Chapter 5

He is a psycho! A total psycho! Paano siya nakapasok dito sa silid ko at bakit hanggang dito sa bahay namin mismo ay nasundan niya ako? Wait. How? Wala akong napansin kanina na nakabuntot sa akin, also I was the only one at the parking lot earlier, walang ibang mga estudyante!

"What the fck are you doing here in my room? Leave!" I shouted. Mukhang hindi siya bothered sa pagsigaw ko na 'yon.

I was too shocked to even move at my place. Kung kanina ay napepreskuhan pa ako sa lamig ng kwarto ko ay ngayon hindi na. Nanginginig na ako, But it wasn't the cold that made me shiver—it was fear. The man sitting so comfortably on my couch was the same one who had suddenly kissed me torridly at school earlier!

"I was asked to come up here."

Nangunot ang noo ko sa sinabi niya. Anong asked? At here? Sa silid ko mismo? Sino? Pumasok na sa isipan ko ang Kuya Ariston, but then, if he was looking for my brother's room, he was in the wrong one!

"Siguradong mali ka ng silid na pinasukan kung ganoon! At paano ka nakapasok?"

Pero nang sasabihin ko na 'yon ay napaatras ako nang tumayo siya at naglakad palapit sa akin.

"Your door wasn't locked, baby," sagot niya ng nakangiti. Damn. Hindi ko nai-lock?

The first thing that came to mind when he moved closer again was to tighten my grip on the towel, dahil sa panginginig ng mga kamay ko ay pakiramdam ko mabibitawan ko 'yon! And the second thing, my other hand was at my back, looking for something I can use to defend myself if ever this man make a move on me again.

"Diyan ka lang! Huwag ka nang lumapit pa! I-I'll the police if you move closer again!" but my phone was at my bed!

"Sisigaw rin ako ng malakas! D-Don't you dare try me!" pananakot ko pa.

But no matter how loudly I scream, my brother won't hear me outside. My room is soundproof because I have a piano inside. I play the piano when I'm sad and missing our mother. At nagalit ang kuya dahil maingay daw ako kaya lumipat ako ng silid dito sa pinagawa ni dad na bago.

"Bakit ganiyan ka makatingin? Hindi ka natatakot sa pulis? Hindi ako nagbibiro! I-I don't care who you are ipapupulis talaga kita!"

Ngumisi siya sa akin. Why does he still look good in my eyes even with those evil smile?! Kainis! Humalukipkip rin siya at napatingin ako sa mga braso niya. He's wearing different clothes than earlier. Kanina sa university, he was in formal attire—a suit and tie—but now he's dressed casually in a navy blue polo shirt, khaki pants, and not just any shirt and pants, but a branded, very expensive clothes. He's also wearing a luxury watch. I'm familiar with high-end items, and what this man is wearing from head to toe now costs almost five million!

J-Just who is he? And again! What is he doing here in my room? Kasi pangiti-ngiti lang siya sa akin habang pinapasadahan ako ng tingin. Ghad. I am not wearing anything under my pink towel!

"Call the police? Why? I was invited here. You wouldn't want to embarrass yourself by wasting their time, would you?"

"I-Invited?" humigpit ang hawak ko sa tuwalya, ramdam ko na bumaba 'yon dahil nga sa nanginginig kong mga kamay.

"Yes, baby."

He's calling me baby again! At sa mga sinabi niya ay mukhang ang Kuya Ariston nga ang dahilan kung bakit nandito siya. Bigla ko naman naalala ang kausap nito kanina. Napapikit ako ng mariin at sinamaan ko ng tingin ang lalake na nakangisi pa rin sa akin. Parang sinusubukan niya talaga ang pasensiya ko.

Kung siya ang kausap ni kuya kanina then napakalaking coincidence naman nito dahil ayoko na talagang makita ang pagmumukha ng taong 'to!

"If you are invited by my brother and you are one of his friends then you got the wrong room. Lumabas ka na. My brother's room was at the left side, sa pinakadulo," matigas ko na sabi.

Napaatras pa ako nang humakbang siya. Hindi siya sumagot, pero inikot naman niya ang tingin sa buong silid ko. Bawat sulok ay hindi pinalalampas, nagtatagal ng ilang segundo bago ilipat sa ibang parte. At nang humakbang siya ulit palapit ay napasinghap ako dahil wala na akong maatrasan. Cabinet na ang nasa likod ko. Sht.

"I'm not dumb. I know this is a woman's room when I got inside—and that..." he whispered the last two words, leaned in closer, and smirked at me. Natigilan rin ako nang abutin niya ang basa kong buhok at ilapit 'yon sa mga labi niya.

"That this is your room, Arazella Fhatima."

Fck. He knows my name. Saan niya nalaman? Kanino?

"Y-You..." turo ng isang kamay ko sa kaniya.

But my arm froze and I couldn't put it down when his eyes went to my chest now that we are so close to each other, napalunok ako nang makita na naningkit ang mga mata nya sa parte ng dibdib ko.

"Labas! Lumabas ka! Ang bastos mo bakit mo tinitingnan ang dibdib ko!" sigaw ko ulit.

Kung sana may lakas lang ako ng loob na tumakbo at iwan siya dito sa silid ko pero bago ko 'yon magawa sigurado ako na nahawakan na niya ako dahil nasa likod niya mismo ang gawi ng pinto. I am afraid that he will touch my again--sht.

Before I could even finish my thought, that damn asshole... he placed his hand over my trembling hand holding the pink towel and slowly lifted it. His hand was on top of mine, and I could feel the heat of his palm. And I gasped as the tips of his fingers slowly rubbed against my left breast.

"If I didn't know you were killing me in your mind right now, I'd think you were trying to seduce me by letting your towel slip and reveal your breasts—or your entire body, exposing your nakedness—Arazella Fhatima."

A-Ano?

I could feel my entire face flushing with embarrassment from what he said. A-Ang kapal naman ng mukha ng lalakeng 'to.Every word that came out of his mouth made me want to respond with punches! Ang taas-taas rin ng kumpyansa niya sa sarili nang sabihin niya ang mga salita na 'yon As if he's used to women crawling at his feet! It's so easy for him to say those words! N-Na parang ilang babae na rin ang naghubad sa harapan niya para akitin siya!

"How dare you!" I yelled and raised my other hand to slap him but he just caught it. Napalunok ako dahil dikit na dikit na muli ang katawan niya sa akin. At katulad ng nangyari kanina sa silid sa university, iniangat niya ang kamay ko sa ulunan ko.

Nanigas akong lalo sa kinatatayuan ko. And I felt like my knees weakened even more when his face went to my neck, napapikit ako ng mariin nang maramdaman ang init ng hininga niya sa leeg ko pati ang mga labi niyang lumalakad paakyat sa tapat ng tainga ko.

"But damn, baby. I'd rather be the one to remove that pink towel hugging your body and cover your nakedness with my own."
