Snow White's Escape

_Chapter Six_

Max's POV ✿

"I love you. Max." She said straight forwardly. She's Penelope a co-worker of mine. She's so obsessed in getting into a relationship with me and I have already rejected her for more 5 times a week. I'm actually impressed, even though I've rejected her a few times she never gave up. And I also find it annoying.

I led out a big sigh.

"Ok. Thank you for liking me Penelope." I said and is about to leave the room. I have no purpose para mag stay dito. I have work to do.

"Why won't you just love me back! Ganon lang naman kadali Max!"

Luh. Anong madali ka jan? Sino ba siya para mag decide kung mahalin ko ba sya pabalik o hindi?

I stopped from leaving the room and turned to her. I knew I had to do something to stop all this. She's crossing the line.

"Stop it, Penelope. You are crossing the line. I told you I already have a Girlfriend." I lied about having a Girlfriend. I honestly used to think that having a Girlfriend would just be a distraction. But for now ok naman na, sadyang ayaw ko lang talaga kay Penelope. Masyado syang obsessive. She's actually creeping me out.

"You know what Max. I really think you are lying about having a Girlfriend." What? Why would she think that? Halata ba? "You keep saying you have a Girlfriend but you never even onced introduced her to us. How will I believe you?" she asked with a grin. She looks confident na tama ang hinala nya na wala talaga akong syota. Well tama naman sya.

"You know what I was actually planning to bring her mamaya sa party." Calix. One of my very close friend na co-worker namin throwed a party celebration for his wedding.

"Yeah. Sure. Can't wait to see who the lucky girl is." She said it sarcastically. She doesn't sound convinced.

Now ang tanging problema ko nalang ay... Wala akong syota.

Then I remembered Snow or Sol. I remembered the deal we agreed on.

That's right she has to do whatever I want! So maybe I could ask her to pretend to be my Girlfriend just for tonight!

Nag pa alam ako kaagad sa mga co-workers ko sabi ko susudoin ko syota ko.

***

"What's wrong with you today? Bakit parang nag bago ka bigla? Or could it be—you're not Max at all?!"

Ah. How did I get into this situation again.

Oh yeah right. I'm going to introduce her to my co-workers as my... Girlfriend... Right! Di ko pa nga pala nasabi sa kanya, buti natanong nya! Ah thank goodness...

"Of course it's me Max, by the way naalala ko na buti natanong mo, may favor pala ako sayo."

"Prove it." utos nya.

"Prove what?"

"Prove it to me that you really are Max."

"Hm sige. Pano ba?" I asked her with a grin in my face.

"Never mind."

"Meron ka ba?" I asked out of nowhere.

"Ha? A-anong meron ako?..."

"Like you know yung mens?"

"B-ba't mo na tanong?" tanong nya pa.

"Wala. Sungit mo kasi." binalik ko na yung tingin ko sa daanan.

"A-ahh... Sorry... pagod lang kasi talaga ako ngayon."

"No need to say sorry. Ok lang yun. Gusto mo ba i uwi nalang kita?"

"P-pano yung favor mo di mo pa pala nasasabi kung ano yun?" ani Sol.

"Hayaan mo na next time nalang yun."

"Hindi. We made a deal diba? Ok pa naman ako ano ba kasi yun?" pilit nya.

Hayst. Tigas din talaga ng ulo ng babaeng to.

"I wanted to ask you if you could pretend as my Girlfriend in front of my co-workers tonight. Are you sure ayaw mo pang umuwi?" I asked her again.

"Hm... Ok lang naman."

H-ha? Pumayag kaagad sya?!

"Totoo?" I asked her again just to make sure I heard her right.

Tumango tango naman sya.

"Well ok then... get some rest muna, while papunta pa tayo. Malapit na kasi tayo sa bahay nyo eh."

Tumawa lang sya at nakatulog na.

Cute. E-ehhh!

What is wrong with me?!

***

Hm... Should I wake her up? No pagod pa siguro sya sabihin ko nalang sa kanila na next time nalang- ?!

Gago. Nagulat ako ng biglang bumuka ang kaniyang mga mata habang tinititigan ko sya.

Muntikan na ako napatalon. Iniwas ko ang aking paningin at nag salita. "Uh um we're here pero kasi pagod ka pa ata..."

"Ok lang tara na?" aya nya.

"Ha? Ah ok sige."

Nauna ako bumaba at binuksan ang pinto para sakanya tinulongan ko na din syang tanggalin ang seat belt nya.

"Tara?" aya ko sabay inabit sa kanya ang aking kamay at tinanggap nya naman ito. Pumasok na kami sa isang bar. Yes. Bar. Di ko din inexpect na dito gaganapin ang after party nila.

"Snow? or Sol? Ok ka lang?"

"S nalang para di ka na mahirapan. Yes ok lang ako. Don't worry about me." She said with a smile in her face.

ok S.

"Max mah boy dito!! Hoo!" sigaw ng isang pamilyar na boses. Sinundan ko ang boses na iyon at nakita na si Calix pala kasama ang mga co-workers namin.

Nag punta na kami dun sa table nila at pinakilala ko na sakanila si S. "Uh guys si Aetherion Solara Saile nga pala Girlfriend ko."

...

Ba't ang tahimik nila. Wala man lang umiimik tinitigan lang nila ako simula taas hanggang baba. Mag sasalita pa sana ako ng mag salita si Calix.

"Ah Par... sure kaba Babae mo yan? Hindi mo kinidnap yan eh noh?" tanong nya. Aba gago to ang kinidnap ko jan! "Par, alam ko gustong gusto mo na magka syota pero wag ka naman mang kidnap, kawawa yung babae ganda ganda pa naman. Foreigner pa talaga target mo." dagdag nya pa.

Sinapak ko si Calix sa ulo para mabalik sya sa isip nya na sobrahan ata sa alak to. "Tanga. Di ko kinidnap si S tska hindi sya actually Foreigner half lang. Kaibigan ko sya yan since highschool."

"Ay weh? Imposible namang patulan ka nyan." Isa pa Cal tingnan mo talaga. "Hi miss hindi ka naman kinidnap ni Max diba? Ok lang lwede mo naman sabihin yung totoo mga police kami dito oh." biro nya. Nna sobrahan na. ata sa alak to deputang to.

Napatingin ako kay S at tumawa lang sya "Hindi ah." sagot nya. "Parang di kasi ka pani paniwala eh." dagdag ni Cal. "Bakit naman hindi? Pogi kaya ni Max, mabait pa, matalino, sobrang green flag nga eh."

Bakit ang init bigla. Gusto ko hubadin jacket na suot ko.

Nag tawanan lang silang lahat at pinapa upo na kami. Hayst. Buti nalang makaka upo na din.

"Ano ba nagustohan mo kay Max?"

Ano ba yan kakaupo pa nga lang tanong nanaman?! Kakainis.

Yung tanong na ito naman ay nang galing na kay Penelope. Right. Si Penelope nanaman kaka pagod naman neto.

Tinignan ko lang si S. Ano kaya sasabihin nya.

Note:

Yes. Ano kaya sasabihin nya?
