A Collision of Hearts and Heroes

Chapter 10

Clarissa's POV

Unreachable

"Fully booked na ho ang speedboat natin, ma'am kaya nagagalit 'yong costumer dahil gusto niya agad-agad gumamit," sumbong sa akin Analyn, isa sa mga staff.

"Tell him to wait first," utos ko at bumaling sa kausap na si Gasper.

"Gusto niya pong ikaw ang kumausap. Galit na galit kasi siya."

Sinapo ko ang noo ko. I shut my eyes while exhaling deeply to soothe my nerves. I instructed Gasper to carry out my work for now because I had to deal with something before facing the staff. There are beads of sweat on her forehead, appearing that she's panicking.

"Nagwawala na ho siya," she reported, shaking in fear still.

She accompanies me to where the person she is talking about. Mga lasing na grupo ng magbabarkada ang nadatnan ko at ang isa sakanila ay nagwawala habang may hawak na bote ng vodka. His other friends were stopping him. Upon seeing me, he approached while stumbling and pointed me in rage.

"Ikaw ang may-ari ng resort?" His voice had a drunken quality to it.

"Hello, yes, I am the owner of the resort.l," Malumanay kong sinabi. "I apologize, sir, but our speedboats are currently at full capacity. For one thing, it seems you've drunk a lot of alcohol, and for safety reasons, we cannot permit customers to use our speedboats while under the influence. Lalo na ho ngayon na nahihirapan kayo maglakad. Sana po ay maunawa-"

"That's bullshit!" Sigaw niya.

Hinampas niya bigla ang bote ng alak sa lamesa. Some of the girls yelled, looking frightened while a couple of their male friends attempted to calm down the mad man. Analyn holds my arm, alerting me to the possible actions of the angry customer.

"Sir, calm down po. Let's talk-"

"Shut up! You, shut up!" Dinuro niya sa akin 'yong basag na piraso ng botelya.

I stepped back while maintaining my composure as the onlookers witnessing the scene yelled in fear. Ramdam kong hinila-hila ni Analyn ang top ko para umalis na.

"Ma'am, magtatawag na, ho ba ako ng security? Tara na ho," natataranta niyang sabi sa akin.

"Walang kwenta itong resort na 'to! This isn't worth spending money," he spat furiously.

"Sir-"

"Fucking shut up!" He stopped me, "Naririndi ako sa 'yo!"

He walks closer to me, while maintaining his grip on the piece of the shattered bottle. The people around start murmuring to call security as the friends of the furious man try to stop him. Si Analyn sa likod ko ay halatang naiiyak na sa takot habang mahigpit ang hawak sa damit ko.

During the chaos, Gasper abruptly arrived and stood in front of me, as if shielding me from the enraged man. The strong presence he brought silences the people around him.

"Hindi ka ba talaga mapapakiusapan?" Kalmado ngunit malalim ang pagkakatanong niya. "I will call the security if you won't stop. Pwede kang kasuhan sa ginagawa mo ngayon."

The guy just laughed in sarcasm, as if what Gasper said was completely nonsense.

"Isa pa 'tong walang kwenta! Lampa naman!"

Without warning, he attacked us, and my courage suddenly vanished. The women screamed and I couldn't move. Sobrang bilis ng mga pangyayari, and before I knew it, Gasper landed a hard punch on the man's jaw before he could harm us. Humandusay ang lalaki sa buhangin. I pulled Gasper away and ordered the other people to leave before he could harm them too.
