Hit Of Love and Desire (LCS #3)

Chapter 11

Embarrassment

"I saw a bouquet of roses in the living room yesterday night who gave you that?" Mom asked while drinking her tea.

We're here in the dining and eating our breakfast. My mom and dad are ready for work, samantalang ako ay naka pantulog pa dahil afternoon pa ang pasok ko. I wipe my lips using the table napkin. Tinignan ko si Daddy na nag hihintay ng isasagot ko.

"Suitor" i answered.

"Who?" Mom asked again.

"Richard Valdez"

Tumaas ang kilay niya at nilingon si Dad. "Valdez, I know her mother.. well not bad, why not inviting him to have dinner here" she suggested.

Umiling ako at ngumiti. "No mom, i don't want to have bias because his cousin Aljhay is courting me too"

"Oh.." ngumiti siya. "It's up to you, but don't forget my instruction Dasha"

I nod. "I know mom"

"Good then"

After ng breakfast umalis na sila. Hindi ko nasabi ang sasabihin ko sakanila. Tinignan ko ang phone kung saan nakalagay sa Gmail. I received an email again from Val Quin the owner of Quin Network. They inviting me to guest in Tru Channel and inviting me to acting workshop. They also follow all my social media, ang sabi ay may potential daw ako maging isang actress, pinapanood din nila ang  mga videos na ginanapan ko sa play dito sa school at ang pag kanta ko. And because I'm famous when it come to social media mas lalo silang naging interesado saakin. I really want showbiz and I badly want to say yes but my parents is not favor about this. Credible ang mga messages dahil na naka face to face ko si Val Quin through video call but I'm a minor and guardian approval is needed.

And I know even I tell about the email, Hindi parin papayag si mommy especially my dad dahil ako ang hahawak ng company, they want me to take business even I want showbiz.. I can't. At kahit tumanggi na si mom sa offer patuloy parin sa pag email saakin, umaasa na papayag ako. Ayos lang din naman saakin dahil gusto ko.

I'm a bit sad when I prepared to go to school. Kumuha rin ako ng can of soda sa ref. Para kay Stan, sabi niya kasi favorite niya anything so ibibigay ko kahit ano. I don't know? Gusto ko lang siyang bigyan at sasabihin ko rin kina Lyka ang sinabi niya saakin kagabi.

"Maam i-text niyo po ako kung anong oras kayo matatapos" My driver said.

Tumango ako. "Okay.."

Inayos ko ang palda pagkababa ng sasakyan. Naglakad na ako papasok sa school habang chine-check ang maliit na paper bag kung saan ko nilagay ang can of soda, medyo basa na dahil sa moist ng tubig.

"Sasha"

Kumunot ang noo ko ng marinig ang pangalan ko. Agad ko namang nakita si Rae? Why he's calling me. "Yes?"

He's wearing their criminology uniform, may sinasabi rin naman siya pagdating sa itsura. Ngumiti siya saakin. "I'm glad to see you.."

"Hmm.." tumango ako. "I need to go" maglalakad na sana ako pero hinarangan niya ang daan ko. Napatingin ako sa mga estudyanteng nakatingin saamin, may ilan na tumigil pa talaga at ilan na nag bubulungan. Issue. "What is it?" Tanong ko.

"Easy, I just want to get your number, Hindi ka nag re-reply sa social media.."

My number? Is he crazy? He has a girlfriend and he want to get my number. "I'm sorry? why would I give you my number"

Ngumiti siya at tumitig. "Medyo masungit ka pala, but I like it.. may masama ba kung pipila ako?"

Oh really. I shook my head. "You have girlfriend-"
