MY SPANISH QUEEN

chapter 6

Francis left Lilly in the car as soon as he finished feeding her, and immediately went back to his post, while Lily was left confused and messed up.

Francis is a very complex person, a bipolar but there's something inside her which tells her that he is just shielding himself from something, and she will definitely find out what it is.

"I'm going to break your shield Francis..." she said mentally.

Pagkalipas ng ilang minuto ay bumalik na din si Lilly sa may venue, at nakita niya na busy na si Francis sa pag-check up ng mga ibang pasyente. At dahil abala ito, nagawa niya pagmasdan ito nang maigi.

Napangiti siya dahil nakikita niya ang ibang katangian nito. Magiliw itong makipag usap at makarisma. Saka napansin niya ring madaming nakapilang pasyente sa binata kesa sa ibang doktor.

"Take a picture it last longer," pilyong sabi ni Nathan sa kanya na ikinataas ng kanyang kilay.

"Here take some pictures, and give me some copy," she said as she handed her camera to Nathan.

"Why me?" he asked her with his brows slightly arch.

"It's your idea, then you do it!" She smiles sweetly at him, and winked then she touch his cheeks gently.

"Sige na, halatado 'pag ako," she whispers to his ears.

"Oh, someone is looking at us with eyes like daggers," Nathan said in very low voice that makes Lilly giggles..

"Let him look at us," Lilly retorted, and hugged Nathan even more.

"Please, Lilly, dont make me lost my head. Hindi ko pa naliligawan si Sophiam Hindi ko pa nga natitikman ang kanyang hopia!"

Natawa si Lilly sa winika ni Nathan kung hindi pa nag-ring ang kanyang phone ay lolokohin niya pa ito.

She smiles as soon as she saw the caller

Roman calling...

Lilly walks slowly at the side of the venue and answered his call.

"Hi honey, miss me?" his manly voice filled her ears.

"Miss you? No, I don't!" she said so sweetly and let out a soft contiguous laugh.

"Can I see you?" she hear his soft laughs.

"Yes, you can" she said, and smiles.

"Then turn around, Honey."

Lilly immediately turn around,and saw Roman walking towards her.

She smiles as soon as their eyes meet, even walked towards him.

"Hi, Pretty Boy," she said as he smiled at her.

"Your busy? Care for a pizza?" He asked her, and laced their hands.

"Sound great, wait I will inform Nathan," she reply, and pulled him towards Nathan, who is now looking at them weirdly.

"Hi, Nate.What's up!" Roman said as soon as he saw Nathan.

"Hello Roman," Nathan greeted him as they patted each other. "Good to see you man!"

"Nathan, aalis lang ako sandali. Ikaw na bahala sa mga doctors ha?" Lilly told him.

"Ay, baka magalit si Sir Austin niyan ha. Ipinagbilin niya pa naman sa 'yo si Dr J."

"Dr J?" nakakunot na noong tanong ni Lilly.

"Yes, si Dr. F, ring a bell?"

Natawa si Lilly sa sinabi ni Nathan. He was using codename.

"Hayaan mo na siya, malaki na siya. Saka konti na lang ang mga pasyente. So, ikaw na bahala sa kanya. Don't wait for me 'pag hindi ako nakabalik, magpapahatid nalang ako kay Roman pabalik ng Castle."

"I think it's not a good idea, Lilly," Nathan protested but Lilly just rolled her eyes.

Samantalang panay ang sulyap ni Francis sa gawi ni Lily kung kaninang medyo nabanas siya nang makita na malambing na kinakausap ni Lilly si Nathan, ngayon naman ay dumilim na ang mukha niya.

Lilly is sweetly talking to a very gorgeous man with their fingers lace. His heart slices in two as he saw in his peripheral vision that Lilly is looking at the man with love and yearning in her eyes.

He can't help but wonder, if who he is? His face turns darker when he see her walked out with him.

Walang nagawa si Nathan kundi ang payagan ang dalaga. Alam niyang walang siyang karapatan na pagbawalan ito.

