HINDI MAIKAKAILA NI DOLION na nagseselos s'ya. Nagseselos s'ya dahil nakita n'yang nakangiti at halatang masaya si Anica kasama ang ibang lalaki. Alam n'yang wala s'yang karapatan pero nagseselos s'ya bang subra na gusto na lamang n'ya maglaho sa mga oras na nakita n'yang magkasama ito. Nasasaktan din s'ya.
Hindi madali para sa kanya ang iwasan si Anica pero alam n'yang malaki ang galit nito sa kanya kaya ayaw n'ya itong pahirapan pa. Gusto n'yang iwasan ito para maiwasan din nilang magkasakitan pa. Ayaw n'yang makitang umiyak si Anica nang dahil sa kanya. Pero,
“I was about to approach her and say sorry for everything. I want to fix what I have ruined. I want to fix us.” Dolion hissed. He covered his own face with his hands out of frustration. Napasabunot s'ya sa sarili n'yang buhok at sumigaw pero kahit ano mang gawin n'ya hindi n'ya maiwaksi ang frustasyon at sakit na nararamdaman.
He lay down on his bed and closed his eyes. Suddenly, someone knocked the door.
“Señor, la señorita Mantova está aquí. ella te esta buscando.” (Sir, Miss Mantova is here. She's looking for you.) A man outside informed him. He stood up and fixed himself. He immediately went out his room and straightened to the living room.
“Oh Dios mío! Ha sido una eternidad, nena. Te extrañé. Es bueno verte aquí.” (Oh gosh! It's been forever, babe! I missed you! It's nice to see you.) Khelsea Mantova hissed and walked towards Dolion. She kissed his cheek and hugged him. Dolion just stayed still and didn't do anything.
“Por favor, deja de llamarme nena, Khelsea. No hay nada entre nosotros.” (Please, stop calling me babe, Khelsea. There's nothing between us.) Dolion nonchalantly hissed and took a deep breath.
“Bien, bien! Pero, ¿puedes simplemente ponerme las manos encima?” (Fine, fine! But can you lay your hands on me?) Khelsea seductively said and slid her hands from Dolion's shoulder to his biceps and made some soft squeezes. Inis na inialis ni Dolion ang mga kamay nito at inis itong tinitigan.
“What do you need?” he asked nonchalantly.
“Ah, nothing! I just heard that tiyo's daughter has been found. I wanna see my dear cousin.” she answered and looked around. Suddenly, Anica walked in the living room with a grumpy face with Ophelio on her back.
“Oh are you tiyo's new assistant? I've heard he want to change his assistant.” Matinis na boses na tanong ni Khelsea kay Anica at lalong hindi na maipinta ang mukha nito.
“I suggest you to shut up. Your high pitch voice is very unpleasant and irritating.” Anica hissed and opened the television while Khelsea and Dolion was still standing there.
“What did you say—” inis na saad ni Khelsea na agad namang pinutol ni Dolion ito.
“She's Sir Bel Monte's daughter, Anica Carcueva.” Dolion hissed and Khelsea seems shock. After a while, she nodded multiple times.
“No doubts, she has the same features as tiyo. She's pretty but rude.” Khelsea said and looked at Anica. Anica just stayed looking on the screen.
“Anica, she's Khelsea Mantova, your cousin from Sir Bel Monte's side.” Dolion introduced Khelsea to Anica. Khelsea offered her hand but Anica didn't accepted it and stood up.
“Nakakainis!” bulong ni Anica bago tuluyang umalis at iniwan sila roon, agad namang sumunod si Ophelio rito.
“Anica!” Ophelio called and Dolion's brows furrowed in confusion. Why would a bodyguard call his client casually?
In Anica's part, she was frustratingly marching back and forth not knowing where to go.
“Grabe! Halatang naiilang iyong lalaki tapos para s'yang linta kong makakapit ha? Tapos ano? “Babe”? Hindi naman sila 'diba? Bakit ganoon nalang s'ya makaasta. Tsk.” Anica was ranting on Ophelio and he doesn't know what to do— what to say.
