LOUVILLE

My first kiss happened two years ago, and it still vivid in my memory like it happened yesterday. It was lasted for only a few seconds but I felt it was a lifetime. I was rooted on the ground as he retreated his back from me. Oo natulala ako. Literally time stops for me.

We are devastated upon hearing the death of Ate Gianne, she's too young to go. But life really works that way we are not bound to live forever.

"Condolence" I sincerely said to the del Pierro family.

"Thank you" Kuya Flynn answered me with sadness.

I hug each of them, I want them to know that I am always here for their family especially this time of grief.

I sat on one side of the chapel and offered my prayer to a very nice woman, whom life was taken by cancer. I stayed there as long as I can handle until I decided to go home. I was about to go inside my car when someone stop my hand.

"Louville let me drive" I heaved a deep sigh because I know who it is.

"I can drive Storm" I flatly said without turning my head to him. I am tired and lack of sleep what is wrong with this idiot?

Then the next thing happen so fast, he grab my car key, open my car and forcefully deposited me inside as he jog back to driver's seat. I close my eyes, I don't have energy to argue with him I'm sleepy.

"Okay, if this what you want fine! You always have your ways anyway" I sarcastically said as I close my eyes and drop my back on the backrest.

"Yeah that's right Louville just go to sleep" I heard him say. I grunted in annoyance.

Dalawang taon na ang lumipas at wala parin pinagbago, mas lumala pa ang pinagtatalunan namin na kahit simpleng bagay lumalaki. His just a jerk, stubborn, annoying and asshole. Di ko alam kung ano ang pinaglalaban ng lalaking ito. I remember one time he just barge in to the hotel where me and my group mates did a project. I hate him, God I loathe him.

"Where are you taking me Storm?"

"To the mansion"

"What?"

"Yes, Kamahalan"

Nagpupuyos man sa inis ay nag-isip ako para takasan siya. This prick! Nang huminto dahil sa stop light ay nakapag isip agad ako ng dahilan

"Can you open the door, I will just buy water in the convenience store" di naman ito nag duda at binuksan ang pinto when I'm out I walk faster from the car not towards the convenience store but rather on the opposite way. I will just ride a taxi. Peru ng may humawak sa baywang ko a at bigla akong kinarga alam ko na kung sino yun,

"Put me down Storm!" nagpupumiglas ako sa hawak nito. Yes it is scandalous but the hell I care.

He doesn't say a single word. Nang makapasok ito sa loob ng sasakyan ay galit ko itong binulyawan.

"Leave me alone !!!"

"Ano ba ang problema mo?Kasi kung kulang pa dagdagan ko!" ganti din nitong singhal and that makes me angrier! Pina-andar na nito ang sasakyan at nagsimula ng umusad, sa inis ko ay bigla ko siyang sinabunutan

"Louville stop, I'm driving" may paalala sa boses nitong sabi,

Suddenly a phone rang, Storm got the phone and put in loudspeaker before throwing it on the dashboard napahinto ako sandali sa ginawang pagsabunot dito mahirap na pag parents to ni Storm baka isipin nila sinasaktan ko ang anak nila, which is partly true.

"Hello Kuya.." and I heard Erin's voice.

"Max.."

And since it's Erin, I'm sure she will understand

"Fuck you Storm! Stop the car Now!" Piningot ko siya sa inis ko

I heard Erin's asking what happened but the series of curses from Storm was heard all over the car.

"Vienna stop it!...Fuck..Fuck..."

"Stop this fucking car now!"

"Could you stop it and shut the fuck up!" sigaw na din nito

" Stop. the. car. now." I am breathing hard already. I am over acting, yes but I don't really want to spend another minute with Storm de Cuesta. Kahit nakita ko na namumula na ang kanyang taenga na piningot ko. God si Storm lang po talaga ang may kakayahang gawin akong bayolente na tao. I'm sorry.

When suddenly he accelerated the car, napahinto ako at napatingin sa seatbelt ko. Agad naman akong nataranta

"Storm, what are you doing?" nahihintakutan kong tanong sa kanya. He doesn't answer seryoso lang siyang nagdrive at nakipagitgitan. Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko. Diosko takot po akong mamatay.

"Storm slowdown will you?! I don't want to die with you let me get out from this car and you can race to death whatever you want you can even go to hell" mahaba kung litanya sa kanya but he seems deaf, mas lalo pa niyang binilisan, mas lalo naman akong natakot. Para na akong maatake sa puso sa takot, until naiiyak na lang ako walang tigil sa pag luha ko habang hinihintay na mabangga kami while praying it won't happen.

Di ko alam gaano katagal na ganun hanggang pumasok ang sasakyan sa Mansion ng mga de Cuesta at muntik na akong masubsub sa lakas ng pagpreno nito, dali daling lumabas si Storm at pabalibag na isinara ang kotse habang ako nakatanga lang doon at di makapaniwala na buhay pa pala ako, ilang segundo din akong ganun.

When I realize what he did I am fuming mad as I follow him naabutan ko siya ng paakyat na siya sa hagdanan. Graveh tumakbo na ako siya naglakad lang, I was catching my breath when I called him.

"Let's talk!"

He halt but he never turn his head.

"What the fuck is your problem Storm? If you want to suicide do it alone!" my voices echoed.

"Ayaw mo naman akong kausapin? di ka magsasalita? Storm you almost killed both of us there! If you're life isn't important to you then spare me! "I don't even know that my tears are already falling.

"I still love my life Storm, I still wanted so much in this life even it was already plan by other's I still learn to love this life. I'm sorry if I am the one who's engaged with you. I will not stop you from doing the things you want even we will get married soon and after, our family just need a heir and that's all Storm, nothing less, nothing more" When Storm didn't move I turn my back and my jaw almost drop when I notice that his three brothers, staring at us like we are some movie scenes.

"What did he do to you Louville?" I heard Kuya Cloud serious voice.

"Storm?" I heard the seriousness of Kuya Rain too.

Thunder just look at me with worry,

"Answer me Sean Storm?!" lahat kami napapitlag sa sigaw na iyon ni Kuya Cloud, my heart almost jump off the ribcage.

I saw Storm turn to us and look at us seriously too, without remorse in his face.

"I race the car, with Louville beside me" he said with no emotion like it was just something that is usual to him.

"You..." Cloud was all red because of anger, dali namang napatayo si Kuya Rain para pigilan si Kuya Cloud na lumapit kay Storm, and Kuya Thunder was also quick to shield Storm.

"We never raised you to be that kind of bastard Storm" Kuya Cloud said as he loosen from Rain and leave.

"Louville are you okay?" Kuya Rain asked with all the concern

"I'm fine Kuya, I'm not hurt physically"

"You must be terrified, I will drive you home and Storm let's talk when I get home"Kuya Rain said before he guided me. I turn my head to see Storm reaction and there I saw Kuya Thunder checking on Storm if he is alright.

"Let's go" I heard Kuya Rain said.
