My Secret Fiancé [Completed]

Chapter 7:

Makalipas ang dalawang araw at nakalabas na rin ng hospital si Jasmine. Kasalukuyan siyang ipinagmamaneho ngayon ni Steven pauwi ng bahay nito. Hindi pa pumayag nung una si Jasmine na ihatid siya ni Steven dahil ayaw niyang takotin ito sa hitsura ng loob ng bahay niya, ngunit wala naman siyang nagawa dahil nagpumilit ito at alam niya naman na mapagkakatiwalaan niya si Steven.

"Just stop it right on that house." Turo ni Jasmine sa kulay puting bahay.

"Is that your house?" tanong ni Steven matapos maihinto ang sasakyan.

"Yeah, it is."

"So big and beautiful." Nakangiting sabi ni Steven.

'Yeah, tama ka. Maganda nga, sa labas nga lang.' sabi ni Jasmine sa isipan sabay napaismid.

"May kasama ka ba sa bahay mo?"

"Kasama? Wala. After my grandfather passed away, I lived my life alone."

"Really? Even maids?"

"Even maids I haven't."

"I'm sorry. If I just know, sana inagahan ko ang araw ng pakikipagkita ko sayo."

"Don't be sorry. You didn't do anything wrong and for meeting me? You're in right time."

'You're in right time dahil nawala si Charlie yet you came. It's right that everything happens for a reason. Maybe it's God's planned after all, he took Charlie and sent me a man who is close to my heart.'

"Right time? Really? So, what are we waiting for? Let's go inside your house?" ani ni Steven. Kanina pa kasi sila nakatayo sa labas ng bahay nito. Mukang kinakabahan kasi si Jasmine sa magiging reaction ni Steven kapag nakatungtong ito sa loob ng bahay niya.

"Ahm... are you sure you wanna go inside? Wala ka na bang ibang gagawin? Or some business meetings?" paghahanap ng palusot ni Jasmine para mataboy si Steven, baka kasi may nakalimutan si Steven na lakad or meeting na pupuntahan kung saka-sakali.

"Min-Min, I cancelled all my appointment today because I want to take care of you and we need to discuss a lot of things. So, If I, were you? I will open this door right now." napabuntong hininga lang naman si Jasmine sabay sumagot, "Okay... it looks like I can't change your mind."

"Whoah..." mahinang sabi ni Steven matapos makapasok sa loob ng bahay ni Jasmine.

"I can't see anything. It's too dark."

Pinaandar naman ni Jasmine yung switch ng ilaw dahilan para may makita si Steven.

"Better?" tanong ni Jasmine dito.

"Better. At least I can see you."

Bigla namang hinawakan ni Jasmine yung kamay ni Steven at dinala papuntang room ng lolo niya.

"Whose room is this?"

"This is my grandpa's room. At least here, you will be comfortable because it's brighter. Anyways, I'm sorry about my house. Its kenda scary." Sabi nito sabay ngumiti ng pilit.

"Its okay Min-Min, I understand." Sabay hinawakan ang dalawang kamay ni Jasmine.

"What do you mean you understand?" kunot noong tanong ni Jasmine.

"I understand your situation."

"My situation? So, you know?"

"Yeah. I know that you have Lightephillia Phobmatique."
