Chapter 2

Chapter 2

The stranger who's carrying her brought her in a private room of the bar.

"It's not good for you if a stranger will take you to your hotel room drunk so you need to sober up first at saka kita ihahatid"

Pinaupo siya nito, looks like it is a private room and it's also a sound proof dahil hindi na rinig ang ingay sa labas.

"You can rest here, this place is mine kaya walang makakapasok dito."he stands again and brushes his hair again using his finger like he was already anxious.

"Where are you going?" Di niya maiwasang itanong nang tumayo ito.

"Leaving, I will be back later"

Napatitig siya dito.

This guy looks like a badboy but he is such a gentleman.

"Wait.. please don't go... I.. I just need someone to talk too" maybe she really needs one medyo magaan ang pakiramdam niya sa lalaking ito and maybe he is a kind of guy na makakalimutan din siya after, the way he looks mukhang maraming babae na itong napaiyak.

"Why is it a boyfriend problem?" He asks habang makataas ang kilay .

She looked at him and she laughed.

"I don't have a boyfriend Mister, I am NBSB as in no boyfriend since birth"

She carelessly laughed nangunot ang kilay nito sa sinabi niya looks like he doesn't believe her.

"I swear" itinaas pa niya ang kamay na tila nanunumpa dito but he just stared at her blankly or maybe he felt like she is just a nuisance.

"No one likes me.. even you !didn't like me at all right? As I read your reaction towards me you and all the men dislike someone like me.. It's ok, sanay akong ma reject"

She smirked at him at sinandal niya ang ulo sa sofa at pinikit ang mata dahil nakakaramdam pa siya ng konting hilo and she massage her temple.

Narinig niya ang yabag nito papalayo, and she giggled sabi na nga ba niya at iiwan din siya nito.

But she heard a door locked at nagmulat siya ng mata nakita niya itong pabalik.

Napaawang ang mga labi niya akala niya ay umalis na ito.

And he sat beside her.

Tiningnan nito ang orasan

"It's just 11:15pm and we still have 3 hours to talk about your problem"

Napangiti siya sa sinabi nito.

"Really?"hindi maitago ang tuwa sa mga labi niya

"Well yeah"nagkibit balikat naman ito.

Tumayo ito at kumuha ng alak sa mini refrigerator nito at nakita naman niya ang yosi at lighter niyang ipinatong nito sa lamesa kaya naman lihim niyang kinuha ito.

Pagbalik nito ay meron na itong bitbit na dalawang bote ng beer.

"Well why are you here alone.."bungad nito sakanya pagkaupo sa tabi niya.

Kinuha niya ang beer, ngunit inagaw nito sakanya at ito na ang nagbukas noon.

"Thanks"tinanggap niya at ngumiti dito. "I'm here because my sister told me"

"Your sister?"nakataas ang kilay na tanong nito.

"Yeah, well it's my last two months of being single"tinaas pa niya ang bote na hawak.

"Why?"nagsalubong ang kilay nito.

"Because in two months, my future husband will be here and.. we will getting married "she laughed but pain is visible in her downcast eyes.

" Then why you didn't look happy? "

" Because.. I don't know him.. it's an arranged marriage at ayaw ko sanang magpakasal sa lalaking hindi ko mahal..at hindi ko pa kilala,but I have no choice"

Kinuha niya ang alak at nilagok .

" It's.. kinda hard to be in that situation.. "rinig niyang bulong nito.

" Yeah, no one understands me"

" Then why didn't you told your parents about it.? "

" My parents has a high expectations on me, I'm the eldest daughter and all of the responsibility is in my shoulder, pati mga kapatid ko, they think I'm that strong but I'm not.. it's just my defense mechanism "

Sabay silang napalingon sa pinto ng may kumatok.

"Wait" paalam nito.

Tumayo ito at naglakad papunta he opened the door at may kumausap dito, he nodded at bumaling ito sakanya.

" I will be back"lumabas ito habang naiwan siyang magisa.

She just got another beer, at nilagok iyon.

She feel so tipsy the plan is to make her sober pero pakiramdam niya ay nalalasing siya lalo ng beer.

