"I thought I saw you," sabi niya. "Anong ginagawa mo dito? And what are you wearing?"Tiningnan niya ako mula ulo hanggang paa. I bit my lower lip. Sa lahat ng puntahan niya, bakit pa dito? I didn't expect him to be here! Wala ding sinabi si Dad. I should've thought earlier na business friend ni Dad yung Daddy ng celebrant. Of course Sir Vincent would be here. The possibility of Timothee to attend is high!"Ah. Ano kasi Sir. Kaibigan ko yung maid ng celebrant. Oo. She invited me," palusot ko.Lame, I know. Pero wala na akong maisip na magandang palusot. "But look at you," turo niya sa sarili ko. "You look different!"Sinipat ko yung suot ko. "Hindi po ba bagay sa akin?""I didn't say that. I can't believe that a maid like you could look like that," sabi niya.I frowned at his statement. "Are you insulting me?"He smirked and said something else. "Saan ka nakahanap ng pambayad para magpaganda?""Malaki po yung sahod na binigay ng Daddy niyo sa akin. Bakit po? Wala na ba akong karapata
Yes, No, Maybe Chapter 27
I finally saw who the birthday celebrant is. Sure, she's pretty, tall and looks rich. Masasabi mo talaga na marangya yung buhay nila. Although she's not familiar. Hindi ko kasi tipo yung kilalanin ang mga anak ng kaibigan ni Dad. I mean, am I even a daughter to begin with. Yes. I have a father pero hindi naman tumayong ama. After the ceremony, we finally had our dinner. To be honest, ito lang naman ang hinintay ko dito. Ang kumain. Hindi naman ako patay-gutom but eating something that's free is more delicious than buying it with your money. Mas masarap talaga yung libre.As I was eating, I felt Timothee's stares. Hindi ko ito pinansin kasi baka sabihin namang nagfi-feeling ako. I'm not in the mood to bicker kaya pinabayaan ko nalang."I'd like to raise a toast to my daughter," said the father of the debutant as he raise his glass. "And to her fiancé, Edward Reyes!"Everyone started gasping. Nanlaki ang mata ng lahat habang nakangiti naman yung lalaking nakatayo sa gitna. Unti-unting

Hindi agad ako nakasagot. I was surprised by his question. Sobrang random nito at hindi ko magets kung bakit niya ito tinanong sa akin."Bakit niyo po naitanong?" I asked, trying not to sound rude.Tumaas ang magkabila niyang balikat bago niya ako sinagot. "You seem close."Napa-ah nalang ako at tumango. "Okay lang na pag-usapan natin 'to?""Why not? Magkaibigan naman tayo, diba?" He asked.I nodded which he responded with a small smile."You like him?" He asked again.I bit my lower lip and nodded. "I have a small crush on him. I mean, it's not that serious--""Stop," putol niya sa akin.Kumunot ang aking noo. "Huh?""Stop feeling whatever you are feeling," he warned me."Bakit, Sir?""Hindi mo pa kilala si Kento. You just met him lately at nahulog ka na agad," he said."Kita ko naman na mabait siya. He's sweet, hardworking, and kind. Bonus na siguro yung pagkapogi at pagkamayaman niya," I replied. "What's not to like?""Basta. Tigilan mo na hanggang crush pa 'yang nararamdaman mo,"
Yes, No, Maybe Chapter 29
"Anong sabi mo? I'm your fiancé?" Timothee asked in the middle of me dragging him outside.Hindi ko siya pinansin kasi alam ko naman na lasing na siya. Sinigurado ko talaga na hindi siya magkakaroon ng sugat habang sumusingit sa mga tao. He's a model and I need to protect that. Nang makalabas na kami ay saka ko na siya binitawan."Magta-taxi nalang po tayo, sir. We can't wait for your driver. Baka dadagsa fans niyo," I said as I look around for a taxi."Fans? Who said I have fans?" He asked.I turned to him and caught him smiling playfully. Napairap nalang ako. Mas nagiging annoying siya na nakainom. Unfortunately, ako pa yung kasama niya ngayon. Malas talaga.Pumara na ako ng taxi at agad kong pinapasok si Timothee before anyone could recognize him. Buti nalang at masunurin siya. I sat beside him and told the driver Timothee's address."Bakit ikaw yung kasama ko?" Tanong niya sa akin. I face him and he's looking at me as if he's confused. "I'm your maid and I should be. Saka sabi m

