MISMATCHED PARAMOUR (Taglish)

Chapter 3

Chapter 3 - Tutorial with him?

" Both of you should better prepare for an explanation." mom said calmly while folding her arms. Her normal aura is scary but she's scarier when she's serious. Halos hindi ako makahinga habang kaming dalawa ni kuya ay nakaluhod sa harapan nya at nakataas ang dalawang kamay. Nakatayo sa likod namin sina Ausie at ang secretary na parehong nakayuko. I can tell they are also afraid of my mother.

Who wouldn't? Facing her right now ay parang nasa bigti kami ni kamatayan! And to tell you the truth? I always get nervous every time I face her even though she's my mother. She's super strict and she's so evil. Believe me, her aura says it all.!

Gosh! Am I even alive after this mess?!

" It's all about business, mom." sagot ni kuya habang nakayuko.

" You're father and I let you handle the company for a month as you requested pero isang linggo pa lang nagkaproblema ka na. What do you think you are doing inside the club while doing business?"

"I need to sign an agreement para sa anniversary ng company. He requested to sign it in that bar. So I just oblique."

"And you didn't mind signing it inside a bar? A proper place with proper etiquette is a must while dealing business Justin. It's your first battle and you were defeated. We did not expand and develop the company to chase other companies. We are the ones who are being pursued by them. I did not expect anything from you but I was disappointed by your reckless judgment of client. "

Nanlumo ang mukha ni kuya sa sinabi ni mommy. 'Disappointment' is a big word for us. Knowing my brother is that he only wanted my parents to be proud of him. Because he's the eldest and he needs to handle our business with or without his consent kapag sya na ang namahala.

I know he did try his best and everything for the company but from my mother's perspective, he's a total disappointment. Saying it in front of you stands like you're a complete disappointment as a son.

And that f*****g hurts a lot.

Palagi nyang sinasabi sakin kung gaano ako kawalang kwentang anak kaya sanay na ako sa ganitong mga salita pero masakit parin para sakin na nakikita ang kuya kong nasasaktan. He doesn't show it but I knows he's hurt deep inside.

" And you young lady." she flashed her gaze on me. Now I'm doomed. " The school is determined to expel YOU as for your punishment. You disgrace the name of the school because of what YOU did. " she really did emphasize the word YOU, biglang nanlaki ang mata ko sa sinabi nya. It's not bad news for me!

Does it mean I'm free from those hellish rules and regulations of the school?!

THAT'S HEAVEN!

I wanted to hide my smile but this freakin face of mine did it on its own. Para akong timang na nakangiti sa harap ni mommy dahil sinabi nyang naexpelled ako. She knows I like it. I am free!

" But fortunately I was able to talk with the Rector of the school. He won't expel you but he will suspend you for two weeks." nawala bigla ang ngiti ko at napanganga sa sinabi nya. LIKE WHAT?!!

Oh, for a moment I forgot my mom was never an ordinary woman. She finds her way in everything kahit na Rector pa ng school.

" Two weeks? Payag silang two weeks ako masuspend?! I thought it was just three days?! "

" That's their condition. After that, hindi ka na pwedeng umabsent kahit kailan sa anumang subject. I'm going to homeschooled you for those two weeks to improve your intellectual abilities and you'll be grounded. No gadgets, No tv, No mall, no visitors allowed and no allowance. Bawal kang lumabas ng bahay for that two weeks and you can't do anything about it." she told me, staring with her seriousness. Napalunok ako ng sariling laway.

Two weeks?! I'll be in this hell place for two weeks?!! With her home schooled and no ALLOWANCE!!

Oh my precious allowance!

" You will never step your foot in that place ever again since the manager banned you already."

WHAT??

" How?" okay. Tanga ko para magtanong but this so absurd! My happiness has been robbed to me and it's the only thing I have!

" It's easy. I just talked to the manager and he is unaware that you are underage. After knowing that, he banned you." Halos mawalan na ako ng ulirat sa sinabi nya. Tama si kuya, I'm totally f****d up.

