Stuck En Strings (On-Going)

CHAPTER 4

Ako naman ay nag patangay lamang dito at pilit na pinag ka-kasya sa utak at iniintindi ang mga pangyayari. All I remember is that bastard are trying to harass me at ipilit na gusto ko sya, and I was about to defend myself by kicking his balls but then this expensive handsome stranger--- that must be the President Neves they feared, came out of nowhere and punched him for me. Then, he tell an implausible lines, throw him a cheque worth one hundred thousand and cancel their deal about business.

So technically he did save my ass? And if he's really the President Neves they gossips about, tangina... parang ang imposible naman.

Sya na ba talaga to?

"T-teka teka teka..." Napahinto ako sa pag lalakad at sa wakas ay nagawa ng bawiin ang aking braso at lingunin ito. That made him also stop from moving and met my gaze with skeptic look. Now we are at the middle of the hallway, staring each other.

"What? Does any part of your body got hurt? should I take you to the Hospital?" His deep tone changes in an instant.

Since I was too pre-occupied earlier fantasizing the scenario and describing only his attractive asset, I almost forgot to say that he's quite familiar--- not because I believe that he is really President Neves, sa totoo lang wala pa akong ideya ukol sa pag mumukha ng bagong presidente since his whole identity are still the town's issue, kaya kahit ako ay hindi makapaniwala. But this guy in front of... although he is wearing a formal attire such as black coat, plain white sweater and slacks at napakaayos tignan, I guess I met him somewhere.

Hindi lang talaga ma-digest ng utak ko ngayong araw.

"No I'm actually fine. Uh about sa narinig ko kanina, sorry if my question will offend you ha pero I just want to clarify if you are really President Neves of En- Neves Corporation? As in yung bagong President nila na humakot ng ilang libong achievements kahit hindi humaharap sa mga interviews, sariling magazine and even his own inauguration dahil insecure sa hitsura? Baka kasi namali lang ako ng dinig at kailangan ng mag patingin sa O-otorh-hinol--- sa doctor hehe." I asked and bite my lower lip to ease my frustration.

Tangina wala bang mas madaling term? baka sabihin ng kausap ko bobo naman ako masyado, well obviously, hindi lang naman ganda ang kaya kong ipakita noh.

He just clicked his tongue, tilted his head and carefully studied my expression by his dull, manipulative eyes.

It honestly sent shiver towards my spine. By only exchanging glances with him, it feels like I was crossing the bridge of hell. This might be the reason why that maniac almost collapsed in panic.

Dapat bang nanahimik nalang ako at nagpasalamat?

Napaatras ako at kusang napangiwi dahil sa naisip.

"I-if you're not comfortable enough to answer, huwag mo nalang sagutin. Uh just..." I trailed off. "Just introduce yourself hehe para mapasalamatan naman kita ng pormal."
