After meeting him last week he didn't show up again. Good for me, then.

"Maam Eileu!Ano break na ba kayo nang poging iyon?" Nicole keeps on putting 'maam' before my name when we're inside the school.

"Ha?" tanong ko dahil abala ako sa pag-check ng powerpoint sa laptop.

"Wala!Baka kasi available ka na. Available ang kuya ko, e!" her hands is in her chin. She's so persistent about her kuya, huh.

"Bakit hindi niyo kaya i-try mag-date!" as if that she'd just think of it.

"Bakit ba ikaw ang nagpupurisigi para sa kuya mo?" tanong ko habang abala sa laptop.

"So you want him to pursue you?" umupo siya sa harap ng mesa ko. Napairap ako. She's so kulit. "Okay, okay. I'll tell him na magm-meet kayo ngayon...after class!Is that fine?"

"Do what you want Nicole." mabuti at wala ang ibang guro sa faculty. Nakakahiya ang mga tanong ni Nicole!

Tiningnan ko ang cellphone kung may message ba pero wala. Mapait kong itinago iyon sa bulsa bago pumasok sa klase. I am thankful that my last class isn't that hard to teach. Unlike to the other strands...but it's okay. I will teach them still.

Nauna na si Nicole ngayong araw. Hindi ko alam kung bakit. Natanaw ko sa muli sa labas ang isang pamilyar na sasakyan. Kumalabog ang puso ko sa nakita. He opened the door when he saw me.

"I will make a scene here," pagbabanta niya.

May magagawa pa ba ako!Hindi ako nagsalita habang nasa biyahe. I don't want to talk with him. My eyes were aching so I'd closed my eyes.

I'd just wake up when I felt that the car isn't moving. Inayos ko ang sarili.

Natanaw ko sa labas ang pamilyar na bahay. I look at my watch and it's 9 o'clock in the evening!

"What the hell!Pinalipad mo ba ang sasakyan?" I said histerically. Ang biyahe patungo sa La Purisima ay mahigit sampung oras!

"I took the shortcut." lumabas siya at pinagbuksan ako.

"Kaya ko!Get off of your hands to me!" nainis ako. He's touching that whore and now he's here touching me!

Kumakalam na ang sikmura ko. I want to shout it in his face. Naamoy ko ang mga dala niyang pagkain.

"I'll just prepared the food. It's late." umirap ako at hinayaan siyang pumunta ng kusina.

Naiwan ako sa sala. Iginala ko ang paningin at nakita ang plorera. Sa inis ay tinulak ko iyon gamit ang daliri. Nalaglag ang plorera at nabasag.

Agad kong kinuha ang matalim na bahagi noon at hiniwa ang sofa.

"Eileuthea!" inagaw niya sa’kin ang bubog. Tiningnan niya ang mga kamay ko.

"Pwede ba umalis ka sa harapan ko at baka hindi kita matantya!" naiirita kong sabi at lumabas ng bahay niya. I better go to Lola!

I saw him followed me.

"Can you please.." huminto ako at pumikit. "Don't follow me. I just want to go home...please." may diin ang mga salitang iyon.

Hindi ko na siya tiningnan pa. I ran away from that house. My eyes were blurry and it's dark on my way to the mansion. I fell on the ground when I'd stepped on something. Hinawakan ko ang tuhod at ang kaunting liwanag na mula sa poste ng gate ang nagbigay ng liwanag sa akin.

My tears were continuous in flooding on my cheeks. I just can't handle the pain I am feeling right now. Someone help me to get up.

I know it's him. He scoop me using his arms and carried me like a newly wed bride. Isiniksik ko ang mukha sa kanyang leeg. He walked slowly.

"Hush..hush it." he whispered over and over again until we reached his house.

He put me in the bed like I am fragile.

"Sleep here. I'll take you home tomorrow if that's what you want." he left me inside the room. I want him to stay with me...but I couldn't.

Dahan-dahan akong nahiga sa kama at niyakap ang tuhod. Thank that it's just mild. Thanks to my slacks. I tried to sleep. I really tried but I can't.

Sari-sari ang tumatakbo sa utak ko. Tumayo ako sa kama at sumilip sa bintana. May tree house!It has beautiful aesthetics!

Lumabas ako ng kwarto para makita ng malapitan iyon. I tiptoed palabas.  Dahan-dahan akong umakyat sa kahoy na hagdan. Bumungad sa akin ang mga litrato...mga litrato ko. Kinilabutan ako sa nakita. Narinig ko ang paglabag ng isang lata sa sahig.

"What are you doing here?" napaigtad ako sa pagkagulat. Muntik na akong malaglag pababa. Nakasandal siya sa dingding.

"Sorry..." I said but he immediately stand and offered me his hand. “Hindi na, I’d just thought that there’s no one in here.”

"You can stay." nag-alinlangan ako kung aakyat ba o hindi.

I thought it's peaceful here. Hinatak niya ako pataas at bumagsak kaming dalawa sa sahig.

My hands were on his chest. Our face is so close to each other.

"Can I..." he look at my lips. "kiss you?" he ask and I felt his lips slowly brushing mine. Nakakalasing ang mga halik na iyon.

He change our position. I felt his hands inside my blouse. Napadaing ako ng hawakan niya ang aking dibdib. Naramdaman ko ang malamig na sahig ng tree house.

"Le..iou.." nakagat ko ang labi. I don't know how it escape from my mouth. Damn.

He kissed me on my lips..down to my neck and down to my breasts!I shut my eyes closed.

"Leiou!" frustrated kong sabi. I heard him laugh. He remove his shirt.

"Sorry.." showered with his hot kisses again. My hands were on his head. I've tried to pull out his shorts but he put back my hands on his chest and on his head.

Pakiramdam ko'y umiikot ang mundo ko sa ginagawa niya. I will give it to you, Leiou.

I love you.

"I love you, Eileuthea...." he whispered in my ears softly and hugged me. He lift me into the small bed here. Isiniksik niya ang sarili niya sa akin.

“I miss you, so bad.” he whispered. I hide myself into his chest. I heard him chuckled again. Sinampal ko ang dibdib niya. My face heated at that. "I love you so much." he whispered again and kiss my hair.
