Nabulabog ang nananahimik na mundo ni Dra. Guia nang may nakapasok na sugatang macho at poging lalaki sa kanyang bahay habang may hawak na baril na itinututok pa sa kaniya.
'Di lang 'yon, inaakin pa nito ang bahay at lupang dugo't pawis niyang pi...
Diego can't keep his eyes off with Guia. He's observing her every movement. Nasa kusina ito at nagluluto. Nakasandal lang siya sa gilid ng pinto, nakahalukipkip habang pinagmamasdan ito.
Hindi niya alam kung ano ang tumatakbo sa isipan ng babae. She just paused for her job and followed his commands. Hindi niya alam kung natatakot ito sa kanya o masyado lang itong pursigidong makuha ang bahay at lupa. He concluded it's the latter one.
Pinangakuan din niya itong do-doblehin ang sweldo nito bilang doctor basta sundin lang nito lahat nang ipinapagawa niya.
Wala naman siyang masyadong inuutos dito kundi ang paggawa ng gawaing bahay at pag-asista sa kanya sa pagkilos. Malaking tulong ito sa kanya.
Nitong nakaraang mga araw ay medyo nakakakilos na siyang mag-isa na walang tulong nito. Ngunit ayaw pa rin niyang bumalik ito sa trabaho kahit nakakagalaw na siyang mag-isa.
Ayaw niyang nawawala ito sa paningin niya. Hindi dahil sa may pagtingin siya rito, na malayong mangyari dahil di niya ito type.
He liked women who are strong. Iyong kayang protektahan ang sarili laban sa mga masasamang loob. Marami na siyang naging girlfriends na ganoon, isa na roon si Kelly.
Kelly is an ex. She was ideal at first but she became too bossy and jealous. They broke up as lovers but not as friends.
He continued observing Guia. He was observing her because he believed that all women have distinct characteristics. Maybe he can find something in her that will catch his interest.
He noticed that she's too naïve and innocent, considering she's a doctor. Halatang wala pang karanasan ito sa lalaki. Paano kaya nito naha-handle ang mga lalaking pasyente nito sa kainosentihan nitong iyon?
And that makes him wonder.
She's pretty. She has a typical Filipina color and height. She had her own curves too. He remembered the scene in her room when she was wearing only a piece oftowel. She's sexy in her own kind of way.
She has a very long, shinny black hair. She has cute lips; the lower part is thick while the upper is thin. He liked looking at those lips especially if she's biting it to control her emotion. She's not aware that he noticed her mannerism.
The problem with her is she's too conservative. Madikit lang nang kaunti ang katawan nila, nanginginig na ito at umiiwas. Nagtatago ito agad sa kwarto nito at hindi na lumalabas kapag walang kailangan o kung hindi man niya tinatawag. Para bang may malubha siyang sakit na dapat nitong iwasan!
Binulyawan niya ito dati dahil sa kilos nitong iyon na siyang pinagsisihan niya. He saw her got hurt but did not comment. Before she would give him a piece of her mind but recently she's not complaining anymore. Maybe she realized it's futile to complain since she will never win anyway.
These past few days ay parang pinagsisihan na niya lahat ang pagsigaw at pagbabanta niya rito. She's a kind woman. He saw her genuine concern towards him.
He snapped. That was her distinction!
She's effortlessly kind and caring. Iisang babae lang ang kilala niyang ganoon at iyon ay ang kanyang minamahal na ina.
He smiled. His eyes looked down to her legs. And that too, is her distinction.
Magaganda ang hugis ng mga legs nito nang mabistahan niya noong nakatakip lang ito ng towel. Hindi ito nagsusuot ng maikling shorts na siyang pinagtatakhan niya.
Now she's wearing a below-the-knee duster again. Napailing na lang siya. He held his breath when she caught him staring at her legs.
"Hindi mo ba alam na kabastusan ang pagtitig sa mga binti ng babae?" mataray na sita nito sa kanya.
Halatang napahiya ito at nahuli siyang nakatitig sa mga legs nito. He chuckled. Ito pa ang napahiya! He saw her blushed again.
Sa America, kapag nahuli siya ng mga babaeng nakatitig sa mga legs ng mga ito ay nginingitian lang siya. Soon enough, he will get their numbers and ended up in a hotel or his flat.
Samantalang ang babaeng ito ay halos magtago sa palda ng nanay nito. She should be proud of what she has. Napailing uli siya. He wondered what kind of species she is to be acting like a Maria Clara in this modern time.
"I can't help it, they looked gorgeous," he boldly said.
Tila nagulat ito sa kaprangkahan niya kaya nag-iwas ito ng tingin at itinuon ang sarili sa pagluluto. Lumapit siya rito. Napapitlag pa ito nang tuluyan siyang makalapit.
What the hell?
His naughtiness is suddenly unleashed. He grinned. Lumapit siya lalo rito.

"Ano bang problema mo?" masungit na sikmat nito. She moved one step away from him.
Umusli pa ang nguso nito. Those lips....Oh,boy!
It had been months since he kissed a woman. His body is reacting frantically and he had no idea why.
"What's the matter with you?" kunwari ay tanong niya rito habang nakangisi.
"Y-you..! What's the matter with you too?!" napipikon nang tanong nito.
Halatang naasiwa ito sa ikinikilos niya. Namaywang pa ito habang may hawak na sandok. He swore she's not used to this. He decided to play with her a little. Lumapit na naman siya rito. Atras ito ng atras. Lapit naman siya ng lapit. He almost laugh with her expression. She looked horrified!
Before he found it annoying but now he find it amusing. It's amusing to play with Guia. Perhaps it's because he knew she doesn't have any desire towards him. Her actions are purely natural. That made him amused.
Napasandal na ito sa dingding sa kakaatras nito. Lalo pa siyang lumapit hanggang sa ilang dangkal na lang ang lapit ng mukha niya sa mukha nito.
Itinukod niya ang magkabilang kamay sa dingding at ikinulong ito. Titig na titig siya sa mga mata nito. Iniharang nito ang mga kamay sa dibdib niya. She's already in panicked.
"T-teka lang...ah, kuwan...ahm...S-sir...M-mister..." kandaumid na sabi nito.
"Pablo." He decided to use his grandfather's name.
Come to think of it, he didn't introduce himself to the woman yet. He would love to if not for the circumstances.
"Pablo? Pablo pangalan mo?" nanlalaki ang mga matang tanong nito.
"You can call me anything you want, honey," nakangising tugon niya
Lalo niyang inilapit ang sarili rito. Lalo naman itong hindi mapakali. He chuckled softly. He can't believe he is flirting with the woman! More surprisingly, he is enjoying it!
Nagpipigil siyang humagalpak ng tawa nang mapamulagat ito habang inilalapit niya ang mukha sa mukha nito. He can feel her body froze.
When their lips are already inches apart, he decided to pull back. It was tempting to kiss her but he won't. He can't take advantage of her.
With this kind of woman! She's not even my type.
He decided to move away and send himself to the living room without saying a word.
