Chapter 13
Habang nasa byahe liningon ko si Aqui na malalim ang iniisip nanatili ang mata ko sa kaniya pero hindi niya man lang ako napansin
Nanahimik ako, marami siguro siyang iniisip, he was already a ceo of the aquila's group company pagkatapos may kaso pa siyang hinahawakan, he was so busy
"Aqui" tawag ko sa kaniya kaya napalingon siya sa akin naka kunot ang noo
"May tanong ako" tumango ito at ibinalik na ang mata sa daan
"Anong parte ng katawan ang palagi mong nakikita sa daan" tumingin ulit siya saakin nakakunot ang noo
"Ano?"
"hala oo nga, tae...nga" hinintay ko ang reaksiyon niya pero wala nakatingin lang ito sa daan
Nahihiya akong tumawa "Ahh corney ba" hindi ito nagsalita kaya tumahimik na ako
"I have a question too"
Tumikhim muna siya bago magsalita "Are you made of grapes"
Ikinunot ko ang aking noo, maki grapes ba siya
"Why" tanong ko
Ibinaling niya ang kaniyang atensiyon sa akin bago magsalita "because you are fine as wine" he smile making me dazed for a moment then I look away ramdam na ramdam ko ang init sa mukha ko ganon rin ang mga sulok ng labi ko na umaangat dahil sa kilig
"Do you like wine"
"Yes...why?" Nakita ko ang pagpigil niya sa sulok ng bibig niyang tumataas
"I'll buy you one" sabi ko at pinalungkot ang aking tono at ekpresyon bago magpatuloy "but then, I'll be too jelous to your glass" namutawi ang ngiting kanina niya pa pinipigilan
" I won't let you buy me a glass"
Napahalakhak ako sa sinabi niya "Why?... because I will get jealous to your glass" I keep laughing
"Nah" he said, binaling na naman ang kaniyang atensiyon sa akin hindi iyun nagtagal at ibinalik niya agad sa daan
"Cause I don't want you to spend a penny for me, You drink, I'll buy"
I blink three times with what he said, I chuckled then nod
It was a total silence after, when he's phone suddenly ring
"Hmm"
..."should we start the investigation"
"I appreciate if you do that, update me if you find anything"
..."Yeah, you can trust me in this, don't worry, Detective Jefferson will lead the investigation
"Did you...?"
..."Nah, C'mon I'm not that kind of person that will abuse he's power, I'm not like you, there's no any connection involve"
"I never said I'm not up to it"
Matagal ang kanilang pag uusap pero binaliwala ko na lang hindi ko rin naman ma rinig ang kanilang pinag uusapan, I take a nap then after ay huminto ang sasakyan kaya napa bangon ako
"Where are we?" I ask habang kinukurukus ang aking kanang mata
"Let's eat before you go, you must be hungry" Wala na akong nagawa ng bumaba at umikot siya sa aking banda tumingin muna ako sa salamin at inayos ang aking itsura bago niya buksan ang pintu ay maayos na ako
"Let's go" yaya nito
Bumaba na ako at pumasok sa isang reataurant, It was a expensive restaurant with 4 cuisine I almost drop my jaw when I see all the menu, all of it is expensive, every dish is worth 5k pataas wala man lang tas 1000
Hindi ko alam kung anong mararamdaman ko it was like we are on a date apaka engrabo ng restaurant at ng mga pagkaing nakahain sa amin pero higit pa ito sa inaasahan ko dahil ang taong kaharap ko ngayon ay walang iba kundi ang taong hinahangad ko, It's more than enough na kasama ko siya , It was my first time to be in a restaurant like this so I'm not really comfortable
Tumingin ako sa kaharap ko at nakita ko kung paano nito i-slice ang steak, the way he hold he's fork scream elegant, nahiya ako ng tingnan ko ang ibang kumakain I feel like an outcast with the people eating here, all of them are dress very well, naka limited edition victoria sunset dress, luxurous bag, expensive accesories halos lahat ng mga suot nila makikitaan mo ng karangyaan at kapangyarihan, all of them shows elegance and luxouriance habang ako ay naka suot lamang ng simpleng pantalon at simpleng white t-shirt maybe I should buy a decent clothes na
"Are you okay?" Iningat ko ang tingin ko kay Aqui ng magsalita ito
"Huh?...ah yes, yes of course, why?" pinilit kung mag mukhang masaya
"You don't look good"
I chuckled to hide the shyness and pain inside me but the chuckled turn into a force one so I make a joke to divert his attention from it "Are you saying I look ugly" sabi ko habang tumatawa ng pilit
It was a total silent so I thought It was a success but then he talk again
"You look uncomfortable" huminga ako ng malalim sa sinabi niya, my smile earlier fade, I was about to say "I'm not" pero naunahan niya ako
"And no, you're beautiful Eli, the sun and the stars must be so jealous because of how beautiful you are, you don't wear make up, but a little blush in your cheek will make all of the trees bow down to your natural beauty, all of the beautiful things in the universe is in your eyes Eli, so don't even think of the word ugly, it doesn't even exist in you." Once again I was stunned, frozen and shocked with everything he said and what did he called me, Eli... I smile to him, a tear almost flow from my eyes, he really want to be excemption from others, Eli, I love how he called me Eli, it will be the best nickname I got, I chuckled and nod at him
"Thank you"
"No need to thank me, It's already an honor for me to have a drink with a goddess"
Humalakhak ako sa mga galawan niya
"Galing ah, san mo nakukuha yang mga pick up lines mo, ha?"
He smirk "I learn it from the goddess who once hit with me"
Tumawa ulit ako sa sinabi niya "I never make move on you"
"Really, I thought you alway move with me, with rythm pa"
Halos mabuga ko ang iniinom ko sa sinabi niya, I was caugh off guard, wth, why would he say that, I feel all of my blood rush into my face kaya agad kung binaling ang aking paningin sa kaniya
Patuloy lang ang paghalak-hak niya even he's laugh is so sexy, it was husky and deep para hinihigup ang tainga ko sa mga tawa niyang nakakabaliw pakinggan, I would record it if I got a chance then make it my ringtone, goshhh ba't ang init dito
