The La Asuncion's Muse

Chapter 19

"Thank you for today, Nate." Sabi ko pagka baba ko sa kotse.

He held the door open for me and closed it when I'm finally out.

"That's fine, I really hope I did make you feel at ease even for such a short time." Nginitian ko siya.

This.. doesn't feel like the first time we met.

Hindi ko alam kung ang bilis ko lang bang mag sawa or what.. for me to feel this way.

"You did." I said.

After saying our goodbyes, pumasok na ako sa loob.

I haven't seen any of my so called family, so maybe they're not yet home..

Pagka pasok ko sa kwarto, I ran and jumped into my bed staring at the ceiling.

Why does my life created like this?

SO COMPLICATED.

I closed my eyes and hoped to be awaken when dinner's ready.

...

It's been weeks, and all I know is that my Dad fortunately doesn't have a choice but to re-schedule the demolition project to the La Asuncion's orphanage because of his hectic schedule..

And it's been weeks.. since I started to avoid Alexus for his own sake.

Dad also hired two body guards to monitor me, and it's killing me alive.

Dumoble ang matang tumatama sa akin kumpara sa nakasanayan ko, at sino ba kasing hindi mapapatingin?? I have two people at their 30's side by side wearing a freaking suit, sunglasses and a body like a bouncer.

At kung sinong kausapin ko, tinatanong nila ang mga pangalan.. that's why I decided to avoid talking to everyone.

—cause even the seat where my seatmates sits, inalis nila ang upuan at doon tumayo.

I can never focus on anything with this burden my Dad gave me.

I was now peacefully reading a book to my usual spot, and I saw Alexus on the corner of my eyes.. agad akong napa tingin sa kaniya at pinanlakihan ng mata.

He's been trying to talk to me since then, pero ilang beses na siyang naharang nitong dalawang lalaki.. their names were kuya Gab and kuya Ben by the way.

Alexus just smiled at me and do a flying kiss before running away like a child. I can't help but to let out a little smile.

Tumayo ako and without a word, kuya Ben and kuya Gab walked with me.

"Seriously?? Kahit sa hallway ng girl's bathroom??" Naiinis na sabi ko nang tumuloy sila sa pag sabay sa akin.

"Hanggang doon lang po kami sa pinto ma'am." Sagot ni kuya Ben.

I rolled my eyes at the back of my head before proceeding to walk again, pag pasok ko sa loob ay tila naka hinga ako ng maluwag nang mawala sila sa paningin ko.

I looked at myself in the mirror, and I look terrible.. probably because of all the stress I'm having.

Ibinaba ko sa sink ang bag ko at nag hanap ng suklay para makapag ayos ng kaunti, and as I was digging on to my bag, Cassi came out of one of the cubicles.. saglit ko siyang tinignan bago bumalik sa pag hahanap.

"It must be nice being the Fienisse Amari Villablanca.." sabi niya habang nag huhugas ng kamay.

"You're wrong." Maikling tugon ko, without giving my full attention to her.

"Wrong? But you have such a golden name.. body guards everywhere like a celebrity and you have so much attention that feels like you've stolen some of it from other people." Sabi niya habang nag lalakad papalapit sa akin.
