Chapter 8

Palace

Whoa? This is really a big house. The dream house that I'm dreaming of my own. Iyon agad ang naging reaksyon ko ng pumasok na ang kotse ni Levi sa napakalaki at napakamatayog na gate ng isang bahay.

The house is filled with lights around, na parang nanginginang sa sobrang ganda. I scan the whole surroundings. Hindi rin nakaligtas sa mga mata ko ang magandang landscape man-made fountain that gives the perfect picture in it. I thought for sure mas maganda ang sa loob ng bahay.

But wait. Kaninong bahay ba iyon? Sa mga magulang niya? Ipapakilala ba agad niya ako sa pamilya niya ngayon? I'm yet ready.

"W-What are we doing here?" I ask when he drags me in front of the house. I still stammering, hindi lang kasi pangkaraniwang bahay ang pinagdalhan niya sa akin. It's a very huge and so elegant type of house. It is like a mansion or a castle where the Prince and his Princess living together."I-Is your family live here?"

"No."

I frown. "So, w-who lives in here?"

"This is my house, Babe. I personally design this for my life in the future. It takes two years to finish it, twenty-seven lang ako ng sinimulan ko itong ipagawa and that's during my bachelors day." So he's turning 30. "This is what I want to offer for my future wife for living with me," Napasinghap ako sa pinupunto ng pinagsasabi niya. Its like gusto na niyang iungot ang kasal, pero hindi lang s'ya makadiretsyo.

"S-So, bakit mo ako dinala rito ngayon, what's the reason?"

"Because I want to show it for you kung okay na ba ito sa'yo. I want you roamed around para kung meron ka mang gustong idagdag o baguhin. Well, feel free para magawa na. And soon, we'll live here to build our family."

"H-Huh?" I face him in a sudden, my heart as in stop from beating normal.

"Pag kinasal na tayo. Dito tayo titira." Jesus. This surprise of him won't ever excite me the moment I heard his plan. Kung kanina na hindi ko pa alam ang layunin niya ay okay pa sana. It really gives shiver through my spine. Kinakabahan ako sa bilis ng mga pangyayaring ito sa amin. Magpo-propose naba agad siya? God! What about my career?

"But Lev-" he cut me immediately.

"Yeah, I know Babe." He smirks. "Its in case if you're ready to settle down with me." Then he hugs my behind. Pinatong niya pa ang mukha sa balikat ko and were both facing his huge and luxurious mansion. "This will be our sanctuary, dito tayo bubuo ng pamilya natin, dito din tayo tatanda. With our kids -"

"H-hey, hey you slow down huh. W-Why so in h-hurry? Look Levi, I-I'm not yet ready for having my own family. Magpapakasal at lalo na magkaanak. That was the last thing I can do to this life of mine Lev, and you know that marrying isn't my thing for now. My only top list of priority is my fame and modelling. Hope you'll understand." Naramdaman kong nanigas ito sa sinabi ko. Shit! My mouth. I offend his feelings. Tumayo siya at iniharap ako. Cold stare and disappointed filled his dark eyes. "D-Diba alam mo naman ang gusto ko pang marating sa sarili ko? You promise to understand me, Babe?"

Heavy breath and he nodded. "Yeah, if its what you want. Maghihintay ako, hanggang magsawa ka sa career mo." Then he smiles a bit yung hindi abot sa mata. "I'm always here and ready to support you Red. Basta kung ako naman ang humiling, sana pag bigyan mo rin ako."
