rolled my eyes at tinungo nalamang ang bartender.
“Tequila please.” I ordered
Agad naman akong binigyan ng bartender. I drink it straight and I felt the bitterness of the alcohol na humagod sa lalamunan ko at sa aking tiyan. But no one can stop me now I'm already eighteen and I can do whatever I want to do. I ordered another shot of tequila.
I drink it so well hanggang sa maka lima akong shot my world are spinning now. Ramdam kung may tao sa likod as the bartender react on it ngunit hindi ako nag aksaya ng segundo para lang lumingon hanggang sa may tumabi sakin at pinasadahan ko ito ng tingin and I was shock it was the man with the white long sleeve and messy hair thick eyebrow and long eyelashes his lips thin. Agad akong napa lunok laway gosh this man is so handsome.
He clear his throat as he look at my chest. Wala naman yata na mali sa soot ko. I'm wearing a black slack and white tube at itim rin na coat and a six inch sandals. So I think wala namang mali.
“uh.. do I know you?” I asked him
“of course hindi kita Kilala, sino ka ba?” sunod kung tanong sabay taas ng kilay.
“Razvan Emric Brucé Merced” he said
“That's too long” Saad ko
“Its not your name you don't need to complain.” he said in a cold tone
I shrugged and drink another shot of tequila as I taste the bitterness of the alcohol kasabay ng pag blurred ng paningin ko ay ang halos pag tumba ng ulo ko sa digdib nya na agad naman akong na patayo and he's jaw tighten. He's so hot. I look at his masculine chest and it was unbutton that why I saw it clearly akmang hahawakan kuna sana iyon ngunit inagaw nya ito he hold my hand tight it's too tight it's like he's giggling.
Paunti unti ay lumalapit ang mukha nito sa akin hanggang sa makalapit ito and then he claims my lips it was so harsh he bite my lower lip and I taste blood. He stop. He look at me his eyes are full fire it's a lust I know it. I know it.
“Why you don't response my kisses?” he asked he's eyes direct on me he's brown chocolate eyes.
“I don't know you.” Saad ko. Ang totoo it was my first kiss that is why I don't know how to kiss back.
“I don't know you either, miss. I don't even have a plan to know you. I want to f**k you so hard.” he said and he bit his lower lip at akmang hahalikan ako but before he's lip touch mine I slapped him so hard. Wala pa akong nasampal sa boong buhay ko. He hold his check were my palm perch.
Agad akong tumayo at nag lakad pa labas ng gusali agad akong pumara ng taxi pauwi.
Pag pasok ko sa bahay agad kung narinig si papa he was talking to someone in dining area dahan dahan kung tinungo ang papunta sa dining area. The heck I heard a familiar voice again it was Dino and they talking about the marriage and I'm sure it's all about me they are planning. The f**k they will cage me tomorrow? I can't f*****g believe it.
Agad akong umalis at tumongo sa aking kwarto saka hinagilap ang aking maleta I'm not going to be cage by them. Nilagay ko lahat ng kakailanganin ko sa pag alis. Dalagang maleta ang pinag lagyan ko kinuha ko rin lahat ng mga papeles ko mula sa birth certificate ko my cash and my ATM kinuha ko rin ang ATM ni mama. I am ready to leave this house I hate my father now knowing that he will betray me just for the company.
Hindi ko magawang isaradl ang aking mga mata I am afraid that they will attack me here and cage me on Dino's house. It's 2:30 of the morning ni hindi pa nasinag ang araw I walk to my closet and get my bathrobe saka sinoot ko halos hindi ako mapakali gustong gusto ko ng umalis sa bahay na ito dumungaw ako sa bintana ng aking kwarto it was so peaceful ni wala akong marinig na ingay ng mga tao tanging mga insekto lamang, I felt the calmness.
Tumunog ang selpon ko nasa ibabaw ito ng aking higaan agad ko itong tinungo and I saw the name it was Raquel, she's still awake at this hour.
"Hello?”
