Chapter 20
PARIS after a month.
"Im done, thanks for the food" nilapag ko na yung utensil and inom ng tubig.
"Mia! ang konti lang ng kinain mo! O_O! here have more bowl of rice!" akmang kukuhanan pa ako ng rice ni Arvin.
"No! okay na ako! sige pasok na ako"
"What hindi tayo sabay?"
After kasi ng pumunta kami ay mag kasama na kami ni Arvin sa iisang bahay, it was provided from the school pero dahil hindi ako nag confirm sa acceptance ko ay hindi na sila naka pag reserved ng room para sakin so for this semester ay kay Arvin ako nakatira. Halos sabay na kami lagi na pasok at nauwi.
"M-mag lalakad ako today. See yah!" nag mamadali akong lumabas ng bahay.
Ayokong malaman ni Arvin na nag dadiet ako. Im planning to eat once a day lang and mag lalakad ako araw araw. Mag papapayat talaga ako! I neeed to lose weight fast. And knowing Arvin magagalit yun dahil its not healthy diet. After ng pumunta kami dito ay lagi ng over protective si Arvin. Thats why he cant know!
As soon as natapos ang class at start na ng lunch break ay sumalubong sakin si Josh, Classmate ko sa isa sa class ko.
"Bonjuor! Mia Belle~ Do you want to eat lunch with me?"
"Sure! Ill treat you ^__^"
We headed to cafeteria, and i ordered for him.
"Here you go Josh! ^_^ "
"M-Mia Belle? D-dont tell me this all you ordered? -__-"
"Ohhohoho~ Go ahead dig in!"
"Mia this is water!"
"Oh silly, biscuit and water! biscuit is yours and the water is mine ^__^"
If I dont eat I'll lose weight!!
"Oh is that so -__- er... thanks for the meal..T_T"
Mamaya mag lalakad ulit ako. Ill sweat it all out.
Then tommorow mag eexercise ako.
Pag ako Pumayat Humanda kayo!!!
Next morning. Is same routine. I didnt eat breakfast and had only took water.
For 5 days. I survive. Drinking only water. Pero nang chineck ko ang weight ko.
It was still the same. I didnt lose any.
No way...
Gusto kong maiyak. Nahihilo na ako at gutom na gutom.
Mag pa lhypo nalang kaya ako?
I cant take this...
Umuwi ako ng nahihilo at gutom. Not have much stregth left.
Im so hungry.
Hungry!
gusto ko ng kanin
hamburger
salmon
grilled cheese
macaroni..
waahh ang bango ng bahay amoy ng bahay...
Kahit today lang kakain ako. I really want to eat...
"Welcome home Mia! nag handa ako ng food kain tayo?" salubong sakin ni Arvin habang nag hahanda sa lamesa.
I sat down and eat as much as I can. Im starving!!
"Thats good your finally eating..."
"Nakain naman talaga ak-blurg~!" napatayo ako bigla at tumakbo pa punta sa sink. Bumabaliktad yung sikmura ko ang sakit ng abdomen ko at sinuka ko lahat ng kinain ko. Parang sinusunog yung tyan ko, napaluha ako sa sakit.
"M-Mia! here drink this come on!" inabotan ako ni Arvin ng warm tea na may herbs after kong masuka lahat ng kinain ko.
Anong nangyayari? bakit ayaw tanggapin ng katawan ko yung pag kain?
Nahihinang humiga ako sa sahig. Am I dying?
I cant help myself but cry. I hate this. I hate you Lance.
"Mia stop dieting like this!!"
Napatigil ako. What did he say? I looked at him, nakaupo sya sa tabi ko and used his lap to put my head to rest on.
"You knew?"
"Alam ko from the start Mia. I just dont know how to stop you. Hindi ka naman makikinig sakin. But please Mia. Dont try to lose weight this way! ill help you. Ill help you in much much healthy way so please stop this!"
I couldnt help but cry. I want to die. This is embarrasing.
"Mia. I dont know why you want to lose weight. Cant you just be you?"
"ME? just be me? Cant you see?! " i bit my lower lip. I lost all my confidence regarding myself.
"I can see it Mia. Your doing it because of him!! Why cant you just move on and forget about him! Ako naman Mia! Bata palang ako for as long as I can remember I already like you for who you are! "
I was shock. Hindi ko maintindihan ang pinag sasabi ni Arvin. Joke ba to?
"Mia. Ako nalang please. You dont have to lose weight and change. Wether your thin, fat or whatever! its all okay! with me all you need is to be happy. Ang gusto ko lang maging masaya ka!"
Oh God... Why? why is it na ngayon nya lang sinasabi lahat ng to?
*********************************
(After a year)
"M-mia?" I felt my heart skipped a beat. Till now naaapektuhan parin ako kahit boses lang nya.
Pero sa tuwing nararamdaman ko to with the memories we shared, the same time din na nararamdaman ko lahat ng sakit.
I hate you Lance.
And ill forever hate you.
There's a thin line between love and hate Mia, how i wish na sana you will just forget about him.
Biglang naalala ko ang sinabi ni Arvin.
""Erich. Call me Erich, afterall Erich is my first name. Besides Mia sounds so fragile, parang mabilis maloko, so please dont call me that, naiinis ako pakinggan"
Im sorry Arvin but what he did wasn't that easy to forget.
