Undeniable Romance

DALAWAMPU'T LIMA

I LOOK at whole place as I woke up. Napahawak pa ako sa aking ulo dahil sa kaunting kirot na aking naramdaman.

“Where I am?” I ask myself.

I immediately remember Keius. He was freaking the one who did this! Darn! Is he crazy to do this?

Napapikit ako sa sobrang sama ng loob. I tried to look for my phone ngunit wala ang gamit ko.

What time is it? Dad was probably worried and he's waiting for me to come home. Gago talaga ang Keius na 'yon. 

I finally stood up to open the window. Darn, I'm not familiar with this place. Sino bang baliw ang nagdala sa akin dito.

My mouth automatically fell out as I saw the blue sea.

“..you're finally awake!” mabilis akong lumingon ng marinig ko ang boses na iyon.

I don't know what to react seeing him right now after a month. I just look at him seriously.

“—so you're the one who plan this shit?” I ask while I still calm myself.

I don't want to burst out at this early moment. I want him to get crazy due to overthinking.

“Of course!” he said confidently. Kaagad ko namang naikuyom ang aking kamao.

“Great!” I smiled at him. “... fucking great Mr. Montecarlo!” I spill out.

I glare at him using my deadly look. Nakipagsukatan ito ng titig sa aking ngunit sa huli ito rin mismo ang bumigay.

“...we're already over, Mr. Montecarlo. I just want you to know.” I smirk at him but he just laugh bitterly.

“We're over yet you paid Attorney Lunberg for my freedom from the jail.” napairap ako.

“And so? That doesn't matter at all to me, Mr. Montecarlo. Tita Caroline confront me about your shit. Darn, mahiya ka naman sa mommy mo!” 

“...mom really did that?” hindi makapaniwalang tanong nito sa akin na ikinataas ko ng kilay.

“At ano sa tingin mo?”

“Baby–fuck I swear...wala akong kasalanan..”

“I don't want to hear your explanation, Mr. Montecarlo! So please, shut up. Saan lupalop mo ba ko dinala?” Jesus Christ, I wanted to grab his hair and slap his face really really hard.

“We're at the secret island of La Union, baby.”

“Stop calling me baby because I wasn't your baby. Sa tingin mo ba natutuwa ako sa ginawa mo? I already warned you yet ang tigas tigas pa rin ng ulo mo. Seriously, Cervix Nicklaus? Tapos ngayon dadalhin mo ako sa ganitong lugar without even asking my permission? I might sue you for this!” tuloy tuloy na asik ko sa kanya.

Lahat ng nararamdaman ko sa kanya ngayon ay halos sama ng loob. Gusto ko siyang bugbugin, sampalin at putulan mismo ng nasa pagitan ng hita niya sa mga kagaguhang ginawa nito.

I just look at him and he just bow his head like a kid na animo'y pinapagalitan ng magulang.

“...I was drug that night and I don't have any idea what the hell happening.” he muttered silently.

“You was drug because you left without telling me!”

“....baby, I'm trying to settle our mess–I don't want to fight with you.”
