Chapter 2. she hit the sensitive part of him

Chapter 2

She glared at him.

"You know what? Dahil dito sa kontrata na ito hindi ko na naranasan ang lovelife na normal, hindi ako naligawan, dahil ayaw nang papa ko I never experienced holding hands, date kiss and sex, samantalang ang mga kaibigan ko lahat sila naranasan na yun, dahil sa pag iingat nang mga magulang ko sa kontrata na ito hindi na naging normal ang buhay ko"

Her voice suddenly raised sa inis niya.

He looked so surprised sa mga sinabi niya, she's waiting for a guilty look from him ngunit hindi iyon nangyari but Asher just laughed.

" I have no idea,that my fiancee is so talkative"

Ang plano niya ay inisin ito, pero hindi niya maiwasang na siya ang mainis marami na siyang kinikim kim.

" Please don't call me your fiancee because it isn't finalized yet"

" Well what do you expect? Of course it will be finalized this week and..you have many advantages in this contract, I'm assuring you Ms. Madrid "naiinis siya dito hindi ba ito nakikinig sa mga sinasabi niya?

" I thought you weren't interested in the contract? What happened..? Please stop talking about it because it's giving me goosebumps "

Inirapan niya ito.

" Really,..?my looks were giving you goosebumps..? or your body starting to heat up.. because you were imagining the things we will do after marriage ?"ngayon tila aliw na aliw na ito sakanya this is not what she expected.

'.. why things suddenly shift! '

" Please stop talking about, lewd things Mr. Voclain because I never imagine myself sleeping with a man like you" she responds nonchalantly she bit her tongue hindi na siya nag iisip but it's too late kailangan nalang yata niyang panindigan.

" Like me? What do you mean like me? "He raised his brows.

" Well, I know how womanizer you are, your filthy body already touched many women, and please exclude me because I'm not planning on giving myself for someone like you in the future, I am planning on giving this to the man who really deserves it "inirapan niya ito at nag iwas siya nang tingin.

Ngunit bigla itong natahimik parang sumobra yata siya.

Kita niya ang pagtagis ng panga nito, looks like she already hit his sensitive part.

But he just grinds from ear to ear.

"Very well Ms. Madrid,if that's your opinion I can't do anything about it we will just see each other again, next week before I can finalize the contract and I will just send you a copy"

" Really? Are you for real? Nakikinig kaba sakin? "Naiinis niyang tanong dito.

" Yes, I Am.. "

" I never agree on marrying you Mr. Voclain., I wanted to end this conversation because it's making me sick"patuya niyang sabi dito.

He stared at her expressionless but he look a bit of upset.

He didn't response ngunit tumayo ito at dumiretso sa mga libro sa shelf na tila may hinahanap habang nakatalikod.

Now she can clearly see his perfect body from behind his shoulder were broad, matangkad at maganda ang katawan and his bottom, umbok na umbok.

Ngunit bigla itong humarap buti nalang at sa papel na hawak ito nakatingin na tila may binabasa and he smirked.

Kinuha nito ang cellphone at tinawagan si Frederick at maya-maya'y kumatok si Frederick sa pinto at may dalang envelope.

" Thank you"sabi ni Asher habang nilalabas ang laman nang envelope.

At inabot sakanya nito ang mga papel.

"Read those.,"

Nagtataka man ay kinuha niya ang papel at natuptop niya ang bibig sa nabasa, her hands quiver.

"What the..."nanlalaki ang mata niya at pakiramdam niya ay nanlambot siya.

"Well as you can see Ms. Madrid you can't decline this marriage, your father owes a large amount of money, from my grandma, if you declined you and your family will pay that sum of money with interest of course of twenty five years.,and the deadline of the payment will be the same as the deadline of supposed to be our marriage, but if you accept the marriage you and your family will be able to pay the debt and you can get this amount of money"at inabot pa sakanya nito ang papel at kagaya kanina.

Milyon ang utang nang daddy niya pero limang double ang makukuha nito oras na magpakasal sila.

Kaya pala ganun nalang ka higpit ang papa niya sakanya.

"W-what the reason.. bakit., Bakit magkautang ang papa ko..?"

Nagkibit balikat si Asher.

"You can ask your father about the details of it, wala ako sa lugar" simple nitong paliwanag

Napahilot siya sa ulo.

" So, we will surely meet in one week Ms. Madrid I'm expecting you to be here at the same time"

And he gave her confidence and a satisfying smile.

'... d*nmit!.. '

.......

