Tita Wenilda allowed me to go outside to relax myself that's why I felt so happy. She also told me that I must not be come home late because Blaze would become angry.
'Tindi rin ng topak ng isang 'yon noh oh? Abot langit lol'
I was strolling around the mall when there is someone called me at my side. It seems unfamiliar voice from a guy and he is calling me from other name.
I have just ignored him and walk straight but he suddendly touch my arms carelessly.
What's wrong with this guy?
I faced him with my furrowed eyebrows.
"Shai." he called me again from that name.
"Sorry I didn't know you."
"Please don't pretend that you do not know me." he said with a sincerity on his eyes.
"Hindi talaga kita kilala at yung pangalan na kanina mo pa tinatawag sa'kin hindi ko 'yon pangalan. So please stop act awkwardly?"
"No. Ikaw si Shai my ex....." he stopped for a second. "My girlfriend."
He sighed as mentioning the last word.
I giggled, "Your girlfriend? Excuse me baka napagkamalan mo lang ako yung jowa pero hindi talaga kita kilala."
"I have to go now." I said
"I know you are Shaina Pauleen the only woman I loved for almost a year."
I faced him again. "I am not Shaina Pauleen you have known, Mr. I have my own name and that is Ivy Villamorez, kuha mo?" pagtataray ko sa kanya. Ang kulit kasi.
"Impossible ikaw pa rin talaga si Shai na minahal ko. The way you act and speak, nagpapakita na ikaw nga ang girlfriend ko."
I smirked, "Sorry but I have to go may mga bibilhin pa kasi ako eh."
Pagkasabi ko niyon agad na rin akong naglakad nang mabilis palayo sa lalaking 'yon.
"Hahanapin pa rin kita saan ka man pagpunta. I will make a proof that you are Shaina Pauleen na kilala ko." pahuling sabi niya pero hindi ko lang iyon pinansin.
'Whatever'
Pagkanood ko ng sine, napag-isipan ko na ring umuwi dahil baka abutan ako ni Blaze at sermonan nanaman kung ano. Akala mo kasi kung boyfriend kung makaasta noh? Haixt.
The following day, ako ang maghahatid sa mga bata sa kanilang school dahil may seminar raw pupuntanhan itong si Blaze.
Nagbihis lang ako ng printed green t-shirt and black legging pants tapos naglagay naman ako ng plain lipstick at konting pabango. Gora na!!!
"Yes! Si Ate Beauty ang maghahatid sa amin." magiliw na saad ni Bless kaya napangiti na lang ako, hehe. She's cute.
Hinatid ko na sila sa kanilang eskwelahan pagkatapos napagdesisyon ko na ring umuwi.
I rolled my eyes when I saw a guy who I have met in the mall yesterday. He is now wearing dark blue long sleeve polo and blue maong pants.
"Are you following me?" I looked at him astonishedly.
"Di ba sabi ko naman sayo na susundan kita kahit saan ka man magpunta. Teka sino pala mga batang kasama mo kanina, mga anak mo?"
"Ano paki mo ahhh? Hindi kita kilala so I don't waste my time talking to a stranger like you. Baka pa nga niyan human trafficking syndicate ka pa."
Nilampasan ko na siya pero hinarangan niya ang dinaraanan ko.
"Hindi ako stranger at may pangalan ako." he said while still looking at my eyes that made my heartbeat faster.
I don't know why this is happening to me now. It seems like he has connection to me because of those stares. However I ignore my thoughts and avoid his eyes.
"Pasensya na hindi ako interesado malaman ang pangalan mo kaya please paadaanin mo na ako."
Umalis na nga siya sa dinaraanan ko at sabay pumara na rin ako ng tricycle.
"I miss you, Shai. Sana tama na ang pagpapanggap mong hindi mo ako kilala."
Dinig ko nang makasakay na ako sa tricycle pabalik ng bahay. I have ignored all his sayings kasi wala naman ako mapapala at hindi ko siya kilala. Ngayon ko lang siya nakilala pero sa tuwing napatitig ako sa kanyang mga mata I felt my heart easily pumping. Ugh.
'Forget it Ivy. Nababaliw ka lang'
Pumasok na rin ako sa loob ng bahay.
"I'm here na Tita Wenilda."
"Bakit ngayon ka lang? May pinuntahan ka ba?" she suddenly asked.
I looked to my wristwatch and I suprised as I saw the time is already 9:30AM. Nagkausap lang kami saglit ng lalaking 'yon bumilis ang oras.
What's happening on earth?
Tinulungan ko nang magluto si Tita Wenilda para madali matapos at maihatiran ko rin ang mga bata ng kanilang pananghalian.
It was already 11:00 when my eyes turned into the wall clock. I have been preparing their lunch and Blaze interrupted behind my back.
"Sino 'yong lalaki nakakotseng kausap mo kanina mukhang seryoso rin ang usapan niyo."
'Wait. How did he know that?'
"I don't know him." I replied shortly.
"Talaga? Eh mukhang magkakilala nga kayo eh? Manliligaw mo ba?" he asked with curiousity on his voice.
'Teka bakit masyado atang curious itong lalaki na'to sa akin ngayon.'
"Hindi ko nga siya kilala."
Ewan ko ba. Mukhang ako pa ata mas naiinis sa kanya ngayon.
"Really?" he chuckled.
"Ano kasi paki mo ahhh? Don't ask me again about that guy." I said.
"Defensive much ahhh?" he commented.
"Diyan ka na may mga gagawin pa ako. Excuse me." tinarayan ko siya para tumigil na.
Di ko alam kung bakit masyado akong affected pagdating sa lalaking 'yon. Ano ba meron sa aming dalawa ng lalaking 'yon?
Akala ko ba self hindi mo na siya iisipin ahhh. Nagpapadyak na lang ako pumasok sa kwarto ko.
When the evening came, we already finished our dinner so I decided to stay in the balcony for a minute.
"Beware with those strangers baka mamaya kidnapin ka nila. Don't attract to handsome man too."
I heard Blaze spoke behind but I ignored him. Alam ko naman 'yon eh at iniiwasan ko nga ang lalaking 'yon kaso sobrang kulit eh.
"Akala mo ba sa akin ganun ako ka-attracted sa mga gwapo. FYI hindi ako ganoong klaseng babae na akala mo. Oo wala akong kamuwang muwang sa mga gawaing bahay pero pagdating sa ganyang mga bagay, aware ako."
I exclaimed then walked away and not interested anymore to hear his advice. It's seems confused that he is no longer saying bitter words to me usually he did before.
Sobrang nakakapagtaka sa mga kinikilos niya ngayon.
