Sophia's POV
"The girl doesn't exist!!"
Narinig kong sigaw sa sala ng bahay...
"I don't care if the girl is dead or alive, I want James to own the properties." - galit na sabi ng nanay ni Levi.
It seemed like nandito ang parents ni Levi at galit itong nag-uusap.
"Is Levi here?" - mahinang tanong ko sa kasambahay. Umiling naman ito.
Bakit sila nandito?
Huminga ako ng malalim at pumasok sa sala. I tried to make my voice cheerful as possible.
"Mr. and Mrs. Leonardo, you're here." - I said with a smile.
They stop arguing at tinitigan nila ako. Gusto ko nang makain sa lupa. Ayoko na.... I sat on the sofa opposite to theirs. For a few seconds walang nagsalita sa amin. I awkwardly look at them.
"You might want some refreshments... I'll get some for you." - aakmang tatayo na sana ako pero sumagot si abigail, Levi's mom.
"I ordered the Servant's a moment ago." - sabi niya, she crossed her arms. Umubo naman ang tatay ni Levi.
Anong meron ?
"Stop on what your trying to do." - naiiritang sabi ni Abigail.
I confusedly look at them.
"Don't stop Levi from looking for that girl." - she added.
I stop for a moment trying to process.
"I told you already, that she's not that type of girl." - David, Levi's dad defended me.
Levi's mom irritatingly looked at him and to me.
"I actually, didn't. I told Levi to find the girl." - I defended myself.
Parang ayaw talaga ng nanay ni Levi sa akin. Naiirita siya kapag nakikita niya ako.
"Told you." - David told Abigail with a smug on his face.
Huminga ng malalim si Mrs. Leonardo at umiling.
"Pinapahanap ko po kay Levi ngunit hindi po talaga mahanap." - sabi ko.
Nakikita ko ang pagkadismaya ng nanay ni Levi. Wala naman akong magawa kaya tahimik ko lang silang tinitingnan. Tumingin sa akin ang tatay ni Levi at tumingin sa gawi ng kanyang asawa.
" Oh ? Look at time, we have a meeting in 30 minutes, we must go. Thank you for your time, hija." - sabi ng tatay ni Levi habang pinapatayo ang kanyang asawa. Nginitian ko lang silang dalawa habang ang nanay ni Levi ay hindi nagsalita at naglakad para sundan ang tatay ni Levi palabas.
"Salamat at wala naaaa. "- I whispered.
Sa tuwing nag-uusap kami ng mga magulang ni Levi, Its very awkward para wala akong lugar sa puso nila, nakakalungkot. Nami-miss ko tuloy ang mga magulang ko.
I opened my new phone at nagmadaling tawagan si Mama.
" Ma!! " - maligayang bati ko.
"Anak! May Cellphone ka na?" - Mama.
"Opo, meron na po." - masayang sabi ko.
"Mabuti naman para nakaka-usap ka namin." - Sabi niya.
"Oo, nga po."-ako.
"Hindi ka ba uuwi ng pinas?" - mama.
Sa sitwasyon kong ito, mahirap talaga.
"Parang hindi pa po." - malungkot kong sabi.
"Sabihin mo lang pag-uuwi ka dito dahil magluluto ako ng masarap na pagkain." - mama.
"Sige po. I miss you Ma." - masayang sabi ko.
"I miss you anak. Bye na, May gagawin pa ako." - sabi niya ta pinatay ang tawag. Huminga ako ng malalim.
Nalulungkot na naman ako.
Someone knocked the door at pumasok si Mary.
"Young Lady Sophia. Master has arrived." - she said. I smiled to her and nodded. Nagbihis ako ng pambahay nang marinig ko na tumunog ang door knob ng kwarto.
Si Levi ata.
Napatingin ako at ngumiti.
"Welcome home, Darling." - sabi ko. Ngumiti naman ito at yumakap sa akin.
"I miss you." - he said tiredly.
"hmm, pagod na pagod ang Levi ko." - I said sweetly. He softly laughed.
"Really tired." - sabi niya. I nodded. Umupo ako sa kama at sumunod naman ito.
"Tumalikod ka, I'll massage you." - sabi ko. Hindi ito nagsalita at tumalikod. Mukhang pagod na pagod talaga siya.
While I was massaging him, he softly groaned and laughed.
"Galing mo mag-massage" - Levi.
"Talaga?" - tanong ko.
Salamat at tinuruan ako ni mama. Akala ko useless.
"Talaga."-sagot niya. I laughed.
"Humarap ka sa akin."- sabi ko. He did what I commanded. I smiled at him and began to massage his neck to his shoulders.
I didn't realize how close we are until I looked at him in the eyes and I feel this weird magnetic feeling. We keep staring at each other for seconds. I close my eyes and waited for him to kiss me....
But..........
No kiss took place.
I opened my eyes and saw him with his face down. I back up a little, confused.
"I'm sorry...." - tanging sabi ko.
He looked up at umiling.
"No, it's not your fault. You are beautiful, untouched. I want you clean on the wedding night." - sabi niya.
I stared in disbelief and smiled as I remembered the lines he said 6 years ago.
"𝐼 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑐𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑛 𝑜𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑤𝑒𝑑𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑛𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡" - ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑖𝑑 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑎 ℎ𝑢𝑠𝑘𝑦 𝑣𝑜𝑖𝑐𝑒.
Talagang gagawin nya ang pangako niya saakin.
"𝐼'𝑚 𝑔𝑜𝑛𝑛𝑎 𝑤𝑎𝑖𝑡 𝑖𝑛 𝐺𝑜𝑑'𝑠 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑆𝑜𝑝ℎ𝑖𝑎 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐼 ℎ𝑜𝑝𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑖𝑡𝑠 𝑔𝑜𝑛𝑛𝑎 𝑏𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑖'𝑚 𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ." - 𝑆𝑒𝑟𝑦𝑜𝑠𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝑠𝑎𝑏𝑖 𝑛𝑖 𝐿𝑒𝑣𝑖.
And this man warms my heart.
