Househelp

I didn't know if I felt relieved after Aiden brought me home or if I got sad because he just brought me home and left in an instant. 'Di man lang ako nito tinanong if I'm fine, thuo, 'di na naman kailangan.

It seems like I disturbed him from his flirting stuff, huh? Akala mo naman inutusang puntahan ako! Tsk!

Dahil siguro sa pagod at sa halo-halong nararamdaman dahil sa nangyari kanina kaya agad akong dinalaw ng antok. I just woke up with a heavy feeling. I close my eyes again when the harsh rays of the sun are directly falling on my eyes.

I groan as I slowly open my eyes again.

Napabalikwas lang ako nang bangon nang mapagtantong nakabukas lahat ng bintana at kurtina ng kwarto ko. Kaya pala tumama ang sikat ng araw sa mukha ko kanina. Siguro, hindi ko iyon naisara kagabi dahil sa pagod.

I sigh and decide to take a bath.

Kunot ang noo ko habang naglalakad pababa sa hagdan. I can hear the slow taps of a spoon in a coffee cup in my kitchen.

Who was there?

I tiptoed on the floor, trying not to create any noise. It may be Asthra who is preparing her own coffee, but it turns out not.

"What the fuck are you doing here?"

Nangangalaiting sigaw ko nang makitang prenteng nakaupo si Johann sa may island counter, sipping his cup of coffee.

"Good morning, love," nakangiting bati nito sa akin na mas lalong ikinainis ko.

Ang kapal ng mukhang magpakita sa akin dito!

"It's been five months since you left, and then you won't welcome me for a hug? Instead, you're angry?"

"Stop this nonsense shit and leave, Johann," nagtitimping saad ko. "And how did you get into my place?"

"Chill... I asked your parents yesterday, and your housekeeper let me enter here."

Kunot ang noo kong tinitigan si Johann dahil sa sinabi. Wala akong househelp dito! I'm living alone.

"Whose housekeeper are you talking about?"

"Hmm..." Bahagya itong nag isip bago ako sinipat. "Tsk! Your housekeeper seems too overprotective to you. If I didn't say I'm your fiance, he'll not let me in," kibit-balikat nito. "Anyway, I am here to visit you. I'll be back later for dinner with your parents. Don't bother to bring a car; I'll fetch you here, and better find another houseboy; I already fired him," tuloy-tuloy na saad nito.

Johann left me in an instant, kahit 'di pa ako nakakasagot dahil sa panay na pag-iisip ko tungkol sa sinabi nitong househelp ko.

I walked back to my room and decided to call my parents about this!

"Mom," bungad ko nang sagutin ni mommy ang tawag.

"Good morning, Hija. Why do you call?"

"Mom, bakit niyo naman po sinabi kay Johann ang address ko. 'Di ba sinabi ko na sa inyo na naghiwalay na kami, and I don't want to get involved with this man again," mahabang saad ko. I heard my mom blow a loud breath.

"Hija, he's sorry already, and he wants you to come back. Hija, that man is sorry; give him another chance."

I can't believe I'm hearing this shits from my mother. I can't believe it!

"Mom, he cheated on me, not just once! Tapos sasabihin niyong tanggapin ko ulit ang gagong 'yon sa buhay ko? Nagpapatawa po ba kayo?"

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang mga pinagsasabi ni Johann sa mga magulang ko. But I can't believe that they want me to forgive him and accept him again!

"Halia, Johann is trying his best to win you ba—"

I shook my head in disbelief.

"Are you kidding me, Mom?"

"Halia, hindi kita pinagsabihan noong nalaman kong nakikipaglapit ka kay Aiden Arceo. I know that he's a womanizer; he won't jump into a serious relationship with you. Akala mo ba hindi ko alam na halos diyan na matulog sa apartment mo ang lalaking iyon? He will just dump you after, Halia. Iiyak ka lang sa kanya. Kaya kung ako sa iyo, makipag-bati ka na kay Johann dahil—"

"Bye mom, just say hi to dad for me." I cut her off.

I can't believe this is happening right now! And who is the fucking househelp Johann talking about?
