Jai' POV

IMINULAT KO ang mga mata ko saka pinatay ang lampara. Muli akong napapikit nang may maisip. Fiancé huh?

I let out a deep breath, I won't let that thought to ruin my day. Tumayo ako at pagkatapos ng ilang pag-uunat ay nagdesisyon nang maligo.

I chose the plain carnation pink sando and black plaid shirt to wore. Isinuot ko ang isa pang black skirt ng maid's uniform ko at inipit doon ang sando na suot ko saka ko ibinuhol sa gitna ang plaid shirt na suot ko nang magmukhang hindi gaanong mahaba.

Nang makuntento sa itsura ay lumabas na ako ng kwarto. Saglit akong nangamba nang maisip na baka bawal magsuot ng ganito, pero naisip kong suot ko naman ang skirt na uniporme namin bilang maid kaya pupwede na din siguro.

I'm relieved when I saw the other maids. Nakanormal na t-shirt ang iba at kagaya ko ay suot din nila ang skirt namin. Bagay din naman siguro 'to sa kahit na anong damit pan-itaas, hindi din naman ito gaanong mahaba. So hindi pala gaanong istrikto ang mga rules dito kumpara sa mga nauna kong napasukan na trabaho.

Pagbaba ko ay isang napakapangit na tanawin ang agad kong nakita. My eyebrows furrowed as soon as I stepped inside the kitchen. Fiancé? Is that for real? So what are those kissing scenarios for? D.mn Drake!

I decided to make a juice for them, mas magandang magharutan sila nang may merienda. Dito kaya natulog ang babaeng 'yon? Sa kwarto ni Drake? Hey, it is not bad to feel jealous when you like someone!

I'm so foolish. Of all people, why did I let Drake to come near me? Nakakainis dahil hindi ko makontrol ang nararamdaman ko. Is it because I could sense that there's really something in him that made me like him in an instant? Hindi ko lang masiguro kung nakita ko na nga ba talaga noon ang kulay abo na mga mata niya.

Napalingon ako nang maramdaman kong may pumasok sa kusina. It was the little maid na nagturo sa'kin sa direction ng pool area. I glanced at her for a second and brought my attention back at what I'm doing.

"Inutusan ka ba ni Sir. Drake?" she asks after walking towards me. I nodded without looking at her. Hindi naman ako inutusan. I'm making this juice because I want to pour this over those ugly heads outside!

"Ah s-sige, ikaw na lang ang magserve. Babalik na ako sa pagdidilig ng halaman."

She smiled, based on my peripheral vision. I rolled my eyes after she went out. As if I care of what she's doing or will do. What's with the stuttering anyway? Maybe she find my silence awkward, good for her.

Inilagay ko sa tray ang dalawang baso at ang pitsel. I smirked and decided to walk towards their direction.

Agad akong nakaramdam ng inis nang maabutan silang nagpapaluan pa't nagtatawanan. Drake is laughing and the higad beside her is patting his chest playfully. The woman even whispered to Drake's ear. D.mn it.

Natawa ang pesteng lalaki at natigilan nang makita akong pinapatay na siya sa titig. How could he not tell me that he already has a fiancée? Edi sana, mas nagawa kong pigilan ang sarili ko sa kanya, but the h.ck, s'ya kaya itong nag-iinsist madalas– na pinapatulan ko naman, argh! What the hell is wrong with me?!

I proceeded to walk. Mistulang natahimik siya pero ang pesteng babae, patuloy pa rin sa pagdada.

Bakit ba ang init ng dugo ko sa babaeng 'to? Where in fact, she haven't done anything bad at me. Ang may mali ay ako. Ilang araw ko pa lang na nakasama ko ang boss ko, nahulog na ako kaagad.

But Drake commited a mistake, bigger than what I have done! How could he be a two-timer? How could he treat me as his fling, without me having an idea about it? Hell, he's such a b.stard and a pain in the as..

Thinking about that upsets me, it makes me angry. I expected more from his gorgeous face and body. I can't even deny the fact that he's also a gentleman sometimes. When he bought me clothes and told me that it's already not safe to go outside, I thought I could expect more good deed from him, but I got nothing but disappointment.

Isinalin ko sa mga baso nila ang juice na tinimpla ko, nang may marinig kaming ringtone na tumugtog. I stopped for a second but then I remembered that I must act like I don't care so I continued.

"Oh, my dad is calling. Excuse me, Drake Eiven."

Her voice is sweet, just like how she looks. She seems sweet and kind kung pupurihin ko. Bumagay sa kanya ang short black hair niya. Kamukha nga niya si Dora kung lalaitin ko. Jeez, I'm really mean to her.

"Yeah sure, Amixel."

Is that their endearment? Their names? And what is her name again? Amiksel?

Nang makalayo ang babae ay siya namang pagkaramdam ko ng isang pares ng mata na tumitig sa direksyon ko. Nang mapuno ang dalawang baso ay tumayo na ako, but to my luck,

"Jai."

"Sh.t, sorry!"

Pagharap ko ay ang saktong pagtayo naman niya, dahilan para aksidente kong maibuhos ang juice sa dibdib niya. What the– wait. He doesn't deserve the sorry!

Natigilan ako sa balak ko sanang pag-aalala. I cursed under my breath and decided to turn my back from him.

"I can explain," he said, causing me to stop my tracks.

I let out a deep breath. I badly want to hear his explanation but I know that nothing will change. He's still engage. I can't control myself when it comes to him but this time, I know better.

"You don't need to," I said firmly.

"Sorry about the call, it's about business and we both know that," his fianceè said. Now, Drake's attention isn't at my presence anymore.

Naglakad na ako papalayo doon nang hindi na marinig kung ano pa ang pag-uusapan nila. I gulped to ignored what I'm feeling. I feel ignored and vulnerable which I hate because this is so new to me, I am not used to this.

I hate to think that some of their topic will be about their wedding. I would like to interfere in their conversation if that's the case. To say that the woman doesn't deserve him and so am I. We don't deserve him. We deserve better, we shouldn't settle with a two-timer!

I'm still mad at him, but d.mn it, hindi ko alam kung paano maipaparamdam sa kanya 'yon lalo na't nagiging mahina ako kapag malapit sa kanya.

But then I realized, wala nga pala akong karapatan na magalit. He is just my boss and I'm just nothing but a maid in his mansion. I must keep that in mind but I can't. I hate to admit this but I know to myself that I keep failing. I know that I'll never succeed going away, far from him.
