"So? How did you fool my father?" I asked the pervert when we were finally eating in the Al Hassein Restaurant. It's very famous resto, also me here.
"I didn't. I know your father since I was a kid. We're close too, Princess. He talks about you a lot. He's always proud about you and he always brag about your ethereal beauty." He said at kinindatan ako, umirap lang ako sa kanya.
"Wine, Princess?" Mishfah asked me as soon as she met my eyes and I just nod at her. "Didn't know you eat a lot." Pervert said. "Didn't know you have to know." I said, rolling my eyes over him. "New groom-to-be, Princess?" Mishfah asked and I just gracefully laughed because I don't wanna put my father's surname into a mock. "Hell yes Mishfah, can you be my cupbearer? I'll inform Jalal. I'd rather have you as my company than this..." tumigil ako at tiningnan sya ng nandidiri. "..pervert" saad ko at inirapan sya. Natawa naman si Mishfah.
"Careful with that lady, last time I heard Hajar lost two hand and a cock. He also lost his families wealth you know." pakikipagchismisan sakin ni Mishfah, napanganga naman ako sa sinabi nya! "What? Really?" nakangangang saad ko at nanlalaki ang matang nakatingin sa kanya. Tumatango naman sya na parang chismosa sa tabing kalsada na nakasagap ng juicy chismis. "Uh-huh. Uh-huh." sagot nya at tumango tango trying to look convincing. Mahinhin naman akong napapalakpak.
"Now, you lifted my mood, Mishfah. Here, share this with your co-workers." I handed her some cash, good enough for her and her workers. Masaya naman akong bumalik sa pagkain ng magpasalamat si Mishfah at umalis na. "What?" I asked to the pervert when I felt him staring at me.
"You're so beautiful most specially when you're happy." he seriously said, still looking at me intently. Napatagilid naman ako ng ulo at tumingin sa kanya ng naguguluhan. "I know, It's a fact." I said, like it was nothing and I'm just stating a fact. Napailing naman sya na parang hindi makapaniwala but there's a look of interested in his emotions. "You're not so bad yourself." I said at iminuwestra pa ang pisikal nyang anyo pagkatapos ay nagkibit balikat. Natawa naman sya, and I swear it's so manly, ang sarap pakinggan.
"Is that a compliment, askim(my love?" he asked, full of sarcasm. Muntik na ako mahulog sa kanya kung hindi lang sya nagsalita. I really don't like him when he's talking maybe I should shut his pretty pouty hypnotizing full lips. Damn! Ano ba itong iniisip ko?! "Askim... Quite possesive. Owning me already huh?" I said. Napangisi naman sya at tumitig sa akin.
Tinitigan ko naman sya from his curly long hair na nakapony sa likod, his prominent nose, makakapal na kilay, high cheek bone and a perfect defined jaw, his playful smile and cunning smooth-tender-looking lips and his grey eyes. I've seen so many dazzling gorgeous men like him from south to north and east to west. But there's something in his eyes that I find so mysterious. Bigla ay may naisip akong idea.
"I love your eyes." I said and I look at him almost seducing look, I believe, purely not intentional. He looked away and I saw how his cheeks, ears and neck turned bloody red. Not it's my turn to play with him. "And your seducing lips..." tinuro ko pa ang lips ko while pouting it not too much to make it look more seducing for him. I slowly looked in his lips, back to his eyes, and back to his lips, full of lust. I saw him getting a bit uncomfortable and swallowing hard.
I looked him in his eyes, down to his nose, down to his lips, down to his neck and down to his showing hard chest and then back to his eyes that is now full of lust and desire.
"...Noisy" I said. "What?" naguguluhan nyang tanong. "Your seducing lips..." I pointed at my lips again at napatingin sya doon and then he swallowed. "are noisy. I love your lips more when they are closed and shut off." I said at malditang umirap sa kanya. Hindi sya makapaniwalang tumingin sa akin, like it was so easy for me to play him in a snap. "Don't do that again.." seryosong saad nya. "Or what?" panghahamon ko. "Or I'll..."he stopped and look at my lips. "Nevermind." then he shrugs his shoulder. Pinagtaasan ko naman sya ng kilay ko, naweweirduhan sa mga kinikilos nya.
