"San ba tayo pupunta?" Takang tanong ko. Mag iisang oras na itong byahe namin tapos hindi parin kami nakakarating sa distinasyon namin. Sa tingin ko naman malayo-layo na ito sa bahay namin."Basta sa malayo."Oo nga malayo, yun ang sabi ko sakanya kanina diba?!"Saan nga?!" Tanong ko sakanya pero hindi nya man lang ako binalingan ng tingin at wala din syang sinabi. Bingi ba sya o nag bibingi-bingian! Nakakains ah!"Hoy! Sabihin mo sakin!" Pangungulit ko sakanya sabay hinampas ko pa sya sa kamay."Pwede bang mag relax ka lang dyan at hayaan mo akong mag drive ng maayos? Magtiwala ka sakin, magugustuhan mo yong pupuntahan natin." Seryosong saad nito sakin pero sa bandang huli ay ngumiti siya.Ba't parang may something sa ngiti nya? Hindi ko maipaliwanag kung ano pero may kakaiba talaga don sa ngiti eh! May balak yata sya sakin, kalokohan o baka pag tripan nya ako ganon!Tumikhim ako bago sya sinagot."Okay, f-fine!" Sabay napairap sakanya."Just trust me Vee." Hinawakan nya ang kamay k
"Mukhang gutom na gutom na talaga yang kaibigan mo ah, malapit na nya maubos ulam dito sa mesa." "Mabuti nalang meron pa don sa loob." Dinig ko yong mga pinagsasabi nila sakin pero hindi ko na sila pinakinggan pa."Ija gusto mo pa ba ng ulam?" Tanong nong matandang babae sakin."H-Hindi na po... okay lang." Saad ko na medyo nahihirapan pang magsalita dahil puno itong bibig ko ng kanin at ulam.Sobrang sarap pala talaga nitong piniritong isda. Isang beses palang akong nakakain nito, kasama ko si Bellie non, nag prito sya para sakin pinatikim nya ako pero highschool palang kami non.Hay ewan, mayaman naman kami tapos isda lang eh, isang beses pa akong nakakain. Ayy isang beses lang ba yon? Hindi ko na maalala yong iba pero sigurado ako na ang last kong kain is yong nong kaming dalawa ni Bellie. Nasa bahay kami non ni Bellie, kami lang dalawa kase nasa trabaho ang daddy nya tapos yong kambal nya naman nandon sa mga kaibigan nakikipag inoman. Mabuti nga yon eh, kase babastosin na naman
_James Villianuevva's Pov."Are you sure she's your friend James?" Tanong ni Tito sakin habang tinutulangan syang mag hugas ng plato."James?" Tinignan niya ako sa mata at napatawa na lamang ako."I'm her bodyguard Tito, sorry for not telling the truth early." Wika ko. Si Tita kase ayaw nyang ma involved ako sa mgs politiko kaya hindi ko sinabi ang too, kaya yon nalang ang sinabi ko na kaibigan ko si Vee. Mabuti nalang hindi dumaldal itong si Vee at sinabing bodyguard nya ako. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ba ayaw nila akong pumasok sa ganito, katulad nito na naging bodyguard pa talaga ako sa anak ng isang running for congressman. Lagot talaga ako sakanya, lalo na kay papa. Hindi nila alam na ganito pala ang nahanap kung trabaho, ang alam nila ay nagtuturo ako ng martial arts sa Cebu."Oh? Bodyguard? You found a job now huh. Anak ba sya ng isang politiko or--""Her father is running for a congressman Tito.""Really? Well, hindi na nakapag tataka kung bakit nag h-hired yong magulang ng b
_Vee Anika Wisconsin's Pov."Damn, itong baklang ito! He's getting into my nerves!" Gigil kong saad sa sarili.Ba't kase ayaw niya pang umalis samantalang di naman maganda ugali ko. Inaamin ko, mukha ko lang ang maganda yong ugali ko hindi. Dapat may gawin na talaga ako para mas mabilis kong mapapaalis si James. Hmm, ba't di ko nalang gawin yong mga ginagawa ko noon sa nga naging bodyguards ko? Yong pinaka worst talaga para mas mabilis ko syang mapaalis or ewan baka di na naman ito gumive-up kahit na sobra-sobra na yong kabaliwan dito utak ko.Ay ewan ko nalang talaga! Ba't kaya di ko nalang sya pabayaan ano?Lumingon ako likuran ko at nakitang papalaput sila sa amka ngayon. "James taga san kaba huh?" Biglang tanong ko sakanya sabay napahawak sa batok ko. Ba't ko nga ba sya tinanong?? Gosh napaka out of topic nong tanong ko ah! Kanina nga diba inaaway ko sya tapos ngayon tinanong ko sya nyan na para bang close kami baka naman isipin nyang interesado ako sakanya!"Ba't mo naman gust
