Twenty Two

NAGISING SI JULIA dahil sa matinding kirot sa kaniyang ulo. She groaned loudly while holding the sides of her head. Bahagya siyang natigilan nang makapa ang bandang nakapalibot doon.

Slowly, she opened her eyes. Her sight was blurry at first. Nang luminaw ay roon lang niya napansin na nasa isang silid siya na puro puti lang ang makikita. She tried to stand but her body was weak.

"W-where am I?" tanong niya habang nasa kisame ang tingin. Her head was pounding like hell.

"You're awake," wika ng isang baritonong boses sa kaniyang gilid.

Julia's senses became alert as she tried to look at the person she was with inside the room. Her mouth hang open when she finally saw a very handsome yet intimidating man standing beside her hospital bed. He's wearing a black business suit and his strong arms were crossed above his hard chest. She blinked twice. He looked familiar.

"I already called the doctor. Your family's on the other room," walang emosyong wika nito. "How's your head?"

Wala sa sariling napahawak si Julia sa kaniyang ulo. She was still mesmerized by this gorgeous man in front of her.

Who is he? Why was he with her? What happened?

"How's your head, Julia?" he said her name smoothly.

Nakaramdam ng kakaibang kiliti sa kaniyang puson si Julia nang marinig niya ang kaniyang pangalan mula sa bibig ng binata. Her name wasn't that special. It's a common name and a lot of girls have the same name as her. Pero nang banggitin iyon ng binata, parang gusto na lang niyang angkinin ang pangalan at pagbawalan ang lahat ng mga babae na gamitin 'yon.

Who's this guy? Was is he giving me such butterflies?

"H-how did you know my name?" mahinang tanong niya dahilan para kumunot ang noo ng binata. "Did we know each other?"

"What?" naguguluhang tanong nito.

"What happened to me? Why am I here?" Ipinalibot niya ang tingin sa silid saka tumingin sa binata. "Why am I with you?"

Julia became more confused when she saw how his handsome face turned dark and scary. Ibinaba nito ang mga kamay sa gilid ng kama saka umuklo at inilapit ang mukha sa kaniya. Julia sucked her breath when she noticed how near he was to her.

What is this space? Why do I feel like I'm used to it already?

"W-what are you doing?" Umatras niya ang ulo para mailayo sa binata. Kaunti na lang ay magdidikit na ang kanilang mga ilong.

"Are you playing with me, woman?"

Nagbukas-sara ang kaniyang bibig. She felt intimidated by the presence of the man just in front of here idagdag pa ang nakakatindig balahibo nitong mga titig at ang marahas na paggalaw ng panga nito.

"I don't know what you are saying, asshole," matapang na wika niya habang sinasalubong ang matatalim nitong mga titig.

The guy scoffed and smirked annoyingly. Nagsalubong ang mga kilay ni Julia nang biglang dumagundong ang kaniyang dibdib. Sino ba ang lalaking kasama niya sa kwarto at ang kapal ng mukha nitong pabilisin ang tibok ng puso niya?

"Do you think you can fool me with your poor acting, Rivero?" His husky voice filled her ears.

Nakiliti ang kaniyang puson nang tumama ang mabangong hininga ng binata sa kaniyang bibig. Napalunok siya dahil parang nagustuhan iyon ng kaniyang katawan.
