6.1: Filled with Overcoming Temptations

CHAPTER SIX (Part 1)

Filled with Overcoming Temptations – The Stolen Kisses

NAKAGAT ni Bari ang ibabang labi upang mapigilan niya ang mga ngiti. He's currently sitting on the corner while Czarina's entertaining her friends for her debut party. Napunta ito sa open bar at nakita niyang pinilit ng mga kaibigan nitong painumin ito ng alak.

                Bari leaned and watched her closely. Lalo na ang mga kaklase nitong mga lalaki. They were eyeing Czarina like a prey...or perhaps a flower they wanted to pick and play.

                But no. Czarina's heart cannot be and will not be played with. It will be taken care of. By him. Sorry, boys. You don't even stand a single chance.

                Sumimsim si Bari ng alak nang makitang umayaw na si Czarina at lumayo sa mga kaibigan nito. Hinawakan nito ang gown at nagpalinga-linga.

                Did Bari already mention how immaculate and beautiful she is tonight? He does not know what kind of gown she's wearing. It revealed a little peak of her cleavage, though. Kanina pa gustong hubarin ni Bari ang coat para lang ipasuot dito. Yet, this is her day. She loves the dress and Bari must admit, it really suits her. She's now a woman, after all.

                Napansin niya ang pagtingin nito sa direksyon niya. Agad itong naglakad palapit. That's right, my dear. Come to the one who loves you.

                Napangisi siya at napatingin sa hawak na wine glass. Isang baso pa lang ba talaga ang naiinom niya? Bari's all high.

Siguro ay labis-labis lang ang kasiyahan niya sa buong araw na iyon. This is the day he's been waiting for--to finally let Czarina know how much she means to him.

                But then again, Bari wanted to take things slow. He needs to court her for two years before he can totally have her. Wala namang problema iyon kay Bari. Saying "I love you" got to have its own timing, too.

                "I see you were having fun over there," aniya nang makalapit na si Czarina sa kanya.

                Umupo ito sa tabi niya at hinubad pa ang high heels sa paa. "My friends we're making me drink." She acted like she wants to vomit. "Ang pangit ng lasa ng mga cocktail drinks. Hindi na 'ko iinom ng ganoon!"

                "Good girl," aniya at saka sumimsim ng wine upang maitago ang pagngiti.

                "Can I try that?" sabay turo nito sa iniinom niya.

                A wine won't hurt her, lalo na at siya naman ang kasama nito. Magtatawag sana si Bari ng waiter pero kinuha nito ang wineglass niya at doon ito mismo uminom.

                Napangiwi ito. "Why do you drink that? Hindi naman masarap..." she coughed.

                Umangat ang gilid ng labi niya. "I'm glad you're not loving the taste of any alcoholic drink."

                Umiling ito. "Not for me." She sighed and looked at him. "Hindi ka pa ba uuwi?"

                "I'll stay as long as you're here." Aside from him being her escort, nais ni Bari na samahan si Czarina hanggang sa matapos ang kasiyahan. She started her day with him, he will end this special day with her.

                Napangiti ito at katulad ng dati ay lagi pa rin siyang sinosorpresa sa mga sinasabi nito. "Liligawan mo ba 'ko?"

                Ngunit natuto na si Bari na sumagot nang hindi kailangan mataranta ang kalooban niya. "I'll take you to dates."