Her parents are waiting for her at nasa sala ang mga ito halata naman ang kaba sa papa niya.

"Anak kamusta?" Agad na bungad nang papa niya but she didn't respond ngayon gusto niyang malaman kung ano ang dahilan.

"Pa.. sabihin nyu nga po sakin ang totoo, bakit kayo nag kautang nang ganun kalaki?"

She seriously gazed at her father at nagkatinginan naman ito at ang mama niya.

"Anak, patawarin mo ako hindi ko sinasadya na mapunta ka sa ganitong sitwasyon, nagkautang ako sa Maradang dahil naloko ako dati nang dati kong kaibigan"

Nangunot ang noo niya sa sinabi nito.

Dahil grade two lang ang natapos nang tatay niya ay niloko ito nang naging kaibigan pinapirma ito at hindi alam nang tatay niya na binebenta na pala nito ang ari-arian nang Maradang dahil ang papa niya ang caretaker nang lahat nang ari-arian nang pamilya kaya ang tatay niya ang nanagot binigyan ito nang palugit na 25 years bago pa siya isilang, still her parents work under the Maradang, hanggang mag pitong taon siya at makita siya nang personal nang Donya Almira Maradang at gandang ganda daw ito sakanya at giliw na giliw, then she offered a contract to her father dahil naaawa din ito. And that's all the start of her being arranged.

Tulala parin siya habang nakatitig sa kisame kaya pala ganun nalang mag ingat sakanya ang mga magulang at pinaghirapan pa siyang mapatapos nang college para hindi siya mamaliitin nang magigi niyang asawa at hindi siya maloko.

Napahilot siya sa sintido.

Sumasakit nang sobra ang ulo niya pero naaawa siya sa papa niya.

At kinaumagahan ay nahihiya ang papa niya sakanya nakaramdam naman siya nang pagka konsensiya mahirap din para sa papa niya ito kaya gagawin nalang niya ang lahat para makatulong.

"Aalis napo ako ma, pa"

Paalam niya at tumayo siya sa harap nang papa niya na nakayuko at tila bata na nagtatampo.

"Pa, wag kang mag alala nakalimutan kong sabihin kahapon nga pala ay ayos ang naging usapan namin at magkikita kami ulit sa isang linggo para sa kontrata"

Napatingala ang tatay niya sakanya at tila nagulat nanubig ang mga mata nito may sakit na sa puso ang tatay niya at mahirap nang makulong pa ito.

"Talaga anak?!" Tuwang tuwa na sabi nang nanay niya.

She smiles and nodded.

"Pa wag kanang mag alala diyan, ok? Aalis napo ako baka malate ako"

Hinalikan niya sa noo ang mama niya at pagkatapos ang papa niya at nakangiting kumaway pa bago umalis.

Ngunit nasa resturant na siya ay ukopado parin ang utak niya.

"Hey.. are you ok?" Naputol ang pag iisip niya nang biglang sumulpot sa harap niya si Ethan.

"Ah, yes.." matipid niyang sabi dito.

"Looks like you're occupied,", napa titig siya dito hindi niya alam kung dapat paba niyang ipaalam iyon kay Ethan maybe it's nit worth it at may kumakalat din na balita sa mga crew nila ngayon and she was sure si Ethan ang may gawa.

"Ahm, no nagkaproblema lang sa bahay" Ethan nodded.

"You wanted to talk about it?"

She shook her head, maybe mas maganda kung iiwasan nalang niya si Ethan nang paunti-unti dahil magkaka asawa narin naman siya.

"It's fine, ah wait tulungan ko lang si Jade," palusot niya at nilapitan si Jade ang kahera nila dahil sa inventory na at ibang shift na ang papasok.

She was also serving pag kulang ang tao o cashier, sometimes even cleaning of tables.

Ethan is her boss actually he is the owner of the resturant, pero nang nag apply siya dito isang taon na ang nakakalipas ay nagsimula na itong mag stay sa restaurant nila, kesa sa ibang resturant nito because he owns three resturants.

And obviously Ethan likes her pero mula nang malaman niya na engaged na siya ay hindi na siya nagpakilala na single, si Ethan lang ang naging makulit dahil hindi ito naniniwala na engaged siya sa isang sikat na tao.

At hanggang ngayon ay iniisip nito na nagsisinungaling lang siya para hindi maligawan.

Sino ba naman ang maniniwala na fiancee niya ang lalaking hindi naman nakauwi sa kanila, at kilala lang sa ibang bansa at sa ibang lugar?

