HIS MOTIVES.
- - -
HE TOOK the trouble of stalking her, particularly her social media. Thanks to Owen, he now knows a bit about her background, making it easier for him to find out whatever he wants to know.
Isa na dito ang paghalungkat niya tungkol sa nobyo nito na nalaman niyang namatay sa isang aksidente. The man's life ended tragically. Maybe that's exactly how it was destined to be.
Jiro. The name of a man who owned her before…
If he were still alive, he wondered what would have happened between him and Clarity.
For the first time, he went to Casa de Gallego. He pretended that he’s there to confront them dahil hindi tumupad ang mga ito sa kanilang usapan. Nagkunwari siya na ang kapatid nito ang pakay niya kahit ang totoo ay ang dalaga talaga ang ipinunta niya roon.
Even though he said he wanted to get closer to Clarity's family first, that time he was really there for Clarity.
He wanted to see her and see how she worked as a General Manager of a famous resort. And his strong desire to know more about her forced him to act and pretend.
He felt no resentment towards Clarity nang komprontahin niya ito, ni hindi nga siya nagalit dito. At hindi niya kayang magalit dito habang nakikita ang maamong mukha nito. He just wanted to tease her and admire her perfectly arched and just-right brows that added depth to her expressive almond eyes whenever she drew them together.
"I'm expecting Raquelyn Anjell Gallego to come, but she didn't. What happened to your sister, Clari?" Hiding his grin, his eyes searched for her. Natagpuan niya ang mapupulang mga labi nitong mariing nakapinid.
"Do you know how long I waited for her yesterday? I've waited for her for damn six hours. She made me look like a fool. She just insulted my alpha male ego, and I don't like that idea," he pretended to display a different emotion to cover up his amusement.
"I-I'm r-really sorry for what happened. K-Kasalanan ko i-iyon. S-Sinumpong kasi siya ng sakit niya. Nag-panic ako kaya hindi kita n-nasabihan."
Sa pagkautal ng dalaga, he found himself smiling. He stepped forward, eyeing Clarity amusingly as he tried to reach for her.
He really fell hard for this woman from the moment he met her. Hindi siya makapali kapag kaharap ito. Gusto niya laging nagpapapansin dito. Although selfish, he wants to be the center of her attention. Hindi baleng inis ang maramdaman nito sa kanya basta nasa kanya lang ang atensyon nito.
He cornered Clarity, who was leaning against the wall with his arm also leaning against the wall.
"Tell me why, Clarity...tell me..." Malalim, marahas ang paghingang anas niya sa dalaga. Maaaring napakabilis...nababaliw na nga yata siya rito.
His actions rattled her, yet he continued. He even whispered in her ear, breathing out his compliment. "You have a very sweet, powdery scent, Ms. Gallego, and it's so nice."
Every person in this world is imperfect. Everyone has flaws and weaknesses. It's unavoidable. To live with or escape from it, it depends on how people are willing to accept this imperfection. Katulad na lang ngayon...
Malakas man siya nitong naitulak, mas lalo lamang siyang namangha sa naging reaksyon nito.
When they were alone, he couldn't help but tease her again. He only stopped when Clarity reacted in a way he didn't anticipate. For the first time, he saw how she erupted in frustration and embarrassment.
Big deal pala ito para sa dalaga kaya naman nang magsimula itong mag-walk out ay pinigilan niya ito. She resisted, but he wouldn't let her. Kahit ayaw nito ay ikinulong niya ito sa kanyang mga bisig. Some people may think he's making advances on her, but at that moment, he just purely wanted to console her.
