SAMANTHA'S POV
It's been two weeks na akong nagstay sa Villa. Namiss ko na ang Manila especially si Niall. Crush ko kasi si Niall dati haha but tinuring ko na lang siya na parang kapatid para hindi hassle. Nagulat na lang ako na bigla na lang ako tinawag ni Aling Martha.
"Ineng, may sulat ka pala. Nakita ko sa pinto. Ito oh." Inabot sakin ni Aling Martha ang sulat. Saan naman kaya pala galing to? Ang aga-aga tapos may ganito na agad?
"Kanino po ito nanggaling?." ako sabay kuha ang mga envelope.
"Wala namang nakalagay na pangalan. Mas mabuti kung basahin mo na lang ang mga yan." Sabi ni Aling Martha. Parang kinilig ata siya?
"Sige."
I checked the envelope "Secret Admirer" ang nakalagay. Then I was curious so I opened it. I smelled the fragrance of perfume from that envelope. Aba sino kaya to ang nagpadala sakin? I read the letter.
Every morning I wake up smiling, just because you're beside me. I listen to your breathing and feel the warmth and comfort of just knowing that you're there. My favorite part of the day is when you roll over and hold me. That feeling remains with me all through the day and lasts until the following morning when we do it all over again. I never want that feeling to end. So I write this to you to let you know of my strong love for you.
- Secret Admirer
"Aling Martha, baka ho nagkamali lang yun-.."
She interrupted me.
"Paano ba yan magkamali eh ang pangalan mo ang nakalagay diyan." sabay turo sa envelope.
My eyebrows furrowed. Ano ba to?
"Basahin mo na ang isang sulat." excited na pagsabi ni Aling Martha.
So binasa ko iyon. mapapatay ko talaga ang nagpadala ng sulat na to. Nakakabwiset ng araw.
bigla akong natameme sa sulat.
" I am writing you this letter to tell you how much you mean to me, and to thank you for coming into my life. You are something I never thought could exist for me. You are the best thing that has ever happened in my life, and I don't regret telling you how I feel.
I have been through many relationships, but didn't really take any of them seriously. I was used and abused by a girl who I really loved once. So I decided to play girls the same way that girls had played me. I wasn't born nasty; a girl made me this way. Since then I have not taken chances with a girl again. But you happened; you came into my life and stole my heart away from the day I met you.
At first I was confused. I didn't really know what I wanted. I didn't know if I wanted to take a chance again and actually take you seriously. So, I decided to come close to you as a friend and find out who you truly were first and what you were really like. You seemed cool, nice, and funny--some things I really liked in a girl. So I took a chance and got together with you.
In the beginning, things didn't seem to go very well. I actually had my doubts about you, and I wasn't sure you were actually taking me seriously. But it was too late to turn back. I had already fallen for you from the day I first met you, and I wasn't really looking forward to giving up so soon. I tried so hard to know you. I wasn't going to let you go so easily!
Well, time has passed, and I have discovered new things about a new me. You have truly changed me. Still, I'm scared, because I'm growing a deep feeling inside my heart that I just can't explain. I truly don't know what your feelings are, but I don't want to force you to tell me something you don't really feel towards me. I want to receive love and trust from you when you truly mean it. All I ask of you is to show me that you care for me, and to also trust me the way I trust you."
- Secret Admirer
"Ano na, Ineng?" Hay nako, si Aling Martha talaga napaka-tsismosa.
"Basta mahaba. Di ko maintindihan hehe."
"Ineng nako, basta huwag kalimutan magpakipot ha?" natawa ako sa sinabi niya
"Oo naman po haha." ako
HARRY'S POV
I'm preparing for our date tonight with Samantha. Nagpatulong ako kay Mang Nestor mag-prepare. Nagluto na rin ako ng mga foods. Nagpadala na rin ako ng mga sulat kay Samantha.
"Tinamaan ka talaga ni Samantha no?" naka-ngising tanong ni Mang Nestor.
"Well, yeah." nakangiti kong sabi. "Frankly, I dont know why kung bat bigla na lang gumaan ang pakiramdam ko sa kanya."
"Ganyan talaga iho kung importante yung tao sayo. Ginagawa ang lahat para lang mapasaya."
Pagkatapos namin maghanda, bumalik na ako ng Villa. Nakita ko si Samantha busy sa laptop. She was doing something. Tsaka may kausap naman sa phone tsk! Pero sorry ka brad. Akin si Samantha ngayong gabi.
SAMANTHA'S POV
Gabi na pala. Alam ko na ang lahat ng information ni Harry. Then I put all of those information in my notepad. So I have a big surprise for my boss kung malalaman niya to. This is my job. Habang tinatransfer ko yung mga information sa laptop bigla na lang tumawag yung boss ko.
"Samantha. Kamusta ka na diyan? Especially yung mga documentation mo?"
"Okay naman ho. And I believe you'll be happy if you will know about my documentation."
"Sige nga. So what is it?"
"Basta pagbalik ko diyan." pagkatapos namin mag usap, niligpit ko na yung mga gamit ko. After that I took a shower. Tapos may bigla na lang kumatok sa kwarto ko.
"Sino po yan?" ako pero wala pa ring sumasagot.
*TOKTOKTOK*
"Sandali lang nagbibihis pa ako." pagkatapos kong magbihis binuksan ko ang pinto.
"Pasensiya- " tapos may nakita akong malaking box sa harap ng pintuan ko. I took the card.
Meet me at ****. Put this on and be ready by 7:00 pm.
- Secret Admirer
Sino kaya yung admirer na yan? Kinuha ko ang box tapos kinuha ko yung damit. Parang floral siya. Tsaka sinuot ko iyon. Naglagay ako ng kaunting make up.
After kong mag ayos, kinalma ko muna yung sarili ko. Hindi ko alam kung parang naeexcite ako oh parang naiihi. And I'm ready to face my Secret Admirer.
