Captivated

Chapter 2

-Germany-

"herzlich willkommen" bati sa akin ng isang babae pagkalabas ko sa Frankfurt Airport.

I wish some good luck for every journey I will encounter in here, Germany.

Pagkasakay ko ng taxi dito ay nag-open ako muna ng Facebook and then I saw what Georgina post. It is all about me. Her novel is all about my life na nagkatuluyan daw kami ni Zane but it's just fantasy. You know?.

Pagkababa ko ay may nabangga ako sa isang matigas na bakal. Pagka-angat ko ay isang lalaking nakasuot ng isang fashion glass at matamang nakatingin sa akin. He's familiar. Pero di ko matandaan if saan ko siya nakita.

"What are you staring stupid woman?". Masungit nitong sabi na halos kainin na niya ako ng buhay. Huwag naman sana.

"Aba! Ikaw pa ang galit. Ikaw kaya yung nakaharang kaya nabangga ako. Muntik na akong matipilok dahil sayo!" sumbat ko sakanya. Napatingin tuloy dito yung mga Germanian sa amin. Like what the f*ck men!

"Tsk. I don't care. Next time, you better careful before you speak nonsense. You're mouth is so annoying" sabi nito at nilagpasan ako. Hindi kaagad ako nakasagot. Palibhasa may pa english-english pang nalalaman. Natalo tuloy ako! Hindi ko napaghandaan.

Dumiretso na ako sa hotel para magbook ng room for me. Hayss. For me. Single? Kawawa naman ako.

"How much for one room for 1 week?". I asked politely to the girl in front of me.

She smiled while she answered my question. "7,000 for 1 week, Ma'am. Yet, we have free dinner for today". One thing I like in overseas some people are polite, kind, generous, and maybe you can----

"Miss, reservation for one room" sabi ng isang lalaki sa gilid ko. Hindi na ako tumingin pa. Hmp! Mahirap na. Baka tapunan pa ako ng English na mga salita. Hindi pa ako ready. Huwag muna.

"Sorry sir but one room is already reserved" sabi ng babae.

"But I need to stay. I was there yesterday but you said that I come over here for tommorow. You know what, miss this is the important matters and I don't want to failed my proposal for my business, did you understand" sabi nito. Halos ma nosebleed ako. Ta*inga naman oh.

Lumapit na ako sakanya na hindi ko na alintana ang pagtingin sa mukha niya. Naaawa kaya ako sa babae. Maganda na, mabait pa. Ang sungit naman ng lalaking ito.

Humawak ako sa braso niya at pinalupot ko doon ang kamay ko. But I feel spark all over my body. What is it?

"Honey, huwag ka namang magalit. Nahuli lang ako. Late na akong dumating. Alam ko namang pagod ka eh, huwag ka ng magalit ha!". Nakayukong sabi ko habang naglalambing. "I'm sorry for what he said to you. I was late and I didn't expect he will get angry. I know he has some business to work on. I'm sorry again, Miss"

Pagkasabi ko ay hinila ko siya papasok.

"Honey? Huh! What are you doing again, stupid woman?". He asked. What he know me?. Dahan-dahan akong tumingala sa taong nasa harapan ko and it was a boy I bumped kanina lamang. What a coincidence!

"I'm just helping you" sabi ko.

"Helping me? How? Why?"

"I wanted to. May problema ba?. Atsaka tumigil ka na sa ka english-english mo, pareho naman tayong pilipino. Para kang tanga"

"What did you say? Are you doing crazy? You don't know me, Miss. But thank you for your help" sabi nito.

"Halika kana" sabi ko. Ini-swipe ko na ang card at pumasok sa loob but I was shock, the floor filled with roses. Pagkadating ko sa may kama, the bed filled with roses formed heart. I think we get a honeymoon room for real, huh!.

"Look likes this is my unlucky day. First I bumped into stupid woman. Second the room of the hotel reserved to this woman. And lastly, we get the wrong room" he mumbled while he took he's shoes.

"I'm sorry again". I sighed and I bowed my head. Again, I made mistakes.

"It's okay besides I will be successful to my business proposal. After that, I will treat you dinner"

"Pero may free ng dinner mamaya"

"Sinabi ko bang mamaya?"

"Hindi" sabi ko. Napatingin ako sa laman ng wallet ko. I have 10,000 only. How could I lived for one week for just this money? Anong gagawin ko dito, magmukmok buong araw?.

Nagulat ako dahil may binigay ang lalaki sa akin.

"You can used this in case of emergency, Miss" sabi niya at ibinigay ang isang credit card sa akin. I was shooked. I can't.

"Hindi ko ito matatanggap. I mean I don't want to accept it. Atsaka baka wala ka ng pera di--"

"I have some. This is all yours. This is the reward for helping me. And I don't want to have debt for someone". He said. "By the way, I'm Rid Lenux Monterreal. Nice meeting you"

He is Rid Monterreal. The youngest richest among all the business man tycoon in the world. Ang swerte ko. He is the ideal man of every lady.

"I'm Laliana Paroline. Lily for short. Nice meeting you, Mr. Monterreal". I said. I smiled to him pero nanatili siyang seryoso.

"Nice nickname. But I prefer to call you, Yana. It suits you" sabi niya. Yana. Kailan pa naging Yana ang Lily, eh sounds like lang ng Yana ang Laliana.

"What are you thinking again? Are you thinking for doing something craziness?" Tanong niya. Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin. Bago pa ako magsalita ay may kumatok sa pinto.

"Ako na" sabi ko at pinagbuksan. Nakita ko ang isang babae ns may dalang wine at flowers.

" This is for you, Ma'am for your husband. I hope you will enjoy your honeymoon vacation here. This is wine and flowers for you two. Enjoy" sabi nito. Natampal ko ang aking noo dahil sa sinabi nito. Kinuha ko ito at isinarado ang pinto. Maingat kong nilapag ang tray na may wine atsaka flowers.

"This is really crazy!" sabi niya.

"Anong nangyayari?". I asked him.

"My father wants me to go back to the Philippines"

"Eh bakit parang namatayan ka?"

"I haven't found a girl who will be introduced to my family as my future wife. If I didn't introduced one, they will get my money I've been trying to get and I've been work on" sabi niya.

Tumingin siya saglit sa akin.

"Can you do me a favor?". He asked me. Seryosong nakatingin siya sa akin.

"What is it?"

"Can you be my girlfriend?"

What? Is this for real?