"Vee I don't want to take a bath--"I retreated a little until the water was just up to my knees. "Why? Am I asking you?" I raised an eyebrow at him.You don't want to take a bath..."A-Ouch! Ouch, I think he bit me!"I acted and even held my foot.he quickly came to me and looked at it as well. "Where?? Where is the band---f**k!" It was as if I pushed him so he fell down and his body got wet in the water.I was laughing loudly but I was stopped when someone grabbed my leg and pushed it so I got wet too. "Damn! Why did you do that?!" I said annoyed and gave him a bad look."Why! You pushed me first and when I retaliated you were still angry?!"This is the curse of this gay man!"Whatever!" I said and tormented him.it stood up while I was still sitting here. I looked up as he extended his hand to me."You thought, I won't allow myself to not get revenge again!' I promised in my mind.I accepted it with a smile and pulled him causing him to fall again but I expected something else to h
"Is something wrong?" I asked wonderingly.His aunt's face showed fear...Did something happen that I don't know about? Why are they going to the hospital? Who is at the hospital? Oh, who's in the hospital?? Who will they visit? Maybe relatives.even I was a bit nervous with Tita's face as if she was restless."Come on Tita, he needs us now, we need to hurry to the hospital!"Huh? What is he saying??He held his aunt's hand and started walking. I scratched my head as I looked at him in surprise as he walked away from me.Even though I was confused, I wanted to go with her. "T-Wait, I'll come with you!" I shouted and ran after her on foot.Tact! Is James going to leave me here alone!! what if there are bad people who will hurt me here! It's really his fault that by chance, he'll be angry with my daddy and me of course!I almost tripped because of James' stupidity. Why do they walk so fast that I have to run!I sat in the backseat because his aunt sat in the front seat. The car started
"You think like a child, you know that?" I asked with raised eyebrows."Look who's talking. Am I really the mind kid? Aren't you talking to yourself?" Heck! He's reversing what I said, he's really shameless!"And when did I become a child?"I sneered at him."Playing pranks with your bodyguards, making them suffer as if they did something bad to you. All you have in your mind is nonsense, you're not even thinking about your future. And lastly, you're not just a kid, you're a cold hearted brat Ms. Vee.I just don't know if you mean it or if you really want to push the people who love and worry about you." This is what he said.Wow? Really?! Me? Cold hearted brat seriously? He was the first person to say that to me! and does he really think that all I have in mind is nonsense! Why did he go to my brain so he could say that!"You don't know anything James. You don't know anything so don't talk as if you already know my whole being. if you think you know me first just because you spent a f
"Are you done eating?" I asked him."Not yet ma'am Vee. We'll all be together later." This answers my question."Oh, okay." I'm just saying.After drinking water, I returned to my room. when I entered I felt my chest, I felt a little better because I think it was earlier."Looks like I'm going to sleep well now." I said to myself as I threw myself on the bed.I closed my eyes and after a few minutes I opened them and looked to the side, I looked at mommy's photo.I smiled while staring at the photo."I didn't have a good day today, mom, but I can't say that my day was bad, it was pretty okay compared to before. And I don't know but I can't explain something, something good happened tonight. I don't know why I feel lighter now after I apologized to an assistant here." I'm talking to her.I sat on the bed and took the photo before lying down properly. "What I did was right, right mom? I said something to her and I think, I did hurt her so much by what I've said to her earlier. I'm guilt