At her head starts to spin again.

She got her cigarettes and light it, humithit nanaman siya.

She can still remember it.

When her father told her about the problem na kinakaharap ng pamilya niya.

It was a big problem na pwedeng maging dahilan upang manganib ang buhay ng pamilya niya at nakasalalay sakanya ang lahat.

She wanted to cry but she needs to accept her fate now dahil kung hindi paano nalang ang daddy niya? He will be very disappointed in her.

Nang biglang bumukas ang pinto at nagkatitigan sila nito,maybe just this one,may mapagkwentuhan naman siya mg problema niya someone will listen without judgement and he is a perfect stranger for this kind of situation.,magkasalubong ang mga kilay nito at tumabi sakanya.

Kinuha nito ang yosi na nakasalpak sa bibig niya.

" No! "

Pilit niyang inaagaw ngunit hindi niya kayang abutin ang kamay nito.

" I really don't like woman who smokes, it can cause bad breath" he looked disgusted at napangiti siya, and he stared at her intently.

Napatitig siya sa labi nito.

Looking at his lips mukha ngang hindi ito naninigarilyo because of its color at mukhang napalambot and curiosity attack her.

"Then let's try" she held his nape and pulled him without a warning at tila nagulat ito when their lips met, as what she read on those novels she tried to open her mouth at suck his lips.

Yes she suck it, and she feel ashamed She' s a 25 years old woman who's achiever and good at anything about business didn't know how to kiss.

But it feels strange., And she feels something inside her belly that tingling.

Pathetic...

She pulled out and stare at him and she giggled seeing his reaction na tila hindi parin makapaniwala.

"I didn't know how to kiss right? What a shame" and she chuckled.

He looked at her with amusement in his eyes at napailing ito.

Kinuha niya ang bote ng beer at nilagok parang napaka kumportable na ng pakiramdam niya sa lalaking kaharap dahil hindi na siya nakakaramdam ng hiya dito.

Habang ito ay nakatitig sakanya na parang hindi parin makapaniwala sa ginawa niya.

She stared at him, dumbfounded at iniisip niya kung bakit ganito ang reaksyon nito, she's not good at reading people.

"Why?...Oh!" Natuptop niya ang bibig ng marealize niya.

"I'm so sorry! Did I disappoint you? I'm not a good kisser,I admit it" she laughed.

" Ano bang aasahan mo sa isang kagaya ko,boring right? "And she laughed again.

Umayos ito ng upo, but they're still close enough dahil ilang dangkal lang ang layo nila sa isat-isa and she can smell him

"You think what you did is funny?"akala mo tatay niya ito ng biglang sumeryoso ito habang nakatitig sakanya.

Umiling siya.

"Then--"

"I didn't know the lips are warm" akma sana itong magsasalita at tila ba hindi niya narinig ang sinabi nito she hold her lips subconsciously.

Kita niya ang paglunok nito sa ginawa niya.

She laughed again.

"Well Mister, You're so lucky you know why? You're my first kiss, and before I promised myself na kung sino ang lalaki na makakakuha ng first kiss ko, well be my husband.. but unfortunately you are my first but you will never be my husband because two months from now ikakasal nako, and let's celebrate the remaining time of being single! "

At kinuha niya ang bote ng beer at inubos ang laman nito, ngunit pakiramdam niya ay nabitin siya kaya pati ang beer nito ay kinuha niya at nilagok.

Inagaw naman nito ang bote sa kamay niya.

"Enough with the beer"

"No.. let me enjoy this, maybe tomorrow we will never see each other again, malay mo sunduin nako dito, and I want to experience the best"

Dumukwang siya para kunin ang beer dito, ngunit itinaas nito ang kamay na may hawak ng beer.

Ngunit ng hindi niya maabot ang beer dito ay iniakyat niya ang tuhod sa sofa at halos nakaluhod na siya sa harap nito but she's already drunk kaya naman nawalan siya ng balanse ay napahawak siya sa dibdib nito,pati rin ito ay tila nawalan din ng panimbang kaya naman natumba siya sa ibabaw nito.

His one hand is holding the bottle while the other is holding her waist.

