De Silva Series 1: Shy to you [On-going]

42| Deja Vu

Agad kong inayos ang sarili ko at maging ang maskara na suot ko ay inayos ko rin. Pupuntahan ko na sana sina Zernon ng umalis si Kyla at sumunod naman ang isa. Patinba naman dito umabot na ng pag-aawag nila. Huminga ako ng malalim.

"You look tired my lady. Pardon my rudeness, but would you mind if I dance with you?" He gestured a bow and offered his hand on me. Nagsitinginan naman ang mga tao sa paligid dahil kakaiba talaga ang aura niya kahit akong gawin ko.

"U-uhmm." Ibinigay ko na lamang sa kaniya ang kamay ko at sumunod ako sa kaniya habang nakatingin lamang sa kaniyang nakangiting mga labi. Why does this feel familiar? The classical music coming from the live performers and the golden light of the masquerade made the mood feel majestic and elegant.

I could smell his perfume when our body went closer after a bow. He took me in the middle of the dancing circle and my hand quickly held on his shoulder and left hand when the beat became a little faster.

"You look beautiful, my lady." He smiled. Ngingiti na sana ako ng maalala ko na hindi nga pala ako si Amethyst. Am I somehow witnessing him cheat on me? Kahit hindi naging kami he still comfessed about how he loved me. How many times did he fool me?

Pilit akong ngumiti dahil, mission nga ito at hindi personal life. "Thank you for flattering me, but whatever you're planning. I don't like it." I answered in a polite tone.

"I'm not planning anything at all," He leaned on my right ear and whispered. "I love your necklace, Mi Señora. Thanks for dancing with me." Nang matapos na ang sayaw ay dali-dali siyang umalis sa harapan ko kaya bumalik ako sa kung nasaan si oldma at dali-daling pumunta sa puwesto niya.

"I think I messed up oldma," I started. "He might've noticed my necklace and I think my disguise failed." Tumaas ang kilay niya ang tumingin sa leeg ko. "Then prepare for getting exposed. He'll caught you soon. But don't let him. I want to enjoy the fact that he's the one who's chasing you." I smiled unbelievably while she shooed me away, preventing me from saying anything.

Talaga oldma? Hindi mo lang alam, baka bukas o mamaya patay na ako dahil sumuko na ako sa mission na ito.

Lumapit naman ako sa waitress ng mapagtantong wala na si Theon. Oh no! I think he's really making a move. I should run! Ugh! Kelan pa naging ganito ang buhay ko? Akala ko ba i e expose namin—right!

We're going to expose that he's still alive. In front of the family. Pero bakit nabaliktad? Why do I feel like I'm the one who's about to be caught here? This is wrong! Naramdaman ko naman ang pagbangga sa akin ng isang babae at napatingin sa kaniya.

Natigilan ako ng ilang segundo at napatulala sa kaniya. Ang ganda niya. Takha naman siyang lumingon sa akin at nginitian ako, she gave me a key and letter.  Agad kong binuksan ang card at mabilis na binasa ang nakasulat doon.

Project Masquerade,
Plan B

Matapos basahin iyon ay inabutan niya ako ng wine at itinapon niya iyon sa damit ko. I tried to act as shocked as possible. "Oh! My! Gosh! I'm so sorry!" She acted at halos hindi ko na siya makilala.

Syempre, green tea bitch daw dapat tayo. But I was already one. So no need to act. Napatawa ako sa aking isipan at huminga ng malalim. "It's okay miss. I'll take my leave for now. Be careful next time." Ang lahat ng nanonood ay nagsitigilan ang bulungan at bumalik sa kani kaniyang gawi na parang walang nangyari.

While me, I went back to the room. Removed everything around my body with the help of Laura and Leina. They gave me a gun and other bodyguard things na hindi ko alam na nag e exist and a voice changer na ikinakabit nila at sineset-up sa akin.

"Time to become Leah's bodyguard." Masiglang sabi ni Laura. She's always so happy, siguro kahit magunaw ang mundo masaya parin siya. Leina on the other hand is always serious. Leah is the calmest among them and she is the mixture of these two.
