Her Greatest Downfall

Chapter 31: Manila home

"Really?" I asks

"Yeah. Ayoko lang makarinig tungkol kay Crein. Nagseselos kasi ako. Ang dami mong sinacrifice para sakanya." He said

"Gusto mo din bang mag-sacrifice ako para sayo?" I ask.

"No. I'll be the one who'll gonna sacrifice here. I love you, Ace. " he said and just like that my heart was beating so fast now.

"W-What?" I ask in disbelief. His I love you is just like my favorite music. Except that it was my favorite, it also makes my mind calm as well as my heart.

"Di ko na uulitin. Now, sleep so that you can rest." He said and he tap his shoulder like he was saying that I can put my head on his shoulder.

"Ayoko ng matigas ang ulo. Come on, sleep well ." He said with full of authority.

And I did rest my head on his shoulder. He held my hand and because of his gestures, I am stiff here and all I could think is him. Gosh, what kind of spell did he do?

"Isa pa please. Say it again." I beg

"No. Sinabi ko na kanina. Magpahinga ka na para may lakas ka bukas." He said.

I nod and close my eyes but my eyes immidiately open when he speak those three magical words.

"I love you." He said. "I'd say it again. Di kita matiis, sleep ka na." He said and he pat my head

"I love you too." I said and smile.

Kinikilig ako sa kanya. Daig ko pa ang teenager na napansin ng crush nya. His simple words make me blush and I loved it

"HEY, wake up." I was awaken when I feel his hand caressing my cheek and when I heard his angelic voice.

How could he be this cool and cute in this state?

Umayos ako ng upo at saka tuminggin sa paligid.

"Ma'am!" I saw Hector, dad's driver.
He was waving his hand while running towards our place.

"Bumaba na tayo." Ram said and we both walk out from the bus.

"Hi, sir Hector." I greeted him.

He was shyly smile "Hector nalang ma'am." He keep saying that whenever I called him sir.

Well for me, calling him sir wasn't a big deal at all. He deserves to give a high respect eventhough he's only a driver. As long as he was working a descent job, it's all worth it to call him sir.

"Kamusta sina Mom at Daddy? Sir Hector?" I ask as we walk towards the car he was driving.

Ram open the back seat door for me to enter. I smiled at him and he also smile at me. "Okay naman ma'am. Sa huling survey na naganap mas lamang si Sir Ashton sa votes e." He said and I am happy for it.

"Kailan po ba ang botohan?" I asks.

"Hindi pa po tiyak ma'am. Pero sa susunod na dalawang linggo po." He answered.

I nod. "Okay." I answered.

Nilabas ko ang maliit na salamin sa bag na dala ko at saka naglagay ng make-up at lipstick. I saw Ram looking at me, I saw him on the mirror that I was holding. His eyebrows were almost converge, I wanna burst in laughed. Siniko ko sya at nagsalita. "Bakit?"

Umiling ito at saka itinuon ang paninggin sa bintana.

Mabilis akong bumaba ng sasakyan ng oras na makarating kami sa mansyon. Mom and Dad were waiting outside. I immidiately run on their direction

"Mom! Dad!" I called them. I missed them so much. Well, five months was enough for me to missed them.

"Oh my sweetheart. I missed you." Mom hug me with a teary eye.
