Salmonte Series Book #1 | She Is Maid For Me

Chapter 15: The Medicine

Aliah's POV

I stood up and leave the room. Di ko na kaya ang bigat ng pakiramdam ko. Hearing those words supposed to make me happy but it's not. I dont like the fact that she's saying those and let go of me afterwards.

I was walking straight back to my room without knowing that tears are flowing down on my cheeks.

Binagsak ko ang katawan ko sa kama. Bakit sobrang bigat sa dibdib? I dont know how i feel about Nica. All i know is i cant lose her.

Di ko alam na ngayon ang uwi ni Luke. Im aware na babalik sya ng pinas pero i have no idea na ngayong araw pala yun. Di ako nag assume na kikitain nya ko pagdating na pagdating nya. That's why im so shocked to see him at school and worst is kausap pa si Nica.

Im so stunned that i cant even react nung yakapin nya ako at halikan. Im so stupid. I know Nica is there pero wala man lang akong ginawa para pigilan si Luke. I saw Hazel drag her away and as much as i want to take Nica away from her ay hinayaan ko na muna. I cant think straight that time.

I admit i was happy that luke is back. Malaki ang pinagbago nya physically pero yung ugali nya ganun parin. Same old luke na minahal ko dati. I invited him to my house to eat dinner. Sobrang lakas din kasi ng ulan kaya di kami makakain sa labas.

I was worried sick kasi late na pero di parin nakakauwi si Nica. I called Hazel and told her to bring her home. Di kasi ako mapakali knowing na magkasama silang dalawa.

I can feel my heart snap nung makita ko si Nica kanina. She looks so pale and tired. Gusto ko syang lapitan at kamustahin pero di ko magawa. And when i saw that blood on her hand, i really want to drag her and treat her. She is so clumsy as ever.

Past 11pm na nung umalis si Luke. Ayaw nya pa nga and even asked if pwede dito na sya matulog sa bahay. He said he misses me so much and dont want to waste more time. Ofcourse hindi pwede yun kaya no choice parin sya para umuwi.

As soon as luke left, i asked yaya mabel if okay na ba si Nica. She said she's burning hot with fever kaya nabitawan nya rin yung baso kanina. I was so worried so i ran to her room and check her.

This is supposed to be our last day as girlfriends. I wanted to make this day special for the both of us. I already planned a dinner date. But it turned out to be like this. I feel like she broke up with me kahit wala namang kami at it hurts me on the chest. She is still my maid and i know dito parin naman sya sa bahay uuwi, but her treatment? Im so scared that she might change her treatment towards me.

I dont want her to treat me just as her 'amo'. I still want her to be my sweet little baby who say she loves me everyday. I can say that Nica is special to me now and Im so stupid to hurt her like this. I hate myself.

Late na ko nagising kasi late na rin ako nakatulog kagabi. Pagtingin ko ng oras lunch time na pala. I skipped my breakfast again. For sure magagalit na naman sakin si maid.

Bumaba nako pero si yaya mabel lang at tsaka yung isang katulong ang nakita ko.

"Yaya si Annica po?" I asked yaya mabel

"Ah nasa kwarto po nya. May lagnat parin. Hinayaan ko munang magpahinga. Ako nalang muna ang gagawa sa mga utos nyo. May kailangan po ba kayo maam?" Sagot ni yaya mabel. May sakit parin pala sya.

"Uhm wala naman" pupunta na sana ako sa kwarto ni maid pero pinigilan ako ni yaya mabel

"Nako maam Ali wag nyo na po munang puntahan si Nica at sobrang taas po ng lagnat. Baka mahawa po kayo" pagpipigil sakin ni yaya mabel. Gusto ko syang puntahan pero baka isipin nila na iba ang trato ko kay maid kumpara sa kanila
