Chapter 2 (HIS POV)
Nakakabadtrip talaga! Paano ba naman, sinabihan ako ni mama na may babantayan daw ako ngayong pasukan. Anak daw ng kanyang matagal nang matalik na kaibigan.
Kaninong anak ng kamatis naman yan oh! Wala akong balak maging bodyguard sa susunod na pasukan.
Galing daw sa states at dun na lumaki so di pa sanay sa buhay dito sa Pilipinas. It means I will be her guide until masanay na siya dito.
Ano bata ba yang anak ng kaibigan ni mama na kailangan pang gabayan pati pagpasok sa eskwelahan. O baka naman abnormal kaya kailangan ng taga-control. Kung sa special school nalang kaya nila pinasok ang kanilang anak. Wala pa silang maabala na tao. Nakakabadtrip talaga! =___=+
Haaay.. nandito na naman ako sa lugar na'to.
I so miss this place... Especially the person I'm with when I'm here.
I remember the girl awhile ago. Yung nakabangga sa akin na sinabing kasalanan ko pa daw na tatayo-tayo ako sa dadaanan niya.
Napikon talaga ako nun. Dagdag pang badtrip na ako.
She's so familiar. Her presence and attitude reminds me of her...
Especially her scent nung nabangga siya sa akin...
I couldn't forget that scent. That alluring and sweet scent that makes me wanting her more...
A smile formed on my lips.
Heh...
I knew it... Hindi ako pwedeng magkamali...
I heard the gate creaked. Di ko maaninag kung may tao ba dahil madilim ang paligid.
Nang bumukas ang lampost ay nasilaw ako ay may narinig nalang ako na...
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!!!!!" (Shar's POV)
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!!!!!" I shouted like there's no tomorrow.
Tumakbo naman agad ang mumu saken. Kaya ang ginawa ko ay tumakbo din!
Ikaw ba naman habulin ng mumu!
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!" I screamed again.
Katapusan ko na to! Walang makakarinig saken dito! Huhuhuhu...!
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!" Takbo.
Takbo..
Takbo..
Takbo..
Tak-
May humablot sa aking braso at tinakpan ang aking bibig.
Nahuli ako ng mumu!!!
Waaaaaaaah!!! Lord wag niyo pa po akong kunin. Magpapakabait na talaga ako! Promise!!
"Stop screaming okay?!" Pagalit na sabi ng mumu.
Waaaaaah! At ngayon ay nagagalit ang mumu saken!!
"WNGFNMNDFFMMMHHFH!" Sana maintinihan niya yon. Paano ba naman eh tinakpan pa rin niya ang bibig ko at hawak pa sa braso ko.
"Just don't scream okay?" Medyo mahinahon nang pagkasabi ng mumu saken. At medyo niluwagan ang hawak sa braso ko.
Injerness ang bango-bango ng mumu.
Teka.
Mumu ba talaga to? Or magnanakaw? Or manyak?
With those thoughts, I gathered all my strength and punch mumu!
*BOG!*
(A/N: With sound epek talaga yan. XD)
Ayun! Napabagsak ko rin siya! And the winnier is Sharmaine!!!! Woooooh!!!!!! XD
May alam din naman akong self-defense kahit papaano noh. I hate being helpless.
Nakita ko si mumu na tumatayo.
Woooops! Mukhang lalaban pa toh ah.
Aba... nakarecover agad sa aking superduper-ultrasonic-megaelectronic-boomboompow na punch! O___O
Mukhang malakas ang kalaban naten ngayon ah. Dapat mag-ingat.
"What the f*ck!.. Why'd you do THAT!!!!" O____O
Hala! Nagtransform nah si mumumon into monstermon!
PATAY!
DEDZ!
Hindi nah keribells ng powerz ko toh!
Nanigas ako sa kinatatayuan ko. Super nakakatakot si monstermon. Baka konting galaw ko lang gamitan niya ako ng out-of-the-world powerz niya! Nakuu po! Gusto ko pa talagang mabuhay! ~>_
Ayan nah... papalapit na si monstermon saken...
Di ko pa rin maaninag hitsura niya.
Medyo malayo na kasi kami sa lamp posts sa pathway.
I'm scared.
I closed my eyes waiting for his attack.
But instead of an attack. I felt arms around me and hugging me tightly.
I was shocked! Monsters won't do like hugging. O___O
"It's you... my Crystal..." I gasped. O_________________O!
All of my fears and uncertainty vanished like a bubble with those words...
I knew it then... I just turned a blind eye of it.
He changed physically. He became more masculine. Much taller compared to last time I saw him...