The moment I stepped inside the Chandler's mansion, I directly did the chores that was waiting for me. Nagluto agad ako ng umagahan bago pa magising si Timothee. I know that he would wake up with a terrible headache kaya nagluto na din ako ng mainit na sabaw. Matapos kong magluto ay nagpaalam muna ako kay Manang Abby na ilalabas ko lang saglit si Pixie, yung aso ko."Ilalabas mo lang?" Nandududang tanong ni Manang."Ilalabas lang talaga, Manang. Ayoko namang magdudumi siya dito. Nakakahiya yun," sagot ko."Siguraduhin mo lang na 'yan yung pakay mo. Malalagot ka talaga kay Sir kapag nalaman niyang nakikipagkita sa lalaki," sabi niya.Kumunot yung noo ko.Ano daw? Makikipagkita sa lalaki? Sinong lalaki naman? And as if gagawin ko din yun! "Anong lalaki ba yung ibig niyong sabihin Manang?" Naguguluhan kong tanong."Rinig ko kasi nagkagusto sa'yo yung gardener sa kabilang bahay. Baka nagkadevelopan na kayo niyan," taas-kilay niyang sabi."Hindi ko nga kilala," iling ko. "Saka hindi ako

"I can't believe nandito ka pa rin. I thought Timothee got rid of you. Pero mukhang hindi niya iyon ginawa. Bakit kaya?" Taas-kilay niyang tanong.I crossed my arms under my breast and acted as if I'm also thinking. "Hmm. Common sense naman siguro yung sagot sa tanong mo," I paused. "I work here. My job is to serve Timothee. Now tell me, why would he want to get rid of me?""Kasi malandi ka. You want him for yourself because of his money. Hindi ba, hampas-lupa?" She insulted.I gasped. "Paano mo nalaman na ang habol ko sa kanya ay pera?""So you admit it! Pera lang talaga ang habol mo!" Tinuro-turo pa niya ako."Oh, Rosie. I thought you are smart," iling ko. "It's a no-brainer actually. Kaya nga ako nagt-trabaho, diba? For money. You disappoint me."Mas lalo siyang nagalit sa sinabi ko. 'Yan kasi. Kahit anu-ano nalang yung sinasabi na hindi naman nag-iisip. Napahiya tuloy."Sino ba 'yan?" I heard Timothee asked from behind.Lumingon ako sa kanya na nakakunot pa rin yung noo. I opened
Yes, No, Maybe Chapter 32
Matapos naming kumain ay tumakas na ako sa kanila. I can feel kasi na ayaw talaga akong makita ni Rosie. Ayaw ko din naman siyang makita kaya mutual lang feelings namin sa isa't-isa. It's not like I don't want to hang out with them, gusto ko lang talagang mag-bond silang tatlo. Gaya ng sabi ni Rosie, na-miss niya 'yung silang tatlo lang. Just because I don't like her doesn't mean I should invalidate her feelings."Huwag kang lalayo ha? After you're satisfied with a few runs bumalik ka agad," Sabi ko sa aso ko.She replied with a bark kaya agad ko nang pinakawalan siya sa tali. Alas singko na ng hapon at usually ganitong oras ko nilalabas si Pixie. Nasa parke kami malapit sa mansyon. May mga aso din kasing ginagala ng mga amo nila kaya pinabayaan kong makipaglaro siya sa kanila. I sat down on the bench and watched her played with other dogs."Hi," someone greeted.Tumingala ako and saw a man smiling. Moreno siya at sobrang ganda ng ngiti niya. He's wearing a white shirt and brown short
Yes, No, Maybe Chapter 33
"Akala ko ba manunuod tayo ng movie? Bakit umiinom na kayo?" Tanong ni Rosie sa dalawa.Suppose to be magluluto lang kami ng popcorn. Nag-aaway pa kasi silang dalawa kanina kung sino 'yung gagawa kaya nagpresenta ako na ako nalang. They even fought over kung sino ang tutulong sa akin but I insisted na kaya ko na. Ang dali lang kaya.As I was making popcorn, I heard the both of them bragging about their tolerance in alcohol. Paglingon ko sa kanila ay nagsimula na silang mag-one on one. Iba din 'yung trip nila."Don't worry. Makakapanuod pa naman tayo. I have high tolerance, remember?" Pagmayabang ni Timothee."Dahan-dahan ka sa pinagsasabi mo, Tim. Baka kakainin mo lang 'yan," Kento smirked."As if. Baka ikaw 'yun tinutukoy mo," Timothee fired back.Iinom na sana ulit si Timothee sa shot glass niya pero binawi na ito ni Rosie."Tama na nga 'yan! Ano bang pumasok sa mga kokote niyo?" Sita ni Rosie.Binawi ni Timothee 'yung shot glass mula sa kamay ni Rosie at diretsong nilagok."Manunuo