" And if you ever tried to escape, I already freeze your account. I'll keep you 24-hour under surveillance with four bodyguards, two will be guarding your door and two will guard you near your window. Your plan doesn't work on me so if you'll try anything stupid again. One month of no allowance wouldn't be enough. Understood?" napalunok ulit ako ng laway. " Now go your room because starting today, you'll be grounded."

With her heavy footsteps, she left the four of us in the living room while my mind is in a daze. Napahawak ako sa aking tuhod na hanggang ngayon ay nakaluhod parin, ang sakit. Hindi lang tuhod ko pati na rin ang puso ko.

Oh my gosh! I can't breath! Parang aatakihin ako sa puso. Shall I pretend that I'm having a heart attack? I big NO, baka mas lalo lang akong magrounded.

Inalalayan ako ni Ausie na tumayo then she hugged me. "I'm sorry Jiane! I felt like I betrayed you."

" Oo, traidor ka. Bakit hindi ka man lang kayo nahuli? Did you seduce the officer?"

" Of course not! Right after you left with your brother the police came, and the next thing I knew his secretary is dragging me through the exit away from the bar. It wasn't my intention to leave you behind!"

Oo, alam ko namang wala syang intensyon na iwan ako. I know she never betrayed me and she never will. I hugged her tightly na parang sinasakal ko na, kabayaran din ito ng pagdamba nya sakin sa harap ng gate. "I'm just glad you're okay." I told her.

~*~

Umalis na lang sina Ausie kasi nga grounded ako. I won't see her for two weeks. Damn with this family's rules. Ginagawa ko naman lahat ng gusto nila pero pati ba naman kinakaaliwan ko kukunin nila? This is the first time she did this to me kahit dati ay madalas din akong nadadawit sa kamalasan ay hindi pa ako nakaranas na mahome schooled at mawalan ng allowance. Worst, she even freezes my account! Grrr. I just can't believe it! She's the worst mom I ever had, an evil mom I ever had!

Lying down in my bed, I starred at the ornamented high ceiling. What's the point of having this beautiful ceiling if I can't even enjoy myself.

Nilibot ko ang paningin ko sa buong kwarto ko. Matagal na akong hindi nakapasok ulit dito dahil mas madalas ako sa apartment. My room never changed since I was a kid, still beautiful and full of expensive decorations and stuff. Ayaw ni mommy ng mga bagay na hindi maganda even my notebook should be beautiful. She's so precise to anything around this mansion, it should be neat and clean and beautiful. Kahit kaonting gusot ng kumot ay ayaw nya.

She also doesn't want old things to be kept like my childhood stuffs. Ni isa ay wala ng natira kaya nga hindi ko alam kung dito ba talaga ako lumaki. Hindi ko rin naranasang magkaroon o maglaro man lang ng barbie dolls o kahit anong laruan maliban sa libro. I was never allowed to do so.

I never enjoyed being inside of this house kaya ayokong manitili dito kahit isang gabi lang. But this time, I'm screwed to the point to that I need to stay in here for two weeks.

Feeling in haze ,I looked at my watch. It's 12 midnight, halos tatlong oras pagkatapos kami mahuli ng mga pulis. I decided to take a shower since I want to take off my makeups at inihanda ang sarili para matulog. It's been a long time that I went to bed early.

Midnight is still early for me. Kadalasan alas tres ako natutulog.

***

I woke up with a knocked on my door. Whoever that is, I know it's not my mom dahil kadalasan hindi na sya kumakatok, papasok agad sya sa kwarto kahit tulog pa ako. With my eyes still closed, binuksan ko lang ang pintuan at bumalik agad sa paghiga. I don't how I did it but I just did. I'm still sleepy and for goodness sake, it's too early to move.

Baka mga katulong lang sila na gustong maglinis. Bahala na muna silang maglinis basta ako gusto ko pang matulog.

"Miss Jiane? Kailangan nyo na pong bumangon. Mag aaral pa po kayo." somebody said, I don't know who she is but I think she's one of the maids.