"Shall we?" Roman asked, and held her by her waist.

"So how England?" She asked him as they walk out the venue.

Roman opened the front seat door for her, and went to the driver seats and started pulled away and drive. He take her to the nearest Pizza Parlour.

Roman ordered Pizza as soon as they seated.

"One Hawaiian pizza and one Ham and Cheese, One mango shake and two cold beer for me," he told the waiter.

Lilly smile at him as she hears his order. "So remember my fav food..."

"Yes of course, how can I not? you're my fav cousin after all. By the way, father wants to see you," he told her as he look her in the eyes.

"Really? After all this years, he had a nerve to see me! I don't believe you," she told him with a hurtful voice.

Roman hold her hand momentarily and touch her cheeks. "Lilian, I know father had hurt you by by blaming you as the main reason of Aunt Tiziana dead, but he's sick right now and he wants to see you and ask for your forgiveness."

"Forgive him? it's already too late! How could I be responsible for mom's death when she decide to keep me alive?! My mom loves me, and my father so much that she chooses me instead of her own life. She chooses to bring me to life, even it will meant her end. Because that's what love is supposed Roman. I know Mr. Felipe Cayetana doesn't understand that, he is not capable of loving."

Yes, her uncle blame her, hindi pwedeng magbuntis ang mama niya dahil ayon sa mag doktor ay pwedeng ikamatay nito pero nang malaman ng mama niya ipinagbubuntis siya ay itinuloy pa rin nito ang pagbubuntis kahit na mapanganib ito sa kanya. At ang ending ay ipinanganak siya ng mama niya, at namatay ito pagkatapos siyang mailuwal.

Her uncle hated her and blamed her for her mom's dead, na kung tutuosin wala siyang kasalanan. Hindi matanggap ng uncle niya ang pagkamatay ng nag-iisa nitong kapatid.

"Please, Lilian, open up your mind. It's not good to hold grudges. It's unhealthy. We live to love, forget and forgive. He is your uncle in flesh and blood."

"I'm sorry Roman, but, he's nowhere to be found when I needed him. When father died, I was homeless and I needed his love and care, but, he denied me and told me that it's my karma. I was only twelve years old then, gratefully young master and Aunt Amy help me and welcome me with open arms to their family. They feed me and clothed me, so please don't force me to forgive him, I acknowledged you as my cousin, only you alone," madiing niyang sabi sa kanyang pinsan.

Roman shakes his head and sighs. He can't blame Lilian if she hardened her heart. His father was also responsible why her heart is as cold as ice and is hard as a stone.

Namasyal pa sila ni Roman at Lilly, kaya gabi na ng siya'y nakabalik ng castle.

Samanatalang nasa veranda si Francis ng kanyang kwarto nang tumigil ang isang kotse sa may gate.

Nakita niyang bumaba ang isang lalaki at binuksan ang pinto ng kotse, saka bumaba si Lilly.

Sa malayo nakita niyang hinalikan ng lalaki si Lilly na ikinadilim ng kanyang mukha.

He cursed silently, and entered his room. Napasabunot siya sa kanyang buhok. He was so disconcerted. He never felt this feeling before not even with Sarah or Wennalyn.

Sarah cheated and dumped him but he survive. Wenna dumped him also but he accepted it and move on, but seeing Lilly being sweet with other man makes his heart wring with jealousy.

Kanina nga kung hindi siya nakapagpigil baka sinuntok na niya si Nathan or ginulpi ang lalaking sumundo kay Lilly.

He never been a possessive man before, pero bakit pagdating kay Lilly ay nagiging possessive siya. Come to think of it, hindi niya naman nobya ito or hindi niya nililigawan.

Saka ilang araw lang siya na dumating ng Spain? Napaka-impossible naman na magkagusto siya kaagad or umibig dito.

Napahilamos siya ng mukha, at napabuntong hininga.

He never once believe in love at first sighting, sa tingin niya isa lang itong kahibangan pero bakit nararamdaman niya ito kay Lilly.

Could he be in love with her... in love at first sighting?
