nagising ako ng may maramdaman ako may humihinga sa batok ko
at the same time i felt the warmth and saw hands wrapped around my waist
i turned to look at who was it and it was klarine...
It was the first time shes done this and i9 was left speechless
I then slowly turned to face her as i smilled
I then realized how wide my smile was kaya pinigil ko ito
Dahan-dahan kong tinangal ang kamay nya sa beywang ko at dahandahang umupo

Pag labas ko ng kwarto ay nakahain na ang agahan namin na gawa ni bebe at ng iba pang kasambahay
"Ayy!good morning po maam, nakahanda na po ang agahan...si maam klarine po?di po ba sasabay?"
Tanon ni manang bebe
"Hayaan po muna natin sya matulog..."
I replied at umupo
Ngayon lang natulog ng ganito kahaba si klarine
Dahil sa tuwing matutulog ako at magigising ay gising parin sya...
She's an alcoholic woman 24/7 gising si tanga.

I then sat down as i began feasting on the breakfast manang bebe cooked
"Manang, anong oras po umuwi si klarine kagabi?"
I asked and tilted my head habang ina-alala ni manang kung anong oras umuwi si klarine
"Siguro mga alasdos nang madaling araw ma'am kasi nag lilinis pa kami nila abigail nang kusina, at medjo lasing si maam"
Paliwanag ni manang bebe
Kaya siguro nasa kwarto ko kasi lasing...what an adorable sober...
As i finished eating
I head some slippers clack on the marble stairs at nakita ko si klarine
Massaging her temples
Of course. Hangover.
"Good afternoon klar."
I greeted as she gave me a small nod and sat across me
Manang bebe then served her some mushroom soup at tumango lang ito
Looks like someones not in the mood to talk.
"Klar, i was thinking if I puede ako mag-shopping with ari and the others?"
Tanong ko at nag-isip muna si klarine bago sumagot
"Sure, be back before 10, and ill have mariano come with you."
She said as i raised my eyebrow
"I dont need your bodyguard, mall lang yun"
I said as she stared at me
Her cold look piercing my soul
"Nevertheless, bring him with you its an order kung gusto mo mag-liwaliw sa mall, we dont know what kind danger's waiting for you."
She replied as i sighed and nodded
"Here. Suit yourself ocha."
Dagdag nya as she slowly slid her black card towards me
"What if i spend allot?"
I teased
"Spend every last bit of it, i don't care. Have fun."
She replied as i gave her an cocky grin
Di ko naman planong gumastos nang todo.
Im not maluho...well a little.

Klarine's pov
I was in my office
Working as usual
Drowning myself with work to forget what happened between me and milla
I then received an text from ochia as i opened it and it was the photo of her and ari as i smiled
But as i was admiring her
I received another text from an unknown number as i opened it and read it
{unknown}
"Miss luciniana?si milla po."
Oh.
Its milla.
{you}
"Is there something you need help with milla"
I texted back as i fidgeted with my pen
{unknown}
"About last night po..."
I then raised my eyebrows as i thought for a moment
Hesitating if i should text back
{unknown}
"Can you please come over po?...may gusto lang akong i-klaro Miss luciniana..."
She texted again as i groaned and set my phone down as i ran my hand through my hair
I then loosened my tie and lick my lips to moisturize them as i got up and grabbed my bag and phone
