christiane martel was right in front of my eyes, outside the gates of the one place i thought no one else will dare to intrude.

i gave him a questioning look. alam kong nagmumukha akong maldita sa lagay na 'to, but i do not care.

"state your business, choi,"

"what a great way to address me, hwang. huwag kang mag-alala, i came here with the purest of intentions," he responded, his mouth was in a grin.

"oh? pure intentions? i never thought such words exist in your vocabulary. i must've underestimated you so much. sorry not sorry tho," i replied.

you don't always get the upperhand, christiane martel choi.

as i was about to slam the gate right at his very face, he blocked it using his feet - causing it to get painfully squeezed by the gate.

"geez, and you're dumb too. that must've been where my cousin picked up his stupidity," i refused to show any worry in my eyes although in truth, medyo nag-aalala ako at baka nabalian na nga 'to. i'm only concerned na baka pagalitan ako ni mommy. after all, he was mommy's only and favorite godson.

"bakit ka ba nagmamaldita, kuusela? hindi ka naman ganito kamaldita nu'ng bata pa tayo. perhaps, acting tough? a-aww" he countered and it itched my hands. the urge to punch and ruin his 'delicate' face was present.

"shut up, christiane martel. you weren't this flirty when we were younger either? i call that quits now so step out and get away from my line of sight." i demanded pero nanatili siya sa lugar niya.

"so you were quietly observing me all these time, kuusela? baka secret admirer kita. darling, i might consider having you as my girlfriend right here and right now. just kindly say the words,"

the nerve of this flirt.

i kicked his knee, causing him to back down a little.

"violent, i love it kuusela. however, papasukin mo ako kung ayaw mong umabot ang pang-aabuso mo sa maganda kong katawan kay tita. how about that, hun?"

"tell me enough reasons to let you in, intruder. never in my entire life has mommy ever invited the likes of you on a random day. what's up with that, choi?"

"ang dami mong arte, kuusela. papapasukin mo lang naman ako. tita wanted me to stay for a while and give you company. ikaw lang mag-isa, tama?"

i completely forgot. umuwi si yayi irene at tito bee sa kani-kanilang bahay.

i scoffed, but before i was able to retort, a call erupted from my phone. mommy was calling and she wants his godson to accompany me while i was left with no rights to complain.

since i was out of authority, i left the gate open. kung gusto niyang pumasok, edi pumasok siya.

when i was halfway on the stairs, i remembered something.

"hey, choi. you may have been given the right to intrude this place, but never my room. don't you ever dare," and i left him downstairs.

i sighed as i stepped inside the only place i can have privacy. if he dares to step in here, hindi lang ipit at sipa ang aabutin niya sa'kin. humanda siya.

-

two hours later and i was already at the brink of boredom. i was done reading the latest series and the last book in my collection.

completely forgetting about christiane martel's intrusion, lumabas ako sa kwarto. as i was pacing the second floor where my room's at, nakarinig ako ng ingay mula sa pinakahuling kwarto sa floor na 'to.

my feet followed the noise and i was brought in front of the music room. i took a peek inside at nakita ko siyang komportableng nakaupo sa harap ng piano habang kumakanta.

tsk, if he ain't truly an intruder.

well i wouldn't deny, his singing was quite stable. maganda ang boses niya and it perfectly complemented the song he was singing.

i know this song.

he was singing jhene aiko's eternal sunshine. funny, the intruder has quite the taste in music. eternal sunshine is one of my favorites too.

"papanuorin mo nalang ba akong kumanta habambuhay, kuusela?" he suddenly blurted which cut me off of my thoughts.

"i absolutely have no plans given it's you, christiane martel. and besides, i was merely checking out what the noise was about. akala ko kasi pusang gala na nagtrespass,"

"nakakasakit ka ng damdamin, hwang. sabihin mo nalang kasing nabibighani ka sa boses ko?"

mahangin.

eto ba talaga ang student council president na tinitingala ng nakararami sa university? all i'm seeing is a total opposite and a rather annoying person.

"tch, mahangin ka rin pala. eternal sunshine? you have quite the taste in music. i'm impressed," i, for once, expressed something nice to him.

"thank you. ibig bang sabihin, nakapuntos ako?"

nakapuntos? sa ano?

"quit saying nonsense, christiane martel. know your bounds," i said and left him inside the music room.

the nerve of that guy.

he had the opportunity to see my nicer side, but it doesn't mean i dropped my keen observations.

nice but try again, choi.
