Hiring: UGLY Secretary (PUBLISHED under IMMAC)

Twenty Five

A/n: Offended ako last time, ha.

LUNA's POV

Javier took my things and put it all inside his car.

"Are you sure about this?" He ask

I nodded and plaster a small smile on my lips.

"Ha-ha!" He laugh sarcastically.

"You can't fool me, Althea. You can't run forever." He said

"Pero ayoko nang magamit nila Mommy at Daddy."

"Hindi mo sila totoong magulang, for Pete's sake. Bakit ayaw mo pa silang ipakulong!" May bahid na inis na sabi nya.

"Pwede ba, Javier. Ilang beses ko nang nasabi sa'yo na hindi ko sila ipakukulong."

"Pero, Luna---"

"Please, Javier. Intindihin mo na lang ako. Gusto ko munang malaman kung bakit nila yun nagawa. Alam kong may dahilan at yun ang gusto kong malaman."

Sasagot pa sana si Javier ng biglang isang humaharurot na Mustang ang papunta sa direksyon namin.

Niyakap ako ni Javier at sabay kaming napahiga sa pag-iwas.

Tumigil din ang Mustang sa may tabi namin.

Dali-daling tumayo si Javier at hinampas ang hood ng kotse.

"Gag* ka! Papatayin mo ba kami? Bumaba ka dyan!" Sigaw ni Javier.

Hinawakan ko na ang braso nya dahil sunod-sunod ang hampas nya sa Mustang. Namumula na din sya sa galit.

Pinatay ng driver ang makina ng sasakyan.

Binuksan nya ang pinto sa may driver seat at lumabas ang isang lalaki.

Nakatalikod pa samin ang driver ng bigla itong tumawa.

"Easy, Javier Moreno! You're too hot!"

Nagkatinginan kami ni Javier.

Sino ba to? Papaano nya nakilala si Javier?

"Who are you? Bakit mo ko kilala?" Madiing tanong ni Javier.

"Tsk! I know you more than you know me. As well as I know the lady beside you!"

Napasinghap ako ng bahagya.

"How are you Althea?"

The way he says my name gives me a chill on my spine. D*ng!

"H-How did you know me?"

I heard him chuckle. Hindi pa rin nya kami hinaharap. Ano bang naman to.

"Its too early for you, my dear. Just please don't go anywhere. Don't leave Ilo-ilo right now."

"C-Come again?"

"Just do what I said and I promise there's no such thing that will happen to you."

"How can we trust you if we don't know you?" Javier gritted his teeth as he ask

"Just please. Do what I said. There's a bomb planted on the plane where you would take your flight."

"S-Sino ka ba talaga?" I ask almost begging.

"Althea, please don't use that tone. H-Hindi pa ngayon ang oras. Kaya please sundin nyo na lang ang sinasabi ko. Wag ka munang aalis dito sa Ilo-ilo."

"C-Can you please turn around and face us?" I ask

He heaved a deep sigh.

We slowly turn his body pero nakayuko pa din sya.

He was wearing a black v-neck, pants and a necklace that has a pendant "K" and a sun glass.

Napahawak ako sa leeg ko. Kung saan nakasuot ang isang white gold necklace na may pendant din na "K".

My heart automatically pump.

"Face us, please!" I heard my voice. It almost crack.

He sigh again and do his chin up.

I stare at his face.

He has this thick brow, pointing nose, red and thin lips. Hindi ko makita ang mata nya dahil nga naka-shades sya.

I blink my eyes.

Kilala ko sya.

Pero hindi ko matandaan kung saan at kelan ko sya nakita or kung nakita ko na ba talaga sya?

Basta pamilyar.

Napatingin uli ako sa parte ng mata nya na pakiramdam ko ay diretsong nakatingin sa mga mata ko.

My heart beats too fast.

"Y-You look familiar! Sino ka ba talaga?" I said.

"Luna?" Javier call me

"Tss! Please don't ask that question now. Give me time. Just don't leave Ilo-ilo now."

"Bakit ba hindi mo na lang sagutin ang tanong namin?" Javier hissed

The Mustang's passenger seat swung open.

A white-skinned, beautiful lady came out.

She wear a black fitted dress that showing her curves, a high-heels that is about 3-4 inches. My gaze stop on her neck.

Nakasuot din sya ng white gold necklace at may pendant din na "K"

Nakasuot din sya ng shades.

She smile at me sweetly.

"Hi, Althea. It was nice to see you grown up." She said.

Her voice was too sweet and angelic. Dumoble ang tibok ng puso ko. Kung mabilis na nung makita ko yung lalaki, ngayon naman ay talagang dumoble dahil doon sa babae.

"S-Sino ka?"

"We have no time to answer for now, Althea, dear. But promise we will make things clear as the right time came, okay?" She said still smiling.

Napahawak ako kay Javier at napatago sa likod nya.

Mukha naman silang harmless kaya lang, hindi ko sila kilala eh.

"Don't be scared on us, Althea. We're not gonna hurt you." She said.

"S-Sino ba kasi kayo?"

The man look at his watch.

"Psst, let's go. Nakaalis na naman ang eroplano na sasakyan ni Althea kaya okay na!" Sabi nya doon sa babae.

Ngumiti yung babae at lumapit sa'kin.

She lightly push Javier and held my grip.

My eyes widen. Feeling ko tinakasan ako ng kaluluwa ko ng hawakan nya ang kamay ko.

Ang lamig noon. Sobra.

Iniipit nya sa tenga ko ang ilang buhok na humaharang sa mukha ko bago ako halikan sa pisngi.

"I miss you!" She whisper and hug me.

"Hoyy, anong ginagawa nyo kay Luna?"

Lumapit din sakin yung lalaki at niyakap din ako bago hinalikan ako sa noo.

"We will be right back okay. I miss you, baby!" He said and they both run and get in inside their Mustang.

Napatulala ako.

Sino sila? Bakit nila ako niyakap at hinalikan? Bakit ang lakas ng tibok ng puso ko?