" Wala akong pasok, so get lost." I told her still my eyes closed. I'm still enjoying the softness and the luxurious scent of my pillow. It's heaven.

" Pero kailangan nyo na po talagang bumangon. Kailangan nyo na rin magbihis dahil nandito na po ang bisita."

" I don't care. They're not my visitors anyway."

" Ikaw po talaga ang pakay niya dito. Kailangan nyo na pong magbihis dahil nakakahiyang nakikita nya ang pusod mo at magulo mong buhok. Pati laway nyo rin kitang kita nya."

Anong pinagsasabi nya? And why would someone plan to visit me early this morning? Sa pagkakaalam ko ay wala akong appointment kahit kanino.

" Ano ba! Bakit nya naman makikita eh nandito ako sa kwarto ko."

" Exactly, nandito din sya sa kwarto mo."

I jump in my bed at napayakap sa kumot ko. This is really embarrassing situation! She's so stupid! Why did she let anyone enter my room without my permission!

Napamulat ako ng aking mata para makita kong sino ang bisita. My isang lalaki na nakatayo sa harapan ko. 

Si Vlademir.

 I screamed with all my lungs dahil sa nakikita ko!

" ARGH!!! A DEVIL IS INSIDE MY ROOM!!!" Alam kong namamalik mata lang ako. Vlademir is the least person that I wanted to see this very morning kaya sya ang nakikita ko. Am I still dreaming? No! This is nightmare! Isa itong masamang panaginip!

Kahit hindi ko alam kung sino ang sa harap pero binato ko sya ng mga unan ko. Pilit din namang hinaharangan ng maid ang mga unan na tumatama sa lalaki.

" What are you doing?!! Get out of the way! " I hissed at her. 

" Miss, huwag nyo pong saktan ang bisita!"

" Whoever he is, I don't care!! Lumabas kayo sa kwarto ko!! NOW!" utos ko sa kanila.

" Pero Miss -"

" I said GET OUT!"

Hindi man lang nabahala ang lalaki sa harapan ko, instead he motioned his hand to the bodyguards behind him. Lumapit din naman agad ang mga ito sa kanya. 

" Security, kindly sieze this crazy woman in front of me." sabi ng lalaking napagkamalan kong si Vlademir. But wait-

Kaboses nya rin si Vlad. Inayos ko ang paningin ko sa lalaki to make sure na hindi ako nagkakamali sa nakikita ko. I rubbed my eyes several times then slapped myself just to make sure.

I was really dumbfounded nang maconfim na totoo ang nakikita ko. It's him! It's really him!

His handsome and arrogant poker face is looking at me intently. He ran his gaze on my body kaya mas lalo akong napatakip ng kumot. Gosh, kailan pa ako nahiya sa kumag na to? My body is not something I should be ashamed of.

" What are doing here bastard? Are you tryin- " hindi ko man lang napatapos ang sasabihin ko dahil binato nya ako ng unan. Ibabalik ko sana sa kanya pero hinawakan ako ng dalawang bodyguard, I tried resisting but I failed. Damn.

" Magbihis ka na. May klase pa tayo."

" I'm not going to school."

" Who told you were going to school? Your mom appointed me to be your tutor because you're suspended. I wanted to refuse but my family is indebted to your mother so I don't have any choice but to accept the offer." I groaned to myself. Curse this homeschooling! I really hate my mother for doing this! Sa lahat ng taong pipiliin nya bilang isang tutor ko bakit si Vlad pa?

" Oh yeah? Try me then kung kaya mo akong pilitin. I'm not gonna move an inch until you left the house." nakipagsukatan ako ng tingin sa kanya, I can do better than him.

" Fine then, you leave me no choice." Lumapit sya sakin at hinawakan ang laylayan ng nightgown ko. Namilog ang mata ko nang unti unti nya itong itinaas.

" What the hell are you doing?!!"

" Stripping you?"

NO WAY!

