My un-ORDINARY Love

Chapter 27: Now and until whenever

Ace's POV

I watch as the street lights pass by outside the cab's window. Sigh.

15 hours, 15 fucking hours pa lang pero I already miss her. Somber hits me on the chest whenever I realize that she is 6,795 miles away from me. 6,795 fucking miles. That's all it takes to kill me slowly.

Now it made me think, ano kaya ginagawa niya? is she sad? Does she miss me like I miss her right now? Is she thinking about me? God! I think I'm fucking obsessed with her. Is this even normal?

Bumungad sa akin ang isang malaking mansion na may fountain sa harap. This is it I guess? This is Ms Gonzales's House. Malaki ang bahay niya. The exterior of the house kind of looks like a legit millionaire. It's white and there are vines climbing to its wall. May iilang kotseng nakahilera sa labas ng 3-door-garage  niya. Isang Mini Cooper, Isang Volkswagen at Convertable na Mercedez Benz. Literal na sumisigaw ng kayamanan itong lugar na ito.

Pagkababa ko sa cab, sinalubong naman ako ng isang malamig na simoy ng hangin. I zipped up my jacket and walk to her front porch. Nag doorbell ako at ilang sandali ay may babaeng sumalubong sa akin.

"Mr. Sandoval?" Tanong nung maid ni Ms.

"Yes." sagot ko naman.

"Ms is already waiting for you inside." Sabi niy sabay turo ng daan papasok.

Pagkapasok ko, ang unang sumalubong sa akin ay yung mahabang hallway na may nakasabit na mga painting. Lahat abstract painting. May isa lang hindi. It was a white lily with a black background.

Ilang sandali ay tumambad sa aking ang isang malaking living room na may chandelier at malaking hagdan pataas. I think this is not a house anymore, this is a palace. Enormous  palace.

"Ace, its so nice to see you here darling" Salubong sa akin ni Ms tsaka nakipag beso.

"You're house is a palace Ms. I'm fascinated." Sagot ko sabay ngiti.

"Nako, soon you'll have your own. I promise you that." Sabi niya

"Anyways, ibigay mo na kay Lian yang bagahe mo, she'll bring that to your room. I still have to discuss things with you. Can you come to my office once your settled?" Tuloy niya sabay senyas kay Lian.

"Of course Ms." Agarang sagot ko.

"Alright, Lian, show Christian his room." Utos naman niya kay Lian na agad namang tumango.

"This way Sir." Sabi niya sabay turo ng daan.

I lift my baggage up the stairs. Hindi ko sinunod na si Lian yung magdala because  know I'm more capable of doing that. Besides, she's a woman.

Tinuro niya sa akin yung pangatlong kwarto sa kanan. Agad akong lumapit doon at pumasok.

Nakita ko ang dark blue na kwarto. May sariling couch at flatscreen tv. Meron din akong mini fridge at study table. The bed was a Queen sized bed na may black na bed sheet. I also have my own closet and bathroom. Wala akong bathtub, but that's alright. Di naman ako mahilig eh.

Napag desisyonan kong bukas na lang ako mag aayos ng gamit ko. kaya pagkalagay ko sa tabi nung maleta ko eh agad din akong pumunta sa office ni Ms.

I asked Lian kung saan at agad niya din itong itinuro. Kumatok muna ako bago pumasok. Nakita ko si Ms na nasa desk niya na nakatingin sa akin. Agad niyang tinuro yung upuan sa harap niya para don ako umupo. I followed her command and sat infront of her desk.

"So I'll be gone for at least 2 months. I'm going to Qatar para sa bagong hotel ko doon." Sabi niya. Tumango lang ako.

"So dahil maiiwan ka dito, I'll give you one of the cars para may magamit ka. I'll give you a credit card just in case of emergency. I also enrolled you to a college close by, ituturo sayo ni Kine, yung butler/driver sayo. you can start next week at ikaw na bahala dito sa bahay. Pagbalik ko, you'll be my assistant, and that's the time I'll start mentoring you." Seryoso niyang sabi
