Magsasalita pa sana ako nang tumunog ang phone ko. Agad akong lumapit sa table at kinuha ang phone bago sinagot ito. Nilapit ko ang phone sa tainga ko at hinintay kung ano ang sasabihin ng tumatawag.“Rielle!” Napapikit ako sa wakas nang marinig kong sinigaw niya ang pangalan ko. It was my friend, Nicole.“Hey, why are you shouting? And where are you?” I asked. I can hear her background from here. It was like she's on the car. “Well, I didn't told you last night. I'm going to my grandparents' Villa today. I really miss them.”“Oh, good to hear that.” I answered. I accidentally look at Elijah's direction who's patiently waiting for me. “Just take care of yourself.”“Thanks! Oh, by the way, the manager called and asked us to go to his office on Tuesday. He needed employees by next week.” Manager? I thought it will be on the next two weeks? Naka-schedule ang trabaho ko sa last week ng April kaya nakakagulat na kailangan nila kami sa lalong madaling panahon. Pangalawang linggo pa lang
As we arrived at the safe place that Elijah was talking about, we were welcomed by some of the The Falcon members. I saw Daniel who's waving at us while Zaine's just looked at the car as we park along side with them.The place is surrounded by trees and two houses were built beside each other. It looks spacious and neat with the paint they've used. There's also a garden in front of it. A balcony on each houses made it more broad to see.Ni hindi ko magawang ngumiti o batiin sila pabalik. Nabibigla pa rin ako at nanginginig sa takot dahil sa nangyari. Hindi ko inaasahan na magiging ganito. The peaceful groceries buying that I thought was changed by an unexpected outcome.Even though Sean Elijah's been telling me that I am safe with him, there's still uneasiness within me. Natatakot ako hindi dahil sa nangyari, kun'di dahil sa mga taong bahagi ng The Hawk. Those people are capable of having trouble and danger. Even if I'm hiding and totally prepared, there are still chances that they w
I woke up earlier than expected. It's still six in the morning and I decided to work out today. I didn't have enough sleep because of what I did last night. After I eat, I walk back to my room, all I thought was Elijah's sudden walked out. He's been flurrying my mind. And even his expression when he looked at me, how he stares, and even how he will react when I am with him gives an impact on me.Honestly, it really confused me with his mixed signals. Gusto kong malaman ang motibo niya kung bakit siya nagkakaganito. Gulong-gulo na talaga ako pagdating sa kaniya, at hindi man lang siya mawala-wala sa isip ko.Yung mga kilos niya, pinaasa ako na may nararamdaman siya para sa akin. Na concern din siya, not just a friend but more than that. But who am I bluffing? It's quite impossible for that.Even though I wanted to get out of his life, it's like fate is making its own way. Binibigyan ako ng pagkakataon na makasama siya. At sa pagkakataong iyon, lihim din akong umaasa. That maybe, afte
Hinawakan ko agad si Rash sa braso at pinigilan siyang gawin iyon. I pulled him away from my brother who's already holding his lips. William looked at us and the side of his lips started to swollen. “My gosh! What did you do?” I shouted before I went to my brother to check him. I glared at Rash who's also glaring at kuya William.“What did he tell you?” He asked as his voice is stern and cold. “Tell me, Rielle!”I pursed my lips while looking at him. Hindi ko alam kung bakit siya nagkakaganito. Nakita niya lang akong umiiyak at namumugto ang mga mata kaya niya inaatake si kuya William.“We're just talk something important here! What are you saying?” I shouted back. “Did he tell you about my father?” He's still glaring at us. “Rash.” Napatingin ako kay kuya William na mahinahong tinawag si Rash. Hindi ito natinag. Mas lalo akong natakot sa tinging ibinigay ni Rash kay kuya. I can't see any emotions on his eyes. His face was void of emotion. It was different from earlier. “What did
The next day, kuya William and kuya Rash was already at my condo unit. Nagulat pa ako nang sinundan nila agad ako rito. Akala ko magtatagal pa sila sa safe house na iyon.“We still have a life,” Kuya Rash answered while roaming his eyes on ny condo unit. He plastered a smile on me. "Nagstay lang ako roon ng dalawang araw, kuya Rash." Hinayaan ko silang maglakad papasok sa condo ko. Mukhang kailangan kong sanayin na tawagin na siyang kuya."Gusto mo lang siyang iwasan, Rielle." Ngumisi sa akin si kuya Rash. My heart pounded at the next thing he said. “I know what you're doing.”“What?” I arch him a brow. There's a possibility that they know something. They saw me got heartbroken again. I just don't know if they care or what. Umupo siya sa sofa habang nasa center table ang mga paa niya. Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin pero wala naman siyang pakialam. “Elijah knew all along that you're developing feelings. He just rejected you because he thinks that it's the best way.”I pouted a bit at wha
The house was done renovating and designing as per my mother's request. The interior designer made a really good job in the style and materials they've used. I feel like I wanted to stay here for weeks.My mother brought us to the living room as the maids are bringing our things to our respective rooms. Nagulat pa ako no'ng una nang makitang may pitong kwarto na pala rito. Alam kong dalawa lang ang guest room noon, pero ngayon ay dinagdagan na pala ng dalawa.I wonder if kuya Dash went here before? Kuya Rash expression seems like he wasn't been here before. He was also shocked to see our house. He maybe thought that there are other places for our mother to stay. Our house looks modern but it's not as huge as kuya Rash expected. He may live a very luxurious place. Just with his last name, Ferrer, you'll immediately recognized them for being a multi-billionaire and has different chains of companies, not just in the Philippines, but in other countries as well. Hindi naman talaga gano'n
I was observing them eventhough my heart is beating so loud because of what's happening. Nakatutok ang baril ni kuya Rash kay Jake. Hindi ko na maigalaw ang mga paa ko dahil nanginginig na ito. Hindi ko sila kayang pigilan.Naguguluhan na talaga ako sa mga nangyayari. My mind is really perplexed that I can't even digest every single word they are saying. I don't care if they know each other. All I want is for them to stop.Hindi kumibo si Jake at nakatitig lang kay kuya Rash na nasa harapan niya. Hindi man lang siya nagreact nang tinutukan siya ng baril sa ulo. Nakatingin lang siya sa kapatid ko at para silang nag-uusap gamit ang tingin.Umigting ang kaniyang mga panga habang pinagmamasdan ang kaibigan. It's a bit new to see them in this situation. If they're really friends, why does one of them points a gun to the other?“You're really sure that I can't twang this gun.” I heard Rash said before he slowly pulled out his gun and put it on his pocket. I heaved a sigh in relief. “You kn
“We're okay right?” Elijah asked, a bit unsure. My brows knitted as I stared at him. My mouth slightly gaped as I searched something on his green orbs. But I can't see anything. Nakatingin lang siya sa akin, walang bahid ng emosyon ang mga mata. Mababa ang tono ng boses at masasabi kong seryoso siya.“E-elijah...”“You're saying things like this because we're not in good terms. You're telling these things because you don't trust me,” he uttered with his deep voice. “We're not really okay, Rielle. We're both pretending to be.” I bit my lips as part of what he said are true. But I should still focus on what I observed on him for the time that we're together. Alam ko sa simula pa lang ay may mali na. At ngayon ko lang ito napagtanto.He was pretending to be a good guy, like the one he was before. He was a gentleman. He let me feel that I was special to him. That I am his best friend. But all of it were just lies. He's a playboy who will always loves to play girls' feelings. And I was o