Changed his haircut and hair color. His voice became deeper and more authoritative.
But one thing never changed... He still have this same great impact on me when I first met him seven years ago.. And I think the feeling is getting stronger...
I was 10 and he was 11 when we first met...
=Flashback=
My omma said that we'll be going back to the Philippines because gramps is sick and dying.
*Sigh*. I don't know what to feel of coming back here after the traummatic kidnapping incident 5 years ago.
Kaya nga napadpad kami sa Florida after nun. For my safety daw. =___=
Right now our plane just arrived in NAIA.
Granny's waiting for us.
Even though she's strict and scary, I still miss her. She visits us in New York every now and then together with gramps. That's how we got close.
I could see the van that would pick us up. Granny will be riding on her car. She doesn't like packed places. And i'm sure that the van would be packed with our things and stuffs.
We arrived at the hacienda at noon. So we took up lunch.
After that I went out from the mansion and survey granny's place.
Even though i'm a city girl, I still appreciates the tranquility the place brought to me. The view's so natural and innocent.
"Sharmaine" Granny called me from behind.
"What is it granny?" I asked smiling.
"D'you like the place?" "Definitely! The scenarios here are just breathtakingly wonderful!" I answered cheerfully. I was that so carefree when I was young.
"D'you still remember what I told you at the States?" "Which one granny? You've told me lots of things when you were there." I said confusedly.
She chuckled.
"The one when I told you about the secret paradise" She said smiling.
"Really??" I said excitedly.
"Yes my dear. And you'll get to see that... now!" I could see that granny is as much excited as me to see that secret paradise.
So off we went. I could see bushes and forest at the secluded part of the garden.
We stopped at the wooden gate and granny got the key from it's secret hid.
She opened the gate.
And there I saw paradise... I felt like i'm in another world...
"Magnificient isn't it?" Granny said enthusiastically.
I nodded to granny.
I'm speechless with the beauty laid before my eyes.
We sat at the front bench of the small house. It is a two-storey wooden house. The second floor is covered by a big tree. Seems like embracing the house.
"Your gramps and I first met here" "How come granny?" "Well there was a party that time on the hacienda next to ours and he's one of the guests. It's simple. He's lost and entered unknowingly to my den" She laughed.
Granny and I talked alot of things there. She told me about her love story with gramps.
Even though granny won't tell me, I know she's very sad about gramps condition right now. We all know that gramps won't be living longer than we thought.
------------------------------------------------------------
"Omma, gotta go somewhere" I said while running down the grand staircase of the mansion.
" Okay honey. Just don't go far from here okay?" "Yeah mommy~" And i ran excitedly outside.
I plan to go to that place again. Granny told me that i'll be the one will take care of it from now on. Yey!! XD
I unlocked the gate and opened it. I went inside the small house...
"Woah~ pretty!" I exclaimed.
I surveyed the house. Every corner of it. I took up the stairs to the next floor and there I saw a bed. This floor seems like a bedroom to me. It's so clean. There's a sofa just beside the door.
There's also a terrace! Wow! The view here is overlooking the hacienda.
I went to the terrace. I saw a big branch from the big tree beside the small house. I climed to it and sat on the branch.
Better! The wind's blowing my hair and the skirt i'm wearing.
"Tsk! Kitang-kita dito oh! Takpan mo nga!" Huh? May nagsalita bah? Hmmm.. siguro hangin lang yun.
The wind blows again.
"Tsk! Careless little girl. Hoy nakakaintindi ka ba ng tagalog o hindi? o bingi ka lang talaga?" May nagsasalita nga! At tao siya!(Syempre tao lang naman ang nagsasalita.. except kung sa may engkanto tong punong inupuan ko at nagsasalita.. geez.. ) =_____=
I searched where the voice from... and there I saw a gorgeous creature lying on a swing just under the branch I seated! O___O
Sa sobrang shock ko ay nawalan ako ng balance.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!" ........
........
........
........
"Hey missy... wake up... hey..." Someone's tapping my face.
"Ayaw pa rin magising ng babaeng to. Kanina ko pa 'to ginigising ah." Someone whispered.
Ting! *Light bulb*
Huh? Ano yun?
Light bulb sound epek yun ah.
Siguro nanggaling yun sa nagmamay-ari ng boses kanina.
"Kung di ka ba naman si Sleeping Beauty..." After that i felt something soft against my lips... it's moving... biting... tasting...
Am I dreaming?
And when I felt a tongue that tries to open my mouth I immediately open my eyes.
Omona! This is not a dream! Some kind of an alien is kissing me!
I pushed him hard and slapped him.
"Bastos!" I shouted.
