Alle Kapitel von Enthralling Beauty: Kapitel 71 – Kapitel 80

What Helen said shocked my whole sanity. I didn't get to sleep well last night because of anxiousness that she might do something to herself.Basing her voice and her words, I feel like she's depressed and frustrated. Knowing her parents, they aren't likely to tolerate what had happened to their precious daughter. Only me and Crezst knew about this and I couldn't imagine what will happen once her parents finds out that she's pregnant.Kung malapit lang siguro ako sa kaniya ay pwede ko agad siyang daluhan at aluin, pero ilang kilometro ang layo ko at hindi naman ako basta bastang makaalis dahil may mga responsibilidad ako sa paaralan, sa trabaho, at sa bahay."I've been calling you several times last night, who did you talked to?" Natauhan ako nang maamoy ang pamilyar na pabango na minsang ko nang nakaadikan. Napaangat ako ng tingin at ang iritado na Rafus ang nakasalubong ko."What's with that reaction? And why do you care if I'm talking to someone over the phone?" I raised my voice

We waited for almost fifteen minutes before our turn. He lowered the driver's window. The staff greeted us merrily then handed Rafus the menu."What do you want?" Bumaling siya sa akin."Basta ako ang magbabayad?"Hindi siya sumagot sa akin at ibinalik ang tingin sa menu saka dumukwang papalapit sa bintana para sabihin ang order."That much?" I gasped yet he just looked at me with that usual expression, calm.Pasimple kong tinignan ang pera sa wallet ko. Kinuha ko mula roon ang limang daan at nang iabot ko sa kaniya ay namilog ang mata ko dahil nakaabot na siya ng dalawang libo sa staff."Keep it," he simply said."But-"Pinutol siya ako sa pamamagitan ng pag-abot sa akin ng isang bucket ng fried chicken. Wala akong nagawa kundi ang kunin iyon sa kaniya at tumahimik."Just keep your money for you future expenses. You don't have to spend when you're with me, don't worry I won't charge you with anything." He sensibly said right after we received all the foods he ordered.Kinuha niya ang

I plan to spend my weekend in Iloilo with Helen and Crezst. Yesterday we explored places excluding nightclubs using Helen's car. The next day we stray over malls, restaurants, and amusement parks.Actually I wanted to oppose with the thought that Helen will shoulder our expenses because she said that she's the reason why we're here. Even Crezst dislikes the thought. We came here wholeheartedly to comfort and ease her feelings, without expecting for return."Helen, hindi ka namin sugar mommy! Kaya naming magbayad para sa sarili namin!" Singhal na sabi ni Crezst.We're in Vikings Luxury Buffet at SM City Iloilo Southpoint right now. Helen's been insisting to pay for the food. I shook my head heaved a sigh because of the determination in her eyes."Sige na! Pagbigyan niyo na ako, bukas narin naman ang alis niyo. Just treat this as farewell treat!""Maka-farewell treat ka akala mo naman hindi na tayo magkikita-kita pagkatapos nito!" Natatawa kong sabi."Fine! Treat us whatever you want, y

Kinalma ko ang sarili at itinahak ang direksyon kung saan ang paradahan ng tricycle. Ayoko namang mag-isip ng kung ano at baka paasahin ko lang ang sarili ko sa wala."Slaine..." Hinihingal na sabi ni Rafus dahil siguro sa pagtakbo papunta sa kinaroroonan ko.Nilingon ko siya at parang pinagsisihan ko iyon. Kailan pa ako nagkaroon ng laban na matiis ang nga mata niya?"A-ano?" Bigla akong nautal kaya napaiwas ako ng tingin."Didiretso ka na ba sa trabaho mo? Ihahatid na kita."Napakagat ako ng labi at hindi alam kung saan ibabaling ang tingin. "Uh hindi na kailangan, Rafus. Uuwi pa ako ng bahay kaya huwag mo na akong—""Ihahatid parin kita. And don't think that it'll be a burden on my side because it's totally not." His voice was calm and serious. I puffed a loud breath and I saw from afar that Aurora's staring at us. "I don't think that way. Maybe you have other plans to do, and you're free to leave.""Yes, I

I ate like a viking and I didn't heard any comment from him. He even wipe the side of my lips if there's an excess food on it. Ang mga diner na napapadaan sa table namin ay nakangiti at may ilang babae na lantarang pinuri si Rafus sa mismong harapan ko. It's okay for me that I'm not the only one who have been captivated by his charm. I'm not like the other girls who's too possessive, I have matured enough and I realized that it's not a big deal.In addition, it's a good thing to know that he didn't do a VIP reservation for us, because I dislike the thought. Mas magandang may nakakasalamuha kami, at kahit na medyo kakaunti lang ang kumakain dito ngayong gabi, hindi mapagkakaila na masarap ang mga pagkain dito.Rafus took care of the bill. I'm kinda embarassed because I didn't contribute any penny. I'm silent the whole time after we got out of the said restaurant and I think it bothered him."Is there something wrong?" He couldn't help himself but to ask me.
