When i pushed open the door ay ang unang tumambad sa akin ay malakas na baho ng alak. And then I saw Mara. In the arms of a man i haven't seen before.
Continuation...
His left arm holds Mara's shoulder and the other one is in Mara's elbow. He has a broad shoulder and strong muscles ( well that's what my judgement tell, bakat na bakat kasi sa suot niya) . He's tall.
Towering over my 5'5 feet. I looked at his face.
He's got a strong jaw and a chiseled cheekbones. He could be as hot as Angelina Jolie, boy version.
His pointed nose seemed to scream for attention, and it certainly got what it wants. Although the most part of his feature that got me agitated is his piercing brown eyes. Their deep irises dilated as they stare at me like a hawk waiting for his prey to devour. Its like he's undressing my deepest-disturbing-secret because of the way he looked at me and it got me whipped. I was left bare and weak. And i hate being weak!.
I cleared my throat. Finally aware of Mara's unconscious state. And finally away from his hypnotizing look.
Kinuha ko si Mara sa kanyang mga bisig ng walang paalam. Mukhang nabigla siya sa ginawa ko kasi kamuntikan na siyang ma out of balance.
I looked at him once more but this time my guard is up. I gave him my fake smile and thanked him for driving Mara here.
" No problem" ang lalim talaga ng boses niya. Lalaking lalaki.
Nagkamot siya ng ulo na para bang may gusto pa siyang sabihin pero nahihiya itong magsalita.
I can't blame him though. There's just enormous tension between us.
" 'night" sabi ko. Pumasok na ako sa loob akay-akay ang walang malay na si Mara. Mabigat siya walang duda diyan.
Ngunit bago ko pa man masirado ng tuluyan ang pinto ay hinarang niya ang kanyang kanang paa. Nabigla ako sa ginawa niya kaya na pasinghap ako ng wala sa oras. Hindi ko kasi inexpect na gagawin niya yun.
Serial killer ba to? Na nagpapanggap lang na kakilala ang lasing at wala sa tamang katinuan na Mara para i-rob kami tapos itapon ang katawan sa ilog pasig?!.
O di kaya manyak to?....... Ay masyado siyang gwapo para maging manyak lang. But it could be, right? Knowing these days mahirap nang malaman ang mga rapist at mamamatay tao.
" chill! Its not like I'm going to kill you or something. I just wanna ask you one thing " sabi niya na para bang nababasa ang iniisip ko.
Okay, masyado bang halata ang takot sa mukha ko?.
" Fire away because as you can see I have a hundred and ten pounds lying on my shoulder right now which she and I could be lying on our own bed, resting our ass out and call it a night. But thanks to you, our night is delayed. " hindi ko ibig sabihin yan ngunit nabibigatan na talaga ako kay Mara tas 'tong isang to, mas lalong pinapatagal ang paghihirap ko. At wag nating kalimutan na ginambala nila ang tulog ko. Madali akong mairita. Obviously.
I know i shouldn't have act like that because in the first place hinatid niya si Mara dito sa bahay when he could have leave her ano mang oras pero naiirita na talaga ako eh.
" Sorry I didn't mean to hold you back but i dont think we've met before. I'm Jake " he said smiling.
Tumaas ang kilay niya ng di ko siya sinagot kaagad.
" Sorry but I don't give my name to strangers" and with that sinarhan ko siya ng pinto. Right to his face.
I know a player when I see one. From the way he look, to the way he smile halatang bihasang bihasa na itong "makipaghalubilo" sa mga babae. I've already had enough players in my life and all of them bought nothing but pain and destruction. Minsan ko nang ipinagkatiwala ang sarili ko sa isang taong akala ko mababago ko ngunit it was another way around.
Ako ang nagbago. Ako yung nawala. Ako ang natalo at ako yung nagdusa. At wala akong plano na maulit na naman yung nangyari sa akin, kahit sino pa yan.
Kahit kasing gwapo pa yan ni Patrick Schwarzenegger o kahit kasing sexy pa yan ni Chris Hemsworth. Hinding-hindi na ako mahuhulog sa bitag ng mga taong yan. I've learned my lessons two years ago.
I put Mara to her bed at pumunta na rin sa sarili kong kama. Now that I'm awake i don't think na makakatulog pa ako ulit nito. I have a lot of things running through my mind kapag gising ang diwa ko. Na parang isda na hindi makatulog kapag maliwanag. I use my brain more than you could imagine.
" Kayo pala ni Mark? " nabigla ako ng may lumapit sa akin na babae. Hindi ko siya kilala pero minsan ko na siyang nakita dito sa campus. I think she's a junior. Freshman pa kasi ako. Kakagraduate ko lang sa highschool.
" Ahmm oo, bakit po? "
" Talaga?! Balita ko kasi.... Ay wala nevermind " mukhang nagdadalawang isip siya na sabihin sa akin.
But I'm a girl who is persistent when it concerns to my life. So i pried it out to her.
" Sabi-sabi kasi dito sa campus na... Ano nagda-dating na daw sila Veronica at Mark noon pang summer.
Ano? Don't look at me like that. Hindi ako ang nagpakalat ng balitang yan. " Depinsa niya ng tinignan ko siya ng masama.
" Sorry but kung sa tingin mo na mapapahiwalay mo kami dahil sa hakang haka na yan. Nagkakamali ka, I know Mark more than any of you k. So please get lost " pride ko na ang nagsalita. Mabait ako, ngunit ang pinakaayaw ko talaga ay matapakan ang pride ko.
Mark would never cheat on me. Not even with Veronica, she's our campus cheerleader captain. She may be pretty but I'm drop dead gorgeous. A genius one you might say. I've got straight A's , a valedictorian.
But not a geek. I know how to play games, I'm active with some sort of things... Things like sex , pots and parties. You see, i don't lock myself to study, nor always stick my nose to a book. I am neither of those things. My knowledge just came out naturally so that's why Mark won't cheat on me. I'm too good for him. Or anyone else.
Pero mali ako, he cheated on me and that's when i started to lose everything.
