Chapter 10
Gago! Wait...
Where the hell am I?
Am I kidnapped?
Alam kong mayaman kami but my family security is so strong for me to get kidnapped. Sobrang sosyal naman ng kidnapper. The room is not as quite as big as mine pero it's kinda sosyal.
I'm in a decent sleeping gown and my make-up and jewelries are off.
This is not Nina's condo unit so as Kelly. Mas lalong hindi kang Theo ito. Pangit naman kung hotel ito. Grace would never send me in a hotel like this.
The door slightly opened. I immediately got up. I checked the room for some things I can use to defend myself pero wala akong nakita. There's a side table puro jewelries, bag, at damit ko lang ang nakikita ko.
Bagong laba, ah. Laki ng utang na loob ko sa nag-alaga sa 'kin.
"You're awake already."
"Tangina..."
"That's the first thing you'll say after I took care of you? What a shame." sabi pa niya.
"I mean... how— why—"
"Breakfast ka muna. It's already nine in the morning." he said and left.
I can't believe what just happened. Am I at his house or condo?
I got up. I found a mirror at the corner and I checked myself. Mukha naman akong desente.
Lumabas ako sa kwarto and kita ko kaagad ang kusina niya. It's just a condo. I scanned the whole unit and it's so neat. Minimal lang ang furnitures and neutrals ang paint. I can just live in here with him.
He gestured me the vacant seat in front of him and I sat down. Simple breakfast lang ang nasa harap ko. Pancakes, eggs, and strawberries. Pwede na 'to maging asawa ko.
He started eating ng wala man lang sinasabi sa akin. Sabagay, what would he say.
Eh, ako? What should I say.
Kneel down in front of him and thank him for what he did?
"Uhm... pa'no ako napunta dito?" unang sinabi ko.
"You were so wasted last night and Theo told me to send you home, but you were so wasted that I couldn't understand what you're saying. Theo told me to just let you sleep in my spare room." he explained.
May option naman siyang iwan ako do'n sa ininuman namin kagabi but he chose to take care of me. May pagtingin na siguro 'to sa akin.
I can't remember what happened last night but it doesn't matter. What matters is that I'm inside his condo, only the both us. I should seize this, I don't know when will this moment last.
Patay ako pag-uwi ko nito. Buti nalang wala sa bahay sina Mommy at Daddy ngayon. Kuya will narrate his long speech if ever Grace told him. Knowing Grace, of course she will.
"By the way, I answered your Yaya's call last night. She kept on calling you but you're sleeping."
Diyos ko...
"What did she said?"
'Yong bibig ni Grace... ewan ko.
"She was weird. She told me to let your night pass in my unit. She didn't even bother to ask where you are to pick you up. He just asked for my name and told me to send you home whenever I want." walang gana niyang sabi.
Itong si Grace. Someone's gonna be fired today.
"Okay... sinong nag-ayos sa akin?" tanong ko.
I'm fully cleaned. From my head to my foot.
