CHAPTER 16: Shall we dance?

Arkeen Zeus’ Point of View

It’s only 6 PM but I’m already here at the Ferrer’s Mansion. I know that I said earlier that I’m going to fetch her by 6:30 PM. Ugh. I just don’t know what’s happening to me, but I want this to end. -_____-#

Pumasok na ako sa Mansion nila, nakasalubong ko naman ang Yaya ni Hera mula nung bata pa siya… May edad na ito, hindi ko naman siya uutusan eh. Tatanong ko lang naman kung nasaan ang alaga niya eh. Baka kasi hindi pa nakaayos ‘yun at paghintayin pa ako nang pagkatagal-tagal.

“Yaya, nasaan na po ang alaga niyo?” Tanong ko sa kanya. Tumigil naman siya at tinitigan akong mabuti, malabo na siguro ang mata niya at inuusisa kung sino ako.

Bigla naman itong ngumiti nang nakakaloko, anung problema nito? O.o

“Ikaw pala ‘yan hijo, nasa kuwarto ang asawa mo at nagpapaganda.” Sabi na eh, mang-aasar muna talaga ito basta nakikita ako eh. Matagal niya na akong inaasar kay Hera, mula pa nung Prep kami. Oo, aaminin kong may gusto ako kay Hera noon. Pero, hinding hindi ko inamin sa kanya ‘yun ‘no!

“Ganun ho ba? Sige po, puntahan ko na lang.” Binalewala ko na lang ang pang-aasar niya at umakyat na sa 2nd Floor, nasa ikalawang palapag kasi ang kuwarto niya.

Pagkadating ko sa harap nang pinto nang kuwarto niya, inayos ko ang coat ko pati na rin ang bow tie ko. Huminga ako nang malalim at kumatok na sa pinto.

*knock* *knock* *knock*

“Come in.” I heard her say. So, she’s still not ready. -______-# what do I expect? Girls.

Binuksan ko na ang pinto nang kuwarto niya at nginitian siya dahil ang ganda niya talaga. Samantalang siya, naka-ganito >> -_____-

“You’re not yet done?” I innocently said. Pumasok na ako sa loob nang kuwarto niya at humiga sa kulay pink niyang kama. Feel at home talaga ako dito, sabi nang Mom at Dad niya eh. Make myself feel at home whenever I’m here.

“Nope, I’m done because obviously I am.” She sarcastically said while rolling her eyes at the same time. She always does multi-tasking. Pansin niyo ba?

“Troll! I told you that I’m going to pick you up by 6:30 in this evening. But look at you, you’re not yet done.” I said while rolling over at her pink bed. Aish, baka magusot ang damit ko. Tsk.

“Ha! Thanks to you, it’s not yet 6:30 you dim witted guy. It’s 6:07 PM in the evening. You’re too early.” She rolled her eyes again. Napapangiti na lang ang mga stylists niya habang umaakto siya na parang bata.

“Aw, I thought it was already pass seven.” I checked out my wrist watch. Alam ko namang 6 PM pa lang, ayoko lang ipahalata sa kanya na excited akong makita siya dahil kahit sa sarili ko in-denial din ako. Hays!

“Excited ka lang na makita ako eh. Psh. Ang ganda ko ‘no?” She said well, more like teasing me.

Kung alam lang niya kung gaano siya kaganda sa paningin ko… but I won’t tell her that. ‘Cause I know I will surely break her heart when that time comes but will she really be broken? I hope she won’t fall in love with me like the way she did before. So that it won’t be hard for me on leaving her because I already promised someone for my forever. And it’s already too late to turn my back on her. “Saang banda? Diyan ka na nga. I’ll be waiting for you downstairs. Hurry up!” I acted coolly and serious. Lumabas na agad ako sa kuwarto niya at naghintay sa baba.
