My brows furrowed.



Mabusisi kong hinalughog ang laman nitong muli at itinapat pa sa ilaw upang makita ng maayos, but still I can't find any cash.


Nag simula ng gumapang ang kaba sa aking dibdib at dumoble ang lamig na nararamdaman.


Then I suddenly remember, I left all of my credit cards at home so I used all of my cash instead---



Putangina... don't tell me, I used all of it just to buy my books!?



"Hala, ang tanga Catalina." Napahilot ako sa aking sintido at huminga ng malalim.

Paano ako makakauwi nito? I'm pretty sure na walang tao sa apartment tonight and last cash ko na yung pinang bili ko ng libro kanina. I can't pay him naman using my credit card at wala akong mababasag na alkansya sa bahay!


Shuta kase bili pa hige. Sabing makuntento na sa isa eh!



Damn this is a nerve wrecking situation! I need to find solution or this taxi might ended up tossing me inside the police station. If only I can borrow enough money from someone at papalitan ko nalang after ko mag widraw bukas----



Napatigil ako sa pag iisip at wala sa sariling napatingin muli sa aking katabi. Tulog pa rin ito at walang kibot.


Although he's a freaking unbothered sleepy head, he might have... extra money.



Yes, he have. Just borrow some Catalina and everything will be fine.



"Alright." huminga ako ng malalim at inalis ang lahat ng natitira kong pride sa katawan. Kahit anong mangyari kailangan kong makauwi at makabayad ng pamasahe. I still have an important meeting tomorrow so I can't afford to sleep inside the iron bars.


I slowly closed our gaps, maingat akong gumalaw at nanginginig ang kamay na kinalabit ang braso nito. I must thank the taxi driver because he only have dim lights, so no one can see how my cheeks redenned as hell right now.

"Uhm sorry to bother your sleep but do you have any extra cash? I spend all of my money earlier and forgot to spare for taxi fees. Promise hindi ako modus, babayaran ko agad bukas just tell me your number and I'll send it to---"



"Hmmm." Finally, after an hour of sleeping, his hand slowly move and get something inside his pocket. Nanatili pa ring nakaharang sa kanyang mga mata ang suot na cup, but I can tell na gising na ito at aware na nag e-exist ako.


"Here." Giit nito. Bakas na bakas ang paos niyang boses.


But what makes my jaw literally dropped is when he handed a ten thousand cash towards me, without any violent reaction and go back in his position earlier.


Tangina?? Joke ba'to.

"Pamasahe lang hinihingi ko Pre, hindi pang bayad ng kuryente." Bulalas ko at inilagay sa kanyang kandungan ang nine thousand pesos na sobra.



Alam ko namang hindi ako kasing yaman ni Kia, pero nakakinsulto ha.


Bahagya namang umangat ang ulo nito at inayos na ang pag kaka-upo.



"Should I give you my black card instead?" He plainly responded.

Natulala naman ako, naguguluhan siyang pinagmasdan.



"May sapak ka ba?" I blurted out.


"Your welcome."


He's a crazy rich sleepy head modafakuh.


"Huwag ka mag alala, I'll give it back in less than twenty four hours. I have a permanent job and wala akong modu---" hindi na nito pinatapos pa ang aking pag sasalita at walang pakialam na tinanggal ang cup sa kanyang ulo, making his black messy hair fall gently.


I blinked in surprise.


"Oh, there's no need for you to pay it back." He added.


Now I can finally see his damn face.... his damn handsome as hell angular face despite of the dim light we shared. Hindi ako pwedeng mag kamali, literal na Baddass greek god ang kaharap ko ngayon.



Tangina, hindi na ata tao ang kaharap ko.



"H-ha?" Napalunok ako ng tumagos ang titig nito. His intimidating charcoal eyes caught mine asnd despite of being drowsy, he manage to makes my heart suddenly rumbled.


Biglang nag ulap ang aking isipan.


He gently stared at me, studied my flustered face. It make my heart skipped a beat.



"Just marry me instead."