At halos nakaibabaw siya dito both of them was shock.

"Oppss" Natatawa niyang sabi at natuptop ang bibig

"Get off Adie!"his voice is hoarse at hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit tila nahihirapan itong magsalita mabigat ba siya?

But she leaned forward na halos napaka lapit na ng mga mukha nila,while she was staring at his lips intently na parang naalala niya pa ang lambot at init niyon kanina like she wanted to try it again.

"Your voice is so sexy while saying my name.." malamlam na ang mga mata niya habang nakatitig dito.

Amoy din niya ang mabangong hininga nito dahil halos nakatapat lang ang mukha niya sa mukha nito.

There bodies is touched each other at ramdam niya ang marahas na paghinga nito.

She removes the hair strands in his forehead at lalong napaka gwapo nito sa mata niya,

"You know.. I can't understand why, you look so attractive.. "she gently whisper she feels lost at hindi niya maintindihan.

The Adira who's always composed at desiplinado, after tasting a lips of a stranger ay parang mababaliw.

She heard a broken sounds binitawan pala nito ang bote na hawak nito.

Nagulat siya maybe he's annoyed dahil narin sa kulit at daldal niya.

" I'm.. I'm sorry "akma siyang babangon when he clung at her waist kaya naman di siya nakabangon.

" Mister... "

"Marco., My name is Marco.." they're too close, so close na ramdam na niya ang tigas ng dibdib nito her heart starts to beat rapidly nang maramdaman ang lalong paghigpit ng yakap nito sakanya.

She feels strange, at hindi niya kilala ang emosyon na nararamdaman niya ngayon while staring at his eyes.

But like a flash she realize their position and their situation right now she was such a careless woman!

Ano nalang ang sasabihin ng daddy niya if he finds out about this?

Adira being aggressive infront of a man na hindi nga niya alam kahit apelyedo at pinagmulan.

"Ahm.. I think I need to go.. "bigla nalang niyang nasabi, hindi siya pwedeng mag entertain ng mga ganitong bagay.

" Go where? "His hands start caressing her back at napalunok siya.

" I-in my hotel"

" Hm.. ok then how about tomorrow? "Nakatitig parin ito sakanya

" Tomorrow? Ahm.. maybe my next destination is in the next club? "

Tukoy niya sa bar na nakita niya na medyo malayo na sa hotel niya.

Bumangon ito na tila hindi man lang ininda ang bigat niya.

"Do you know what did to me?"Ramdam niya ang paghigpit ng yakap nito sakanya embes na pakawalan siya, halos nakaupo narin siya sa kandungan nito habang nakapatong ang kamay niya sa balikat nito.

"Huh? Did I do something wrong? ''her eyes locked at his tattoos, and she feel like she is being hipnotize by it, her finger traces his tattoos na nasa leeg nito.

" You know I kept restraining myself ?"kita niya ang pagtaas baba ng adams apple nito.

Nagsalubong ang kilay niya.

"Why?"

When she looked at him, unti-unting lumapit ang mukha nito sakanya.

"You're so innocent.. but you already reach my limit"he almost whisper.

Marco leaned towards her and give her a gentle kissed her lips started to move gently as he holds her nape and pulled her closer.

This is the real kiss!

His lips was warm and soft and so gentle and Marco pulled out at stare at her intently.

" We can't do it here., "Bulong nito sakanya.

And she nodded.

Maybe he wanted to kiss her more, at baka may makakita sakanila.

" Ok, we will continue this on my yacht" Marco stands at hawak ang kamay niyang hinila siya nito papalabas ng private room at papalabas ng bar.

"Wait! Slow down!" Saway niya dito pagkalabas niya dahil hindi siya makahabol her head still spinning at pakiramdam niya ay masusuka na siya, bigla itong napahinto at napaharap sakanya at walang sabi sabing binuhat siya nito.

Her stomach starts rumblings lalo na ng umakyat sila sa yate nito na medyo maalog.

Marco put her in the chair dahil binubuksan nito ang pinto ng yacht nito.

'blurhh! '

Napalingon sakanya so Marco at nanlalaki ang mata.

Agad siyang nilapitan nito.

