Flames of Vengeance

Chapter 3: Mistook

"I think it's perfect for you" rinig kong boses ng isang lalake sa likod at agad naman akong lumingon dito

A man in his black suit.

I was so shocked in awe, he has a God-like features, I think he's not korean, from the looks of it parang may kadugo siyang german and filipino, I flinched as he raise his brows like asking me why I intently stared at him

"uhm pardon? is it me you're talking to?" I asked politely

"uhm yes I'm sorry but yes it really does suits you if you choose that dress"

"how did you know I'm looking for one?" I curiously asked

because come to think of it pano niya nasabi na if ever I'll choose this dress daw

"A good guess" he chuckled

weird as f**k.

"Bur I'd suggest you'd choose that" suhestyon niya

He has a good fashion sense as well. Di kaya siya ang owner ng boutique? He's too fromal for the job, maybe he's a business man or what? well that was just a hunch.

I drifted my gaze to him

"may I ask you a question sir?" magalang na tanong ko

"yes sure, if it's about fashion sense then I'm in" masiglang sabi niya

so he's really into fashion sense huh?

"uh, I just wanna ask you if you're the owner of this boutique" I asked out of curiosity and then he let out a little laugh

"you've mistaken me miss but I'm also just a customer here" he said while smiling

A customer? Is he gay? This boutique is meant for women dresses, so if he's a customer then does that mean he wanted to buy a dress here for himself, I was puzzled I looked at him confused.

"Oh no! it's not what you think, I was looking for a dress for my sister" I breathe calmly

akala ko talaga siya ang susuot. Sa lalakeng lalakeng porma niya niya ang panget niya tignan maging bakla. I drifted my sight at the dress again but a few seconds he left out another words

"I was about to pick this dress for her but the moment I saw you from afar I was amazed, It was like this dress was made exclusively for you" he said nor taking his eyes off of the dress

Made exclusively for me? Feel ko nga sobrang higpit nito sakin kasi napaka fitted, I don't think it will fit on me

"but from the looks of it, I guess it won't fit on me" nanghihinayang na sabi ko at hinahawakan ang layered na tela nito

"I bet it would fit" deretsong sabi niya kaya napalingon ako sa kanya

"Lately as I measured your body-" hindi ko na siya pinapatapos sa sinabi niya at agad ko siyang sinapak dagilan para gumuhit sa mukha niya ang pagtataka.

He f*****g measured my body kanina?

So habang naka talikod ako pinag pipyestahan na pala niya ang katawan ko?

stupid maniac!

After I landed a fist on his face I immediately run outside the boutique at pumara ng taxi at narinig ko namang sumunod sa akin si Lily

"unnie yah! (ate hey!)" I heard she shouted pero hindi ko na siya nilingon at agad ng pumasok sa pinara kong taxi para umuwi na.

Nang nakauwi na ako ay padabog akong pumasok sa bahay at tinanong pa ako ni Nanay Kording kung anong nangyari ngunit sobrang init ng ulo ko ay hindi ko na siya sinagot at agad na pumasok sa kwarto ko para humiga

Lahat ng nangyari kanina ay bumalik ulit sa alaala ko

That idiot. He's a maniac! He's trying to come close to me for sure nagkukunware lang siya about fashion sense blah blah

MEN ARE HEADACHES

every woman should know that.

Akalain niyo yun? harap harapan pa talaga niyang sinabi na 'Lately as I measured your body. Unang una pa lang talaga I felt confused about him, he's weird, bigla bigla nalang nagsasalita, I don't even need his opinion for the dress. But did he said the truth about it or did he just said it for me to get lured by his bad intentions? I was so close of buying the dress f**k it! pero dahil sa kanya parang ayoko na bilhin sayang yun pa naman talaga ang kauna unahang damit na nahooked ako

I jumped out of my bed at naisipang magbihis.

siguro magja jog nalang muna ako para maditract yung isip ko sa bastos na yun. Agad akong pumili ng damit sa wardrobe at nagsuot ng legginfs at sweatshirt at isinuot ang rubber shoes ko and I'm ready to go. Matagal tagal na rin akong hindi nakapag jog dito sa Jang village.

Lumabas na ako ng kwarto at tumungo muna sa kusina para magrefil ng tubig sa water bottle ko, ambang lukuha na sana ako ng pagkain sa lamesa ay biglang dumating si Nanay Kording

"iha asan ba sila? bakit mag isa ka lang na umuwi?"

"hindi ko alam baka nandon parin po sa boutique" sabi ko at nilamon ang sandwich ngunit mas lalo lamang nagtaka si Nanay Kording

"bakit mo sila iniwan? May nangyari ba anak?" nag aalalang tanong niya

"May nambastos po sa akin kanina sa boutique na pinuntaham namin" anas ko na ikinalaki ng mata ni Nanay Kording, her eyes widen as she was shocked

"May nambastos sayo?!" gulat na tanong niya kaya tumango na lamang ako

"opo" magalang na sagot ko

"teka anak pano nangyari yon?" tanong niya ulit at nilapitan at hinawakan at hinaplos ang mukha ko na para bang sinusuri nito ang mukha ko na para bang sinusuri nito ang mukha ko

"ano bang ginawa sayo? sinaktan ka ba? naaalala mo pa ba ang hitsura ng lalakeng bumastos sayo?" sunod sunod na tanong niya

"Nay kumalma po muna kayo" pagpapakalma ko sa kanya at kinuha ko ang kamay niya para tulungan na maka upo

"Kumalma po muna kayo para maikwento ko sainyo ng maayos" sabi ko at nang tuluyan na siyang kumalma ay agad ko nang sinabi sa kanya ang lahat