“Tsk. Grabe s'ya makakapit kay Dolion, para naman s'yang baliw.”
Ophelio had thought of something silly and smiled.
“Nagseselos kaba?” natatawang tanong nito at agad s'yang tiningnan ni Anica.
“Ha? Selos? HAHA bakit naman ako magseselos? Ano ha? Hindi naman kami, sus! Naiinis lang ako!” Anica denied and Ophelio chuckled.
“Your eyes seems to be telling the opposite.” Ophelio hissed making Anica stopped moving. She looked at him with sad eyes and sighed deeply.
“Eh kasi naman!” asik nito at napanguso lalo. Ophelio patted her head and smile.
“Anica, Khelsea have been so obsess with Dolion but young master never showed interest on her kaya wala ka dapat pagselosan.” Ophelio said making Anica stop sulking.
“Talaga?” tanong nito na tinangoan ni Ophelio. He tried to pat her head again when someone suddenly grab his wrist.
“Don't lay a hand on her.” Dolion groaned making Ophelio raise his both hands.
“Okay! Okay! Chill, wala akong balak agawin siya sa'yo.” pang-aasar pang saad ni Ophelio kay Dolion. Anica looked at Dolion full of confusion. Dolion let go of Ophelio's wrist and grabbed Anica's. Dolion pulled her away and she was trying to let go.
“Teka—” Anica shouted but Dolion didn't listen. Patuloy n'yang kinaladkad palayo si Anica at inis na nakatingin sa daan.
“Dolion! Bitawan mo nga ako!” sigaw ni Anica. Dolion immediately opened a door and calmly push Anica inside.
“Ano?” sigaw na tanong ni Anica kay Dolion nang sinara nito ang pinto. Dolion looked at her. They were meter away from each other and Dolion slowly closed the gap between them. Dolion pinned Anica in the wall and she wasn't able to look at him in the eyes.
“N-Nagkakamali ka ng iniisip.” Dolion hissed beneath his heavy breathings.
“A-Ano ba i-iniisip ko ha?” Anica hissed and looked at the right side to avoid his gaze. Dolion rested his forehead on her shoulder and he was breathing heavily. He seems to be tired or what.
“Nagseselos ako.” bulong ni Dolion.
“Why are you so close with that man? Lagi kayong magkasama at nakangiti. Dapat tayo 'yong ganoon eh. Nakakaselos, Nica.” dagdag pa nito.
“Ako rin.” Anica whispered softly.
“Nagseselos ako sa Khelsea na 'yon. Kung makakapit s'ya sayo, para s'yang linta. May pa-babe pang nalalaman.”
“Bakit mo ba s'ya hinahayaan na ganoon ha? Akala ko ba gusto mo ako? Bakit ganoon!” asik ni Anica at tinakpan ang mukha dahil sa inis. Dolion hugged her and pulled her closer.
“Nica, walang namamagitan sa amin, pangako. Ginagawa ko lahat ng makakaya ko para maiwasan s'ya.” he whispered as he kissed her on her head. Anica wrapped her arms around him and plunged her head on his wide chest.
“Sorry, Dolion.” Anica cried.
“I didn't mean what I said when we fought. I'm sorry for saying those awful words to you. Hindi ko talaga sinasadya, nagpadala ako sa emosyon ko. Patawarin mo'ko!” iyak pa nito lalo at mahigpit s'yang niyakap ni Dolion.
“Sorry for keeping the truth from you, princess.” Dolion apologized and continued to kiss her head while caressing her hair.
“Hindi na ako galit sa'yo kaya 'wag mo na ako iwasan, please? Ayaw kong ganito tayo. Nasasaktan ako.” iyak nito lalo.
“I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Nica. I thought avoiding each other will be the best way to avoid hurting each other. I'm so sorry, baby. I'm so sorry!” He apologized and Anics looked at him with those teary eyes.
“I love you, Dolion. I love you so much.” Anica confessed and Dolion's eyes encircled in shock.
“N-Nica? U-Ulitin mo nga sinabi mo.” he demanded. Anica wrapped her arms around her neck and said, “I love you! I love you and I can't afford being away from you.”
