CHAPTER 47
It was a short ride, si Maxim na rin mismo ang sumundo sa akin. Mabait ito gwapo at mayaman but he really is not my type.
“Hey pretty, how are you?” lumapit ito at hinalikan ako sa pisngi.
“I’m fine Max, so how is your stay here in Manila?” tanong ko sa kanya nasa loob na kami ng kanyang sasakyan.
“I like Manila, but I hate the traffic.” Asar niyang sabi.
“Yeah the usual, but we can go to the beach if you want to 3 days’ vacation is that okay with you? Suhestiyon ko sa kanya.
“I’m not really fan of beaches but if you insist why not.” Tugon nito.
I arrived at Manila at 3 in the afternoon and Maxim manage to hire a private plane to Palawan. Iba rin talaga ang mayaman, para akong bat ana excited mag beach kahit ang bahay naming sa Ilocos ay nasa harap lang ng beach kasi nga di ako makapag bikini sa amin. Kulang na lang balutan ako ni Kuya at Sandro ng kumot.
“Here is the card for your room Nazneen, just enjoy our stay.”
“Of course, it’s been a while since we went out for a vacation it is nice having you here Maxim. Just call me if you need something, between the two of us mas alam ko ang Pilipinas kaysa sayo.”
He smirked and said “alam ko.”
I kept on thinking aalis na lang ako after this, I will disappear in their lives for real magpapakalayo-layo na lang ako. Hindi ko kayang ikasal sa taong hindi ko mahal at lalong hindi ko kayang saktan si Sandro. Ngunit paano magpapakasal man ako sa iba o hindi masasakatn ko parin siya pati narin ang aking ama.
Sa gitna ng aking pag-iisip tumwag ulit si kuya.
“Sweetie how are you? Have made up your mind? I’ll book you a ticket to Switzerland na don’t worry hindi ito alam ni dad. Okay na rin ang bahay na titirahan no one can trace you after this, but don’t ever lie to me okay?”
Mas okay ang plano ni kuya and besides marami siyang kakilala doon na pwede kong lapitan he even planned on making me one of the legal attorney of one oh his company under different name.
“Okay kuya give me 3 days to enjoy my stay, huwag mong sasabihin kay Sandro na nandito ako sa Palawan surely tatakbuhan na naman niya ang kanyang campaign.”
“okay, alwad ka dita adingko pati ni baby alwadam.”
Naiiyak na naman ako pero hindi ito makakabuti sa bata, I just wish na lumaking kamukha ni Sandro ang bata sa gandaba naman ng genes nila.
Nakatulugan ko ang pag-iyak, at nagising na lang sa tawag ni Maxim.
“Wake up, I already ordered breakfast and reserved seat in the restaurant, bumaba na ikaw ha.”
Natatawa pa rin ako sa accent at pananagalog ni Maxim he is trying too hard.
“Oo na bababa na po kamahalan.”
Nagdress na lang ako , under it was a black bikini. Hindi pa naman kita ang baby bump.
“so how was your sleep? Mom and I were finalizing the details of our wedding. May gusto ka bang idagdag?”
As soon as I heard the word wedding, I froze, hindi pa alam ni Maxim ang Estado ko ngayon and I have no intention of telling him. Maxim knows how I love seafood pero pagkakita ko pa lang sa food ay nasusuka na ako.
“heyyy what’s wrong? You don’t like the food? But its your favorite.”
Napailing na lamang ito.
“I’ll have the Filipino breakfast na lang garlic rice sana yung maraming bawang thankyou.”
Right after that naglakad lakad kami ni Maxim sa dalampasigan may mga waterpark at activity na pwedeng gawin pero bawal naman. We decided to island hop, Maxim rented a boat just for us agaw pansin din ito sa mga babae dahil sa taglay nitong kakisigan.
“Heyy hottie.” Isang blonde na tila turista sa lugar.
“uyyy tawag ka” kantyaw ko pa sa kanya.
“You know that I’m not interested Nazneen. And besides I have you.” Hawak pa niya sa aking mukha.
At this point alam kong mahal talaga ako ng lalaking to kahit noong una pay sinabihan ko na siya. If not for business talagang ayoko na ring makita si Maxim.
“Maxim, uhmmm.” Nagaalanganin npa rin ako kong sasabihin ko ng mas maaga pero sigurado akong sasabihin at sasabihin niya ito sa aking ama. And speaking of dad, I just hope tumigil na siya sa pagpapadala ng nagmamanman sa bawat galaw ko.
“yes?” sagot nito.
“ughh wala nauuhaw lang ako.” I lied.
He smiled and offered me a bottle of water. Over all nanging masaya naman ang island hoping naming. Meanwhile in Ilocos.

“Simon do you have any idea where is Nazneen” tanong ni Sandro sa kapatid niyang busy sap ag-lalaro.
“Ikaw ang boyfriend bakit mo sa akin tinatanong.” Pabalang nitong sagot.
“wtf Simon nagtatanong lang naman a.”
“exactly sinasagot lang di naman kita, malay mo iniwanan ka naman niya. Tanga ka kasi minsan kahit matalino ka. Mutalleng ka met lang nu dadduma niya manong. Doon ka nga nakakaistorbo ka.” Pang tataboy nito sa kapatid.
With that NAG-OOVERTHINK naman ang gago,in his mind what if Simon was right I’m not gonna let it happen.
Umalis ito papuntang bahay nila Kai para tanungin sa kapatid nito. Saktong nasa balkonahe ito at kumakain.
Napataas ng kilay si Alexander. “What brought you here?” mataray nitong tanong.
“Uhhmm kuya I just want to ask have seen Kai” kabado nitong tanong.
“ I DON’T KNOW, and if alam ko naman bakit ko sasabihin ano ka ba niya?”
Sandro was taken back by his answer, “UHMM SORRY BUT ID NEED TO KNOW IF WHERE IS SHE, FOR GOD SAKE ALEXANDER GIRLFRIEND KO ANG KAPATID MO”
“Really? Wala siyang nasabi ang alam ko lang kaibigan ka niya.” Alexander said in an insulting manner.
“Tell me where she is please.” Nagmamakaawang usal nito.
“Geez Sandro, stop it will you umuwi kana asikasuhin mo ang pangangam panya mo huwag ang kapatid ko.”
“I don’t care about the campaign matalo na kung matalo ang importante si Kai.”
Desperado na ito at pati ang lolo at lola ni Kai ay kanya nang kinukulit. Tawag na rin ng tawag ang kanyang campaign manager. Ayaw pa nitong umuwi ngunit tumawag ang kanyang Tita Irene.
“Sandro, Anak umuwi kana. We have something to talk hurry up Sandro.”
Mukhang emergency nga talaga ang sasabihin pati si Simon at Vincent ay tumwag rin. With a heavy heart umalis ito sa bahay nina Kai.
