The Edge of Us

One

"If meeting you breaks me into pieces, I'd rather be dead."

The knock on the door echoed in the large room where I am peacefully shedding my tears under the fluffy sheet. Waiting to the person to get in, I positioned myself to sit halfway.

"Miss, Master wants you to prepare yourself for the lunch downstairs." She's definitely one of his maids here.

Just by her looks wearing that skimpy black and white dress and that small black hat like those nurses, she looks like pussycat with the missing boots in that get up. She look thoughtful the way she patiently wait for my response but it doesn't waved my annoyance.

"Is he for real?" Asking her without needing the answer.

"Tell him that if he wants me to join in his boring meal time, it would be nice if he can carry me down there." Sagot ko sa kanya.

"Yes, Miss." She answered and made her way out.

"Huh!" What kind of a man he is asking me join him to eat pagkatapos niya akong pwersahang ipasok sa malapalasyong kulungan na ito?
Only then, inilibot ko ang aking paningin sa malaking silid na kinalalagyan ko.

Napahinga ako ng malalim sa pagkamangha, ngayon ko lang kasi napansin na hindi lang ito ordinaryong silid katulad sa nakasanayan ko.

The first door that I open leads me to the walk-in closet but not just a closet maybe the right term to describe this is mega walk-in closet because it has its own dressing room. Napabuntong hininga nalang ako sa mga nakikita ko, from this door ay iniligid ko ang mga mata ko. I can see my reflection in each closet for each door of it is made of glass allowing me to see the content. Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Hermes, Prada, Chanel were branded in different clothings labels before me. Placing my right hand in caressing them as I pass through I sauntered out of it to check the remaining rooms.

Next door leads me to a private theatre room. Then the other was a bathroom, I don't know if it's only for me to take a bath for it doesn't look like it is dahil sa subrang lawak ay nandito na ang vanity table where most of the products that I usually used at home are here.

Pero ang pinaka nagustuhan ko sa lahat ay ang balcony na tanaw ang lake at Golf-green sa labas kung saan malaya kong mapagmamasdan ang paglubog ng araw. A breath-taking view that I always wanted to witness since I was a kid. This place really screams luxury at its grandeur.

Inhaling the fresh air coming from the lake, I closed my eyes and let the moment relieves my mind from so much stress.
Drifted by my thoughts I didn't notice someone's foot steps approached me. I spun around the moment I feel his presence five steps away from me .

I raised my brows to question his appearance. Yet, he remains silent and continue to scrutinized me from head to toe like a beast who study his prey's asset before he'll seize and devour it.Napasinghap nalang ako.

"Are you that hungry?" Bulalas ko ng may halong pang iinsulto. Ngunit hindi ito natinag at naglagi pa ang mga mata nito sa naka umbok kong dibdib.

"Huh!" Aba'y ginagalit ba ako nang taong to?

"Stop staring will you?" He only chuckled to intensify the anger I've been holding in. No, you are not getting me wild right now for just appearing so enticing and super edible. So, no! hindi kita papatulan.

Pinili ko na lamang na umalis sa harap niya. Napahinto ako nang hawakan niya ang kanan kong braso at inilapit nang kaunti ang mga bibig niya sa mukha ko.
Napatigil ang paghinga ko at natulala.