"How's your sister?" I asked "Perfectly fine. I'll fetch her up later sa hotel where we stayed 4 days since we just arrived here sa Morocco. Your father, kinulit nya ako kahapon na iset up ang date natin asap. Tsk. Tito is so makulit." pagdaldal nya pa. "So napilitan kalang?" pagmamaldita ko pa "You can always say no, man." I said na parang tropa ko lang sya. "No, it's not like that. I also want to be with you." sinamaan ko sya ng tingin sa sinabi nya since it turned out bad sa perception ko at natawa naman sya. "Sorry, I didn't mean it that way. I mean I wanna know you more. I also want to apologize about what happened sa Mactan." he sincerely said.
"I don't accept apologies. Nagtatanim ako ng galit." inis kong saad at inirapan ulit sya. "You know, I can sense that your eyeballs are nearly to fall out kakairap mo." pang-iinis nya pa sa akin. "You know I will cut your cock and balls later pag di ka pa tumigil." gigil na saad ko at inangat ang knife na hawak ko na kanina lamang ay pinanghihiwa ko sa karne. Tinaas nya naman ang dalawang kamay nya, yielding, "Woah, woah, Princess not that. I still wanna have a children to pass my kagandahan ng lahi." takot na saad nya.
"Mr. Aydin Yusuf Örtürk, I don't care. I can erase your whole clan if want to." gigil na saad ko. "Oh come on, let's calm down princess. Hindi pa nga tayo mag-asawa ay inaapi mo na ako." saad nya at ngumuso pa sya at nagpuppy dog eyes. Napaawang naman ang bibig ko sa inakto nya. Damn, why is he so cute doing that? "You stop it, Aydin. Hindi sayo bagay!"
Mahuhulog ako pag tinuloy mo pa yan. Gusto ko sanang idagdag pero masyado naman ata maaga ang paghaharot na ito.
"And what the hell?! Are you assuming na magiging tayo?! Masyado ka atang feelingero!" galit na saad ko. "Calm down, my soon to be wife. Hindi naman ako papalag pero bakit lagi mo akong inaapi?" pagpapaawa nya pang sabi. Napahinga ako ng marahas. "Ang kapal ng apog mo! Akala mo ba magugustuhan kita?!" gigil na saad ko. "I'm not assuming, Princess." he said and then he smirked like he was trying to piss me off again. Inabot kami ng tatlong oras sa Restaurant kakaaway. That was actually the longest time I had sa mga nakadate ko!
"Thank you for coming! Come again, Princess!" saad ni Mishfah at ngumiti sakin ng nakakaloko. Maybe because she's also expecting na 20 minutes palang ng date ko ay gagawa na ulit ako ng excuse para umuwi agad. Last time I'm on a date nag excuse ako na kailangan kong umuwi kase namatay yung pet ko na daga! Natatawa pa din ako pag naiisip ko yon!
"I hope this will never happen again. Thank you for wasting my time!" malditang saad ko sa kanya and he just laughed. "I still can't believe I waited for you for 1 and a half hour sa pag-aayos mo para sa date natin. You made me pick you up sa place mo pero magdadala ka naman ng sarili mong sasakyan at hindi ka sasakay sakin!" natatawang saad nya. "Of course, I don't trust you! Manyak ka pa naman!" inis na saad ko. "Mukha kang masamang tao oh!" inis na saad ko at iminuwestra ko pa ang kabuuan nya. Natawa na naman sya. Buong oras na magkasama kami ni Aydin ay puro away, bangayan at asaran lamang ang ginawa namin. I mean, mostly ako lang ang ininis at naasar. All he just did was laughed na gustong gusto ko din naman marinig at pakinggan. Damn. Ang landi ko!
