Chapter 28

Upon arriving at the house, Jasper was still talking to Manong, probably because instead of my planned 10 minutes, half an hour kaming nasa sasakyan. And of course, half an hour din na naka-stop lang 'yung car nila Evan sa likod namin. But for some weird reasons, Evan just quietly retired in the guesthouse. I thought he was going to scowl at me kasi 'di ba... obvious naman na may kababalaghan na nangyari sa car.

"Bakit ka naka-ngiti?" Nico asked Kellan. "Lagot ka kaya. Hinalikan mo si Ma'am."

But Kellan, of course being that he's Kellan, wiggled his eyebrows at me. "Sus. Good mood 'yang si Sir. 'Yung Seven Minutes In Heaven, e, ginawang Thirty Minutes in Heaven," he said, and then wiggled his eyebrows some more and grinned at me. "Ano, Ma'am? Good mood kayo pareho?"

I scowled at him. "Pagpush-up-in ka sana ni Jasper," I said and then nauna na ako sa bahay. It seemed like Jasper's doing his best para hindi magsumbong si Manong, and isa pa, it was already 2am. I was dead tired.

After cleaning myself up, I already positioned myself to sleep. Naka-higa na ako sa kama, with my eyes closed and everything when I felt my phone vibrating.

The next morning, I woke up with a tired body... but I was smiling. As in parang hindi matanggal 'yung smile sa face ko! It was a... gift of God na hindi nakarating sa parents ko what transpired in the club. Though... there was this bugging feeling inside me that was telling me that this wasn't the end of it. I had never prayed so hard before... I mean, we were only just beginning. I still... wanted to keep us a secret.

Was that so bad?

Because as much as I knew that I'd fight for Jasper, there's also no telling what my family would do. Lalo na at election season was already nearing. And during times like this, my family's most careful on not being associated with scandals or any negative news.

So, came Sunday, I was tired from everything that happened last night. It was two days of partying! But I forced myself to come out of bed dahil pupunta pa kami sa mass. It's the only day of the week na complete kami kasi on weekdays, we're all occupied by different things. Kaya naman kahit pagod ako, pinilit ko pa rin na bumangon. Family time is really important for me.

"Are you sure you want to go home?" Mama asked. I nodded, and then she felt my forehead with the back of her hand. "You're not sick, but are you sure you're feeling well?"

"Yeah... I just want to sleep. I'm just tired from work," I said, trying to pacify her. Her birthday's coming and she was going to meet with the organizers. Tapos she'd have her gown fitted pa. As much as I wanted to accompany her for some mother-daughter bonding, my bed's already calling me.

"Alright. I'll have Albert drive you home," she said, pertaining to Saint's bodyguard. Tulog lang ako hanggang makarating kami sa bahay. My eyes automatically opened when the engine stopped. I thanked Alber for driving me home tapos lumabas na ako.

My eyes were fixed on the ground, and I was walking, probably, like a zombie. I was just really tired! It had been a real hectic week!

Though I was tired, napadaan ako sa guesthouse... Ewan ko. Since the beginning, always naman na wala si Jasper tuwing Sunday. I had a wild guess na he's going doon sa Helene, but I still didn't have the guts to ask for it. I tried lang na dumaan kasi maybe... I mean, there's an us na... so, baka hindi na siya pupunta doon?

And maybe... just maybe... spend his Sunday with me?

"What... are you doing?" I asked with my forehead creased upon seeing Kellan... cleaning? He was holding a mop and dipping it in a pail!
