A Night with a Stranger

Chapter 11

Gabi na iyon pero kailangan tapusin ni Jam ang kanyang ginagawang report para ma present niya bukas. Siya na lang mag-isa doon sa kanyang opisina. Wala na rin si Bliss kasi sinundo yon ni Night. Medyo sumakit na ang kanyang ulo. Kanina pa naman umaga masama ang kanyang pakiramdam ngunit hindi niya lang iyon binigyan ng pansin. Ipinagpatuloy niya lang ang kanyang ginawa habang tiningnan ang oras. Mag alas otso na ng gabi. Nakaramdam na rin siya ng gutom. Binilisan niya na lang ang kanyang galaw. Pagkatapos niya ay lumabas na agad siya ng opisina. Pinatay niya na lang ang ilaw.

"Oh my gosh!" gulat niyang sambit ng biglang lumabas si Light sa elevator. Akala niya kasi wala ng ibang tao.

"Hahahahaha . Your reaction was priceless. That was the first time I saw you in that state. hahahaha." sabi ng binata.

"Whatever. Mabilaukan ka sana ng laway mo sa katatawa."she said and rolled her eyes. Pagkatapos ay tinalikuran niya ang binata.

"Hey, where are you going?" tawag ni Light sa kanya

"Malamang uuwi na. Duh." sagot naman habang nag lalakad. Hinabol naman siya ni Light para sabay sila sa paglabas.

"Ihatid na lang kita sa inyo. It is already night. It is dangerous to go home alone." he said

"Thank you but I can go home safely." she refused.

"Come on Atasha.Do not be so hard-headed." he insisted.

"Bahala ka diyan." sabi ni Jam at binilisan ang paglalakad pero hiniwakan ni Light ang kanyang kamay. Parang may kuryenteng bumalot sa kanyang katawan as his hand hold her hand. Napa hinto siya saglit at nagka tinginan silang dalawa.

"I know you are an independent and strong woman but it is night. It is dangerous for you. I am not saying you are weak but it is better to think ahead."he said.

"Bahala ka diyan." sabi niya at ipinagpatuloy ang paglalakad pero naka sunod pa rin ang binata sa kanya. As much as possible umiwas siya sa binata pagkatapos nilang maghalikan sa rooftop.

"The way to the parking lot is not there. " Light said at hinawakan ang kanyang kamay.

"Bitiwan mo ako."

"Nope. Huwag na matigas ang ulo mo. " sabi ng binata. Light opened the door of his car para makapasok si Jam. Wala na siyang magawa kundi pumayag na lang. Light maneuvered his car.No one dared to talk while they were on their way. Dahil ma traffic, isinandal ni Jam ang kanyang ulo sa bintana para makapag-pahinga siya. She was slowly closing her eyes until she fell asleep.

"Ms Cruz...." ani Light pero di niya natuloy ang kanyang sinabi sapagkat mahimbing ng natutulog ang dalaga. He covered her with his coat at inayos ang pagkasandal nito.

"You are an angel when you sleep." he said " But you are like a tiger when you are awake." he smiled. Parang familiar sa kanya ang scernario na ito. Hindi niya lang alam kung kailan at saan nangyari. De Javu? He looked at her again, pero nong umusad na ang traffic, he drove his car again para mahatid ang dalaga.

"Noooooooooooooo. Nooooooooooo..." sigaw ni Jam habang natulog. Nabigla naman si Light sa sigaw ng dalaga kaya ginising niya ito.

"Jamaica..hey, wake up. "

Jamaica looked at him. Unang beses niya itong makita ang dalaga sa ganitong situation. She looked so scared.

"Hey, are you alright?" he asked her worriedly. Hindi sumagot ang dalaga. Blanko lamang ang mukha nito.

"Hey!" tawag pansin niya sa dalaga. Bigla naman itong natauhan.

"Huh? Where are we?" tanong ng dalaga

"We are outside your house. I did not wake you up because you slept peacefully," he said.

"Okay. Thank you, Mr. Del Mundo." she said casually then opened the car door to go outside. Tiningnan na lang ang papalayong bulto ng dalaga bago umalis.

"Oh anak, mabuting andito ka na." bungad ng ina ni Jam sa kanya.

"Mano po, Ma." she said at nagmano kay Ara.

"Kaawaan ka ng Diyos." sabi ng ina. "Okay ka lang ba anak?" nag-alalang tanong ng ina kay Jamaica.

"Okay lang ako, Ma. Pagod lang siguro." sagot niya sa ina.

"Oh, siya magpahinga ka na." sabi ng ina

"Okay, Ma. Good night, Ma."

"Good night, anak. I love you."

"I love you din , Ma." sagot niya kay Ara. Sanay na sila sa ganyan sapagkat iyon ang nakalakhan niya.

Pumasok na siya sa kanyang kwarto at inipinatong ang kanyang gamit sa lamesa niya.

"Baby, I love you so much."sabi ni Light kay Jam habang nanonood sila ng Kdrama series na "Doom At your Service."

"Sos, yan ka na naman." saway niya sa binata.

"Baby, I said I love you." sabi ng binata habang nakasimangot kasi hindi siya nag respond.

"I love, Seo In Guk."natawa niyang sabi para inisin pa ang binata.

"Baby, you are cheating on me. It is only me dapat yong love mo eeh." he said cutely.

"Your face is priceless, babe. hahahaha." natawa niyang sabi

"I hate you." sabi ng binata.

"You love me so much , babe."

"Yeah, I know. I love you to the moon and back but you just take me for granted. I am so sad." pa sad boy na sabi ni Ligt. Binatukan naman siya ni Jam." Ouch, baby. It hurts." reklamo ng binata.

"Pa sad boy ka pa ha. Of course, I love you too baby." she said to him while smiling.

"My naughty girl." he said and kiniliti sa tagiliran.

"hahahaha... hahahahaha. Baby, stop.. hahahaha." sabi niya. Then, Light kissed her passionately and she responded willingly.

His hands slowly move toward her and try to explore all over her body. He began to unclasp her brassier to have full access to her. She did not insist on what he was doing because she loves him so much. She was willing to give everything to him. They shared an intimate at the time. Walang pinagsisihan si Bliss kasi mahal niya ng sobra ang binata.

"Thank you, baby." Light said sweetly like cuddling her.

"Thank you for what?"

"For trusting and loving me." he smiled

"I love you so much Light Assher Del Mundo. " she said and kissed him

"I love you more Atasha Jamaica Rose Cruz. I promise that I will not leave you no matter what happens," he said

"I'll mark your words , babe."

"Pinky promise baby. Sleep now baby." sabi ni Light

"okay. Good night." she retorted. Light hummed while massaging Jamaica until she fell asleep. Pinagmasdan mabuti ni Light ang mukha ng dalaga at hinawakan ang pisngi nito.

"I never felt this way before, baby. I am lucky to have you in my life." aniya. "You are an angel, my love." he said then he fell asleep.
