The next day, Sam took a leave with Maya's approval. Celindra and Sam went out to eat their breakfast to their favorite café and planned to spend their whole day with each other. After eating their breakfast they visited the church and didn't bring the car. When they already came out a man suddenly stopped them.
The man look rich. His every clothing have a high end brand. He looks classy. Sam and Celindra wore customized clothes that have the best materials but the man never thought of it. Ang lalakeng ito ay isang blogger. Ang content niya ngayon ay "looking for a goldigger". Nung nakita niya ang relo ng lalake at mga gamit nito mukhang mamahalin, samantalang ang babae ay wala gaanong mamahaling gamit at normal lang ang damit. Inakala nitong 'goldigger' si Celindra at gusto niyang subukan kung sasama ito sa kaniya.
"Hi miss." Sam's expression didn't change, nor Celindra's after the man's greeting.
"Hello." Celindra smiled at the man. Tinignan ng mabuti ang lalake at nakitang mayaman ito. Halata rin sa lalake na nagpapasikat ito sa kung anong meron siya. Pero ang tanging nasa isip ni Celindra ay; 'Hindi ba siya natatakot na manakawan?'
"Do you want a ride miss?" the man pushed the remote of his car. The newest released of Porsche with the price of 1.3 million U.S. dollar, beeped.
Ngumiti naman si Celindra. Napansin niya na ang teenager na nagvivideo. Nakatago ito pero dahil mukang ayaw ng teenager ang kaniyang ginagawa napansin agad ito ni Celindra. 'Might as well play' she thought. Inalis agad ni Celindra ang pagkakahawak niya sa braso ni Sam at pumunta sa kotse. Tinignan niya 'to ng namamangha.
"This is yours?" excited na sabi ni Celindra. Nagtataka namang nakatingin si Sam kay Celindra.
"Yes." The man grinned. Akala nito ay nanalo na ito at lalo pa siyang nakumbinsi sa sasabihin ni Celindra. Tumingin si Celindra kay Sam at ngumiti.
"Sorry." Sam scoffed at her. He didn't know what is she playing now, but Sam let her be and accompany Celindra's play.
"What do you mean?" Sam glared at the man. Actually, Sam didn't like how the man looks at Celindra. Dahil maganda si Celindra ay nag-iisip na rin ang lalake kung maikakama niya si Celindra. Halata sa mga mata nito at bawat tingin niya, kaya naman mas lalong naiinis si Sam.
"Don't worry man, I will take care of her." The man opened the car. Napansin rin ni Celindra na may balak na ang lalake, kaya naman nagpasya na siyang tumigil. "Please." The man smilingly offered Celindra to get in. Celindra laughed when she saw Sam is starting to get mad.
"Sorry. Really, sorry. My boyfriend is angry now. Let's not play anymore." she laughingly said. Alam rin ni Celindra na pagtumagal pa ito ay baka mas lalo lang lumala.
"Ah? What?" the man said, confused. Celindra only giggled and hooked her arm back to Sam. She rubbed herself to Sam and pouted. Kailangan niya pang i-coax si Sam. Celindra looks at Sam playfully.
"Love... Call the driver and bring our car, I'm tired." Celindra said to Sam in a spoiled manner. Sam scoffed and glared at the man. He called the driver to bring the car. Sam also understood what Celindra is implying. 'Hmp. Since when did I, Sam eat loss?'
"Bring little red." Sam lastly instructed before ending the conversation.
The man kept talking to Celindra. Hindi pa rin ito sumusuko. Sumasagot naman si Celindra sa tanong niya pag okay lang ito, pag hindi at ayaw ni Sam ay ngingitian lang ni Celindra ang lalake.
Maya-maya lang ay may papalapit na kotse sa kanila. Nakuha naman nito ang attention ng lalake at tinignan ng namamangha. Humito ito sa harap na ikinagulat ng lalake. Nagtaka ito at sisilip na dapat. Bumaba naman ang driver at dumertsyo kila Celindra.
