What if your oh so Normal life turned into a dissaster after meeting Mr.Right?
Ahem, Mr.Right nga ba?
Jhiro Mijares, the oh so yummy billionaire who accidentally passed by and saved Chiyo Manalili when she was being harassed. She was desperate and h...
I didn't know how we managed to go back after that. Ang alam ko lang ay para akong unggoy na nakasabit sa leeg ni Jhiro the whole time na pati sa loob ata ng kotse pauwi ay naka kandong ako sakaniya. I'm glued to him. Ayaw ko talaga siyang bitawan.
He didn't complain or said anything..he just carried me and held me.
After we got home till now. Nakayakap parin ako sa kaniya. He's holding me in his arms. Nakaupo lamang kami sa sahig ng kwarto, I stopped crying but I still feel scared, sobrang basang basa na yung damit ni Jhiro dahil sa iyak at sipon ko.

We didn't say anything for a while hanggang sa kumalma ako. Nanginginig parin kasi ako kakaiyak kanina. But after Jhiro patted my back and started playing with my hair, naramdaman ko na lang ang pag hinto ng pag-iyak ko.
Madalas mistulang Stoneman si Jhiro pero kapag ganito siya ka gentle saakin nanlalambot naman ako. It's a weird feeling. I feel safe and calm in his arms, he's a cold man yet, why I feel so warm right now?
Nabibingi na ako sa katahimikan and my heart beating so fast makes it worse. Nag isip ako nang pwedeng sabihin para naman matanggal ang weird na pakiramdam na ito.
" Jhiro? " I called out to him. But It came dry and cracked, kakatapos ko lamang kasing umiyak.
" Hmn? " Sabi lamang niya while still playing with my hair.
" Kailan ang birthday mo? " I asked out of the blue. I heard him chuckled, But he answered anyway.
" August 1 " sagot niya. I smiled habang naka subsob pa rin sa dibdib niya.
" Ilang taon kana? "
" 28 " He said sounding entertained. Napaangat naman ako nang ulo sa sagot niya. He's 5 years older than me!
" Akala ko 2 years lang ang tanda mo saakin! Ang tanda mo na pala! " I exclaimed. Napa kunot noo naman siya habang nakatitig saakin.
" You make it sound like I'm a grandpa. Limang taon lang ang tanda ko sa'yo, hindi isang dekada. " Sabi niya. Ang cute niya. Hala.
" Sabi ko nga. Edi si Marcus and Jhiyo 28 na rin? " Tuloy kong tanong. He reached out for my face at pinunasan ang pisngi ko na may bakas ng luha. He's looking at me with gentle eyes and a genuine smile plastered on his face. Nararamdaman ko ang pag iinit ng pisngi ko.
Jhiro RARELY smiles, sa ilang linggong pagkakakilala ko sa kaniya tatlong beses pa lamang siyang ngumingiti. Hindi fake na ngiti yung as in totoo. He's not like Jhiyo na parang santo pag tinignan mo, but his smiles are really beautiful. Jhiyo's smiles are always seemed suspicious, and I find them unsettling.
That's why Jhiros smiles are special. Kapag ngumingiti siya napapangiti na rin ako. Sobrang proud ako kapag napapangiti ko siya. I want him to smile more, I want to know many things about him. I want him by my side.
I look at him. Nag isip muna ako kung itatanong ko ba sakaniya o hindi, but curiosity killed the cat.
" Jhiro...bakit hindi kayo close ni Jhiyo? " I asked instead. Natatakot kasi akong malaman yung totoong nangyari bakit siya biglang nawala. He's explaining earlier pero hindi ko narinig kasi naiiyak na ako, or maybe I didn't need it. Masaya na kasi akong binalikan niya ako. He look at me for a moment , huminto ang kamay niya sa paglalaro sa buhok ko and I already regretting what I have asked.
" Jhiyo... I don't hate him. " pagkuway sabi niya.
I was taking my silence and just staring at his eyes. Nakababa ang tingin niya tila nag iisip nang sasabihin. But when he finally look straight to my eyes nagulat ako ng hilahin niya ako at yakapin, I'm in his arms again. Naks, si Jhiro nasarapan sa yakap ko. Eme!
Ahem. Anyway hindi ako nag comment and let him hugs me.
" I'm jealous of him. " he whispered.
Napataas ang dalawa kong kilay dahil sa sinabi niya. Jhiro Mijares is jealous of someone!?? And it's none other than his free spirited twin? Unbelievable.
Hindi pa rin ako kumibo at nakinig lang waiting for him to find the right words. I can't believe it! Jhiro actually opening up to me!
" He— can do something that I'm not permitted to do.. " he trailed off. I don't know pero bigla akong nakaramdam ng pag kurot sa puso ko. Yeah, it's true that Jhiro have everything he can but there's only one I think he can't have. It's his freedom to choose.
" He can be whatever he wanted to be... while I'm destined to be the King of FLS company, before I've yearned to be something different than I am now. I wanted to be a lawyer... but the old man makes me do otherwise, ipinamukha niya saakin na wala akong karapatan para pumili. Did you know that I've tried running away from home? Well, I'm still a kid back there. I'm in the states for college. It was hard—so hard I just wanted to run away. Nagpalaboy laboy ako sa ibang bansa. Then I met Seven. " He chuckles after mentioning him. But it's a bittersweet laugh.
I don't know pero parang sobrang bigat ng dibdib ko. My heart aches for Jhiro. He doesn't have a family to rely on. Tapos napunta pa siya sa isang lugar na lahat ay foreign. He was forced to take the path he didn't choose.
I heave a sight and hugs him. Naramdaman ko namang humigpit din ang yakap nito, reassuring me that he's fine.
" Seven —can you believe that he used to be a thug? We used to fight all the time. But of course I always won. " Pagmamalaki niya. Hindi ko alam kung dapat ba akong ma shocked o matawa sa sinasabi niya. But after a while he said. " They saved me. Seven and Seo..."
Napaangat ang ulo ko sa kaniya.
He look so sad yet happy.
He look proud yet complicated.
He's a person who values his friends...
How can he be broken yet beautiful?
And...
God.
I love him.
I've fallen. Miserably hard, for this Stone man.
Jusme, Kaloka, pakshet, tangina bes. I love him.
And please, tell me what to do. I want him. I want him to fall too.
