Chapter 39

Iraia's POV

Dux's words kept echoing inside my head. Kahit anong gawin ko, hindi ko maalala kung ano 'yung sinasabi niyang hinabol ko siya.

I remembered when I saw a guy chasing after me past years ago nung nasa airport kami. I was still on the process of recovering my amnesia and was about to fly at Los Angeles pero may isang lalaking humabol at nagmaka awa na wag daw ako umalis.

"Urgh!" I groaned and rolled over the bed nang walang ni isang ala ala na pumasok sa utak ko tungkol kay Dux.

Sinubukan ko na alalahanin ulit hanggang sa nakatulog ako.

Bakit pakiramdam ko may nakatitig sa akin?

Iminulat ko ang mata ko at laking gulat nang makitang nakatitig ng mariin si Dux sa akin.

What the hell is he doing inside my room?!

Mabilis akong bumangon at malakas siyang sinampal.

"Shit." he groaned as he touched his face. Kung saan ko siya sinampal.

"Bakit ka pumapasok ng walang pahintulot?! Natutulog ako tas pumapasok kalang?! Paano kung manyakin mo'ko?!" I panicked.

He looked at me in disbelief bago napabuntong hininga.

"I was knocking on your door tapos binuksan ni Yvonne ang pinto. Sabi niya natutulog ka pa daw. Aalis na sana ako nang hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at dinala dito sa kwarto mo. She said na gisingin ka daw." paliwanag niya habang nakahawak padin sa pisngi. Napansin ko din ang pamumula nito.

"At pumayag ka lang sa gusto niya?!"

So kapag sinabi ni Yvonne na tumalon siya sa kusina at basagin ang mga plato gagawin niya?!

"H-hindi ah! I tried protesting pero sinarado niya agad ang pinto." aniya.

Mabilis akong tumayo sa higaan ko at masama siyang tinignan.

Mukhang nagulat siya sa ginagawa ko dahilan para mapa atras siya ng kaunti. Napaiwas siya ng tingin at nahuli ko na napalunok.

"What?" masungit na tanong ko.

He looked back at me before smirking.

"You have big nice boobs by the way." nakangising sabi niya at dumako ang tingin niya sa dibdib ko.

I glanced at it only to realize I took off my bra last night. Napasinghap ako bago malakas na sinipa ang ano niya sa baba.

"Fuck." he winced in pain.

"Manyak!" I yelled at his face before running to my walk in closet.

"Tangina baka hindi tayo magka anak Iraia! Sinasabi ko sa'yo!" pahabol na sigaw niya.

"As if mag papaanak ako sayo!" sigaw ko pabalik.

"Then I'll make you." he seriously said.

I just rolled my eyes at him and choose what to wear. I decided to go on a sleeveless baby pink dress with floral details and white dior sandals.

Paglabas ko nakita ko si Dux na nakaupo sa dulo ng kama habang nakatitig sa sahig. Tumikhim ako dahilan para mapabaling ang kanyang tingin sa akin. Tinignan niya ako mula ulo hanggang paa, scanning my outfit. 

"You look g-" napatigil siya nang biglang pumasok si Yvonne at niyakap ako.

"Mami you're so pretty po! Dress up Yvonne na po?" she asked as I nodded. 

Nilagpasan namin si Dux na nakatunganga at nakatingin ng masama kay Yvonne.

"Mang-aagaw." mahinang bulong niya.

I dressed up Yvonne with a white summer dress and a white ribbon. She loves it. 

We just roamed around the hotel with Dux behind us, following every steps we make.

Amaris was busy on something since she had a tight schedule kaya nauna ng umuwi habang si Athalia ay may kadate daw. Anastasia... well maybe she's tired from last night... you know.... their honeymoon.

"So where do you plan to go?" pangungulit ni Dux sa amin.

"Sa-"

"Iraia!"

Napatigil ako sa pagsasalita ng biglang may tumawag sa pangalan ko.

Napalingon ako kung saan nanggaling ang boses at nanlaking mata ng makita ang isang bulto ng lalaki na naglalakad palapit sa amin.

"Caleb!" I excitedly called him.

"Hi! It's been years already since we last met. Kumusta?" he said giving me a hug.

"Well, life lately is getting better. Living like a dream, I guess." natatawang sambit ko na ikina iling niya.

We broke the hug at mukhang natigilan siya ng makita kung sino ang nasa tabi ko.

"Oh... this is Dux. My friend." pagpapakilala ko.

He's my friend right? I didn't remember him yet in any of my memories so I assume that he's my friend.

Caleb looked at me meaningfully and gazes back to Dux. Tila naguusap sila gamit ang tingin.

"Hi tito Caleb!" Yvonne greeted him and gave Caleb a hug. He knelt down to reach Yvonne's hug.

"And my princess, Yvonne! How are you my baby?" paglambing sa kanya ni Caleb na ikinahagikhik ni Yvonne.

"I'm fine lang po!" she giggled while pinching Caleb's cheeks.

He gave Yvonne light kisses on her forehead before looking up to me.

"Where's tita Athalia po?" biglaang tanong ni Yvonne na naglatigil sa amin.

Nagkatinginan kami ni Caleb bago siya napalunok.

Tumikhim si Caleb bago ngumiti sa akin. He smiled at Yvonne before giving her a small gift.

Her eyes widened and she cutely hugged Caleb. "Thank you po!"

"You're welcome honey. I'll get going. May pupuntahan pa kasi ako eh." he wincked at me and I immediately got what he ment.

He's about to see someone.

Napahagikhik ako sa isipan ko.

"Good luck!" natatawang saad ko at binigyan siya ng thumbs up. He chuckled before waving his hands and walking away.

"Friends? Seriously?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Dux. Tila iritado.

"Huh?" naguguluhang tanong ko.

He just rolled his eyes and stomped his feet like a child throwing a tantrum. 

Anyare 'dun?
