marrying Mr. Stranger

Chapter 37

Hello Ms. Beautiful. Nakangiting bati sa akin.

Hello. I said to him flashing my friendliest smile and waving my right hand to him.

Gorgeous lady like you should not be alone. Sabi niya habang nagpapacute. Tumabi siya sa akin na nakaupo sa buhangin.

Well i'm not alone anymore your with me now. what's your name? I asked.

I'm Clyde Jestoni De Silva. It seems that you don't have a boyfriend with you. Can I apply? I just smiled to him and showed him my wedding ring. But it didn't bother him a bit.

Ow... but we can work out on a set up. I can be your boyfriend when your MIA husband is not around. He said with matching sarcasm and emphasized 'MIA Husband'. Humagalpak ako ng tawa sa sinabi at inakto niya. He's too cute and adorable.

Your offer is very tempting little man but loyal ako sa MIA kong husband. He had something important to do kaya wala siya. Ngayon lang naman siya na MIA eh. And its for business purposes kaya wala siya. He will try to make it here tomorrow. Hopefully he will make it here in this island. Its our 5th wedding anniversary kasi. I'm Alyssa by the way. You can call me ate Ly. I told him enthusiastically.

That's sad. I really do hope he will come but if not, wala nang bawian. I'm gonna be your boyfriend whether he likes it or not. Napailing nalang ako habang natatawa sa mga pinagsasasabi niya. But for now, can I offer you at least a company. I came to you because I wanted to make you smile. You were sad kanina. And can I call you Mommy Ly instead? Please? He said pleading, pinagsalikop pa talaga niya ang dalawa niyang kamay as if saying a prayer in front of me. He is pouting while pleading. Sino ba naman ang hindi mapapa OO sa kacutan ng batang ito.

Okay. wish granted. But I'm not sad. I was just mesmerized with the view in front of me. I said to him trying to correct his observation kanina. I can't be sad. At least not in front of a kid.

If you say so. He said shrugging his shoulders. He then stand up and offered a hand for me to stand up. I willingly accepted it, though I did not put all my weight to him.

Where are we going? Hila-hila niya ako.

I wanted to bring you to the most beautiful place in this island. I think I know where he is leading me but malayo kasi ang lugar na yun. Baka hanapin siya ng kanyang mga magulang.

Hindi ka ba hahanapin ng parents mo? Baka naman makasuhan ako ng kidnapping sa ginagawa mo. We can't go far. I said while still letting Clyde drag me.

No its fine. I live in this island. They know where to find me if I am missing because its my favorite place though the place was not part of our property, Its Lola Faustina's. Sabi naman niya. So family niya pala ang nagmamay-ari ng kalahati ng isla ni Lola. Andito ako ngayon sa El Nido. Sa isla ni lola Faustina. Reunion kasi ng family ko bukas, ewan ko nga eh bakit namove eh usually naman sa december namin ginagawa ang grand family reunion namin. Nauna lang akong bumyahe dito kasi nga wala naman akong ginagawa. Pinagbakasyon kasi ako ni Daddy and Kiefer too, nagkaroon lang talaga ng emergency kaya bumyahe siya out of the country. I am hoping he can come tomorrow. Aside kasi sa reunion ng family namin bukas eh 5th wedding anniversary namin. Mag-iisang linggo nadin kaming hindi nagkikita. Though tumatawag naman siya bago ako matulog i still miss him. Sino ba naman kasi ang hindi mo agad mamimiss eh maglilimang taon na din akong nasanay na kasama siya lagi, kami lang dalawa palagi sa bahay, magkasama pa kami sa trabaho.

Last week kinausap kami ni Daddy Bong, and told us the bad news.

FLASHBACK

Daddy... bungad ko kay Daddy Bong sabay halik sa kanyang pisngi pagkapasok namin sa exclusive restaurant na binook niya for our lunch. Tumawag kasi siya sa amin kanina at nag-aya ng lunch. Nakasunod lang sa akin ang asawa ko.
