MYSTIQUE IN THE SIREN'S EYES

Chapter 23

Lucia's POV

Hinayaan muna namin si Enzo na makapag isip sa baybay kaya ay umalis kami ni Lio upang mag bihis sa yate para kumain sa isang restaurant sa resort.

"Good day Ma'am, Any reservations for today?" Ngiting sabi nung lalaking usheret kaya ay isiniksk ako ni Lio sa kanyang gilid. He was holding me like he doesn't want to share me with anyone.

"No, But i would like to get a table for 4." Agad nya naman kami iginaya kung saan naka harap ang lamesa sa dagat. The sun was starting to set which was a beauty to man kind.

Lio pulled the chair for me to sit in, when I was already settled in he smiled at me and sat down in front of me. He is really handsome, everything about his face's proportion is done to perfection.

"I know I am handsome Cia." Napaka hangin talaga ng taong to.

"Alam mo? gwapo ka nga kaso you're so full of yourself." His laughter roared inside the restaurant kaya lahat ng tao nakatingin sa amin. Todo naman ako napaumanhin sa kahihiyan na ginawa ni Lio.

"Kaya wag ka mag alala gwapo din ang magiging anak mo." Kumunot ang noo ko pero nang ma kuha ko na ang ibig niyang sabihin ay pinalo ko siya sa braso.

"Aray Cia, masakit!" ungot nya kaya ay napairap naman ako.

May tumikhim kaya ay nilingon namin yun, nakita namin si Enzo na naka busangot ang mukha. padabog siyang umupo sa upuan na para bang sobrang galit sa mundo.

"Let's order already, wag kamo mag harutan muna." sabi niya at sumenyas sa waiter upang mag order na.

He ordered a lot of seafood which is the most highlighted dishes in here. Puno ang lamesa ng nilagay ito ng mga waiter. Di nag salita si Enzo at nag simula na ka agad kumain. Sa gitna ng aming pagkain naisipan kong tanungi siya.

"Enz? Was that Clarice?" dahan dahan kong tanong. tumango naman ka agad siya kaya ay napatahimik ako.

"She is Clarice, pero she doesn't remember me." He was like a child making tantrums. I know he is sad that Clarice does not remember him pero I'm sure that he is happy since she is alive and kicking.

" Babalik din yan" Sabi ni Lio kaya ay nabuhayan naman ng loob si Enzo.

"Mag aantay ako."

Nang matapos kaming kumain ay nag picture muna kami sa loob, Enzo even took a video of me and Lio na nag kukulitan. When we were outside the restaurant, we saw Clarice talking an older woman.

"Ma! I don't want to get married!" Sigaw niya sa ginang.

"You will have to marry him if you do not have a boyfriend already." Mahinahon ngunit may diing ani ng ginang.

Napalingon si Clarice sa gawi namin at tumakbo, bigla nalang niyang yinakap si Enzo. Enzo was shocked at Clarice's sudden move. Even Clarice's mother was shocked. Pati na rin kami ni Lio.

"Love, I was looking every where for you! Mom keeps forcing me to get married at somebody else!" She pleaded with her wide eyes tila nag hihingi ng tutol. Enzo cleared his throat and swiftly snaked his arms around her small waist.

"Good Evening Ma'am, I would apologize but I would not allow that to happen." Maingat sinabi ni Enzo sa ginang, shocked at what unfolded in front of her eyes.
