YOU'RE SO BLIND TO SEE

1

Ilang minutes na lang mararating ko na ang bahay ni Mrs. Shalon. Sya ang mommy ko at ako naman si Marian "Ian" Winterfold. After my dad died 8 year ago, mom got married again last 2 years to a businessman named Rhalf Shalon.  

"Andito na tayo Mam," I looked out the window. Yes ito na nga yun. I am in front of a huge house in the middle of a gorgeous landscaped garden.   Ibinigay ko na ang bayad ko sa taxi driver at di na nag abala pang kunin ang sukli.

Early flight na ang kinuha ko from Davao to Manila.   I press the doorbell and agad naman bumukas ang gate.  

"Mam Ian, anjan na pala kayo," sabi ni Betty. Gusto ko sanang sabihing wala pa ako at imagination na lang ang nakikita nya pero wala ako sa mood.   Behind her I saw my mom walking towards me, smiling.  

"Ayaw mo kasi magpasundo sa airport sana di ka na napagod sa pagtataxi," and then she hugs me. I really missed her.  

"Mom, is it really okay that I would stay here. I can stay on a hotel if its not." Until now kasi nahihiya pa rin ako kay tito Rhalf.  

"Dont be silly Ian, you are welcome here to stay as long as you want. Your tito Rhalf make sure your room was done first thing in the morning so dont think too much, okay!?"  

Tumango na lang ako. Dumiretso ako sa room ko, Im tired and I want to take a nap. Mom told be to go down na lang daw when I want to eat. She is probably busy with all that is hapening to the hotel. Owner kasi siya ng isang 5 star hotel along the metro and they will be having guest from Europian Embassy so need talaga ni mommy asikasohin lahat.  

My eyes feels tired, and before I know it Im sleeping.           

-----------------------------------------------

I woke up with the knock on my door.  

"Mam Ian, kakain na daw po. Pinapagising na kayo ng mommy nyo."

"Okay, paki sabi bababa na ako in 10 minutes."  

Pumasok ako ng banyo at naghilamos, I over slept. Its 7PM, dinner na. I choose to wear a floral house dress. And put some powder and lipgloss. Hindi ako lumalabas ng room na walang ayos, feeling ko every moment I should be beautiful. Not that Im ugly or something.  

I have light brown color of eyes, shoulder length brown hair, and a white complesion. All got from my mom. Matangkad din ako with my 5'6" height and slim figure. Di naman sa pagmamayabang pero maganda talaga ako. Mana ako sa mommy ko.  

Sana dining room na sila mommy at tito Rhalf ng bumaba ako. I seated beside my mom when I noticed an extra plate across the table. May bisita siguro.  

"I hope comfortable ka sa room mo Ian," bait talaga ni tito Rhalf, gwapo pa. Isa syang arabo from Dubai, mayaman pero humble. Kaya siguro nagustohan sya ni mommy.  

"Yes tito, its perfect! Thank you sa pag tangap sa akin sa bahay nyo."  

"I treat you as my own daughter Ian, there is nothing to be thankful. And besides bahay mo rin ito." he smile and gesture na we shoild eat na.   Im in the middle of eating my food when someone stand in front of the table.  

"Sorry, Im late."  

Shocks! Ang gwapo naman nito. Kitang kita ko din nag sikuhan ang dalawang maid sa gilid. Siguro kinikilig. Paano ba nmn kasi ang gwapo nya talaga, walang sinabi si Xian Lim sa kagwapuhan nya. Matangkad, mestiso, kissable lips,mapungay ng mga mata. At ang macho nya sa suot nyang jersey.  

"Hi, you must be Ian. Im Caleb." nakasmile na sabi nya.  

OMG! Nakita ba nya akong napanganga sa kagwapuhan nya??? Nakakahiya.
