Jazziyah POVHindi maalis sa isipan ko ang mga salitang binitawan ni Bastian habang papasok kami sa loob ng mall. Walang pipilit sa’kin magsuot ng mga damit na nakikita ang balat ko. Not even him. I didn’t know that his words could affect me this much and leave a great impact in my heart. Most men I know want women to wear sexy clothes. Kaya hindi ko mapigilang mamangha nang marinig ang mga salitang ‘yon galing mismo sa lalaking nakakuha ng atensyon ko. “Wala akong dalang extra cash,” saad ko habang tinitingala si Bastian. He looked down at me with his serious face “Stop worrying about money,” tipid na sagot niya at hinila ako palapit sa katawan niya dahilan upang mapasinghap ako sa gulat.Pumasok kaming dalawa sa isang mamahaling store. Agad na may lumapit sa amin na babae na tingin ko ay nasa mid-thirties ang edad; nakasuot siya ng white tube dress na abot hanggang tuhod. She looks fresh and beautiful. Someone cleared his throat, which caught my attention. Bastian was looking at

Bastian POV I silently watched Ziyah talking to a registrar. It still bugs my mind how she suddenly lost herself earlier, and I couldn’t even calm her down easily. Things happen so fast, I didn’t know I'd find myself recklessly deciding to make her my personal maid. It’s been a year since I felt this weird feeling of being watched from afar. At first, I really thought I was being monitored. You know, Dad paid some puppets to do his order to watch me if I’m being a good son or not. But that’s not the case and damn him if he thinks I’ll follow his footsteps. Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit pinagtitiisan niya parin ako kahit puro katarantaduhan na ang ginagawa ko para lang inisin siya. He can’t force me to choose politics, not in this lifetime. So, imagine my shock when I find out that I’m being stalked and watched with this woman. She’s good at hiding; I can see that. Noong isang buwan ko pa lang siya tuluyang nahuli. But I didn’t immediately confront her. Kaya madala

After we came home last night. Hindi na muli kami nagka-usap ni Bastian. He said his gratitude to Manang for all her efforts for his birthday then he immediately went to his room to sleep. I answered Manang questions afterwards. Napansin ko lang na paiba-iba talaga ang mood ni Bastian. Maybe because he's angry at me last night? I can't help but to smile when I watch Bastian sleeping face. He looks so peaceful and calm. Like he's in a quiet paradise. I pouted when he snored a bit making me giggle. Damn. He's cute! I caressed his thick brows down to his pointed nose. Then my eyes went to his stomach. His body is not that massive. His stomach is flat with no hints of muscles but his biceps is to die for! Bastian is lean and tall with fair skin. I don't have a specific type when it comes to men. But, I guess I have a type now. My eyes slowly widened in fraction when I saw two pair of green eyes staring at me with softness and gentleness. “Sorry, kinuha ko lang ‘yong mga damit mo. Ut

“Blaise! Blaise!” nagising ako dahil sa mahinang tapik ni Manang sa pisngi ko. My eyes widened when I realized something! Wait! Nandito na ba si Bastian? Why is Manang panicking!? “Dumating na ho ba si Bastian, Manang?” my voice laced with panicky Huminga nang malalim si Manang na para bang ang laki ng kaniyang problema “Ayon nga ang inaalala ko Blaise. Malapit na mag alas dose ngunit hindi parin nakauwi ang alaga ko. Lumamig na ang mga inihanda natin hindi parin siya umuuwi.” My lips parted. Today is Bastian's day. Kanina ko pa lang din nalaman na ngayon ang birthday niya. Manang prepared for his birthday. I helped her. Rason kung bakit ako nakatulog dahil sa pagod. I looked at the wall clock above the door. Manang's right! It's nearly twelve but Bastian is still not here! Matatapos na ang birthday niya! “Si Mayor po ba umuwi?” tanong ko habang bumabangon para magbihis Sadness crossed in Manang eyes. She shook her head making my heart fell. Does Mayor forget his son's birth

I woke up so early to prepare a soup for Bastian. I know that he's drunk last night. I'm wondering if he always gets drunk? Gusto kong tanungin si Manang pero mas pinili ko na lang na hindi. Bastian is stubborn with it comes to his father based on what I've saw and witnessed the other day. I was holding the tray where the soup on it. Tahimik ang buong mansion ng Contreras. Minsan nagtataka ako kung bakit ang laki-laki ng bahay ng mga mayayaman kung isa o hanggang tatlo lang naman ang nakatira dito. The place looks so quiet and it feels so sad. I don't know why I suddenly think of this. Or maybe I'm just thinking it that way? I pursed my lips and knocked three times on the door. Idinikit ko ang tainga ko sa pintuan para pakinggan kung may ingay ba sa loob. Ngunit wala akong naririnig. Nahulog ang tingin ko sa door knob. I tried to twist it, and to my shocked. My eyes brightened when it wasn't lock! Pinihit ko ang door knob at nag desisyon na pumasok. My brows furrowed when I didn

I can feel my hands sweating and it's shaking a bit. Pinilit kong pinakalma ang sarili ko pero hindi parin maalis-alis ang pagkabalisa, pangamba at takot na nasa puso ko. Where is he? Hindi ba dapat kanina pa siya nakauwi? For fuck sake it's already twelve in the midnight but he's still not home! Gustong-gusto kong umalis at hanapin siya kung nasa'n man siya ngayon pero pinigilan ako ni Manang Jenna. I bit my lowerlip because of the heavy feelings I felt. Paano kung may nangyaring masama sa kaniya? Paano kung sobrang kailangan niya ng tulong ngayon? Mababaliw na ata ako kahihintay kay Bastian. Is my decision right to be his maid? Hindi ko na nababantayan ang galaw niya dahil nandito lang ako sa loob ng bahay! “Manang may alam ba kayong lugar na pwedeng puntahan ni Sir Bastian?” I don't know if how many times I asked this question to her! But she just keep her mouth shut! “Hindi ko alam, baka nagsasaya lang 'yon.” si Manang na parang normal lang na palaging late umuwi si B
