Made For Him

Chapter 31

Vanessa Jasmine's

The reason why Rio's maids are so busy is because he's having a party right now. A pool party to be exact.

All of his friends are here. Lance, Silver and Chris are enjoying the pool while Rio and Nik are on the resting chair near the pool. It's near sunset that's why it's not too hot.

Me, Aliza and A woman whom Chris brought is sitting on a circular table with umbrella on top. Hindi ko pa rin alam ang pangalan nito hanggang ngayon dahil tahimik lang ito at hindi nagsasalita maliban na lang kung si Chris ang kausap. Nasa may gate ito malapit at tila may kausap sa telepono and I think I saw her with Chris on the club where I met the rest of Rio's friend.

It feels awkward sitting here with Ali. I can't seem to open my mouth and talked since I am ashame of what she had witnessed earlier. I keep on feeling her stares at me but she's not saying anything.

Napabuntong hininga ako at humarap rito. "Tigilan mo nga ako sa kakatitig. I'm okay. I'm fine. I'll do what I need to do just as what you've ask me." I said straight to the point.

Napabuntong hininga ito at napahawak sa sintido. "I didn't knew he's this violent on you." Napaayos ako ng upo sa ikinomento nito.

Alam kong hindi pa niya alam ang tungkol sa nangyayari matapos akong kuhanin ni Rio. I assume Chris didn't spill all the information that Ali needed to know, instead he made up a story to make Ali believe. Alam kong ring hindi rin basta-basta maniniwala si Ali hanggat hindi niya nakikita ang mga nangyayari. She knew I was kidnapped but she didn't know the rest of the story.

"I'ts ok. That happen sometimes. May ginawa akong hindi tama kaya siya nagalit." It is half true that it is my fault. It won't happen if I just didn't wonder around the house.

Napabuntong hininga ito na tila ba'y sumusuko na and I'm glad. Sumandal siya sa upuan at uminom ng alak na hawak. "This party is boring."

Natawa ako sa sinabi nito. I knew it already since we are just sitting here doing nothing. Lahat ay nakahanda mula pagkain at set-up. At alam ko ring hindi ganitong klase ng party ang gugustuhin ni Ali.

"It is what it is, Ali. Marami namang pagkain, kumain ka na lang. May alak rin, uminom ka na lang." I said laughing. Natawa rin ito. Napaligiran kami ng katahimikan, well, not with the boys who keep on shouting and playing like kids on the pool.

Napatalon ako sa kinauupuan ko nang biglang may humila ng bakanteng upuan. "Oh my god." I murmur habang napahawak sa dibdin. Ramdam ko ang bilis ng tibok ng puso dahil sa gulat.

"Pasensya na. Hindi ko sinasadya." Paumanhin ng babaeng kasama ni Chris. Hinala ko ay tapos na itong makipag-usap sa kung sino man iyon.

Umupo ito at hindi na muling nagsalita. Nakapokus lang ito sa hawak na selpon na tila ba ay may inaantay. I can't help but stare at her. She's beautiful. Rounded black eyes, normal size of nose, big hearted lips in a small face. She looks innocent but fierce and scary.

Naramdaman at niya ang tingin ko kung kaya't umangat ito upang salubungin ang akin. Tumaas ang kilay nito na siyang nag-paiwas sa tingin ko.

Rinig kong bumuntong hininga ito. "I'm Cariela De Guzman. Chris's accompany." She suddenly said.

Muling umangat ang tingin ko rito dahil sa gulat. Her voice is soft but there's fearlessness in them.  "You know what, Ela. You are rude." Ali suddenly butt-in and I looked at her like she's gone crazy. I was kind of shocked because I didn't know they are close based on the first name basis. Hmm.
