Fancy POV
"Hi Fancy! Long time no see. Sabi sayo, mahahanap kita eh."
O______O
OHMYPALAKANGLUMIPAD!
Am I dreaming? No way! I AM DREAMING. Tell me, I'm dreaming! Oh God. What the hell?
Lumapit siya sa'ken. He's tumigil sa harap ko then he kiss me sa pisngi.
O______O
"I miss you, wifey."
O______O
What the hell is he doing here?!
I am natigilan. I'm nakatitig lang sa guy that nasa harap ko right now. Hindi ko maiwasang magbalik-tanaw.
*flashback*
"Arrgh! So kainis. Huhu! My foot is swolen. It's really masakit." I'm naiiyak na. Kasi naman, I'm napadaan sa mataong lugar, like there's a feast, like that. Then they make apak my paa. And there, my super mahal na sandals is nasira. I make upo dito sa isang bench.
I wanna cry. Kasi naman. I'm alone lang dito sa Paris. I supposed to enjoy my vacation--not really a bakasyon. Well my Dad, he make papunta me dito sa Paris because naman I'm pinarusahan. I have kalokohan kasi na ginawa sa school namin. Eeeehhh! Kasi naman. It's really nakakainis. I'm kawawa. Really.
Now I can't go to mall or shop to make bili ng new sandals or slippers or anything. Basta may maisuot ako. Kasi naman! They are so rude eh. I'm not that super liit naman para tapakan nila ang feet ko.
I pouted my lip habang nakatingin sa swolen feet ko. It's namumula talaga. There's paltos pa. Huhubels talaga.
"Excuse me?"
I'm napatunghay sa nagsalita. I'm nakatingin lang sa kanya. I can't speak. I'm not marunong sa language ng taga-rito sa Paris. But he use naman ng english so maybe he can intindi english.
He's a..pretty man. Yeah, super puti. Pantay pantay ang white teeth niya and he's smiling. His eyes were gray like it's nakangiti din.
"Are you okay?" Tanong niya. I'm looked okay ba? I'm paiyak na nga eh.
I make iling lang. I don't know why I can't salita. Maybe I was stunned with his..face?
He make luhod sa harap ko and he sudeenly hawak my paa.
O_O
I make iwas my paa kasi I'm nagulat and why he's making hawak ba my paa?
"Its swolen. Is it hurt?" He asked.
Why he's asking ba? I didn't know him naman eh.
I make tango. I don't know. I don't talk to strangers but it feels like, he's not stranger? Like ganon? I can't intindi myself.
"Kanina pa kita sinusundan."
O____O
"Waaa!" I'm napasigaw. "What do you want from me? My kidney? My liver and make it liver spread? Waaa!"
"Hahahahahaha! Nakakatawa ka naman. Binilin ka sa'ken ng Papa mo, ni Mr. Abellano. Family friend. Nabanggit niya na narito ka sa Paris and gusto nyang kahit papaano ay may makasama ka rito. Alam niya kasing baby princess ka pa kaya hindi ka dapat hayaang mag-isa."
What? Family friend? He will make bantay me?
"You're Filipino?"
"Yeah. I'm full filipino. Lumaki ako sa states then nag-aral ako dito sa Paris. Ikaw? You're here for vacation right?"
I make tango. Can I trust him ba? But he know's my father eh.
"You're doubting. Am I right?" He make tanong then he make kuha his phone sa pocket nya yata. "Wait."
I'm nakatingin lang sa kanya. He's nakaluhod pa din sa harap ko. And its..a nice view.
"Yes Tito. She's with me now. Yes, yes. Don't worry. I can take care of her. Sure Tito." Sabi niya then make tingin sa'ken. "Your dad. You want to talk to him?" He asked.
Fine. I believed him na. "No thanks. It's fine." I make sagot. I know din naman na Papa will call me later.
He make tapos na yata yung call and put his phone sa pocket ulit. He make hawak ulit my paa. "Masakit pa rin?"
I make tango. He looks kind. He's mapagkakatiwalaan naman yata?
"Okay. Come here. I'll take you home."
O_____O
He's nakatalikod na to me. "Hey!" He tawag.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Bumaba ka sa'ken. Piggy back."
O______O
"Are you serious?"
"I'm damn serious."
I make dalawang isip. I'm magpi-piggy-back ba to him? Waa! So nakakahiya. He's stranger. We're kakikilala palang. Pero my feet is masakit talaga.
Think. Think. Think.
"Mag-iisip ka pa? Trust me. I'm harmless." He said sincerely. So that's it? He's kind naman eh.
Maybe it's fine naman na I make baba sa kanya right?
"Fine."
I...Waaaaa! But I'm nahihiya eh. Piggy back kasi. But..
"Don't be shy. Let's go. Hanggang sa kotse ko lang naman. Malapit lang ang parking dito." He said.
Okay. I will not hiya na sa kanya. I make damba na sa likod niya and there, I'm naka-piggy back ride na to him. Feeling better.
