August's POV

"Pwede ba wag mo ako tingnan ng ganyan. Para kang abnormal." Sita ko kay Misha dahil kung makatingin ito sakin eh akala mo may malaking utang ako sa kanya.

"Ano ba ang masama sa tingin ko? I am just eyeing you dahil sa natuklasan ko. Jusko August, ang gwapo ni Draco! Ni hindi mo man lang sinabi na ganito na pala status niyo. May sharing of the room na kayong dalawa— aray, grabe ka napaka bayolente mo." Saad nito na sabay reklamo dahil sinabunutan ko ito. Paano ba naman kasi akala mo hindi ito naririnig eh alam ko na rinig na rinig ito ni Cayden, kahit nagpapanggap pa itong parang walang narinig.

"Tumigil ka nga dyan. At tsaka yang imagination mo kontrolin mo, kung anu-ano iniisip mo." Sita ko ulit rito.

Ngayon ay inaayusan ako ng buhok. Kasama pala ni Misha kanina ang mga mag-aayos sakin na hindi ako na-inform na may ganito pala silang balak. Sigurado ako na sinadyang hindi nila sinabi sakin yun.

"Teka grabe ka naman. Alam mo naman na sa panahon ngayon, hindi na big deal ang ganyan tsaka, nasa tamang edad ka na. Ano gusto mo? Yung trienta ka na?" Saad pa nito sakin at nasapak ko na naman ito.

"Hoy Misha, pag di ka tumigil tatawagan ko talaga si Lucas at sisiraan kita sa kanya." Pananakot ko pa rito. Though wala akong balita doon pero alam ko na kahit minsan ay naging crush ni Misha si Lucas.

Biglang namula si Misha at napataas naman ang aking kilay. What the heck is the meaning of her blushing? Talagang parang totoo yung gaga.

"Grabe ka naman ang harsh mo. W-wag mo idamay yung tao dito." Sagot pa nito sa akin.

Wala akong makitang dahilan bakit mamumula ito. As in wala talaga. Ni hindi ko nga alam kung nasaan si Lucas. Kung nasa pilipinas pa ba o nasa america. As in, walang balita. Parang biglang naglaho ito sa earth.

"Oh eh ano yang pablush blush mo dyan? Naku Misha ah, tigil tigilan mo ako." Saad ko pa rito at humarap na ako sa salamin. Naging maayos na ang buhok ko, kahit malayo ito sa taste ko. Masyadong pambabae.

May nilagay pa silang parang metallic fleur na pumalibot sa ulo ko. The thick strands are cascading my sides and back. Inayos naman nila ang make up ko ngayon, it was not that heavy at mabuti naman at hindi ako mamumukhang clown. It was a nude make up. Now the gown was exposed and they let me wear it at medyo nahirapan pa ako kung paano ito suotin. Pero tinulungan naman nila ako. The gown is stunning.

Isa itong off shoulder na may heart shape neckline with sheer layers of fabric and glitter are visible on them. It's beautiful.

"Oh my god, this is so perfect madam! Bagay na bagay sa inyo ang gown! It was like it was made for you!" Tili naman ng bakla na nag-aayos sa akin.

Hindi ako nakapagbigay ng reaksyon dahil kahit ako ay natutulala din sa damit na suot ko. It's just too beautiful.

"This come with these." Saad naman ni Misha na may kinuha din na dalawang box. Isang shoe box at isang medyo maliit na box. Binuksan niya ang shoe box at tumambad sa aking mga mata ang isang sapatos.

May nakatatak dito na louboutin and I am not quite sure if that is english. I heard about this brand and this is one of those too expensive brands of shoes like Prada, Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik and etc. Isinuot ko na ang killer heels na ito and somehow it feels comfortable. Malambot ang talampakan nito but still I know no matter how expensive is the shoes, alam kong mamamaltos pa rin ako nito later on. That's a sad reality with shoes.

Binuksan naman ni Misha ang isang kahon at tumambad sa akin ang isang diamond studded necklace na akala mo galit na galit sa diamonds.

Isinuot sakin ni Misha yun at pinarisan na rin ng hikaw. Hindi na ako naglagay ng kung ano man mga accessories sa aking kamay dahil magiging sobra na yun.