“Elis, where are you? You slapped Rem? Is that true?” she said
“I'm home,Raq. Umuwi na ako kanina pang 10 pm and yeah I slapped him hard I don't like him Raq. You know what h' wag muna uli ako e pakilala sa kahit na kanino, para kang bugaw.” inis kung sabi. She laughed.
“I'm leaving, Raq. Don't you dare try to tell my father. I need to go somewhere.” paduon kung sabi.
“sure, where are you going? The heck I'm gonna miss you Elis.” she said in a sad tone of her voice.
“None of your business, Raq. Not now I need to find my place somewhere.”
“Okay mag ingat ka ha wala na akong ibang kaibigan na magandang habulin ng mga lalaki.“ she said
“ikaw rin love you Raq, bye.“ I said I felt the heaviness of my chest like it's something that I can't explain yet.
Pag katapos ng tawag ay agad akong nag tungo sa bathroom para maligo at maka alis ng umaga at walang maka kita. It was already 4 in the morning and I'm wearing a short and a color khaki hoodie and just a flip-flops shoe. Dahan dahan akong bumaba ng hagdan and I'm thankful that the are still sleeping, I'm not going to use my care anyway. Slowly ng makababa ay hinila ko ang ang dalawang maleta ng dahan dahan and I reach the door of our house dahan dahan kung pinihit ang door knob ng aming pinto saka dahan na lumabas. Ng marating ko ang labas ng gate ay agad akong nag lakad habang hila hila ang dalawang maleta. The heck I'm look like a homeless girl now. Hindi ko alam kung saan ako pupunta I never plan this. May nakita akong isang taxi at agad ko itong pinara at sumakay I don't know where I'm going all I want is to go away now.
The car stop I don't know this place yet it's not familiar. I'm Infront of the Jollibee? I'm f**k up now. I tell the driver to bring me where I can feel happiness and joy and be satisfied and seriously I ended up here, Jollibee. It's already 6 :00 in the morning and my stomach is starting to ache I need food now. I started walking to find other place or hotel and yet I can't find one that will suit me. So I asked a man his at age 40's he's in a bike I think and there's a word “padyak” sign in front of that thing.
“Hey do you know where I am?” I ask the man. But he didn't react he didn't even say a word and it's looks like he's confused.
“Do.. I mean alam mo ba kung nasaan ako? Or Anong lugar ba ito?” I ask again
And he nodded “Yes.. nasa Tabaco City ka po madam... Albay.” he said and he smiled at me. Agad na naningkit ang aking mga mata. f**k that taxi ang layo ng napadpad ko damn it.
“So nasa bicol? Ano ba ma suggest mo na lugar na magandang puntahan dito? ” I ask him again. The people are eyeing me now. Ngayon lang ba sila naka kita ng naka maleta? .
“suggest ko po madam is catanduanes pero may city din doon madam.” he said
“I don't like city.. I mean ayaw ko ng city gusto ko ng peaceful.” litanya ko
“Edi sa Isla de Miguel ka nalang madam maliit lang na Isla pero maganda may mga naka tira doon madam mga bigatin nga lang... Kaya wala masyadong turista doon pero may mga beach din doon.” he said in a worrying tone I sense that his worrying about me, oh how lucky me.
I nodded “samahan mo ako pa punta roon.” I command him sabay taas ng kilay
“Yes madam.... Pero kailangan nyo pong sumakay dito sa padyak ko para matahak mo ang iyong landas patungo sa isla.. at saka pinag titinginan kana ng mga tao.” he said
Napa kunot noo ako. I felt like awful when I'm going to ride this looks like trycicle but the move are like a bike. But I don't have a choice kumakalam na ang sikmura ko sa gutom at gusto ko ng mag pahinga kaya sumakay nalang ako.
Ng tumigil ang padyak ay agad akong luminga linga sa paligid. So this is a pier to Isla de Miguel madaming bangka ang naka tambay at nag aabang ng pasahero sa bawat baba ng padyak ay nilalapitan. Ito ba ang hanap buhay nila? Bumaba na ako at saka nag abot ng bayad ngunit hindi naman kinukuha ng mama dahil wala daw sya pan sukli Kay binigay ko nalang buo and he was so happy. He said I maid he's day full. How weird.
