Luciana

My eyes slowly fluttered open, and immediately the bright morning sun greeted me with its rays. I looked at the clock on the bedside table at nakita 'kong alas otso palang ng umaga. My eyes searched for any glass of water near me ngunit ang tanging nahagip ng mata ko'y yung naubos ko kagabi.

I slowly got up from the bed, and picked up the silk robe that was draped on the back of the coach at isinuot 'yon para matakpan ang silk night dress na suot ko. Dumapo ang tingin 'ko sa natutulog na si Gabriel. Nakadapa ito at halos wala ng kumot ang takip sakanya. Kitang kita ang matipuno nitong likod at mga maskuladong mga hita.

I fanned myself as I felt heat rise on my cheeks dahil naalala ko how I grabbed on those thick legs as I rode on top of him while my back was facing him. I wipe those thoughts away from my mind, at bumaba na para kamainom ng tubig.

"Good morning po m'am Luciana." Bati ng isang medyo may edad na babaeng tauhan yumuko pa ito para magpakitang galang. I was only in the middle of the stairs when she greeted me, and from here kitang-kita 'ko kung gaano ka moderno ang rest house na 'to.

I continued walking downstairs at dumeretso sa kitchen para kumuha ng baso at nangsalin ng tubig. My back rested on the counter and my eyes wandered around the house while I'm sipping the cold water.

The entire house is made of glass, the fresh tropical scenery of the beach front is on full display. Mula dito sa kitchen kitang kita 'ko ang kalmadong pagalon ng dagat at ang paghampas ng tubig sa dalampasigan habang hinahangin ang mga dahon ng mga katabing puno. There were also sun loungers symmetrically lined on the sand with beach umbrellas above each loungers. This house looks more of a vacation house kesa doon sa mansyon sa kabila ng isla, na mukang greek inspired na mansyon with its white marble columns, and structure.

I continued to sip on my water, at patuloy ang pagtanaw sa karagatan.

If I want him to fall in love with me then I need to start being a wife to him.

My brows scrunched. I've never had a boyfriend, and I grew up never really having a time for anything but ballet and my academics.

My heart sinked.

I missed dancing so much, I miss performing, and touring from different countries to dance on different stages. My life's hard work is gone, just like that.

'Kaya't kailangan 'kong pabilisin ito. If I want to go back to my life I need to make him fall in love para makuha ang loob niya, and soon enough without even realizing he'll be in the palm of my hand.' Ani ng aking isip.

"Ma'am kakain na po ba kayo ng pangumagahan?" ani ni manang, kaya't naputol ang pagmumuni ko. I put my glass down the counter-top at marahang umoo. "Ah...sige po, ihanda ko lang yung mga ingredients. Saglit lang po ma-" hindi na tuloy ni manag ang sinasabi ng biglang sumulpot si Helga at nagprisintang magluto.

"Ako na 'po ang magluluto para kay Gabriel manang." ani nito habang nakatingin sa akin. "Alam 'ko naman ano mga gusto niyang kainin." patuloy nito, para bang may ipinaparating siya sa akin.