"Oh my god bes, ang ganda ganda mo sobra! Mahihiya artista sayo bes!" Emotional na saad naman nito sa akin at napapatakip pa ito sa bibig at mukhang hindi makapaniwala. "Kanina pa ako nagpipigil eh pero di ko na talaga kinaya. Ang hirap umakto na cool lang."

"Hahaha... Pinaghirapan niyo to kaya malamang maganda ang resulta." Sagot ko naman sa kanila and with one last glance at tumalikod na ako sa salamin but Misha sprayed a perfume which is Chanel number 5.

A/N: It cost $300.00 ladies. A very expensive perfume.

Naglakad na ako palabas sa room at agad naman na nakita ko si Cayden na busy sa kanyang laptop at parang may kausap ito gamit ang bluetooth headset. Pero natigil ito sa kanyang ginagawa ng mapansin niya ako.

His eyes raked from head to toe. I guess, this is the first time he saw me dressed with frills and ribbons. And I can see the admiration in his eyes at napatayo ito at naglakad ito patungo sa akin.

"You're very beautiful love....... Seeing you like this, I hate the thought that everyone will see you like this. I wanted to keep you for myself......and for my eyes only." Saad ni Cayden and his voice was masked with endearing tone that will melt everyone's joints.

"T-thank you..." Tanging naisagot ko. Pucha, hindi ko alam paano magreak. Kung si Misha ang kausap ko malamang nagyabang na ako pero si Cayden to eh, pagdating sa kanya, nawawala ako sa sarili ko.

"And I can't believe that this beautiful woman, standing in-front of me.....belongs to me. I may be not the best man in the world, but I will give you all my best to make you happy." Saad nito sa akin at muntikan na akong umiyak ng biglang sumingit naman si Misha na patakbo pa talaga with matching pumagitna pa sa aming dalawa.

"Heeeeeeeppppp! Don't destroy our creation Sir Draco! Oh my god, wag kang iiyak! Don't you dare!" Banta pa nito sa akin kaya sinamaan ko pa ito ng tingin. Paano pa ako iiyak eh nabadtrip na ako sa kanya.

"I'll go and you should be back to your post." Utos ko dito kay Misha. Mukhang nakalimutan na kasi nito na siya ang responsable sa mga monitoring.

"They are in auto-run... so don't worry but I am going there as well." Saad naman nito.

Bigla na lang tumunog ang aking cellphone kaya napatingin ako doon. Unknown number calling. Who the heck would call me? Pero may isang taong pwedeng tumawag sa akin kaya sinagot ko na ito.

"Hello?" Bungad ko.

"Hi! This is Nate. I'm sorry for calling you without a notice. But, I am already here in Remington, I'm coming to your suite." Saad nito sa akin na ikinabigla ko naman at napatingin ako kina Cayden at agad akong nagsalita.

"Aahh no! I'm already outside my suite and waiting for the elevator. Just wait at the lobby." Mabilis na saad ko rito. Langya, baka masabotahe pa ang plano dahil dito.

"Oh, alright... I'll wait here then." Sagot naman nito at natapos din ang aming pag-uusap.

"I'll go now." Saad ko at kinuha ko na kang ang purse ko na kulay silver at lumabas na ng room. Halos pagpawisan ako dun dahil sa mga nangyari. Buti na lang at tumawag ito at ipinaalam na susunduin ako dahil kung hindi, baka nasorpresa na ako, nabuko pa ako!

Tama naman na huminto ang elevator sa floor ko at pumasok na ako doon. May isang taong nakasakay doon at nakatingin ito sa akin na tila natutulala. Malamang ikaw ba naman may makasabay kang nakagown na agaw atensyon di ka kaya mapapatingin?

Patay malisya na lang ako habang naghihintay na makarating sa baba ang elevator. Hindi naman yun tumagal at lumabas na ako. Maingat na iginala ko ang mga mata ko sa lobby at nakita ko kaagad si Nate na may kasamang limang bodyguards. He's wearing a three piece suit and looks so polished.

"Raven!" Bati nito sa akin at sinalubong ako his eyes was evident with admiration and fondness.

Nginitian ko naman ito at panandalian ko pang tiningnan ulit ang paligid. There are other guards outside.

"Hello Nate. We better should go now." Saad ko rito at umabrisyete na ako sa kanya. The act has started and the night of the auction will come soon.

