Prologue

"Arrrrrghhhhhhhhhh! May ikakamalas pa ba 'tong araw ko?!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

My tiny girly voice echoed inside the unilluminated stock room. I can now imagine myself glaring, smokes are coming out of my nose, while gritting my teeth like some little devil. Only that, I am covered with red liquid, which almost had a consistency like that of a real blood. The smell immediately filled my nose and I can almost throw up from here. May kalalagyan talaga ang gumawa nito!

"Tulong!" I yelled again.

This time, I'm calmer. I look like a painted sheep and I sound like a damsel in distress calling for a saving. Well, at some point, I actually needed a helping hand. If only I had my phone with me.

Stupid ka Saffhire!

I almost forgot that I was robbed earlier by some chinese man and almost got kidnapped--na well, uh, hindi ko alam kung iyon ba ang tawag kung kusa kang sumama pero hindi bale na. Counted pa rin naman iyon as kidnapping kung nagkataon.

Can this day get any worse, huh?

I was in the middle of throwing a pity party for myself, when I heard a loud bark of laughter outside. Straight from hell, Steel Carson is probably in front of the door, laughing like a mad man. Palakpakan tayo mga kababayan! Sa itsura nya pa lang, mukha nang walang gagawing matino.

"Sige tumawa ka lang hanggang matigok ka," I gritted my teeth as I tortured him for quite a lot inside my head.

Kung may Saint Peter Life plan ka na, ako na ang bahala sa pa-kape sa lamay mo. Kahit dalgona coffee pa, basta ba ay mawala ka sa paningin ko!

'Sorry Lord, kasalanan nyang bakal na yan.' I pouted.

I peeked through the glass window covered with dust and some cobweb. Bagaman medyo malabo, naaaninag  ko mula roon ang tao sa labas. There, I saw Steel's shoulder shaking, while his head is down. He is wiping something near his eyes. Kung ibang tao ang titingin, aakalain talagang umiiyak ang trying hard na yan. Pero, I know this jerk too well. Kabisado ko ang likaw ng bituka n'yan. He's surely laughing at my misery. He lifted his head up from the door to the window where I was standing, like he knew I was... there. Of course he did! Sa hula ko pa ay s'ya ang may kagagawan nito.

Prank lang, wala pang taste. This is so cliche!

He advanced kaya napahakbang rin ako. Nga lang ay paatras. Damn. Why am I intimidated?

His lips immediately curved into a smile. He looks dashing especially when the sunlight kissed his face. It made him look like a prince straight from a fairytale, that's going to rescue his princess, minus the horse. Bakit ang ganda ng epekto ng araw dyan sa kutong lupa na yan? Kakampi ata nyan ang araw eh.

'What are you thinking, Saffhire Miracle?!' I scolded myself.

Am I admiring him? No. Not a kutong lupa.

He squinted his chinito eyes. Ang maliliit na mga mata ay lalo pang lumiit dahil doon. I couldn't also help but notice how his pointed nose perfectly fits his face. Para s'yang obra na pinaglaanan talaga ng mahabang oras para gawing perpekto.

Scratch my description!

Hindi ko makakalimutan na ubod ng itim ang budhi ng kutong lupa na 'yan! Mukha syang tanga. There. The only adjective that suits him. I smirked at my thought.

"Hoy, Apoy!" sigaw ng kutong lupa na may breed habang tumatawa.

Psh! How dare he call me like that?! Di hamak namang mas maganda ang pangalan ko kumpara sa bakal na 'yan! Kasing tigas ng mukha ang pangalan at ugali. I started laughing hysterically upon thinking that. Almost sounding like a wicked witch casting a curse on someone o kaya ay habang naghahalo ng niluluto niya sa palayok.