"Ow! Why'd you do that? I was just trying to wake you up little Sleeping Beauty." He said while touching his red left cheek.
He's the guy awhile ago...
"If you're trying to wake me up just do it in a normal way! You don't have to do that to me!" "I did, but you didn't wake up. So I thought you're little Ms. Sleeping Beauty and a kiss would do. And it worked!" He said amusedly.
I glared at him.
I can't believe this! Even if I live half of my life in States I still value these kind of things.
He practically stole my first kiss for goodness sake! >//////<
Now i'm teary eyed with the realization of my wasted first kiss...
"Hey... little missy... don't cry okay? It's just a kiss" "JUST A KISS??!!" I yelled at his him while wiping my tears. >:'[
This guy's impossible!
"Look, I really didn't mean to. I just did an experiment if kissing you will work. And it did." He explained.
"Bu-" "And" He cut me off. Raising his finger in mid-air.
"It's already dark outside and you've been sleeping for 5 hours after you collapsed when you fell on me and I brought you here in the small house.. And so I have no choice but to wake you up in any means I can." He said a matter of factly.
Now I remember. I did fall from that tree and after that I blacked-out.
But...
"How did you get in here?!" He doesn't look like a theif and neither a worker here.
Instead he looks like a prince to me. Scratch that.
I mean he looks decent and foreign. Is he half or what. Much like father. Chinito eyes, kissable lips, charismatic, and... stop! I remembered the incident just awhile ago again. >///////<
"I should be the one asking you that little missy" He said skeptically.
"Stop calling me little missy! I have a name. And I am here because i've got the key and this place is granny's!" "Well I guess you've got it wrong. This place is ours and I have the key for it." He showed me his key.
Same as mine. I thought only granny has it. I'll ask her about this matter.
I don't want to argue on something i'm not sure of.
"Well I guess I have to ask granny about it to settle things. Ciao~" I said while walking towards the stairs.
He carried me all the way to 2nd floor huh...
"See you tomorrow little missy!" He shouted at the back. "I'm Khyler by the way!"
Hmph! As if i'm interested to know his name! After all the things he did to me. I'll make him pay. *Evil Grin* >:]
---------------------------------------------
I talked to granny that night and she told me that it is a shared property between the two haciendas (granny's and the neighborhood hacienda).
But the neighborhood hacienda seems not interested with the place so granny took care of it herself.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now i'm here again at the secret paradise. I'm actually inside the house at the 2nd floor.
I heard a gate opened from the backyard. I went to look at it.
"Never knew there's a gate from this side" I saw him walked towards the pathway of the backyard.
"Well you don't have to know everything from this place" He said as he entered the backdoor.
I followed him.
"Well I have the right to know everything from this place kiddo" "You called me what?!"' He said irritably.
Ay... highblood agad ang lolo niyo o kaya nabingi lang. XP
"I said kiddo" I said teasing him.
"Look little missy let's settle the unfinished matter yesterday" Hmmm... Mukhang bad mood ang kausap ko ngayon.
"Okay first of... Let's have a schedule of our visit here." I suggested.
"Wait. Schedule? What are you talking about?" He said frowning
"I bet you knew already that this place is a shared property between the two haciendas. So we have to make a schedule of our visit here to be fair. I don't wanna be around you again" I said as I sat on the sofa.
I looked at him.
He smirked.
"Hah, as if you can make me follow that schedule. I'll come here whenever I want to little missy". He said grinning evily.
"Stop calling me that!" I really hate it.
I stood up and walked upstairs. This is my favorite place in the house. I guess I have to chill myself here.
I don't care about the kiddo there.
I rest myself in the bed and ready to take a nap when...
"Hey!" Ugh! I could kill this kiddo in no time.
I ignored him. Pretending to be asleep.
"I know you're awake little missy. Or you want me to kiss you again?" He said naughtily.
Argh!
I opened my eyes and sit up.
"What do you want?!" He's really annoyig! Grrrr! >:[
"Ummmm... just wanna be friends?" medyo nahihiya pa niyang sabi.
"Well i'm not" He sat beside me.
"Is it that bad to be friends with you? You see... I don't have any friends here.. I'm just new to this place..." 
With paawa epek pa yan ha.
Nangongosensiya.
At nakokonsensiya ka naman?
Hmmmm... Nakikipagkaibigan lang naman siya tsaka parehas kami, bago dito at walang mga kakilala at kalaro.
I looked at him.
He seemed sincere.
Sige na nga!
"I'm Sharmaine Crystal Shin." I said as I laid out my hand.
"Vincent Khyler Lee" he said smiling then took my hand and shook it.
