LOVE-NAT, isang makulit na love story! ♥ [ 1 of 2 ]

Chapter 41-1. Stupid Cupid!

Eleonor Malicsi Dimaculangan

The water was warm and riveting. I let it tickled my skin for a little while. Sa totoo lang, I love taking showers, lalo na kapag ganito ba naman kagara ang banyo… Taking showers never failed to give me the soothing feeling I need. Pakiramdam ko kasi, kasama ng pag-agos ng tubig yung mga prublemang bumabagabag sa isip ko. These thoughts will go with the water at dire-diretsong mafa-flush.

Pero sana… sana ganun lang talaga kadali ang lahat… I let out one deep breath. I opened the sliding door and grabbed the towel and quickly get dressed. Papalabas na sana ko when I suddenly noticed my reflection against the bathroom mirror.

You’re not good enough for Josef. And, sweety… you NEVER will be.

I painfully looked away. Parang nate-tempt nga akong basagin yung salamin ee. Gusto ko ulit bumalik sa pagsha-shower para ma-flush na lang ulit lahat toh. Ano ka ba naman Ellie? Baka mamaya maging serena ka na sa kakaligo mo!!

GGGGRRRRrrrrr… Punyemas Eleonor Malicsi Dimaculangan!! Ano bang prublema mo?? Bakit ka ba sobrang apektado?? SO WHAT KUNG TOTOO? SO WHAT?? 

I angrily grabbed the door, kainis… UUWI NA NGA LANG AKO!!

I walked in the long empty hallway. Not a sign of Sef. Magpapaalam pa ba ko sa loko-lokong yun? And I thought, wag na lang… Mas okay ng galit siya sakin, mas okay ng… ganito ang ending.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There’s a right or wrong to know for everything
And the truth is somewhere written in between
But there’s always something missing in the dark
There you’ll find the true condition of the heart

Sometimes, life can really take us by surprise. Yung parang kapag nanonood ka ng TV, you thought you already know the ending… pero yun pala… the ending you’re anticipating wasn’t even close to what actually happened…

Parang ganito…

Eleonor Malicsi Dimaculangan glued her eyes outside the window, trying with all her might to ignore the presence of the handsome young man na siyang may hawak-hawak ng manibela. Oh, yes, ladies & gentlemen, hindi kayo nagkakamali… It was Miguel Josef Uy Monteverde who was driving Ellie home. Yeah, don’t worry… kahit si Ellie, akala driver maghahatid sakanya…

Well, generally speaking, yung driver naman talaga dapat ee… Pag-sakay ni Ellie sa kotse na naghihintay sakanya paglabas niya ng mansyon, sabi niya sa inaakala niyang driver. “Uh, Kuya pa-Maynila po–” Hindi pa man siya tapos magsalita, at hindi pa man din niya naisasara ng maayos ang pintuan, kumaripas na ng takbo yung sasakyan. At kabadong napakapit na lang sa kanyang upuan ang dalaga… until she noticed on the side mirror na merong mamang pilit silang hinahabol. Kumakaway ito as though desperately begging for them to stop. Pero wala na itong nagawa lalo na’t nakalabas na sila ng gate.

‘Ano toh, kidnapping?’

It was when she looked nervously at the guy driving next to her… she was prepared to jump off the vehicle…Kaso lang parang tumigil ang mundo ni Ellie… It was her heart that actually made a leap when she saw Miguel Josef Uy Monteverde… he still has a serious frown on his face at naka-focus lang ito sa kalsada.

‘Kaya pala mabango…’

Napa-upo na lang ng maayos si Ellie at tumingin na lang siya sa labas ng bintana, trying to ignore the strong presence of Sef…
