Yvio









It's 4 pm, Perses is in his mini office downstairs while I stay in the storage room to talk sa mga bagong maid. They were busy cleaning the dust off and arranging the unusable trash in the storage room. Naka upo lang ako, nakikipag usap sa kanila while they were doing stuff. Nakakabagot kasi mag isa sa kuwarto.







“ Yvio, you shouldn't be here. The dust is not good for your baby,” sabi ni Angelica habang kinukuha ang spider webs sa mga sulok sulok.








“ Kanina pa ako dito wala namang nangyayari, ” sagot ko habang nakatingin sa kaniya habang naglilinis. It looks comforting to see her cleaning, this scene makes me feel deja Vu. Bakit nga ba? Why do I feel like kilala ko talaga siya but my brain would refuse to give me an answer kung bakit feeling ko kilala ko siya.








Everything about Angelica is familiar to me, except kay Chamille. Parang stranger talaga siya sa akin.








“ Yvio, you should rest. It's not good for you to be out here.” She sounds so concerned, like a mother, a sister, a good friend, or a wife.








“ Angelica, have we met before?” I finally popped the question, natigilan si Angelica sa ginagawa, nakita ko ang kaunting panic sa kaniya pero bigla naman 'yung nawala kaya feeling ko ilusyon lang ang nakita ko.








“ No. Wala akong kilalang Yvio noon, ” she answered and faked a smile... How did I know it was a fake one? It looks so genuine why did I think it was fake? It wasn't fake... But my brain tells me it was fake... Why?







“ Are you friends with Chamille? ” I asked, speaking of Chamille wala pala siya sa dito sa room, Perses asked her to buy some food for dinner. Nag crave kasi ako ng chicken. Andito siya kanina lang kaso ayun nga may pinagawa boss namin kaya andon na siya sa labas.







“ Chamille's not a friend of mine but when my fiance died we became good friends, since we shared the same pain of losing him. ” I shouldn't have asked, that was too personal. I didn't mean to open an old wound.







“ I'm sorry for your loss, ” it was all that I could say. Ayaw ko ng magtanong pa baka kung ano pa ma ungkat ko, baka madamay trauma niya. Mahirap na.








“ No, it's fine. ” Sagot niya bago bumalik sa ginagawa, mali ba na sabihin kung ang ganda niya?








I mean, I'm clearly just complementing her beauty nothing more. Maganda naman talaga siya pero feeling ko mas guwapo talaga si Perses, hintayin niyo lang mag face reveal siya sa akin mamayang gabi.







“ Puwedi tayo maging kaibigan Angelica, ” biglang sabi ko habang nakatingin sa likuran niya. Wala naman akong ibang makakausap dito eh, this is better. T'saka she seems to be a good friend.








“ I.... Hindi sana, boss kita. We have to set boundaries, ” ay? May ganon ba? Hindi ko alam, never pa kasi ako naging boss. Bawal pala maging mag-kaibigan ang boss at maid niya?








“ Si Perses boss mo, hindi ako. ” I corrected her, totoo naman kasi. Pareho lang kaming trabahanti dito kung alam niya lang.








“ Aren't you Perses fiance? ” Tanong ni Angelica, napa taas tuloy ako ng kilay sa narinig. Saan niya naman nakuha ang idea na 'yan? Ah... Alam ko na. Dinadala ko pala anak ni Perses.








“ Nako, hi—”









“ Yvio, what are you doing here? ” Naputol ang sasabihin ko dahil biglang nagsalita si Perses, hindi ko namalayang andito pala siya. Tapos naba trabaho nito?








“ Ah, ano... Gusto kung makipag usap kay Angelica. Nakakabagot kasi sa loob ng kuwarto,” I explained to him habang nakatingin sa kaniya. As always, he's wearing his mask, a black turtle neck t-shirt, and leather gloves. Minsan talaga napapa isip ako kung hindi ba siya naiinitan sa ganiyang pananamit niya.








“ If you want someone to talk to you could've asked me, I would love to entertain you. ” Perses uttered while rubbing my cheeks with his thumb, naramdaman kung unti-unting umiinit ang pisngi ko sa ginawa niya. Why does he need to be this sweet?!?!







“ You shouldn't stay here any longer, it might be harmful for the baby. ” I saw his eyes dropped on my stomach, napahawak tuloy ako don. How can I forget, this is not just mine. This is also his.








“ Alis muna ako Angelica, ” I bid farewell to Angelica before following Perses to the living room away from the dust that might harm this little fetus inside of me.








“ Did she say something unusual? ” He asked while we were walking, I shook my head as a response. Why does he need to worry about it? Para naman siyang may tinatago sa pa ganiyan niya.








“ Did you feel something unusual? ” He asked again. It feels weird how I have this strong urge to lie about it, something doesn't feel right.








“ No, ” I lied because that's what my instinct is telling me.... Why? Perses.... Why can't I seem to trust you? You are kind yet my inner self refuses to see you as a shelter rather it sees you as a threat.








I saw him nodding his head “ Yvio, if you feel something unusual tell me immediately. ” He stopped walking to look at me in the eye.








“ Why? Anong problema? ” I asked out of curiosity, ano bang meron? Perses what are you hiding?








“ Nothing, I just want to protect you from stress. It might be harmful for the baby, ” He answered with his hand slowly on my belly, his hand doesn't feel so comforting as it used to rather it feels heavy.








“ I just want to protect you Yvio, ” immediately my worries were washed out. He was just worried about me, nothing more. What was I even thinking. Perses was just being kind. Kung ano-ano na iniisip ko eh.