*end of flashback*
That was our first meeting. I met him there, because he's my bantay slash tour guide sa Paris. I stayed at their house there sa Paris. We're always magkasama. He's making me sama mag-shopping, mag-gala, magpunta sa lahat ng tourist spot there.
We became close. More likely a bestfriend. I like him as my bestfriend. He's been good to me. After ilang weeks, he make amin to me na he likes me, that he's inlove with me. That he wants to marry me someday. But I don't have romatic feelings for him. He's just a friend to me.
Until one day, one month passed and I need to make balik na here sa Philippines because I'm studying here.
*flashback*
"I am going na! Bye, bye! Thanks sa pag-accomodate, thanks sa pag-tour sa'ken here sa Paris." I said. I'm here at the airport na.
"I hate seeing you here Fancy. Kung pwede lang na dito kana lang muna mag-stay sa Paris ng mas matagal.."
I smiled at him. "Well, it's not pwede eh. But I really had a great time with you, Sydd."
"Me too. Don't worry. Pupuntahan kita sa Pilipinas."
I pouted my lips. "Of you can make me hanap. Ha-ha!" I joked.
"Mahahanap kita. Papakasalan pa kita eh." He smirks at me.
"Geez! Funny."
"I'm serious. I'll marry you. I'll be your husband and you'll be my wifey."
O____O
"Wifey?!"
"Yes, wifey. Wait for me. Hahanapin kita sa Pilipinas."
He's kidding lang right? I know he's kidding.
"Psh. I will alis na! Bye bye. Take care Sydd." I waved at him.
He make ngiti sa'ken then he suddenly kiss my cheeks and hugs me.
"Hintayin mo lang ako. Pupuntahan kita, wifey. I love you."
>.<
"Waa! Sydd naman eh!"
"Haha! I'm serious. Sige na. Pasok ka na sa loob. Bye." Aniya.
I make tango and make hila na my maleta. Then I make pasok na sa loob ng airport.
*end of flashback*
So he's seryoso talaga. He makes punta talaga dito sa Pilipinas. For what? For..
O_____O
"Hey! Wifey."
O_____O
"Waaa! Stop calling me wifey. I'm not your asawa naman eh!" Sagot ko.
He make me hila sa loob ng library. There's Papa, sitting on his swivel chair.
"Fancy, anak. You remember him, right? Sydd Agoncillo." Papa said.
I make tango. "Yes 'Pa."
"He'll be staying here. He's on vacation. Gusto kong ipasyal mo siya dito sa Pilipinas. Siya ang nagsilbing tour guide mo sa Paris so vice versa land. Do the favor for him."
O_____O
"He will stay here sa mansyon?" I asked.
"Yes, iha. Like you sa Paris. You stayed at their house, right."
Waaaa! Dito siya titira? Ohmygod. Hindi naman sa don't want ko, kasi, he's inlove with me. And I'm...waaa! Baka I'm ma-fall na to him. He's so caring pa naman and sweet. He so kind pa!
"How long he will stay here?"
"Three months." Si Sydd ang nag-answer.
"Yeah. So ikaw na ang bahala sa kaniya, iha. Ihatid mo siya sa isa sa guest room."
Dug, dug..
I'm kinakabahan na. Waaa! "O-Okay Papa."
As if I can make tiis si Sydd? Eh, he's like a bestfriend na talaga to me. We're close kaya. But, it's awkward kasi, he's calling me wifey. Yaaaa!
"Thank you Tito." Sydd said.
I make tingin na kay Sydd. He's more gwapo today. Kasi naman he grown up din naman. "Let's go na Sydd?"
"Yes, wifey."
>.<
Waa! He's not nahihiya ba kay Papa na he's calling me wifey? Like...arrgh! I'm nahihiya eh.
I'm nauna na lumabas ng library then I can ramdam naman na he's following me. I make hatid him sa isa sa geust room. Yeah, it's malapait sa room ko.
"This will be your room while staying here." I said.
"Yeah. Then after we got married, we'll be staying on the same room. Right wifey?"
O____O
"Yaaaaa! I will make you batok talaga Sydd!"
"Hahahaha! Wala kang pagbabago, wifey. Conyo ka pa din at madaling maasar. Pero kung may nagbago man sayo..."
O_____O
"...medyo hindi ka na flatscreen."
O_____O
"Awwwww!"
"You're so bastos talaga! And so maloko! Arghhh!"
"Hahahahaha! Nakakatuwa ka talaga mag-react. Oh sige na. Thanks sa paghahatid dito sa room. By the way, where's yor room?"
I make turo the pink door. "There."
"I see. Sige na. Pahinga lang muna ako. Jetlag eh. See you around, wifey."
"Yaa! Stop calling me wifey."
"What if I don't want?"
=___=
"Sydd!"
"Yes, wifey?"
"Arrrghhh!"
