Chapter Four

[Ari's POV]

"Doctor Montero, sandali!" sigaw ko. He had already entered at the small gate beside the guardhouse.

I was catching my breath, gladly he turned but this time he looked at me exasperatingly like I was too impossible. Lumapit ako doon. I was desperate. Nilunok ko na ang hiya at kaba ko.

"What the hell are you doing, woman? You just sprained your ankle, gusto mo bang hindi makapaglakad ng dalawang linggo? And for Pete's sake can you leave me in peace?!" galit nitong singhal saka napatingin sa mga paa ko. "Fuck!"malutong na usal nito.

Napatingin ako sa mga paa ko, oblivious, and then it suddenly dawned on me!

Oh my! My pair of Louboutin! I left it inside the taxi!

"Rafael!!! Baby bro! You're just in time! Lunch is about to be served!" I heard a woman's voice calling out somewhere far pero hindi ko pa makita ang mukha nito.

Napamura muli ang lalaki at napatingin sa guard house.

"Pasensiya na po Sir Raf, nagbilin po ang mommy niyo na itawag agad kung nandito na kayo."

He raked his fingers through his hair, heaving out na tila frustrated. His eyes were annoyed nang tumingin muli sa'kin.

"Baby Bro! Why are you wearing a scrub suit? Nangtitrip kana naman 'no?" biglang bumungad ang babae sa likod nito at iniyakap ang mga braso nito sa braso ni Doctor Montero. She has soft and pretty feautures at may pagkakahawig ang ilang feautures nila ng lalaki. "Oh," namilog lalo ang mga mata nito pagkakita sa'kin. "May kasama ka pala bakit hindi ka nagsabi?" sinapak nito ang braso ng lalaki. "Where are your manners bakit hindi mo pa pinapapasok ang bisita mo?" nangislap ang mga matang nakatitig ito sa'kin pagkatapos ay bigla naman iyong nagtaka nang makita ang mga paa kong walang suot.

The concrete was a little hot and I just had my foot spa and pedi yesterday. I'm afraid I have to visit the salon again tomorrow. Uhhh. And my Louboutin? I just purchased those shoes! Nakakapanghinayang!

"I'm going to go inside, Ate, ikaw na ang bahala sa kanya," balewalang sabi nito saka iritableng tinanggal ang kamay ng babae sa braso nito.

"Mom will be--"

Bigla na itong umalis at saka iniwan kami doon.

"Rafael!!!" sigaw ng ate nito pero nagtuloy tuloy lang itong naglakad. "That man!" himutok nito bago ako binalingin. "I'm sorry about that. May pagkasumpungin kasi ang lalaking iyon. I'm Cassandra, Rafael's sister but you can call me, Cassie. Come on in," she politely said. Inalalayan pa akong pumasok. "Ayos ka lang anong nangyari sa paa mo?" Saka nito binalingan ang guard. "Kuya Jo, pakitawagan nga po si Manang Bebe, pakisabi magdala ng komportableng tsinelas about size seven para sa bisita ni Rafael."

"I'm sorry. I'm Aria Yui Sato," napalunok kong sabi. Ghad, how am I going to explain this? I'm inside unfamiliar territory. Doctor Montero's house for crepe's sake? Ni hindi ko kilala ang mga tao dito. Kung anong klaseng mga tao sila. Are they as intimidating as that doctor? This family must be high and mighty. A group of achievers.

During my background check, his older brother is the CEO of ford's number one rated company this year. Baka mag mukhang engot ako sa harap nila. At baka kung ano-ano ang itanong sa'kin.

Pero strangely, I don't feel any tinge of intimidation with this woman. Her air feels warm and she seems nice. Sasabihin ko ba sa kapatid niya ang pakay ko? "Uhm about this..." natigilan muli ako.