"You vomited in your dress,"

Napatitig siya dito, why he didn't look disgusted?

Ngunit bigla siya nitong binuhat and she closed her eyes.

"You need to clean up,"

She opened her eyes at binaba siya nito sa banyo at binuhay ang shower.

"Yeah, I have too., It's so disgusting" at wala man lang pasabing naghubad siya sa harap nito kita niya ang pamimilog ng mga mata ni Marco.

At bigla itong napatalikod.

"I will bring towel" at lumabas ito ng banyo.

While she stays under the shower, but her knees already weak kaya naman naupo siya sa tiles, and she closed her eyes ngunit unti-unti siyang nilalamon ng antok her eyes try to fight but she can't at tuluyan ng nakatulog.

Nagising siya, mula sa liwanag na nanggagaling sa bintana.

She wanted to get up para sana isara ang bintana ngunit hindi siya makagalaw, as if something weighty in her tummy.

Napalingon siya ngunit nanlalaki ang mga mata niya ng makitang meron siyang katabing lalaki!

'oh my gosh! What did I do? 'sigaw ng utak niya, pareho sila walang damit!

She was shivering in nervous habang dahan-dahang tinatanggal ang braso nito na nakayakap sakanya.

Habang nagdarasal na sana ay hindi ito magising.

Nung natanggal niya ay dali-dali siyang bumaba para hanapin ang damit ngunit hindi niya makita and when she turned around she saw her clothes hangging outside na mukhang nilabhan na at tuyo na sa lakas ng hangin at init , kinuha niya iyon at nagmamadaling nagbihis.

He was sleeping peacefully.

Kaya naman nakapag ayos siya ng sarili.

Patakbo siyang lumabas just to realize na nasa yate pala sila.

Buti nalang nakagilid ito sa pantalan kaya naman nakaalis lang siya.

Dumiretso siya sa hotel room niya.

Napaupo siya sa kama pagdating.

"Gosh! What did I do? I just want to enjoy my days being single pero bakit ganito ang nangyari?"

Kinapa niya ang bulsa just to realize na wala pala ang cellphone niya.

Gusto niyang sumigaw, out of frustrations iniisip niya kung ano ba ang nangyari noong nagdaang gabi?

Ngayon ay pinu-problema niya rin ang cellphone niya kung paano niya matatawagan ang mga kapatid at baka biglang tumawag ang daddy niya.

Nakikiramdam din siya sa sarili niya kung may nangyari ba sa kanila ni Marco.

Pakiramdam niya ay mauubos ang kuko niya the anxiety hitting her hard, she will be married in two months time at natulog siya sa tabi ng isang lalaking hindi niya kilala!

What would her father will say to her?

Her head is aching so much kasabay ng hung over niya her brain isn't working now at hindi niya alam gagawin she wanted to leave this place immediately but she need her phone hindi pwedeng pag tumawag ang daddy niya tapos si Marco ang makasagot?

She will be a dead meat.

So she decide to just stay in the hotel, for the meantime hindi siya lumalabas ngayon dahil nahihiya siya sa mga ginawa niya at inasal niya.

Buong araw din siyang nagkulong but she needs to know where she left her phone, sa bar at sa yate lang naman ang mga lugar na pwedeng mapaglaglagan ng cellphone niya so she decide to go back in the bar.

And to look for the person at ayaw na sana niyang makita.

Nilapitan niya ang bouncer.

"Ahm.. excuse me, do you know where I can find Marco?"tila naman nakilala siya nito at ngumiti.

"Ahm.. si Boss ma'am nandon po kay Jojo" turo nito sa bartender

Still mausok at maingay parin sa loob ngunit isa lang ang pakay niya ngayon.

He was sitting in the high chair habang umiinom ng inguso siya ng bartender.

But a beautiful woman approach him, at hinawakan pa ito sa hita, she was taken a back she can still remember it all vividly.

How he kissed her but look at him now., It's easy for him to flirt.

Pero hindi she needs her phone she needs to get out of this place this instance!

Napabaling sakanya ang bartender at ngumiti na tila nakilala siya.

Napalingon naman sakanya si Marco.