Ganito ang routine niya araw-araw mas gusto niya rin ito dahil nakakagalaw siya.

But she was pissed after hearing the crew's na naguusap sa locker area nila na may imaginary fiancee daw siya, mukha siyang ambisyosa sa mga mata nang mga ito.

Tumulong siya sa paglinis at disinfect nang mga tables ngunit maya-maya'y nasa tabi na niya si Ethan holding a box of macaroons.

"Try this, siguradong mababawasan ang stress mo"

Tiningala niya ito ngunit biglang naghiyawan ang mga kasama nilang crew, na tila mga kinikilig.

She isn't happy, surely aasa si Ethan so she refused at tinalikuran ito at pumasok sa kitchen.

"Maleah..!"

But she just ignored him hanggang makarating siya sa stockroom ngunit nakasunod pala ito sakanya.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to--"

"Sir Rodriguez, I'm sorry"

Ethan face stiffed dahil sa tinawag niya dito.

"Don't be like this Maleah, I'm sorry --"

"Ethan, I'm going to be married"

Putol niya dito but Ethan just laughed at napairap siya sa hangin.

"You can just say it Maleah, if you don't like me pero hindi mo na kailangang gumawa nang kwento"

She feels so annoyed sa tono nito napailing siya and she walked past him and just ignored him ayaw na niyang pumatol.

Ngunit hanggang makalabas ulit siya ay nakasunod ito sakanya, but Ethan distance himself to her paglabas nila.

Ngunit maya-maya'y nasa tabi nanaman niya ito.

Ethan was following her these past few days, at nakikipag usap lang siya pag dating sa trabaho.

" Sir, I'm going to take my leave tomorrow" because that was the day magkikita ulit sila para sa kontrata seryosong inabot niya ang leave form niya dito this is almost one week nang huli silang magkita ni Asher.

But Ethan shook his head.

" I'm sorry Maleah hindi kita mapapayagan, kaka leave mo palang last week at ngayon ulit, don't tell me your going to meet your imaginary fiancee"patuya nitong sabi.

Ngunit inirapan lang niya ito at naiinis na siya.

" Sign it sir"she response nonchalantly

" So who's the boss now? "Patol pa nito sakanya.

" Sir, I have one whole year perfect attendance at ngayon lang ako nag leave so please sign it"

" And if I'm not? "Tila panghahamon pa nito.

" Then, absent ako bukas"

" You will lose your monthly allowance"

" It's fine, I just don't want to talk to you anymore"

at kinuha niya ang form niya and crumpled it na tila kinagulat nito.

She took her bag at nagmartsa palabas.

Ethan

(If you didn't go to work tomorrow you will be suspended)

Basa niya sa replay nito at lalo siyang naiinis dito.

ASHER

Napahilot siya sa sintido paglabas ni Maleah sa library niya he still can't believe it she hit his pride hard.

" Sir Sebas, I didn't expect na ipapakuha mo pa ang kontrata sakin"bungad ni Freddie sakanya pagpasok nito sa library.

"Yeah, I Am also surprised, akala ko mabilis lang siyang mapapa oo but, I didn't expect she will going to refused and told to my face that she wasn't interested in me"

He chuckled with disbelief, nagulat si Freddie and soon laugh.

"Well mukhang ibang klaseng babae siya sir, o baka naman may lalaki siyang gusto" he froze at napabaling kay Freddie.

"What do you mean?"hindi pwede iyon, because he was handsome enough to win every women.

"I mean, of course the woman will refuse if she has already someone in her heart"

"That's impossible, Fred even a woman is married or in relationships begged me just to have me"

Because he's been in that kind of situation many times and he can bring those women in his bed, kahit ilang minuto o oras palang niyang nakakasama but Maleah.

"Ahm, sir maybe she was serious in that guy that's why she was refusing you dahil ayaw niyang masaktan ang feelings nang lalaki na gusto niya"

It sends him into deep thinking.

'.. this can't be., if I can't pursue her my inheritance..my cars.. '

"Tomorrow, let's go visit her in her workplace"

"Sir?"

"Or you need to investigate who's that man"

"Yes sir" agad na sagot ni Freddie.

.......

Asher was staring now in front of the resturant na pinagta-trabahuhan ni Maleah.