Maluwang ang pagkakahawak sakin ng mga bodyguards so grab the chance to escape. They forgot to not let their guard down. Nakipaghabulan pa ako sa kanila but in the end I gave up. Hingal na hingal silang nakahawak sakin pati na rin ang maid dahil sumali din sya sa habulan. Sino ba nagsabing habulin nyo ako? Tss. Weak.

Lumapit sakin si Vlad with his usual poker face at akmang hahawakan ulit ang laylayan ng nightgown ko. Pero tinapik ko ang kamay nya gamit ng tuhod ko dahil hawak ng mga guards ang dalawa kong kamay. I can do that, FYI.

" Fine! Ako na ang magbibihis sa sarili ko! Just get out of my room." I told him. Haler, sino gustong magbihis na nariyan SILA habang nakatingin. Servants aren't allowed inside while I'm changing.

" I can't do that. Baka susubukan mong tumakas ulit."

" Why would I do that?"

" Because you just did." 

" But I want to change alone!"

" You can change, pero maiiwan ako dito sa loob ng kwarto mo. I'll give you 20 minutes to prepare at kapag lumagpas ka, I'll barge inside that room. " he said pointing at the door of my bathroom. I just rolled my eyes at him.

"Whatever."

Lumabas na sila at nagpaiwan nga ang kumag. Pumasok na ako ng cr habang dala ang towel ko. Exactly after ten minutes ay lumabas na ako na ako ng banyo. Hindi naman talaga ako dalagang pilipina kung kumilos, I can do things faster if I really wanted to.

Paglabas ko ay nakasandal sa pintuan ng room si Vlad. He met my gaze at pinasadahan nya ng tingin ang nakaroba kong katawan. I was wondering kung may iniisip bang kahalayan ang kumag na to? He's a certified geek na walang alam kundi mag aral. I'm positive na hindi pa sya nagkakagirlfriend.

" Wanna see me strip naked?" I asked him smirking.

Hindi sya sumagot sa halip ay nakita kong namula ang kanyang tenga. What the fudge. He's blushing! Natawa ako sa biglang pamumula nya. Don't tell me hindi pa sya nakakita ng babaeng nakaroba? 

" I've seen so many naked bodies better than yours. So shut up." he said avoiding my gaze.

What deoes he mean by that?! Ibig sabihin pangit ang katawan ko? Baka naman gusto nya pang ibalandra ko sa harapan nya nang malaman natin kung gaano kaganda ang katawan ko? But of course I'm not stupid para gawin iyon. Ano sya sinuswerte?

" You've seen so many? So you're a manwhore. Hindi halata ah." Malay ko bang marami na pala syang nakikitang hubo't hubad na babae. I'm not really sure if he's a manwhore or whatever, yun lang talaga ang lumabas sa utak ko.

" I'm not a manwhore. I've been in so many cases that involve naked women. You're too judgemental Jiane. " paliwanag nya. I just made a face at his remarks.

" Whatever." Kumuha na lang ako ng isang high waisted denim shorts and a white shirt. I want to wear comfortable clothes since hindi naman ako pwedeng lumabas ng bahay. Hindi na rin ako nag abalang mag make up na kadalasan kong ginagawa. Naglagay lang ako ng liptint at press powder and viola!

I'm still gorgeous!

Vlad lead me towards the study hall. Mas alam nya pa ang daad patungo sa study hall kaysa sakin kahit na ako ang nakatira dito. Simula pagkabata ko ay isang beses lang ako nakaapak sa lugar na to. Haler? 

Study Hall plus Jiane? Not a good combination.

The appearance of the study hall is something I hated the most. Para akong nasa loob ng isang malaking espasyo ng presinto na puno ng libro. It contains books from floor to ceiling, it's too stuffy and dusty kahit naka aircon. There are also two desks at the center probably for me and kuya pero dahil wala sya ay si Vlad na lang muna ang gagamit. There are also computer monitors in each desks.

Nilapag ni Vlad ang kanyang backpack at kinuha ang laman nito, perhaps our lessons from each subjects.

" Now, shall we start?"