"Young Master, young madam." Pagkatapos niyang bumati ay binigay na niya ang susi kay Sam. Tumabi na ito sa isang gilid at pinagbuksan ang pinto sa passenger seat. Pumasok naman si Sam sa driver seat. Bago pumasok si Celindra ay tinukso niya ang lalake.
"Wanna ride?" she said with a wink.
"Celindra." Sam warned her. Kaya natawa na lang si Celindra.
"Sorry, seems like my love doesn't want a rival." Celindra looks at the teenager who is already gawking at the car, still filming the entire event. Celindra waved at him. "Bye!"
"You.. You already saw Simon?" The man was shocked.
"His name is Simon? Suits him." Celindra smiled and got in the Red Shiny Ferrari named little red.
Pagkapasok ni Celindra ay agad siyang natawa at tinanong si Sam.
"Why did you even choose little red? Why not the other car much lesser price to little red?" she asked. Sam scoffed.
"Why not double the price? Since he likes to show off, he must be sure to keep that smile of his." He started to drive and decided to punished his woman.
"Where are we going?"
"Home."
On the other hand, Simon and the man wanted to talk to the one who drove little red.
"The car... Is that their car?" Simon's brother asked. Mr. Han look at him and nodded.
"Yes, it's one of young master's car." Mr. Han heard him muttered 'one of.' so he nodded again. Nakaramdam na siya kung anong nangyari kanina. Although, hindi yun mismo ang alam niya ay nakuha niyang ayaw ni Sam sa lalakeng ito.
"Yes ah. It's the third cheapest car that young master have. He still have a lot. Those are just gifts from his birthday 3 months ago, nothing much. Well, I need to go." Mr. Han didn't wait for their reply and walked in to the taxi that have been waiting for him.
Mr. Han arrived at the house, he was about to come in to the main house when Manang Dona stopped him.
"You can't ah."
"Bakit? Iinom lang ako." sabi naman ni Mr. Han
"Nako... Hindi muna pwede pumasok sa main house. Utos ni young master." Tinignan pa rin siya ni Mr. Han na nagtataka. Kaya naman lumapit si Manang Dona at bumulong dito.
"Baka magkakaroon na ng bata next year. Masaya na naman ang bahay niyan." Excited na bulong ni Manang Dona sa kaniyang asawa na si Mr. Han.
"Tumigil ka diyan Dona. Hindi ka na bata. Tara na't nagugutom na ang mga anak natin." Paghatak naman ni Mr. Ramon sa kaniyang asawa.
"Oo na, oo na." Sumunod naman agad ito sa kaniyang asawa. Habang si Mr. Han naman ay napangiti at iling na lang siya at dumaan sa gilid para pumunta na sa kanilang bahay.
Nasa kwarto naman ang dalawa. Nakatingin naman ng masama si Sam sa kakaligong si Celindra. Tinarayan naman siya ni Celindra.
"I thought you will spend our time outside. What now?" Sam scoffed and glared at her again.
"Seriously? Why are you glaring? Stop it already." Tumayo naman si Celindra at magtatangkang umalis ng kwarto ng pinigilan siya ni sa at tinapon papunta sa higaan.
"Sam!"
"Let's get married." Seryoso nitong sabi kay Celindra.Nanlaki naman ang mata ni Celindra sa gulat.
"Sam... Are you serious?" Hindi nagsalita si Sam pero kita sa mata nito na nagsasabi siya ng totoo at seryoso siya sa kaniyang sinabi.
"Sam.."
"I'm serious." Lumapit si Sam sa kaniya na naging dahil kung bakit umurong ng umurong si Celindra sa pagkakaupo niya sa kama. "Celindra, I'm serious. Let's get married. Those men can't convert you anymore. I will be yours. You will be mine. We will be together. Let's get married, okay?"
"Is that... how you supposed to propose...?"
"It doesn't matter. Let's get civil marriage first then I will propose again for church marriage." Sam opened her legs and kneeled down to the space of her legs.