Lumabas na kamo ng hotel at sumakay kami sa isang magarang bently nito. We travel going to South Express way at hindi ko inasahan na hindi pala ito sa metro. We are heading to Laguna.

"What a coincidence... It's in Laguna where we grow up." Dinig kong saad ni Misha sa earpiece. "We are tailing you."

Tatlong oras ang naging biyahe patungo sa Laguna at lumiko kami sa isang may sikat na subdibisyon doon at huminto kami sa isang magarang bahay. Marami na ang nakapark doon may mga men in black na nakashades at night. The fuck, I don't know if that is necessary or just an outfit pero, it's awkward.

Pumasok kami doon sa malaking bahay. It has a party and I just can't believe that the illegal auction is held without any caution! Though this is done in a private place but there is not even a hint of secrecy on this event!

"Happy birthday Governor!" Bati ng isang ginang sa isang lalaki na ngayon ay namukhaan ko.

Governor Romualdez. The Governor of Laguna.

Nagtungo naman kami at lumapit rito. Todo ngiti ang ginawa ko pero tahimik kung inobserbahan ang mga tao sa paligid. I can sense that there are some men all over the place. Armed men.

"Governor Romualdez! Happy birthday!" Bati naman ni Nate rito.

"Senator! Thank you for coming and you have a very fine young lady beside you." Sagot naman nito at nakangiti itong tumingin sa akin.

"Happy birthday Governor." Bati ko rito.

"Fine does not justify my lady.... she's beyond perfect. Her name is Raven." Saad naman ni Nate na tila proud na proud ito sa pagkakasabi nun.

"In deed, such a beautiful woman. You're very lucky to have her." Sagot naman ni Governor. I smiled but my inside almost churned.

"I am." Sagot ni Nate dito.

"I'll head to the food." Saad ko pa rito pero excuse ko lang yun. I need to scan the people in the party dahil alam ko na ito din ang mga panauhin sa magaganap na auction.

Kumuha ako ng pagkain pero dahan dahan at paikot ako sa hapag. I can see some women as well and they are talking carelessly.

"I wanted to get the cursed diamond from Africa. We've been eyeing it from a long time since it was featured. But it was forbidden to sell it. It's a good thing it was stolen and now it is in the auction." Saad ng isang babae na hindi ko naman kilala. She's holding a glass wine and sipping it classy. Maybe this is one of the woman of a senator or big business men here.

"This is rare opportunity that the auction is held here in the Philippines. We can now get stuff that will never be sold on the usual market." Saad ulit ng isa.

"We need to get the Pharaoh's head." Saad ng isang lalaki na nakatuxedo.

They are talking with unusual thing. Pharaoh's Head? Di ba Egyptian mummy yun? Why would a person likes to collect some morbid and unusual stuff? Kahit ibigay yun sa akin ay hindi ko yun tatanggapin. It's just so creepy to put a dead man's skeleton in your house.

Pumanhik na ako sa isang bakanteng lamesa at nakita ko naman si Nate na may kausap na mga tao. They are big in the society dahil may mga narerecognize akong mga mukha sa kanila. Kumain ako habang nagmamasid. Di naman ito nagtagal at lumapit at umupo naman ito sa lamesa na inuukopa ko.

May lumapit naman sa aming waiter at may inilagay ito na pagkain. Nagsimula na itong kumain.

"I hope you're enjoying. I'm sorry if I wasn't able to accompany you with entire time." Sinserong saad naman nito sa akin.

"It's fine. As long as there is food, I'm all set." Sagot ko naman rito. And I am not feeling boring at all dahil nagmamanman naman ako. But if this is a regular party that I am attending. I bet this is definitely a boring one. Only the food will keep me sane here.

"Hhmm... Raven." Usal nito sa akin kaya napatingin ako sa kanya. "I would like to have a date with you." Saad nito sa akin.

Date. Eat out? Yun ba ang ibig niyang sabihin?

"Hhmm... you wanted to have a dinner again with me?" Tanong ko rito.

Hindi naman kaagad ito nakapagsalita at nakatingin lang ito sa pagkain. Then he stared at me before saying.

"I wanted to officially go out with you." He uttered and that made me thrown into a bit of surprise.
