Chapter 1

"Lord...Lord, ang sabi ko gusto ko ng ten million, bakit mo na naman ako binigyan ng conyong little mermaid?!" he exclaimed and I was left confused.

I just stared at him while he's chuckling and laughing. His liquid black eyes glistened when the sunrays brushed on it.

"Uhm..." I hummed while watching his reaction. "Okay lang you?"

His laugh suddenly faded. From the laughing face, his reaction quickly shifted to a serious mode and to my shock, he's now poker-faced.

"Sir?" I called. "Okay lang you? You're just laughing, eh, then suddenly you became serious. You okay?"

"Mukha ba 'kong 'di okay?" he asked me with that cold face, making my jaw dropped.

"Wow! Don't tell me you're an actor?" I asked in amazement and stared at his face slowly crumpling.

"What?"

"Are you an actor?" I asked, "kasi you're very fast mag-change ng face."

The crease on his forehead deepened more and glanced at me from head to toe in his frowning face.

"Mga conyo talaga mga mukhang chaka doll," he commented.

"Hmm?" I hummed with a smile, "sorry, Sir, ah? I'm not super magaling pa kasi mag-talk ng Tagalog. I am still bulbol."

"Ano?!" his voice raised, stunning me.

"W-why are you screaming?" I asked, quite confused.

"You said..."

"Oh!" I grinned, "I said I'm still kinda bulbol in your language, I study lang kasi whenever Nana is with me or G is there. You know? Bulbol? Like when you can't say the words in a straight accent because it is a bit...you know?"

I was waiting for his reaction but I got none. He was just staring at me like I'm a ghost or something, his mouth also parting.

"Bulbol..." he mumbled, "you mean, bulol?"

"Oh!" I gasped, "is it bulol pala? Sorry, it's not my mother tongue kasi. Bulol pala! I'm kinda nalilito kasi pa, bulbol pala is the food, right? Fish bulbol?"

He suddenly sniffed dramatically, I was stunned when he tapped his chest and lifted his head again like he's been saying a prayer.

"Lord, ano bang nagawa ko sa nakaraang buhay ko para bigyan mo 'ko ng mga bulol na 'to?" he asked nowhere and tapped his chest again, "no...no, Baste, kumalma ka. Pagsubok lang 'yan, gago."

He looked adorable while talking to himself, as if he's assuring himself everything will be alright while tapping his shoulder.

"Baka bangungot lang," he whispered. "Sorry na, Lord. Susubukan kong 'di na awayin si terrorista, h'wag mo lang akong dagdagan pa ng isa. Tama, baka panaginip lang."

He stood straight and heaved a deep sigh before closing his eyes and pursed his lips.

My eyes landed on his pouty lips and it looks so soft and sweet kaya I touched my lips din.

I watched his serious face and now that his eyes are closed, I noticed how his features softened. I took my buko juice and lifted it in the air.

Slowly, he opened my eyes and my wide smile welcomed him.

"Want mo BJ?" I asked and showed him the juice and he groaned and pulled his hair, even jumping like he's been possessed.

"Ayoko na!" he growled, "ayoko na, Cap. Magre-resign na ako!" he said and then turned his back and left abruptly, making me confused.
