SUBMISSIVE 2: THIRDY VILLANUEVA

CHAPTER 18

EIGHTEEN

It was Saturday.. The serenity of the place is vibin' with her mood. She was standing while holding a cup of coffee in the middle of the bonsai garden. Happiness is written in her angelic face. Smiles is all over it as the rising sun is shining and giving brightness into the place.

Giving new hopes. Giving new beginning. Giving radiance to each and every being.

Watching the blossoms of the plants that is giving brightness in the whole place, giving the wind a sweet flowery smell, she sighed with a little smile in her eyes while sniffing the air coming through her nose. She suddenly closed her eyes and feel the wind.

Smiling softly as her mind and soul became solemn.

Indeed, this place, she already considered it home..

Ang anak na lang nila ang kulang at magiging isang pamilya na sila. Isang masayang pamilya. She, the loving beautiful mother, Thirdy, the handsome loving father and Era—their little angel.

Married or not, as long as they love each other, then it wasn't be a problem at all.

But wait, he didn't tell her that he loves her yet. She shrugged. Who cares? As long as he's giving her happiness, he's telling her he loves her by actions, then there's nothing to worry about.

She just wanna be a great girlfriend. And what is great? To understand him. To just let him love her the way he wanted to. To just love him back. No words, just let it be.

No worries at all.

She's sipping her coffee when someone grabbed her free hand. Napakislot siya dahil alam niyang hindi si Thirdy iyon.

Imbes na init ang naramdaman gaya ng palagi niyang nararamdaman kapag hinahawakan siya nito, ngayon ay takot at kaba ang bumalot sa katawan niya.

Lumingon siya sa likuran. Nanlaki ang mga mata niya ng makita ang humawak sa kanya.

"S-sino ka?" Natatarantang saad niya.

Ngumiti ito. He's good looking too but instead of admiration, she felt something odd.

"I'm Third's cousin. Hi. I'm Vic and I'm looking for Third. Can you please call him for me?"

Hindi niya alam kung anong gagawin. Bakit hindi na lang dumiretso ito sa bahay kung pinsam  naman pala nito ang kasintahan? But she doesn't want to be rude. As much as possible, kailangan niyang maging magalang sa kahit na sinong pamilya ng lalaki. "A-ahm. Sure. Come with me"

As they stood in the middle of the living room, she flinched a little when he suddenly grabbed her wrist and held it tight.

Nakaramdam siya ng kaba. "B-bakit?"

Ngumiti ito. "Who are you?"

"I-i'm the veterinarian of the farm" Aniya. Wala siyang balak sabihin na kasintahan niya ang binata. Kailangan ito ang magpakilala sa kanya sa pamilya nito. At ayaw niya itong pangunahan.

"Really?" She can feel something in his voice but chose to ignore it.

Napaiktad siya ng may malakas na kalabog sa may malapit sa fountain. Napalingon si Jeferylle at nanlaki ang mga matang nakatitig na ngayon sa binatang ang anyo ay galit na galit na para bang may gustong sakalin.

"Get your filthy hands out of her Vic! at baka hindi kita matantiya!" Dumagundong ang boses nito sa buong kabahayan. Napaiktad siya doon. It's her first time hearing him shout. Madilim ang mukha nito. No, hindi normal na dilim. He was livid! And she can see from his eyes, that murderous eyes that she never seen before.
