" Fragrant of memories "
It was a chilled night nang lumabas ako sa main hall , niyakap ko ang sarili ko at tinulak ang pinto palabas , saktong humaplos ang lamig nang hangin sa balat ko kaya naman mas lalo kong hinigpitan ang yakap ko sa sarili ko ,
Paglabas ko ay huminto ako at tumingala sa langit, it was dark but beautiful, the stars are everywhere... the light from the moon is shining upon the sky .
Huminga ako nang malalim habang nakatingin sa langit ,
" Now that I'm here .. i feel like everyone, is ... lying to me. " Mahinang wika ko at inalala ang nangyari kanina sa loob ,
♡ ♡ ♡
" M-Mom!" Pasigaw na saway nang tatlong magkakapatid nang bigla nalang ako yakapin ni Queen Eliza , my eyes are wide open sa biglaang ginawa niya , it was like she missed me so much...
" Oh dear , Forgive my rudeness . " Paghingi niya nang paumanhin , agad akong umiling .
" It's alright .. " Im barely suprised to myself that i can still talk straight .
Pagkatapos nun umupo na kaming lahat sa mahabang lamesa, but me i just observed them .. sumusulyap sulyap ako kay Queen Eliza na parang wala lang yung ginawa niyang pag yakap saakin ..
And another thing is kanina pa ako tinitignan ni Prince Stephen at ni Bryan... there's something in there eyes na para bang gusto nila akong kausapin.
" Anyway , let's talk about Jax ! How was your career in Newyork?" Nagulat nalang ako nang bigla akong lingunin ni Queen Eliza at itanong ang mga bagay na yun ,
First i want to ask her kung paano niya nalaman ang career ko sa newyork but then hindi ko na tinuloy , it's a public matter anyway.
" My career is great , I've received a lot of offers for this year." Sagot ko sa kanila , tumango naman siya then she look at Bryan but Bryan didn't let his eyes off me ..
" So Jax .. do you have a , boyfriend? " Tanong niya ulit dahilan para lingunin na siya ni Bryan , nanlaki naman ang mata ko at nilingon isa isa ang pamilya ko na nakatingin din kay Queen Eliza ,
What's wrong with them ? Kung ako ang tatanungin they are not good at lying because i can definitely feel they're hiding something!
" I don't have My Queen , and im not planning to have one ." Nakangiting sagot ko , tumango saakin si Queen Eliza at tinignan si King Brooke na nakatingin lang sa kanya ,
While starring at them bigla nalang may humawak sa kamay ko kaya naman paglingon ko i saw Kuya Pao looking at me worriedly,
" What's wrong kuya ?" Tanong ko sa kanya ,
" Your medicines, where are your medicines? " tanong niya , my eyebrow lifted sa tanong niya , he checked my purse !! Why would he do that?
" It's in my room. ." I said firmly kahit na hindi pa naman ako pumupunta sa kwartong naka assign saakin ..
Tumango naman siya at binalik ang atensyon niya sa mga kausap niya ,
Why didn't i tell him na 3 days na akong hindi umiinom nang medicines ? I want to tell him but i get curious, first .. minadali nila ang pag alis ko noong nagising ako , second hindi na nila ako niyayang bumalik nang England , third when i meet Bryan i feel something strange .. it's like im happy to see him but yet it was pain, and i can't explain it! And this .. Queen Eliza acting all of the sudden like she knows me ..
At halatang halata kong hindi sila magaling magtago nang sekreto dahil sa mga inaakto nila ..
" Dear , is there something wrong? You haven't touch your food .." I breathe deeply nang hawakan ako ni Mommy , i look at her and smile ..
Even mum , i know she's hiding something, everyone here .. is hiding something.
" I'm fine mum , no need to worry .." Sagot ko at uminom nang wine , i think i need a fresh air .. masyado nang malalim lahat nang iniisip ko ..
" I will go outside for a minute .." paalam ko kay Mom na tinanguan lang ako , i know she's worried...
Pagkasabi ko nun tumayo na ako and excuse myself , nahalata ko rin yung iba na gusto pa atang magtanong kung saan ako pupunta pero binilisan ko nalang ang paglalakad at umalis na sa main hall.
♡ ♡ ♡
So here i am , taking a fresh air .. i wonder what really happened from my past, i can't recall the full details , i can only see a fragrant of my memories ..
Hindi ko man maibalik ang ala ala ko i can still feel it , gaya nang nararamdaman ko kay Bryan , the happiness but painful feelings .
" Ohh... i didn't know someone is here --" Bigla nalang akong napalingon nang may biglang magsalita sa gilid ko and then i saw a guy with dirty blonde hair with a beautiful gray eyes , nanlaki ang mata ko while looking at him ..
He's beautiful.
" Oh , I'm just out here for fresh air .." Sabi ko at akmang aalis na dahil nakita ko siyang may hawak na sigarilyo , baka maninigarilyo kaya andito sa labas ,
Tumalikod na ako nang gawi at akmang babalik na sa loob nang may bigla nalang humawak sa kamay ko ,
" Woah ... Acting like we haven't meet ?" Sarcastic na sabi niya , nagsalubong naman ang kilay ko at nilingon siya ,
What did he say ?
" I'm sorry what ?" Tanong ko , he chuckled and let go of my hand kaya naman humarap ako sa kanya ,
" Kamusta kana ? It's been year eh ? I haven't seen you after our first meet.." sabi niya at tumingala sa langit , is this guy really talking to me o baka hindi naman ako yung kausap niya?
" Do i know you?" Takang tanong ko dahilan para mas lalo siyang matawa , umiling siya at humithit nang sigarilyo niya , oh how i hate the smell of cigarettes!
" Hindi kita masisisi , it's been two years! I know mas pumogi ako!" Mayabang na sabi niya , ugrh! I don't have time for this pero he can speak tagalog .. and he knows me ,
" I'm sorry but i need to go!" Sabi ko ulit at akmang aalis na pero he said something that caught my attention,
" Anyway Jax , I'm disappointed na hindi mo ko kinuhang tito !" Sabi niya kaya naman napaawang ako nang labi at nilingon ulit siya ! What the crap ? Tito ? Nino ? Nang anak ba ni Jas ?
" Just what on earth are you talking about? I don't even know you!" I said wryly. Lumingon siya saakin na may pagtataka sa mga mata niya then he look at me down, napaiwas naman ako at tinakpan ang sarili ko ,
Is this guy a pervert ?
" Should i be the one asking you what on earth are you saying ? " Pabalik na tanong niya , urgh!
" I don't have time for this!--" pasigaw na sagot ko pero nagulat nalang ako nang tinutok niya yung daliri niya sa tyan ko ,
I was stunned. .
" Hmm .. nanganak ka ba talaga ? Bakit ang sexy mo parin ?" Tanong niya .. nanlaki nang todo ang mata ko ,
N-Nanganak .. ?
A-Ako ?
" What are y-you talking about. .." I said with a shaking tone ..
" You know , noong hinila kita papunta mismo dito last .. hmm 2 years ago na kasi diba ? Then your husband follow us and he even tell me to stay away because your pregnant .."
M-My h-husband ...?
