Chapter 4- Are you planning to marry that girl?

Hindi alam ni Olie kung itatakas ba niya si Cly sa basement o hindi. Alam niyang kung makitaan siya ng dad niya na naaawa siya kay Cly ay mas lalo nitong pahihirapan si Cly.

Umupo si Olie at umupo rin si Cly. Hinawakan ni Olie ang mukha nito. "Natakot ka ba na mag-isa ka kanina?"

Nakatitig si Cly sa mga mata niya. Kitang kita niya na nag-aalala si Olie sa kalagayan niya. At that thought, nasisiyahan siya.

Palihim niyang iginagalaw ang daliri niya para paalisin ang mga lamok na nagbabalak dumapo sa balat ni Olie.

"Cly?" Nag-alala si Olie dahil nakatitig lang si Cly sa kaniya. Gusto niyang umiyak dahil naaawa siya dito dahil nakagapos.

Hindi nga niya napigilan ang luha niya. Umiyak siya sa harapan nito. Agad niyang hinilamos ang palad niya sa mukha niya.

"Sorry Cly, I have no power to protect you," nanlaki ang mata ni Clymenus sa narinig.

Alam niyang ginagamit siya ng dalaga para sa plano ni Arvin sa hinaharap. Pero alam niya ring mabait si Olie sa kaniya. He's torn, he wanted Olie by himself but he still didn't trust her at hundred percent.

'This is only an act, Clymenus,' paalala ni Cly sa sarili niya.

Tumingin si Olie sa kaniya. "Cly, you need to survive. Please follow dad's orders. Huwag mo na awayin sina Vladimir at kapag 21 years old ka na, aalis ka sa bahay na ito. Kailangan mong tumakas ah?" sabi ni Olie na mas lalong nagpagulo sa isipan ni Cly.

At some point, parang mas gusto niyang magkunwari habang buhay na wala siya sa tamang pag-iisip ng sa ganoon habambuhay siyang alagaan ni Olie.

Niyakap ni Olie si Cly, thinking na clueless si Cly sa lahat ng sinasabi niya. In that warm embrace, Cly secretly touch her hair at dalhin ito sa labi niya.

When Olie hugged him no'ng una siyang pumunta dito, hindi na niya namalayan na nahumaling na siya sa natural na amoy ng dalaga.

'What is her shampoo? She smells nice,' Cly wondered.

"Let's go back to your room." Sabi ni Olie sa kaniya. Cly hold her hand, at pinagsiklop iyon ni Olie.

Paglabas nila ng basement, nandoon na si Arvin, nakatingin sa kanilang dalawa.

Napansin ni Cly ang pagbabago ng mukha ni Olie. He's impressed how Olie changed her emotions in just a sec.

"You did a great job, Olie," sabi ni Arvin.

"Of course, dad. This job is easy," sabi ni Olie sabay ngisi. Tumingin ang mata ni Arvin sa kamay nilang pinagsiklop nila, akala niya bibitawan siya ni Olie but that's not what happened.

"Is that dog so clingy to you?" tanong ni Arvin.

"This dog is scared dad dahil ayaw niya sa basement. I trained him well at alam ko paano siya pakalmahin,"

Cly, sorry. Ang nasa isip ni Olie habang nakikipag plastikan sa dad niya. She mastered the art of pretending, pero kahit na ginagawa niya ito para sa kapakanan ni Cly, nakakaramdam pa rin siya ng konsensya.

She doesn't want to speak ill to him. Olie treasured Cly like a brother, that's why, ayaw niyang nasasaktan ito.

"I see. Anyway, get him back to his room. We'll visit Vladimir later. Bring something to him," matapos sabihin iyon ni Arvin, umalis na ito agad.

Pinanood ni Cly ang reaction ni Olie, kita niya kung paano ito naghahabol ng hininga ngayon.

'You're acting like an animal with a leash on neck where in fact, I was the one you held captive.' Clymenus said while staring at Olie.

But he was caught off guard, when Olie cupped his face. "Were you scared?"

Nagulantang si Cly sa tanong na iyon. But he managed to nod his head. Her sincerest smile appeared. "Thank God," sabi ni Olie.

Matapos makabalik nila sa kwarto ni Cly, agad inutos ni Olie sa mga katulong na asikasuhin ito.

"Please give him some snacks para mawala ang takot niya kanina. And do what he wants," aniya sa katulong.

She bent her knees in front of him, nakaupo na rin si Cly sa kama, "dito ka lang muna ah? I need to go with dad. Babalik ako,"

Cly doesn't want her to go but he doesn't have a choice but to nod. Olie patted his head bago ito lumabas sa kwarto niya.

Nang makalabas si Olie, nawala ang mabait na mukha ni Ceria, ang katulong nila.

"Did she already tamed you?"

Walang emotion na tinignan siya ni Clymenus, "No one can tame me," he answered, coldly.

"Make sure of that. A beast like you should never me tame." Ceria answered, while peeking at the window.

Cly stood up and get his phone he hid under the pillow. He checked the stats and data of the real estate his parents left for him.

"Servino did his job well, ate,"

"Of course. He was trained under dad. Bawal siyang magkamali," nginisihan siya ni Cly.

"When are you going to go back, Cly? Hindi mo naman siguro binabalak na magtagal dito. The Aguary household needs you. That mansion is empty 'cause their lord is not there."

"Are you worried na makuha ni Baron ang yaman ng Aguary?"

Pinagkunutan siya ni Ceria ng noo. "Why? Are you planning to marry that girl?"

Ngumisi si Clymenus. "Since I was 2, you knew that dad arranged me already to someone."

Tinitigan siya ni Ceria, tila binabasa ang reaction niya. "I'm warning you, Cly. Focus on your mission. Makitaan lang kita ng katiting na paghumaling sa batang Baron na iyon, I'm telling you, I'm going to drag your ass out of this mansion."

Napailing si Cly. Dumungaw sa bintana at nakita si Olie na nakasunod kay Arvin Baron. Napatitig si Cly sa mukha ni Olie, the young girl is indeed a beauty.

Olie is holding a gift, cake na ginawa niya mismo. She's wearing a smile that upsets Cly.

'Why are you smiling?' Cly wondered.

"Answer me, Clymenus! May gusto ka ba kay Olie?" tanong ni Ceria.

Cly chuckled, hindi pa rin tinatanggal ang paningin niya kay Olie.

"Stop making me laugh. I wanna crush her," Cly said wondering what Olie's lips taste like.

"Good then. Remember that you're a beast that can never be tame." Sabi ni Ceria bago umalis sa kwarto nito.

'A beast that can never be tame? Oh, I think she tamed me already. So I just wanna make her realize that she should never have done it in the first place.' Cly smirked while eyeing the car na papalayo na.