"Erich?" He smirked "Whatever you say Majinbu"
Nairita ako i really hate that name! He calls me that cause im fat but im not anymore! So why would he call me that again!
Keep your cool, kundi talo ka.
"I don't know kung bingi kaba but like I said Erich." I cant help but glare at him. Nakakainis!
"Ehem, well since nag meet naman na kayo id like for you to tour Mi- Erich dito specially yung available room specially sa mga talents natin" pag e-interrupt ni Terrence
"Sure follow me ERICH "pag e-emphasize nya pa sa pangalan ko.
Kaylangan ba sya ang mag tour?
I so want to say that but Terrence already told me he has next meeting bago pa kami pumunta sa agency office.
"No its okay, i think ill manage, i don't need a tour" not when im with you.
"Oh? Whats this? Not comfortable? But I insist. After all its been two years since nawala ka at sumama ka sa iba. I think we should catch up"
Sumama sa iba?
"Fine, youre right it is been two years since niloko mo ko"
He stopped. While we were in the middle of hallway
"Ikaw? Niloko? *smirk I think we both know who has the bigger knowledge for that." Madiin na sabi nya
Wow sya pa talaga ang galit! Wtf!
"Ano bang pinag sasabi mo-"
"Excuse me sir, Ms. Rina is at the entrance making a commotion" singit ng guard sa building
"Rina?" Sambit ko.
"Lets go." Hindi nya ako pinansin at nag mamadali namang sumama sa guard. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero sumunod din ako sakanila.
"Asan si Elijah! call him down call him down!!!!" sigaw ng nag e-eskandalong babae sa harap ng main door. Nakaupo ito sa sahig at mukhang nag papadyak kanina dahil kalat kalat yung sapatos nya at gamit sa sahig. She looks so familiar.
"RIna.." mahina pero sapat na para marinig ito ng babae. Napatigil ito ng makita si Lance.
"E-eli.." she looked nervous nakatalikod sakin si Lance kaya hindi ko makita ang mukha nya. But when he picked her up from the floor carrying her. And hugged his neck para isubsub yung mukha niya sa leeg ni Lance ay nakaramdam ako ng inis.
Pinasa nya yung babae sa body guard nito. Carrying her like a damn princess. "Shes drunk, put her sa penthouse sa taas and let her rest there, make sure din na walang mga reporters na nakakuha nito, and also the employees check if any of them took video"
"No, Eli I dont want him to carry me!" pag mamaktol nito. Oh God why did I even follow ? ugh. Makaalis na nga! I started walking away from the scene.
"No. AND YOU. WILL. LISTEN." he said firmly.
Hindi ko na sya nilingon pa, I think I need to go home.
Pero hindi pa ako nakakalayo ay naramdaman ko na ang mahigpit na hawak sakin ni Lance parang kinaladkad ako papunta sa isang corridor na mukhang walang masyadong tao.
It was just me and him, and pinned me on the wall, using his both arms to corner me.
"Now then, what were you going to say kanina? Na kung anong pinag sasabi ko? I was expecting you would atleast recognize your mistake but to think kinalimutan mo pa? acting as if wala kang ginawa. " He was lookinf at me firm with anger in his face, mag kalapit ang mukha namin at to this thin distance naamoy ko ang alak sa hininga nya.
But I didnt budge. What the hell is he talking about?! Acting as if sya ang victim.
"Mr. Cervantes, wala talaga akong ginawa. Kaya wala akong e-rerecognize na kasalanan ko, what is this some kind of game to turn the table on me? Shouldnt you be happy dahil hindi ko na inuungkat ang mga pinagagawa mo? YOU. FOOLED ME. and never again I would believed anyhting that comes out of your mouth. You filthy liar! who can manipulate ANYONE. Ang galing mo nga eh, napaniwala mo ko! to your make believe love. I know everything. But I wont dare waste my energy trying to make you remember, dahil sa bandang huli we are nothing more than a maid and the son of the person my family worked for. " I took a deep breath kinakalma ang galit ko.
Hes expressions didnt change. And stayed the same position.
he smirked. " A maid, and the son of the family you worked for.." yumuko sya at napapailing na parang natatawa sa sinabi ko.
Is that allhe heard after all that speech? "Youre drunk." nasambit ko.
*BOGSH!
Nagulat ako when he punched the wall with his right bare hands. And before I could react sa ginawa nya ay kinulong nya na ang mga pisngi ko gamit ang mga kamay nya and give me a rough kiss.
Lalo akong natigilan and opened my eyes widely to what he is doing to me.
I tried to push him but he was so strong, Lalo syang tumangkad, his chest that was this before was so broad. Ang liit ko sa mga bisig nya.
He tried to put his tounge. He was kissing me roughly at madiin,
Kahit na natitikman ko na ang dugo sa labi nya he still continue what he was doing.
When he finally let go of me, leaving me speechless, he gave me a bitter look.
"A maid and the son of your family worked for huh? I dont remember my girlfriend having the same taste of those kisses to a maid such as you. "
I couldnt say anything. Ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko.
Tumayo na sya ng maayos at inayos ang damit nya.
"Dont be late sa grand party tommorow evening, you are the new recruit talents after all, so you have to attend." tumalikod na sya and left me.
I bit my lower lip, fustrated.
After all that suffering MIa. Apektado ka pa rin sakanya.

Later :)
