It was Alfred Beet. What's new?
"Oh come on!" He followed me when I went pass him. He's still the same. Feeling ko nga mahihirapan ako na itulak siya.
Like, he's so clingy and dependent. He acts like a kid na galit kanina at ngayon okay na.
I guess I'll just ignore and be cold to him.
"Hey, why aren't you chatting back, kanina pa ako nagsasalita ah?"
Nasa The Hall na kami and I was currently looking at the food. "Ate, what is this?"
"Caldereta." I nodded and proceeded looking at other foods. "Raine Quelly Bael-Saige, you've been here on earth for the last two decades and you don't know what Caldereta looks like?"
I blinked at him and ignored him purposely.
"Usap nga tayo doon Quelly, naiinis na ako na hindi mo ako kinakausap." Nagpahila na lang ako, for him to stop being a nuisance in that place.
After a while of walking, we arrived at my favorite spot in The Kingdom.
This small area where there is a fountain that hasn't been filled with water. Wait.
"Alfred, isn't this a fountain?" turo ko sa fountain na obviously nasa harap namin.
"Actually, it is and it's not." Kumunot ang noo ko and I went around the fountain.
"It is a fountain, but something is missing."
He sighed and I saw him pull out a water hose that might've been left by the Gardener on purpose or he might've forgotton to keep it away at his shed.
"You see, Rainy, I fill this with water and it becomes..." He looked back at me.
I noticed that he filled the fountain with water.
"A bird bath!" I almost clapped my hands when I figured it out.
Dimitri turned off the water and held the water hose away to keep it.
"Ay, akala ko may magic power ka na." I innocently gazed at him.
"You girl, is so innocent and at the same time a cutie." He was gonna kiss but I didn't let him.
"Stop it, I'm already married." I showed him my matrimonial ring.
"And so you are." He still pushed his face into mine. I didn't let him have the pleasure of me kissing him back. "Damn it!" he tried licking my lips but stopped him by covering it.
Muntik ko na siya masipa sa tiyan kung hindi lang siya hinawakan ni Dimitri.
"You've had enough torment time with my Mistress." And something exploded in Alfred's head. "Don't tell me that!" he tried to punch Dimitri's face but failed.
I didn't create Dimitri just to be my butler.
I installed a self-defense chip on him. That's the only chip for now, kaya naman noong nilagay ko yun sa kanya, I made sure na perfect ang pagkakagawa ko dito.
So far, puro pag-ilag ang ginagawa niya and itong si Alfred, suntok naman nang suntok.
I got bored and hindi ko mapigilan na sumigaw, "Alfred, tumigil ka na!"
Noong humarap ako sa kanya, I saw him crying. "Ayoko tumigil hangga't hindi mo ako mahal."
It pains me to see him this way. "Dimitri, kuha mo nga kami ng tubig." He nodded and joked na yung bird bath water ang ipapainom sa amin. "Yuck, do we look like birds to you?"
He affirmed by nodding, "You guys were once love birds right?" Natawa si Alfred sa sinabi nito at ako naman ang naglabas ng frustrations. "Dimitri! How dare you?!"
Susundan ko na sana si Dimitri para ako naman ang susuntok. "Ikaw naman tumigil, upo muna tayo sa bench."
Umupo naman kami sa bench. I was still infuriated and want to punch someone just to release my wrath.
"Short-tempered ka pa rin pala." Nakakunut-noo ko siya tinignan.
"As if I'll change what I am."
I crossed my arms. Still sulking.
"Kaya tayo bagay, kasi we almost have the same personality." He placed my head on his chest and tried to pacify my bad mood. Well, it didn't work.
"Ano ba kasi pag-uusapan natin?" tumayo na ako. He smiled and he got his Handkerchief out to wipe the tear stains on his face.
"Let's talk about our affair." I bit my lower lip inwards. Tapos yung upper lip ko and both lips are now being bitten by me.
"Stop doing that, mas lalo ako na-attract sayo." I huffed, "Dami mo talaga sinasabi na walang katuturan."
I whipped out my phone and speed-dialled someone's number.
"Yeobo! Nandito ako ngayon sa fountain ng The Kingdom, punta kayo dito ni Kari."
I hung up the phone and smirked.
"Kard and Kari will be here in a jiffy, you may leave." He was gonna say something more but just sadly bowed down his head.
"I'm sorry kung masyado na ako nag-ooverstep sa boundary." I watched him walk away. Anong boundary?
