Chapter 6 *Maid for hire*



Ford's POV

After a long time of traveling we finally pulled over to a white building hotel where we checked in. "Sir, we're here." One of my body guards told me. I just shot him a glare as he straightly went out, of course I know where here, I'm not blind. I glanced over the window glass, observing how people freaked out, and how eager they are to see my presence.


The door swung widely open while the cameras automatically flashed through my face. I can't say that I'm used to, experiencing this kind of setting, because until now I still can't stand this kind of situation.


There were paparazzi everywhere I look, people screaming my name and the voices of the reporters asking me some kind of shit questions echoed the whole field. I would not careless to all of these stupidity, if you're going to ask me. But in my case, I have to. I have to deal with all of these fatuity every single day of my life.


"How do you feel winning the competition?" Reporter 1 asked.


"When are you going back to LA, Ford?" Reporter 2 asked again. I faked smiled, as I let the body guards pulled me inside.


"Sorry guys, Ford can't answer those questions. We have to go." Then they pulled me inside the building.


Just when I thought I can already rest, then on cue Luke and Miko came, waving at me with there undeniably and teasingly smiles. Oh great!


"Dude! Kamusta LA? Long time no see." Luke greeted me, I reluctantly nod at him.


"Oo nga pre! Alam mo ba miss ka na namin?" Miko seconded. I just shook my head with annoyance. Since they're here already, I'll let them do their jobs.


"Very well, Gentlemen. Since you're both here already, I'll be needing your help." I said walking up to them. They looked a bit confused.


"Anytime pre. Ano ba magagawa namin?" Miko agreed. A mischievous smile formed on my lips.


"I need a maid, a full time maid."


"Maid? Eh diba ang dami niyo namang maid sa palasyo niyo?" They both laughed causing the people to looked at our direction. Seriously guys?


"I'll not stay there no more. I bought a condo a while ago and I need a maid, immediately." I told them sternly.


"Ha?! Bakit?" Luke asked


"Non of your business. So I hope I made myself clear. I should see a maid here later when I get back. It's nice talking you gentlemen. I shall rest now." I said walking out.



Tristan's POV


"What?! Nasa Pinas na siya?!"


"Oo-pre, kailangan niya daw ng maid. Meron ka ba diyan?"


"Maid?!" Bigla akong napatingin sa pintuan ng kwarto ni Alex.


"Oo nga! Pre, kailangan niya daw kasi. Baka meron ka diyang kakilala?"


"Ahh-- wala! Wala akong kakilala."


"Ah ganon ba? Sige!"


I can't believe na nandito na si Ford sa Pinas. Sobrang biglaan, ni hindi man lang nagpasabi. Pero ang isa pang hindi ko lang maintindihan, bakit kailangan niya ng maid eh mayaman naman siya. Tsaka sa laki ba naman ng bahay nila why would he need to have a maid, when they already have plenty of them?


"Tristan?" Bigla akong natigilan. Lumingon ako at nakita si Alex, na kakagising pa lang.


"Uh- Hi!" Nakangiti kong sabi


"Sino yung kausap mo?"


"Uh, wala. Mga kaibigan ko lang.."


"Ah ganun ba?"


"Oo. Uy teka, nasi-cr ako! Pa cr ah." Sabi ko sa kanya, tska nagdire-diretcho sa loob ng banyo.



Alex's POV

Napakamot nalang tuloy ako sa ulo ko. Minsan talaga may pagka abnormal din si Tristan eh. I shook my head at that thought, pano ko ba naging bestfriend yan. Nakakahiya. Lol! Babalik na sana ako sa pagtulog ko nang biglang nag-ring yung cellphone ni Tristan.


Tumingin ako sa pintuan ng banyo tapos pabalik ulit sa cellphone. Hindi niya ba naririnig na may tumatawag sa kanya? Hindi na sana ako mangingielam pero bigla ko nalang natagpuan ang sarili ko hawak-hawak na ang cellphone at sinagot ito.


"Hello? Pre! Ano may nahanap ka na ba?" Tumaas ang isa kong kilay. Ano naman ang hahanapin ni Tristan?


"This is not Tristan. I'm Alex." I said. Naramdaman ko ang pagka gulat nila.


"Woah! Ikaw na ba ang magaaply?" Lalong kumunot ang noo ko.


"Apply? What are you talking about?" I heard him chuckle.


"Apply for being a maid!" He said.


"Maid?! Are you out of your head?"


"Hey- wait! I just thought na ikaw yun. Sayang mataas pa naman sweldo." I smirked amusingly. Is this guy trying to provoke me?


"How much are we talking about here?" He was shocked. I guess.


"Fifty thousand, a month. It's a full time maid, okay? Pero wala ka naman masyadong gagawin. So ano? May kakilala ka ba na pwede? I mean as soon as possible." Bigla akong napaisip sa sinabi niya.


Fifty thousand? Parang ang liit naman ata. Eh pang bili ko lang ng bag ko yan eh. But on the other hand, its a big help for me. Ugh! It's too hard to think!


"Hey, ano? May kakilala ka ba?" He asked. I exhaled deeply. I need money, I badly need it.


"Oo meron."


"Wow! That's great! Let's meet at the Shangri-La Hotel within an hour okay?" He said before hanging up.


I'm too desperate right now. I need money.


"Oh! Problema mo, Alex?" I snapped back to reality. Hindi ko man lang namalayan na nasa harap ko na si Tristan.


"I already have a job." I said bitterly.


"Hah? Paano?" He looked confused.


"Your friend called, telling me he's hiring maid.." His face suddenly got dark.


"What?! Bakit mo pinaki-elaman ang cellphone ko?" Nagulat ako sa biglang pagbago ng aura niya. Ganyan talaga siya palagi pag pinakikielaman ang nga gamit niya.


"Hey. I'm so sorry. Pero buti nga sinagot ko kasi may trabaho na ako." I said calmly. Pero nagulat ako nang bigla niyang hinawakan ang ulo niya at minasahe ito. Sheyt ang hot ni Tristan!


"Bullshit! It's not a job, Alex! He will turn you as his slave! You will become his toy! You're dealing with a devil, Alex!" He clenched his teeth trying not to be violent. What is he talking about?


"Tristan, don't over-react! Relax!" He looked at me meanly.


"Relax?! are you out of your mind?! I'm just trying to save you. Now, if you'll not believe me. Bahala ka na sa buhay mo."


"Tristan, wag ka ngang OA! Magpasalamat nalang tayo at may trabaho na ako." He smirked


"You'll thank no more, once you deal with him. I'm warnin' you. You're dealing with a demon, himself." Di ko tuloy alam kung matatawa o matatakot ako sa mga pinagsasabi niya. Ano ba? Ni hindi ko pa nga kilala yung amo ko eh.


"Stop saying that." I said trying to sound not terrified.


"Being defiant is not healthy, Alex. Most of the times, it leads you to danger. I just hope you're right with your choice." He said before leaving me. Bilib din ako sa lalaking 'to. Lumalabas ang pagka summma-cum-laude niya pag nagagalit.

Napailing nalang ako. Buo na ang desisyon ko. Sorry Tristan, but I'm really desperate right now..