"Hahaha! I love you. Wag ka ng masungit. Mamaya papasayahin kita like I always did before."
>.<
Yeah. He's tama. He can make me patawa talaga even in simpleng jokes lang. His sense of humor is so taas eh, that's why.
I made face. "Go! Go pasok na sa room mo." I make taboy him.
"Hahaha! Okay wifey!"
The door was close na but I'm still nakatayo here. I'm napahawak sa dibdib ko. And it's trembling. Waa! Sydd is so ano kasi eh.
But..
He's still the same. The funny Sydd I used to know. The guy..no, my guy bestfriend.
--
I'm nakahiga here sa kama ko. Thinking about Sydd. Kasi naman! He will stay here ng three months? Eh what are his gagawin dito? I'm pumapasok sa school. I can bond lang sa kanya kapag I'm nakauwi na from school.
Hay. Why he's here ba naman kasi? But on the other hand, I'm masaya to see him again. He's one of my closest guy aside from my brothers. I like his ugali and he's always making me ngiti.
*knocks on the door*
Oh. Is that Sydd kaya? I'm tumayo na and open the door. "Yes?"
Okay. The maid pala.
"Ma'am may bisita po kayo. Blake daw po."
O______O
Ohmyshakeshakefries! I forgot. He's making punta nga pala here today. Waaa!
"O-okay. Tell him to wait sandali." I said and slammed the door.
Waaa! He's here. Si Blakey..
I'm nakaligo na naman. All I need to do is mag-ayos sandali. Okay. I make tingin myself sa mirror and I'm pretty pa rin naman.
I make tayo na and labas from my room. I'm bumababa na sa hagdan when I saw Blake sa living room.
*o*
He's so gwapo talaga. "Hi Blake!"
He looks at me while making ngiti. He's lalong nagiging gwapo in my paningin.
"Hi Jewel."
Dug, dug..
My heart is so nagwawala na! Oh shems. "Ah, you're natuloy pala dito."
"Yes. Ah, I'm magpapahanda lang ng meryenda." I said. It's already two in the afternoon na kasi. Almost meryenda time.
"Okay. Take your time." Sabi niya.
I'm tumalikod sandali then go to kitchen. Waaaaa! My puso is really nagwawala na. They want to make labas sa dibdib ko!
"Manang make meryenda for us ng friend ko. Make it sunod nalang sa may pool area." I said.
"Sige po Ma'am."
I'm tumalikod na then balik sa living room. "Blake."
"Jewel."
"Let's go sa may pool area na?" I make yaya. He wants to have bonding kaya with me.
"Jewel. Here, for you." He make abot a pink paperbag to me.
*o*
He's giving me gifts na like a manliligaw? Waaaaa. I'm kenekeleg.
I make patong muna ng paperbag sa mesa here sa may pool area.
"You make dala ng spare clothes?" I asked.
"Yeah. Magsswimming tayo eh. Haha!" He said habang nakatawa.
Major turn on. Super ganda ng smile niya to me! Gawd!
"Okay!" I show him my okay sign.
I'm magpapalit later ng swim suit. I hope Blakey will magustuhan my swim suit later. Yaa! I'm not nahihiya naman. Wearing swimsuit is common lang kaya to us.
"Wifey!"
O_________O
OH-MY-MILLION-ABS! Sydd is here nga pala sa mansyon. I forgot!
"Wifey?" Tanong ni Blake.
O_______O
"Sino siya?" Sydd asked when he's nakalapit na to us.
1, 2, 3..
Hingang malalim.
"Sino ba siya, Jewel?" Blake asked naman.
Hingang malalim. Oh geez! What to do? What to do?
"I'm her husband."
O________O
"Sydd! Don't make biro nga." I shouted then look at Blake. "Ah, he's a friend from Paris. He's Sydd."
"And you are?" Sydd asked Blake.
"I'm Blake. Her classmate." Blakes answered.
Oh my. Why I'm feeling na there's kuryente sa mga tingin nila to each other?
"And why are you here?" Sydd asked.
"Bonding." Matipid na answer ni Blake. "And you, why are you here?"
O_o
They are seryoso ba? Why..
"I'm staying here. I'm on vacation."
Waaaa! It's so iba ang ambiance now! "Ah, Sydd, Blake.."
They both tingin sa'ken. Waaa! They are seryoso pareho. What happened to them ba?
"Ayoko namang istorbohin kayo sa bonding kaya magpaparaya ako sa ngayon. Papasok na ako sa loob, wifey." Paalam ni Sydd.
Shocks!
"He called you wifey. What does it mean?" Blake asked.
Omo! It's so nakakahiya. He make rinig pa the wifey thingy.
"Ah, he's kidding. That's his endearment to me lang." I answered.
"Okay. Hindi masyadong maganda sa pandinig na tawagin ka niyang wifey."
"Blake.."
"Because you're mine, Jewel. Ayokong may tatawag sa'yo ng ganon."
O_______O
My heart.....is nahimatay.
