Safe Ride With You

Chapter 19

Alas sais palang ay nagising na ako dahil sa ingay ng cellphone ko

20 missed calls and 20 messages from just one person.

“What now?” I raised my voice when I answered the call

I am sleeping peacefully but that, Tipp didn’t want to stop calling because he was excited.

[It’s too early for you to be angry with me] he laughed

“How can I not be angry with you when you disturb my beauty sleep?” sarkistong tanong ko

[You don’t need beauty sleep to be beautiful, you used to be beautiful even without sleep.] He tried teasing me, but I just rolled my eyes and ended the call

I know it was rude to him, but I don’t care, since he disturbed my sleep.

“Good morning ma’am, your breakfast is ready.” Sabi ng isang helpers habang kinakatok nya ang kwarto ko

Lumabas na ako ng kwarto at kasabay nun ang paglabas din ni daddy sa kwarto nya.

Pinauwi ko na si dad sa bahay simula nung pabalik balik sya sa ospital, sinabihan ko din sya na tumigil na sya sa pagtatrabaho and I will provide our needs, since nag t-train naman ako kay tipp, I think my salary of being a trainer is that enough.

“Tomorrow, I will go back to work since I am much better now.” Sabi ni dad habang kumakain kami

“I already told you-”

“Sweetie, I don't want to see you suffer because of money” He cut me off

“Just let daddy to work and buy you a lot of dresses and bags.” Aniya

“You don't want to see me struggling to find money, but your health and heart will suffer, dad I already told you I don’t want to see you like that.” I scolded him.

Ang tigas kasi ng ulo, paulit ulit nang sinabihan.

We don’t suffer with money that much na aakalain mong wala nang makain, or mangungutang na.

I still have money on my credit card, at sinabi din sa akin ni daddy na may pera sya sa bank, kaso nga lang ay mukhang pangsahod nalang yun sa mga helpers, kaya naghahanap ako ng trabaho para sa ikakabuhay namin lahat ng nandito sa loob ng mansion.

“Okay I let you work, in one condition.” Sabi ko sabay pagkross ng dalawang kamay sa dibdib.

He laughed at my words, but I just stared him.

He looks like a younger brother na hindi pumapatol sa mga rants ko, he is just listening and nodding.

“What’s your condition, my love?” Aniya

“Take operation and I let you work.” I answered

“No way.” He said

“Then it’s a no for you to work.” Sabi ko din saka umalis sa hapag kainan

I entered my room and I showered before changing my clothes, ready to face that asshole, Tipp.

He messaged me minutes ago na kaylan daw kami magsisimula, he really excited like her sister huh.

To: Tipp Asungot

Meet me at the grand field, I’m on my way now, bring your big bike I don’t have mine.

I texted him at nakareply naman yun ng ‘okay’

“I brought a… friend.” He panicked when he saw me coming to their directions and when he saw me staring at them.

They were about to kissed but they stopped.

A friend huh.

“Are you jealous?” Tipp whispered on my ear ng mabusy kami sa pagsusuot ng gears.