"She's the supervisor sir, she's helping her staff to serve clean the tables taking order in short, she's a kind leader and... Oh everyone thinks that she has a relationship with her boss the owner but, she never confirmed it"

He feels stiffed when he saw her, like what Fred said she was wiping the table and gracefully welcome costumers and guiding them personally at dahil salamin ang dingding nang resturant ay kitang kita niya ang galaw nito sa loob.

He already saw her picture bago pa siya umuwi but he didn't expect that she was gorgeous in person, her skin and her body her bottom and her front na tayong tayo.

Makes him feel hot remembering her clothes that time.

But his brows frowns when he saw a man going near her and starts talking to her.

"He is that man, boss base on my investigation he has three resturants but he was staying in this resturant because of Ms. Maleah and look how Ms. Maleah smiles at him it was so sweet"

His jaw tightened that man is the reason why she wanted to back out from their marriage.

"And surely sir, that man already gain her trust"

He needs Maleah to fulfill his grandma's lastwill, she thought it will be easy.

Everything he has now and what he achieves will be in vain, because his grandma tricked him,and she's a cunning woman.

Before when he's just a teenager he didn't know na nakapirma pala siya sa kasulatan nito na hindi man lang niya inintindi.

Once na hindi niya tuparin ang lastwill nang lola niya, everything he owns will be confiscated by the banks at the age of thirty.

And ten months from now he will be 30 at mahihirapan pa pala siya sa mapapangasawa niya.

He will do everything to pursue her for the sake of his wealth paniguradong bully ang aabutin niya sa dalawang kakambal pag na ilit lahat nang pinaghirapan niya.

So he watched her closely and observe until the last day of her work.

At hindi na niya napigilan na pumasok sa loob kasama si Fred like what they witness the other day make him pissed Maleah look occupied while cleaning the table nang lumapit ang lalaki dito offering a box of sweets ngunit naging maingay ang mga crew at nagsimulang tuksuhin ang mga ito, Maleah get inside the at nakasunod ang lalaki dito.

"Oh, lovers quarrel" puna ni Fred.

"D*mnit! Looks like she has a relationship with him" naiinis niyang sabi.

"Sir.. I found something interesting"

"What is it?" Tanong niya kay Fred na hindi man lang ito nilingon.

"Well, if Ma'am Maleah found out.,na ang tatay nang lalaking yan ang dating kaibigan nang tatay niya na nanluko dito she will surely hate him" napabaling siya kay Fred at napangiti.

"Well done Fred"

At binalik niya ang tingin.

They entered the restaurant to see clearly and what exactly was happening.

But..

" Sir, I'm going to take my leave tomorrow"seryosong inabot ni Maleah ang form, they choose a sit malapit sa cashier kung saan nakapwesto madalas si Maleah but now her boss was sitting on that chair both of them were disguising themselves.

At nagkatinginan sila ni Fred dahil sa tono na ginamit ni Maleah she sounded mad.

But Ethan shook his head.

" I'm sorry Maleah hindi kita mapapayagan, kaka leave mo palang last week at ngayon ulit, don't tell me you're going to meet your imaginary fiancee"patuya nitong sabi.

His brows raised sa sinabi nito.

"What the hell is he spouting about?" Nagkatinginan sila ni Fred but their ears are active.

Maleah rolls her eyes, and he finds it adorable and cute!

" Sign it sir"she responded nonchalantly

" So who's the boss now? "Natawa sila ni Fred.

" Sir, I have one whole year of perfect attendance at ngayon lang ako nag leave so please sign it"but she sounds annoyed.

" And if I'm not? "Kita niya sng iritasyon sa mukha nang amo ni Maleah.

" Then, absent ako bukas"matigas nitong sagot.

He smirked "that's my woman.."

" You will lose your monthly allowance"tila pananakot pa nito.

" It's fine, I just don't want to talk to you anymore "at kinuha nito ang form and she crumpled it.

She took her bag at nagmartsa palabas habang nagkatawanan nalang sila ni Fred.

But the man stood na tila inis na inis.

"D*mnit! That woman is getting on my nerves!" Naiinis nitong sabi but a waitress walk towards that man and touch his arms.

"Sir, hayaan nyu na si ma'am Maleah ambisyosa lang iyon akala mo naman talaga tunay na mapapangasawa niya yung napaka sikat na taong yun? Maganda lang siya sir pero baka may tama at saka nagawa lang nang paraan yun para lambingin mo"

His jaw tightened sa narinig.

" Yeah bibigay din siya sakin, "tila siguradong sigurado nitong sabi.

But he looks like he also has a relationship with the waitress.

"Like father like son" naiiling na sabi ni Fred.
