Captivated

Chapter 6

........

Pagkalabas ko ng kwarto ay bigla lang na sumugod si Percy sa kinaroroonan ko at malakas na sinampal ako.

"Are you flirting with my babe? You are slut!". Dinuro niya ako. Sasampalin niya sana ako ulit ngunit mabilis na hinawi ni Rid ang kamay niya. She look so confused.

"What are you doing, Rid?". She asked him. I look at him and I can see his cold dangerous aura towards Percy. Pero nung tumingin ito sa akin ay napalitan ng pag-alala. Tumingin din si Percy sa akin at nahuli niyang nakatingin si Rid sa akin. "Rid, answer me honestly. Do you love this girl than me? Please f*cking answer me. I want your answe--"

"STOP IT PERCY! CAN YOU SHUT YOUR F*CKING MOUTH! LOOK I JUST USE YOU AND I DON'T WANT TO MARRY YOU. I JUST ANSWERED WHAT YOU'VE BEEN ASKED, CAN YOU PLEASE ZIP YOUR MOUTH? THIS GIRL INFRONT OF YOU, WILL BE MY WOMAN FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES" galit na saad ni Rid at hinila ako papalabas. Nakasalubong namin ang isang babae na kamukhang-kamukha ni Rid.

"Please to meet you, I'm Reese Leila Monterreal. He's half sister. And you are?" Nakangiting sabi nito.

"I'm Lalia---"

"She's Laliana Paroline, my wife". He smiled. I see his sister smiling towards at me.

"By the way, Mom want you to go home. About Percy, don't mind her. I can barely handle her. Laliana deserve you. C'mon brother be nice to other girls so that you can't hurt anyone around you" sabi nito at nilagpasan kami.

"Tsk. Don't mind her, Yna. She's just talk too much and say nonsense" sabi niya at hinawakan ang kamay ko papalabas nang hotel.

"You have been recovered. You need some rest"

He faced me and he f*cking smile. Darn! What's wrong with me when he smile?.

"I'm totally fine, love. Just please let me date you today. Don't worry to much. I will be stronger as long as I have you" sabi nito. Wala na akong nagawa kundi magpahila hanggang makarating kami sa amusement park.

Napatingin ako sa nakakatakot na roller coaster. Napalunok ako dahil sa taas ng pagkakabagsak nito.

"Are you going to try it, love?". He asked me.

"Noo! I'm afraid of heights" sabi ko. Pinaharap niya ako sakanya.

"You don't have to be afraid. You taught me how to be brave and I want you to do that with me". Tumango ako bilang pagsang-ayon. Bumili na kami ng ticket at naghanap ng upuan. Nang makaupo ay halos di ako mapakali. I was nervous. Even my hand is trembling.

He hold my hand. "I am here. Free to scream your problems"

Napapikit ako ng magsimula na itong umandar pero hawak niya parin ang kamay ko na basang-basa na ng pawis.

"I can't do it" sabi ko nang makita ang taas na pala ang narating ng roller coaster.

"Yes you can. You can do it, love. Just trust me" sabi niya. I stared at him a half an hour until

"WAHHHHHH. I CAN'T DO IT." sigaw ko nang bumaba na ang roller coaster. Ramdam ko ang paghigpit ng pagkakahawak ng kamay ni Rid. Napatingin ako sakanya at nakangiti lang siya while looking at me.

"Why are you smiling?" tanong ko sa kalagitnaan ng pagkababa ng roller coaster.

"You made it, love. I know you can do it. I made you smile." Sabi niya. He's proud for making me smile.

"Thank you for the courage and faith. Thank you Rid for making me happy again" . I smiled as I thank him. You really make me happy, Rid.

"You're welcome as always, Laliana" sabi niya. Maya-maya pa ay bumaba na kami at kumain muna.

"What do you want?" He asked me. "anything will do"

He smiled. Umorder muna ito at naiwan muna akong mag-isa. Pagbalik niya ay may dala na siyang french fries, tacos and Cheetos.

"Ang dami naman" sabi ko.

"Because I make you happy. Well I order more for you" sabi niya at inilapag na ang inorder.

"Thank you" sagot ko.

Pagkatapos naming kumain ay niyaya ko siyang sumakay kami ng Vikings but he refuses to ride with me.

"Please. Pretty please" I beg him so that he will agree.

"Fine!". Yeheyy! He finally agree. Ako na pumila at bumili ng ticket for me and for him.

"Let's go" sabi ko at hinila siya.

"No. I won't sit in the highest chair. I'm fine in here" saad niya at umupo sa gitna but I wanted to ride sa pinakamataas cause I want to enjoy the money I pay.

Hinayaan ko siyang umupo doon. Pumunta ako sa pinakasulok. May tumabing lalaki sa akin. Napabaling ang atensiyon niya kaya sumama ang tingin nito sa akin. Magsisimula na sana ang pag-andar when he raised his hand and stop for the moment.

"Is there any problem, Sir?" Tanong nito sakanya.

"I want to be sit next to my wife, if it is alright?" sabi nito.

"Where is your wife, Sir?" Tanong nito ulit sakanya.

"She's right there" sabi niya sabay turo sa akin.

"Ayieeeeeee. What a lucky and perfect girl" sabi ng isang babae sa  harap ko.

Namula tuloy ako na kina-ingay ng paligid. Nasampal ko tuloy ang mukha ko sa pagkahiya.

Umalis yung lalaki sa tabi ko at pumalit si Rid. He seems so pissed off. Damn! I'm scared.

"You are naughty" sabi niya sa akin at pinisil ang kamay ko. "You want to be punished, huh? Better watch your action, Laliana or else I will make you happy all the time"

Napalunok ako dahil sa sinabi niya. He's angry. Nagsimula nang umandar kaya nag-enjoy ako nang pagsigaw at pagtaas ng kamay ko. Pagkababa namin ay nagulat ako nang mamula si Rid.

"What's wrong?" I asked him.

"I think I have eaten pickled. I'm allergic" sabi niya.

"What! We will go home" sabi ko sakanya. Inakbayan ko siya but he put his hand on my waist and faced me to him.

"I will let you see my punishment. Be ready" sabi niya at sinunggaban ako ng halik infront of everyone. My eyes widened when I saw a figure of a man in Rid's back. It was Zane looking straight at me. I was about to call him when Rid stop kissing me. He's looking at me with confusion. He looked back and I was relieved when he didn't see Zane. Thanks God!.

What I'm going to do? He's here but what about Rid? Damn! It is hard to choose.
