Autumn's POV
I found myself sitting on a bench in a park.
For a while, nakaramdam ako ng katiwasayan. Iyong pakiramdam na wala kang ibang iisipin, because the only thing you have to do is to rest from a long and tiring ride of your life.
I just sat there, closely watching what is happening around. I saw people come and go.
Kung hindi pa uminit ng sobra sa kinauupuan ko ay hindi ako aalis, but I can't take it, feeling ko magkakasun burn na ako. Doon ko lang chineck ang cellphone ko and I was surprised to see that it's past noon.
I started wondering what kind of preparation are they doing for my birthday party.
Kung ako kasi ang tatanungin I just want a simple celebration, which includes my family and close friends hindi iyong party na interrelated pa rin sa business.
I went straight where my car was parked, I immediately hop in, started the engine and drove off home.
The guards automatically opened the gate when they see my car coming.
I was to surprise to see a lot of vehicles parked in the front of the mansion.
"¿Donde estuviste querido?", salubong sa akin ni mom as soon as I stepped inside.
(Translation: Where have you been dear?)
"Just somewhere out there mom",
"We've brought your gown to your room, you can check it and see if it's okay", she said.
"Your make-up artist and hairstylist will be here at 3:00", segunda pa niya.
"No, don't call them anymore I can perfectly handle myself mom, don't worry",
"But---",
"I'll go upstairs now, excuse me",
Habang papaakyat ay nakita ko ang mga taong abala sa pag-aayos, paroo't parito ang mga ito so that explains the vehicles outside.
Pagkapasok ko ay agad kong nakita ang red gown, placed on my bed. I pick it, and saw that it was made by a designer from Texas. A Red Haute Couture Evening gown.
Nakakatawa lang isipin na nauna pang isipin ni mom ang gown at make up na susuotin ko kaysa ang batiin ako ng happy birthday.I sat at the edge of my bed. Iginala ko ang paningin sa loob ng aking silid.
I have everything that I need, I can get anything that I want, but those material thing is not what I needed, what I've been asking for is for me to be loved . Napailing na lang ako ng mapait. Sadly, iyon ang wala sa akin.
Tumayo na ako at akamang tutungo sa banyo ng makarinig ako ng magkakasnod na katok sa pinto.
I lazily walked towards the door and opened it.
"Happy birthday A",
"Hey, hindi ako makahinga", saway ko sa mahigpit na pagkakayakap sa akin ni Sky.
"Where have you been? Pinuntahan kita dito kanina pero wala ka", may pagtatampong tanong niya.
"Sumagap lang ako ng sariwang hangin, besides ipinagbilin ko naman sa mga maids na aalis ako", pagpapaliwanag ko.
"Mom and dad just arrived--",
"Yeah, I saw them earlier", I interrupted him.
"Oh, really that's great then", kapagkuwan ay naisagot na lamang niya.
"This will look great on you, it's just way too revealing", maya-maya ay pahayag niyang muli na ngayon ay lumapit na sa aking higaan upang suriin ang damit na nakapatong doon.
"Ayan ka nanaman eh", pasaring ko sa kaniya.
"By the way, I just came here to check on you and also to greet you, but I guess time is running you need to prepare for the party so mauna na muna ako",
"Sure", then he patted my head and headed to the door.
I glance at the wall clock in my room and saw that it was already past 3:00 in the afternoon. I immediately make my way to the bathroom.
After almost an hour of bathing, dumiretso na ako sa aking tukador upang simulan ang pag-aayos, I needed to look good so they can't say anything about me, aba mahirap na.
When I'm finally done, I took a final glance of myself before exiting my room.
Pagkalabas ko pa lang ay agad kong nakita si Sky sa na nakatalikod sa gawi ko alredy wearing his tux. His smell lingers to my nose. Kailan pa siya nagpalit ng pabango? I mentally ask my self. He seems to be not informed of my presence kaya naman kinailangan ko pang tumikhim para lamang maagaw ang atensiyon niya.
"Uhmmm, Sky", pagtawag ko dito ngunit hindi siya lumingon.
"Sky", muli ay pagtawag ko dito ngunit hindi pa rin siya lumilingon.
"Skyler", naiinis na ako sa pangdedeadma niya sa akin kaya naman mabilis kong tinawid ang espasyo sa pagitan namin at padabog siyang iniharap sa akin only to find out........
"R-ence", I was shocked. Kaya pala iba ang amoy niya. Oh my, what a dumb headed ass can I be?
"Finally, you've come to say my name", wika niya sa napakalalim na boses.
"What are you doing here?", tanong ko ng makabawi sa pagkabigla.
"Sinusundo ang prinsesa ko I guess", preskong saad niya na ikinakunot ng noo ko.
"And by the way I forgot to say how beautiful you are in that red gown of yours, you look so stunning baby", bulong niya sa tainga ko na nagpatindig sa lahat ng balahibo ng buong katawan ko. Nakakatawa pa na hindi ko na namalayan ang paglapit niya.
"And I must blame you for giving me a massive hard on right now", nakakapangilabot ang boses niya, hindi ko magawang kumilos man lang dahil sa katotohanang sobrang lapit namin sa isa't-isa at isang maling kilos ko lang ay magkakapalit na kami ng mukha.
Nawalan ako ng kakayahang magsalita, bumubukas ang aking bibig ngunit wala ni isa man lang salita ang lumalabas dito. What the freaking hell on earth is happening to me? I mentally questioned myself.
"Let's go, bago pa ako tuluyang malawa sa katinuan at maisipang solohin ka na lang, cause right now all I'm thinking about is--",
"Stop", pigil ko dito.
"Mauna ka na, susunod ako", pagtataray ko dito para mabawi ang pagkakatameme ko kani-kanina lang.
"I'm your escort so you're going down with me", he insisted.
"I don't need an escort, for heaven's sake I'm not a fucking debutant", sagot ko.
"But--",
"You heard me Rence, I don't need an escort, and please lumayo ka nga sa akin, naaalibadbaran ako sa iyo", patuloy na pagtataray ko.
"Autumn--",
"Hindi ako sasama sa iyo, so don't keep on insisting", seryoso kong saad dito.
I heard him sigh, kitang kita ang pagsuko sa kaniyang ekspresyon.
"Fine, see you at the party then", he said in a defeated tone and make his way out.
I watch him make his way down while calming myself from that close encounter. I feel like my heart is going out of my chest for pumping so hard that's why I take a deep breath, composed myself before going down.
" It's nothing Autumn, just ignore him", I chant to myself while making my down.
But then again, a part of my mind said that I can't really ignore him.
