ATM 2:A True Madness (FBS#1)

22

I'm singing Taylor Swift 22 at the back of my head. It's a feat that I can still write this despite of my full sched everyday! So, I'm sorry kung matagal. Do votes and Comments. At least 3 for every chapters and I'll update this sooner. Be still, guys! Patience is a virtue, yay!

"Talaga bang uuwi na kayo?"malungkot na tanong ni Tiya Lorna kay Samantha. Nasa livimg room sila at nagku-kuwentuhan.

"Yes po. Gusto po kasing kausapin ni Mommy Sandra si Angelo at marami na rin pong natambak na gawain sa akin sa Manila."paliwanag niya.

"Gawain? Like what?"nag-uusisang tanong nito.

Nag-alangan siya."Ahm..."napayuko siya. Hindi niya gustong magsinungaling sa babae kaya mas pinili niyang huwag na lamang sagutin ang tanong nito. Hindi niya alam kung dapat niya bang sabihin dito na siya ang namamalakad ng kompanya ng mga Salazar at Martinez, but that doesn't mean she don't trust the lady.

"Oh, may problema ba, darling?"may pag-aalalang makikita sa mga banyaga nitong mata.

"Wala po."sabi niya."It's just... I really like you and I don't want to lie to you."bulalas niya sabay takip ng bibig.

Ugh!

Napangiti ito, kabaliktaran sa inaasahan niyang maging reaksiyon nito."I like you, too, darling. And you never failed to make me like you even more."she spread her arms, inviting her for a hug. Kahit naguguluhan ay yumakap siya dito.

"Thank you po."sabi niya habang nakayakap dito."And sorry, too."biglang lumungkot ang boses niya.

"Oh, don't be sorry, honey."sabi nito. Parang ayaw niya ng humiwalay sa pagkakayakap dito kaya mas humigpit pa ang yakap niya."Hindi mo naman na kailangang sabihin pa sa akin ang lahat."bulong nito sa tainga niya."Cause I know everything..."makahulugang dugtong nito.

She was about to talk back when somebody speak from the front door."Oh, baby! Baka magselos ako niyan."pabirong sabi ni Angelo na nakapagpahiwalay sa kanila. Namula siya sa endearment na ginamit nito sa kanya. While Tiya Lorna throw daggers towards his direction.

"What do you think of us? Bisexuals?"naiiritang tanong nito na tinawanan lang ng pamangkin.

"Tss. Akin na nga ang asawa ko."lumapit ito sa kanila at hinila siya. Tumama naman ang mukha ni Samantha sa matigas na dibdib nito. And oh, she's still blushing."Dito ka lang, baby. May pagka-tibo pa naman si Tiya minsan. Kaya nga wala pang asawa yan e."the next minutes, the room was filled with Angelo's laughter and Tiya Lorna's growl.

"Ikaw talagang bata ka! Kung hindi ko pa alam, galing ka doon sa kababata mo!"sigaw ni Tiya Lorna kay Angelo pero agad ding napatigil ng ma-realized ang sinabi."Ops."

Napatingin siya kay Angelo na nakatingin na pala sa kanya. May pag-aalala sa mga mata nito.

She sighed, bago tuminging muli sa ginang."It's okay, Tiya."binigyan niya ito ng tipid na ngiti at muling nakipag-kuwentuhan dito. Hindi niya na muling ginawaran ng kahit na isang sulyap si Angelo.

"HEY, wala ka pa bang balak na pansinin ako?"tanong ni Angelo habang nagmamaneho pa-Maynila. Gabi niya plinanong bumiyahe pauwi upang iwas traffic. At alam niya ding hindi pa tulog ang katabi."Hindi ka talaga makakatulog kung mayroon ka pang sama ng loob."he tried.

Pumaling lamang ito sa kabilang gilid at pinagpatuloy ang 'pagtulog' nito. Wala na siyang iba pang nagawa kundi ang bumuntong-hininga.

Ilang oras pa ng biyahe ay natotoo na ang pagtutulug-tulugan ni Samantha. He tried focusing his attention more in the road instead in Samantha's sleeping face. She's really an angel.

Huminto muna siya ng may madaanang convenient store na bukas kahit na mag-a-ala una na ng umaga. Bumili siya ng cup noodles upang mapawi ang antok. Binilhan niya na din si Samantha upang makakain kapag nagising. But he doubt na magigising ito dahil mukhang napakahimbing ng pagkakatulog nito.

He was about to drive again after finishing his noodles, nang makita ang kahabag-habag na pwesto ng asawa. Sigurado siyang sasakit ang likuran nito pagkagising.

Kaya na naman ibinaba niya ng dahan-dahan ang upuan upang medyo pahiga na ang pwesto nito. And when he's satisfied, he drive again with a smile on his lips that he don't know what is it for.

Pasikat na ang araw ng marating nila ang bahay nila. Surprisingly, hindi pa din gising si Samantha.

What a sleepyhead she is!

After minutes of staring at her, trying to melt her through his gaze, he decided to carry her. And while he's carrying her, he had to focused on her figure. She's sexy, yes. But for him, she's thin. At madalas niyang napapansin ang kahinaan nitong kumain.

Napailing na lamang siya as he gently tucked her to bed. Inayos niya naman ang pagkaka-park ng sasakyan niya sa garahe at pumasok na rin sa kwarto dahil kanina pa siya hinihila ng matinding antok sa magdamag na pag-biyahe. He closes his eyes as he pull her small body to him, hugging her from the back and completely shutting his world down with her in his arms. And it feels so good, so right that he even dreamed of her beautiful face, radiant smile, and laughters.

She's jealous, he can tell. Kahit na pilit nitong itanggi ang bagay na iyon, alam niyang nagseselos ito sa kababata niya. But he can assure her that there's nothing to be jealous about Ella, for she's just a complete childhood friend to him. Nagkaroon siya ng crush dito noon, but that was years ago. And how he wished that his heart could just easily tell him directly whom he love. And now that she's in his arms, he can't help but realize how he value this girl without knowing anything at all. And he's quite confuse on what he is feeling. Sa tuwing kasama niya si Samantha, nakararamdam siya ng sobrang saya na hindi naibigay ng kahit na sino man sa kanya. Ngunit, palagi rin naman pumapasok sa isipan niya ang kanyang nobyang si Alicia at sa kaawa-awa nitong kalagayan sa kulungan. And soon, he knows he will help her in any way. He don't want seeing her in that state. Hindi niya hahayaang tuluyan itong mabaliw sa kulungan. Galit siya dito dahil lahat ng tao sa kanyang paligid ay sinasabing ito ang dahilan ng lahat ng kaguluhan sa buhay niya- nila. But as he look at her, all his anger will vanished and all that's left is care. He cares for her.

There's always questions in the back of his mind. Is it normal to think of two girls? Is it right to care for two of them? And, can a heart beats for two woman? Whom he valued the most?

Quite frankly, he was looking an answer to his questions and he'll figure it out soon. Soon enough...
